I have just purchased a 16GB WiFi only iPad 2. The icon for the WiFi keeps constantly drops and gains one bar. With my iPad one I never had this problem. Faulty?
Having the same issue. I've had to get off and on multiple times before it worked. It's a pain. Same thing on three different wireless networks now.
Did you transfer the backup for your original iPad to your new iPad?
Try selecting the network to view the network settings followed by selecting Forget this Network.This will require re-joining the network.
If no change, go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings. This will erase all wi-fi network settings from your iPad and require re-joining every wi-fi network you have access to when returning within range of such a network.
If no change after this and you transferred the backup for your previous iPad to your new iPad, try restoring your new iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup.
If no change after this, more than likely it is faulty.
So what exactly did you do to get it working properly?
Hi Allan,
Yes, I restored it as a back up from my iPad 1.
I will try the above and report back.
Ok, I've just noticed the iPad is only running 4.3.1 so I'm updating that now. The first two suggestions didn't work but I'll try them again once the iPad is running 4.3.2.
Ok, well I've done all of the above and it's still doing it, albeit it not as often as before.
Guess it's a 60 mile round trip to the apple store on Tuesday. 😟
Update:
When I went to bed last night I noticed my iPhone 4 was doing the same thing so I've put it down to the wireless network. However when I woke up this morning and started to use the iPad I noticed there was no wireless icon on the screen at all but I was able to sure the internet so I was obviously connected.
I spent £59 on a leather cover for it and the hinge has fell apart. 😟
Has anyone got anything to add?
It's annoying me now. 😟
Ok so I've had the iPad replaced and this one is the same. Is this a known issue by any chance?
How does it behave on other wireless networks?
Does it constantly drop the connection with them as well?
It doesn't actually drop the connection, the WiFi status bar keeps dropping and gaining one bar. Yes, it does it on all WiFi networks I've tried it on. :(
This is really bugging me now. :(
iPad 2 WiFi.
