Q: Wifi issues with iOS 5.0.1

IPad 2 keeps dropping wifi signal after iOS 5.0.1 update. NOT a problem with the wifi, as my iPhone 4 also updated to 5.0.1 and it keeps the wifi just fine - that is if the battery lasted long enough to test it -  the battery on the iPhone 4 DOES  deplete twice as fast AFTER the update is morning!!

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

    Pressione el icono del programa y mantenga presionado hasta que empene a tremblar. Cuando ocurra una cruzita aparece en lá parte superior izquierda del icono. Marque la Cruz y el iPad lê a preguntar si quiete que lo borre. Conteste que si y listo.

    I am seeing the same problems you are seeing with my IPad 2. I have been experiencing this problem since iOS 5.0 update. the ipad 2 will just drop wifi signaling for no reason. I am now having problems with wifi sync as well now since the update.  the wifi issue is so bad that sometimes my email does not load from my server do to wifi issues. I hope apple fix this problem fast.

    Hi, same problem. With the IOS 5.0.1 on the iPad the wifi connection get loss after a certain time. But the wifi symbol is still on the iPad. So also the push do not work and I can't receive mails or imessages. If I want to check the mails, messages and so on I have first to disconnect the WLAN and then connect the wlan on the ipad. Sometimes then it works again for a certain period. So I hope Apple can fix the wifi bug soon on the next Update 5.0.2 because I want to be online with the iPad and not OFFLINE.

    I'm having thr same issues as well after I upgraded from ios5 to 5.0.1. Took it to an apple store and they said they have never come across the problem. They reinstalled 5.0.1 with their store copy but still no luck. Hopefully apple gets a fix during their next update.

    I have exactly the same issue on my brand new iPad2 running iOS5.

    I have changed the wifi channel, tried different settings, etc. to no avail.

    It tends to happen when streaming video - Skype, YouTube. Also during movie downloads.

    My pc does not have this problem.

    We're you able to find a reliable solution?

    Thanks!

    Hello. I've just set up my IPad2 iOS5, updated the soft to 5.0.1 version. I'm trying to connect to home wi-fi router, AirPort Extreme. IPad sees the router, the connections parameters are all in automaticly, but there's no connection at all. I'm lost between all network parameters, may be something is missing. Provided all connection passwords but it never launches..

    Thank you !

    I read online that the 5.0.2 update is delayed due to memory leak issues. Beside the battery issue there's a push to add capabilities to Siri. I just need wifi connectivity back on my iPhone 4 running 5.0.1. I should have stayed at 5.0 at least.

    Hi ! I have the same problem and was very very anoying for me because I was in the Apple Store from Geneva to change my iPhone 4S for an other reason (head phone static issue) and they changed it. The backup with iCloud was ok (I don't know why it worked there and not at home).

     

    But the problem was: How can I restor my iCloud backup without any Wifi???

     

     

    You can share your mac connection ! And it works great!

     

    So I habe an iMac connected with Ethernet. I go to System preferences > Shared > Internet Sharing (mine is in french so I don't know the correct word in english ! ) and activate it ! On the right box, activate Wi-Fi and go to Options Wi-Fi. Here choose the name of your new Wi-Fi connection and here you are !!

    Connect your iPhone to the new Wi-Fi network and enjoy !

    I updated my ipod touch with the upgrade. I cannot connect to wifi that was unknown to me prior to the upgrade. I called customer service. Was told they never had any instances reported about upgrade problems, insisted their own ipod touches work great after the update and refused to aknowledge the upgrade is the problem. They even insisted their was nothing they could do about it. I was trying to contact them for over an hour and a half and kept getting argued with about the upgrade issue and hung up on. Apple is a disgrace now. They need to admit their upgrade is bugged. They are hiding something about it-I think they were told by the company to make up excuses and deny everything. I do not trust Apple.

    Same problem here.  iPad 2 with newest update constantly drops off WiFi while my iPhone 4s, my iPod, BlueRay player, Apple TV, wifes laptop, and wireless desktop all stay on without a hitch.  Oh, and my PS3 has no connectivity issues either.  Only the iPad.  Sometimes the WiFi symbol will be there and still no connectivity.
