wifi problems on iPad 2 after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

Hello Tom!

The link above says this "The page you tried was not found. You may have used an outdated link or may have typed the address (URL) incorrectly." when I click on it. Any other routes to get to this other solution? Still haven't been able to connect to any wifi!

Thanks so much!!

Took my iPad to the Apple store. They wiped it - couldn't get the wifi to work, told me it was a hardware issue and they'd get me a discount on a new one. (I haven't even had it a year as this is the replacement for the one that wouldn't work before, so is no longer under warranty. Ugh.)

It seems a little fishy to me that I suddenly get a hardware issue right after downloading the iOS, especially when all of you are struggling, too - but that's what they told me.

I really doubt it is a hardware issue -- as I only started noticing this after iOS 5.1 upgrade myself. I've had my iPad 2 almost a year and no problems before that upgrade. I sure hope the upgrade did not interfere with any previously-working hardware...

This is only a "hardware issue" in so far as we were all stupid enough to buy crApple products. It's an issue with the iOS and there is no fix or work around that works for everyone. I've seen a dozen different supposed fixes and sometimes they work most times they do not. None of them have worked for me. It is NOT your router, don't bother resetting it, it's not a "reboot the device" problem, that does nothing except perhaps let it work for a few minutes to an hour. It's a simple matter of Apple releasing a piece of crappy buggy software and forcing us all to put up with it. You should expect no less from a company that uses slave labor to build it's overpriced products.

I strongly recommend that if you can, you sell your iPad to the nearest sucker, uh I mean buyer, and get an Android based tablet. It won't be perfect but odds are you'll be much happier. This is what I intend to do. I've already scrapped my iPhone after the update all but bricked it and I'm now going to do it with my iBrick, er iPad.

Die Apple, join your lord and master Jobs in eternal damnation!

The iPad 2 Wi-Fi Disconnectivity Looks really dissapointing ! I gave it to one the apple stores and they told me , you were not skilled enough to upgrade or Jailbreak your device so that caused a hardware problem and maybe it would cost a lot since I lost my warranty ! I belive it's bullsiht ! and this problem happened since I upgraded my device to I.O.S 5.1.1 !

If you jailbroke it, then you're out of luck.

No of course not ! because It's got nothing to do with jailbreaking the device ! In Iran , hundreds of iPads are getting Jailbroken everyday ! but mine is exceptional ! The WiFI disappeared for ever !!!!!! 😟

Hy everyone, I´ve had recently this issue. I´m from Portugal and my boss has an Ipad 2 3G 16Gb and a few days ago the wireless connection is getting broken down... When i´m near the router the ipad connects the wi-fi, when i´m far, on other part of the house the ipad disconects 😟 I have a 3rd Gen Ipad and it works just fine!

Any solution for this problem? Or its just warranty?

Just off with Apple tech - he swares it's a hardware issue. It happened as soon as I upgraded. Not sure what to do, he said send it in for repalcement for about $260 - oh well.
