Web authenticated wi-fi drops out after inactivity

Likely there is no solution, your companies WiFi does this on purpose it is a Commercial-grade network. Like Most Hotels, Hospitals and some companies, their free Wifi will disconnect you for inactivity and also after you shut your ipad off and turn it back on. It's to keep traffic down. I have to sign into hospital Wifi over and over through the day for this exact reason.

hmm that is odd, although i wouldnt know anything about those androids. But lets have a look at renew lease.. select the blue > to the right of the network you want, and select renew lease, this may do something may not. I found this:

I too have the same problem. Sounds like an excellent opportunity for a new app. I will follow this thread and hope for a solution.

I believe I've found a work around rather than a solution. I found that if I connect my iPad to my PC USB via the charging cable, the wifi connections remains connected. As an aside, even though it says 'not charging' it does charge very slowly.

Brett,

I like your solution. It sounds great as a fix.

Can any knowledgeable person on this forum point out how this is possible?

Brett did you try just putting the ipad on power charge from an AC outlet, so it doesnt go in sleep? If that doesnt keep the wifi on for long, it means this has seriously to do with IP address allocation through the windows machine.

I hope all of us on this thread, including Soto, are talking "web authencated" internet connection. So actually the wifi does not drop but the aurhentication drops here. So the problem is completely different from the basic Wifi connection dropping. Lets maintain this.

I think i know what you should do, i'm using a authenticated wifi of my university and wifi was dropping from authentication, but if you go to wifi settings touch the blue circle beside your wifi name, opens a tab, at the end of the tap there is a part its name is HTTP PROXY put it on manual then turn on the authentication and then insert your user name and password, for me it works !

Thanks Reza

Your answer saved a lot of time for me. I had to sign in each and every time to WIFI at my work . Now it is comnecting auto

Thanks Reza.

I had to set my auto lock 'Never lock' earlier to keep my session alive, which eats a lot of battery. Your solution helped me a lot.
