You also need WiFi and Internet so sync wirelessly. I agree that, on the surface, it doesn't make sense but I noticed several months back when my ISP was down, the wireless sync didn't work.

I just did the test with my gear, and my iPad syncs quite happily through my Wi-Fi router with iTunes on my laptop without Internet, even with Wi-Fi switched off on my laptop, but connected through the Ethernet port to the Wi-Fi router or not connected to the Ethernet port, but laptop Wi-Fi on.


It's possible that your particular Wi-Fi router stops Wi-Fi, if the Internet is not available.
