Why won't my iPad connect to my Netgear router?
Good evening. Until yesterday, I had a Linksys WRT54G wireless router and life was good and devices connected. Then, after 10 years of service, that guy died. Well, now I have this Netgear WNR2000v3 router. I got it set up last night. My MacBook Pro connects, my Kindle connects, my Android phone connects, and even my ******** "smart" TV connects. My iPad, however, won't connect at all. Steps I've taken:
- The iPad's MAC address is definitely in the list of allowed addresses on the router.
- The router's firmware is definitely up-to-date.
- The iPad definitely connects to other networks (like the one at work).
- I've powered the router and iPad on and off.
- I've reset the network settings to defaults.
I've also read through all of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 and I don't think I missed anything.
Here are the wireless settings on my router:
- SSID broadcast enabled.
- Channel: auto.
- Mode: up to 300 Mbps.
- Security:WPA2-PSK [AES].
- Fragmentation length: 2346.
- CTS/RTS threshold: 2347.
- Preamble mode: automatic.
- WPS settings:
- Disable router's pin is not checked.
- Keep existing wireless settings is checked.
- I don't use this, however. I attach all of my other devices without it.
- Wireless card access list (MAC filter):
- On and the iPad's MAC address is there.
Is there anything else? Is there some known issue and known fix? I see a few other people have asked about the same router on the web, but there aren't any useful answers that I haven't tried.
Thanks in advance!
