OS X yosemite - macpro (airportextreme) - ipad - wifi lost

Hello,

I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) with a AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8E). This mac is connected via ethernet-cable, and router, to the internet (this works fine).
since upgrading to Yosemite, i have problems to establish a wifi-network for my iphone, and ipad 2 retina (ios8) - with maverik - there was no problem.

my ipad sees the wifi - asks for pw - and then nothing happens. no internet with ipad.

funny thing: itunes (on mac pro) connects to the ipad - via wifi - without problems - (sync and backup is possible)

bluetooth is disabled (on both)

wlan is: personal WPA/WPA2

any idears ?

thx michael

Mac Pro (Early 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hi mict23,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

In order to resolve this issue where your iPad has no internet connection from your Wi-Fi basestation, please follow the troubleshooting in the article linked to below. Start with the steps below, and if the issue persists follow the section "Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network."

Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).

Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.

Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.

Restart your iOS device.

Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.

Tap and Forget this Network.

Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.

Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.

Update your device to the latest version of software.

Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
