Ipad2 keeps dropping home wifi
7 Answers
This is driving me effing beserk!
My ipad 2 keeps dropping the wifi connection at my house. It drops out randomly for no apparant reason most of the time although it does seem to also happen when the phone rings which would suggest its a problem with my internet BUT there is another laptop in use which never loses the connection, which is why im so confused. It doesnt seem to happen on other wifi connections (spent the weekend at my bro's who has very slow wifi because of where he lives and it didnt drop once).
To get it it reconnect i have to do a mixture of turning off the wifi on the ipad, resetting the wireless router, renewing the leace on that connection or turning the whole thing off and on again. None of these are guaranteed to make it actually connect, just things i keep trying.
Has anyone got any idea whats going on and how it can be fixed. It happens several times an evening and Its soooooo frustrating!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Mine does drop it's connection sometimes but it usually reconnects on it's own pretty quickly, I've always presumed it's because the kids have laptops and Xbox's on, youngest is usually on iplayer, the other on Youtube, thank god my broadband is unlimited! Have you tried piggybacking off someone elses signal so you can find out if it's your connection dropping or if the iPad is at fault.
