iPad Internet not consistent...

[Proudarmywife]

I have had my iPad since march, but within the last few days it will randomly not let me online. I have never had problems before, my wifi is fine and it is everything that would connect to the Internet, including things like game center and my email as well. Any suggestions or ideas??? Please help!

You may want to state specifically which things do not connect. As of right now, that description leaves many many things (outside of the iPad) that could be wrong, but nothing to point a finger at any one of them specifically.

Thank you. When I pull up safari, nothing will load. It says loading, but then times out. It says server is not getting a response. On some of the games that have the game center it says not able to connect to game center. I am still connected to my wifi, and the signal is strong... I have no idea. Lol

Try a hard reset of your iPad - while holding down the home button, turn the iPad off using the switch. Don't swipe the "slide to power off" when it pops up - just keep depressing the button and the switch until the screen goes black. Wait a minute or so, then turn it back on. That seems to fix a lot of odd iPad behavior.

I'm guessing that your connection problem is related to your home WiFi. If so and you keep your modem and router on 24/7, I'd reboot them as well.

Please post back if that worked.

Thank for the suggestions. I have not tried it yet, but I will post back when it does it again

Thank you for the suggestions. It was my modem and not the iPad. Lol. I love this thing!

I'm running into the same problem; and I've selected the "FORGET THIS NETWORK" then rebooted, then connect with my WiFi and everything seems to be OK. Though I don't think I should have to do this every time I come home after a road trip of sorts...
