Ipad wifi issue in the hospital?

[OverSpun]

Some people would know how hospital wifi makes a guest say..

User- guest
Pass- guest


However, I'm guessing the iPad falls asleep and it won't keep it's connect, so I keep waiting for the wifi waiting the user/pass. If I turn away on the phone, so wifi only stays connected for 5 mins. It's so frustrating.

Any ideas making this work better? Some hospitals have better wifi systems.

I remember spending a few weeks in a hospital in Jacksonville and the WiFi was fast, very fast and never disconnected on me. Maybe this one was having an issue.

I'm Living in the hospital for 1 month to fight cancer demons. It's real annoying having the wifi shutting down, but I think it's my iPad and phone.

I wish I had a verizon mifi for a bit time.

Hang in there buddy. I was in the hospital a few months ago for surgery to remove chest tumours. The hospital charged for daily usage of the hospital wifi, so I jailbroke my iPad and installed iTether so that I could use my 6gb iPhone data plan with the iPad for no extra cost. In Canada they allow iPhones to tether for free (except for iPad), so I didn't have to JB the iPhone. The iPad made my stay in the hospital much more bearable. Take care.

I believe that if the screen turns off, the wifi signal is disconnected, and that's done to maintain the battery life. There should be a way in the settings to keep the userid and password so you don't always need to enter the log in credentials

I'm glad your doing well! I tried tethering ky iPhone 4, but the phone freaked out wit "no sim" errors for hours. It finally worked pulling the sim and it worked. Cancer sucks. iPads help this a lot

Hospital Wifi

In the hospital I stayed in I found that with my laptop that certain areas of the floor seemed to work better. I found that if I spent time in the patient lounge the wifi signal seemed stronger and I had no connection problems.

Virgin Mobile has something similar, you might want to look at that.
Praying for you!
