Will buying an airport extreme end my iPad wifi problems?

[bowlerman625]

I have an Apple Time Capsule and have no problems with my iPad.

I've been having intermittent wifi issues with my iPad and its really starting to bug the crap out of me now.

Will switching to an apple router end my misery?

I've tried all the recommended fixes with no luck and it seems to be getting worse by the day.

I don't have an Airport Extreme and my Wi-Fi issues are ZERO.

The Wi-Fi issues are software related and will be handled with OS4. If your issues persist then go ahead to a Apple Store and allow the genius bar to help you.

Are you using N or G?

If it has happened on your's and your neighbor's wireless networks, that could suggest a problem with the iPad itself. I would try wifi networks away from your house first though, maybe something weird is going on with the internet in your neighborhood, who knows.
After that, might as well take it to the GeniusBar.

Good luck dude.

I have an airport extreme and fios and it's great, the only problems I've had is a weak signal and thats due to my router location, I need to find a better spot for it.

Airport Extreme

No problems

I have the same router and no issues and I use the WEP security. Never had one issue.

If your using WEP you have no security. Switch to WPA or WPA2 if possible.

Ok guys..my mistake.
I guess my vonage router was swapped out by them a while ago to the motorola vt2542.

I'm trying to find an upgraded firmware for this model but motorla's site doesn't even have it listed. Anyone using this router?

i love my Airport Extreme, but if you have an Xbox 360 in your house, you may be opening up yourself to different issues....

BTW, not one issue with connecting and keeping the connection with my iPad to the AE. It hasn't dropped or asked to re-log since I brought home the iPad.

So which device handles DHCP? I'm not familiar with the vonage router but if you have that and the linksys both running DHCP then you've got an issue and need to turn on of their DHCP servers off.

Then assign the iPad a static private IP on the router that handles DHCP.

I have Verizon Fios at home and was having nothing but problems with my iPad since the day I got it. Then when I went to iPhone 4.0 beta I couldn't connect at all. I turned off my fios wireless and connected a belkin N router I had. Still had issues.

I purchased an Apple Airport Extream on Sunday and am LOVING it. No issues with iPad, iPhones, macbooks, iMacs or. A Mac pro. Range is awesome and simple to setup.

Highly recommend!

Is anyone successfully using the WRT54g with an iPad and having no issues?

Yes, but they are known to be quirky with later operating systems. I found that out after researching it when one of my PCs had problems staying connected with the router while running Win7. It worked fine with XP.

My iPad works fine with it as do my iMac and a different Win7 machine.

BTW, I did buy an Airport today.
