I have the 64GB 3G/wifi 1st gen iPad on a Telstra prepaid microsim.
The Internet connection was pretty good until the IOS 4.2 update.
Since that update, my cellular network seems to drop out or just mot connect.
I have to keep changing the APN between Telstra.iph and Telstra.Internet whenever the message pops up telling me there is no Internet connection.
It is very frustrating......does anyone know of a fix?

Have you tried the iPad's 'cure all' fix - power the iPad down completely (hold the Power button down for a couple of seconds)?

It fixes a lot of unexplained problems.

Hi Tim
Yes...I did all that and more....have even done the dreaded restore and no joy.
Apple are sending out a replacement iPad to me.

One last suggestion - hey, you might as well try it while you're waiting for the replacement iPad to arrive - did you try a complete 'reboot' - i.e holding down the Power and Home buttons for 60 seconds until the Apple logo appears?

I doubt it will be any help - most of my suggestions aren't

Press and hold the button of your router for at least 30 seconds,it re-boots your wireless router,it has got me up on line a couple of times when my connection went down.

I didn't know THAT one.....will give it a try later.
I am in my studio now on a lamp working torch......
Thanks anyway and I will post results.

Hi Al
No problems with wifi...only the 3G network and my bf has no problems connecting ad staying connected on the same SIM card on his iPad....

I've got exactly the same problem.. 64gb 3G tetra prepaid with loss of connection since update.. I took the sim card out and back in and it seemed to be ok

Wow - a lamp working torch - definitely keep that one away from the iPad.

Tim

Dory - did that first up, worked for a while and then dropped out again.

Tim - hahaha, yep......I keep them both quite a respectable distance apart!

I have ANOTHER problem now but I think it should be in another thread. It's about the results of the restore.
