Connectivity issues

Last two days my iPad has been Suh-LOOOOO to connect, if at all. Both at home and at work. This morning I tried to connect to about 6 sites and never made it. I'm talking Google, MSN, YouTube, my firm's portal. Really frustrating! I get "Safari can't open because server has stopped responding." Who's server? I have 3G 16G but am only using Wi-Fi at the moment. At home I ended up standing right next to the router and things still wouldn't connect even though my WiFi icon showed max bars. Also, when I finally do get into a site, like Amazon, and move from one page to another, it's very slow; seems to take forever for pages even to re-load. I even made sure I only had 2 pages open in the browser thinking maybe my memory was struggling. I also turned off the location finder. What am I missing? I wanted to use the iPad for a lot of things but this halt in functionality is putting a serious crimp in my plans!

 

Reboot? Check that your iPad has a fixed IP address in your router?

There is an Apple help site, hopefully someone will provide the link.

 

Here is the link. Good luck!

iPad: Does not automatically rejoin known Wi-Fi networks

 

I guess i don't understand this, when i get to a known network it auto logs in for me be it home or one of the studiios I work at...no problems here.

 

I would try clearing all history, cache, cookies and Turing it off completely. Wait a few minutes and turn it back on. Restart your router as well and see if they play nice then. If not it's genius time.

 

I connect to the network (router) just fine. Mine at home and wireless network at work. It's trying to connect to a site - like Google, or msn.com, it loads and loads and loads and then tells me the server is not responding - all the while Settings tells me I'm connected to Wifi.

 

And I have rebooted - makes no diff.

 

Restore? Take to the genius bar

 

TheMitz - Were you ever able to get this corrected? I'm having the exact same problems and would love to know if you've got a solution yet.

 

As it says in that link, I fixed my problems by:

1) Switching to WPA encryption
2) Using a fixed IP address
3) Turning up the brightness and turning off "Auto"
