Hey guys,

I am having a problem with staying connected to my home wifi. It is the standard Verizon Fios actiontec router, secured with wpa2 psk security.

When I lock my iPad or iPod touch, the wifi connected icon is still visible, but when I unlock it, it seems to lose the connection. The only way to get it back is to turn the wifi off and back on.

The odd thing is, it happens on my sisters iPod touch running 4.1 as well. Both my iPad and my iPod touch are running 4.3.5.

I have another wpa2 psk secured network at my beach house, and it stays connected to that fine.

All of the computers stay connected fine with no issues.

So, can someone shed some light on this please?

Thanks in advance.

All I know is that the iPad shuts off the wifi when you lock it unless it is doing something to keep it on, like checking emails or pandora.

Some routers may get confused with this. Call verizon?
