Something silly is happening

[frenchman96]

Will try to keep this simple...

My router is upstairs
My laptop stays upstairs as I no longer have battery, so I leave it on power when needed.
My iPad is used mainly downstairs because of above situation
But.....when downstairs, I keep losing connection, and have to carry it towards stairs, and it re-connects

Any ideas please, AND I must stress, this did not happen with laptop, so router is fine, I live 1/2 mile from a BT main exchange

Have you thought of getting another router that puts out a stronger signal ? Your iPad is likely more sensitive to the wifi signal strength and has trouble with a weak signal.

Have you ever suffered issues like this before with your ipad? Did you once have good ipad connectivity and its just suddenly gone stupid, or has it always been this way?

Just downloaded iOS6, and have not received any emails since. I've rebooted, checked settings (although nothing was changed) but still can not receive emails???

Check for a firm wear update for the router move the router to another place get an WiFi router power extender.

Remove your e-mail program and re-install it.

I think you are right about signal, I have discovered since posting that my o2 router is 5 years old and an updated model is in the post.

Yes, it has only recently started happening

thanks to both

Anyone else having this problem, noted above, unable to receive emails on iPad2 either on 3G or WIFI, but can send Emails...
Also, I'm now missing my YouTube icon...?

Apple removed the old Youtube app. You can download one from Google in the App Store.

If you can receive but can't send, it sounds like a configuration problem with your email settings. Is this on a single account or on several accounts?

Please be careful about the language. This is a FFF. Thank you.

Apologies about my frustration blurt. I haven't changed anything in email settings since I bought this a year ago. Issue is I can SEND, but not receive. At the sametime I downloaded iOS6 to iPad, I also loaded my iPhone 4S, and have no sending/receiving problems...

When I did the ipad, the email on my iPad worked just find, but one of the accounts on my iPhone kept giving an error message and would not send or receive. I checked all the settings between the two devices and they were exactly the same. I even called my ISP about the settings and they were of no help. I removed the account and added it back several times. After a day or so, it magically started working. I think Apple has some method to figure out the settings of most ISP and somehow something behind the scenes changed. It has been working fine for several days now and I have no real clue as to why it didn't work.

You can a least try removing email account and adding it back. You may need your email settings info (Apple usually figures these out itself) and username/password as you have to reenter all of this if you remove it. You can also try to reset your network settings, but here you will need all of the important info about your WIFI and router password so you an get it all back and going. Make sure you have a way back before removing/resetting stuff.

Appears Apple is working on a number of solutions for the glitches in the new op system. I'll rely on my iPhone for emails for awhile to see if they get to the root of the problems, and provide appropriate solution...thanks for your effort.
