Wifi keeps randomly turning off and i have to keep restarting it

Yeh so it keeps just shutting off if I don't use it for five mins then I have to start it up again, and type in my password etc...is there anyway of avoiding this? Is happening on my iPhone as well. Wish i could enter password once and then it would recognise it every time

 

Try Settings/General/auto lock and change it to "never".

 

If you choose to do this, you risk leaving all your data exposed in case of loss or theft or your iPad. The passcode lock is adjustable in increments as a security measure.

 

Pass code lock

I refer to auto lock which indeed has different time adjustments one can choose to shut off. This does not however prevent the operation of the pass code lock or the ipad2 cover lock which operates on closing. But having your device lock you out when you don't want it to is remedial.

 

Agree with figuring out why wifi is cutting out. That's a separate issue from autolock and passcode lock.

 

You're right, for whatever reason, I thought I was responding to an IPad shutting down issue. Maybe I clicked on the wrong post or my brain was starved of something at the time. - Sorry!

 

My wifi keeps dropping the signal. The internet screen just minimizes and when you go back on the screen refreshes without doing what i was trying to search or change. I have a second iPad that does not drop it at all, so I don't think it is the router. Any suggestions for settings to check? Thank you.

 

I am having same issue with my NEW iPad 3! It will occasionally just drop the wi-fi connection & I have to go back & re-enter the password. Also if I take the ipad out of the house, when I one back home it will NEVER automatically reconnect to my wi-fi. I have an iPhone 4 AND an iPad 2 & neither one EVER drops the wi-fi signal or fails to automatically connect to wi-fi. I really think there is an issue with the iPad 3 dropping wi-fi intermittently!!
