Re: [iPad] iPad 3 acting a little spacey

 

Unfortunately, Apple's wifi is flakey. Thats a fact. It does not work as well as non Apple scenarios. Wifi issues are always being mentioned, Yosemite is the latest. I know a network guru, professional network engineer. He says that out of every 10 wifi issues his customers have, 9 are iPhones. His suggestion is to throw away the iPhone and get any phone. Or, if you use Apple use Apple routers
 
he isnt biased, this is how he sees wifi and Apple, and that is replicated everywhere on the internet.
 
Me, I dont think I have had any issues. My 6 Plus connects better at the end of my range at home than my 5S did. I do notice that my rMBP starts in 12 seconds, and is internet ready, although lately it isnt, takes 15  seconds or so more to come to life. I cannot recall if that was when I upgraded to Yosemite, but I dont think so. My router is a TP-LINK 8960N ADSL Modem/Router..

In other words, "Wi-Fi is flaky.  Live with it."  Sigh.

iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Occasionally while using your iOS device, you may notice unexpected Wi-Fi behavior:
  • Difficulty locating or connecting to a network
  • Unexpected Wi-Fi signal strength or disconnects
  • Inability to access the Internet
  • Not automatically connecting to Wi-Fi when expected
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
  1. Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
  2. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
  3. Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
  4. Restart your iOS device.
  5. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
  6. Tap alt and Forget this Network.
  7. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network. 
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
  8. Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
  9. Update your device to the latest version of software.
  10. Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

If the issue is still unresolved

Follow the steps below for the issue you're experiencing.

Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network

Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network

Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected

Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi

Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi

Notes
  1. iOS devices sold in China may use the term Wireless LAN (WLAN) instead of Wi-Fi. Not all China iPhone models support WLAN.
  2. If needed, please consult with your network administrator (which may be your Internet Service Provider) for assistance with this step.
  3. iPhone 5, iPad devices, and iPod touch (5th generation) are the only iOS devices that can connect to 5 GHz networks.

I think the concern is that if settings are rese, how many settings does she need to restore back?
 
As far as I know, only the wifi passwords used for your modem and anywhere else you access wifi

Pat, Resetting network settings sounds very scary!  How many settings are we talking about here?
