iPad hasn’t been a success as yet but still many units have been sold. As the device is used more , more issues with the device will be revealed. One of the issue that has come to fore is the problem for some users with the Wifi.

Apple is infamous for its products being ingrained with hardware or software problems usually in early stages of the product .  Normally the problems were seen in the devices of people using jailbroken sets. But this latest Wifi problem has nothing to do with the sets being jailbroken.

The problem being faced by users is that iPad does not automatically rejoin known WiFi networks. Apple has recognized this problem. Apple came out with a statement recognizing the  problem :

“Under certain conditions, iPad may not automatically rejoin a known WiFi network after restart or waking from sleep. This can occur with some third-party WiFi routers that are dual-band capable when:

1. Using the same network name for each network
2. Using different security settings for each network”

Apple came out with a solution to the problem. In official words , this is as follows :

“If you encounter this issue, try the following:

Create separate WiFi network names to identify each band. This can be done easily by appending one or more characters to the current network name.

Example: Add a G to the 802.11b/g network name and an N to the 802.11n network name.

Ensure that both networks use the same security type (WEP, WPA, WPA2, and so on).

If the issue persists, reset your network settings using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.”

According to the company , this should in most probability solve the problem, but if the problem persists you might want to check out Apple Support Forums for latest development on the issue.
