Hey guys, was wondering if anyone knows a fix for this and if they are experiencing the same issue.

I've got 2 ipad2s in the house. One with ios5.something and the other with ios6.01 and recently both ipads are having issues conencting to my home wifi network.

It'll connect for a couple of mins and d/c and have problems reconnecting for afew minutes. This still happens even though the ipad is right next to my tp link router (TL-WR1043ND with unifi 20mb)

Only started maybe 3 weeks ago. I googled the problem and read that with IOS6 release the ipads2-3 (maybe 4) all have some new protocol authentication with apple servers and certain routers will have issues (ivp6 needed)
and it sounds too technical for me to understand what exactly the new protocol is.

My other IOS devices - iphone4 and 2 ipods seems to be ok also all my pc.laptops, galaxy tab are all ok.

What ive done so far - reset my ipad connection, change router to pure g and n, switch wireless channel to 6,11,4 and it still cant seem to solve it at all.

Anyone with any fixes? i doubt going to applecare will solve it as it highly unlikely both ipads will simultaneously be affected and i've tried my ios6.01 ipad in the office and still same problem.

hey there.. i had some sort of problem with my wifi too recently.. i couldnt go certain pages.. fb was blocked.. but only on the ipad..the router works well with my iphone and other devices too so i was stumped. Anyhow i changed a router.. and everything starts working again. So i suggest u try the same.. if u wanna test it out just bring the ipad 2 to another hotspot and try the internet connection.. if it doesnt drop, i think most probably u need to change your wireless router (provided u did all necessary thing u can like reset modem, change config, update ipad, on off wifi, clear cache on ipad, forget network on ipad..)
