Question about
Hylaeus

I am having an issue where my ipad is on longer connecting to my home wireless network, we have only recently put in a sim card and started using the 3G…

capabilities, up until we did this is was connecting to the network fine and dandy. I have only noticed this issue recently as I thought we may as well save on the prepaid sim that we have got in there while at home, so I turned off the *cellular data* switch under settings, it brings up the little wireless network icon in the top left of the screen, under wireless settings it tells me that it is connected, but when I go to check email, twitter, surf the web, or do anything that require access to the internet I get a little dialog box pop up that tells me that it seems that I am not connected to the internet and to check my settings.
Any help would be appreciated

I have the latest iOS update, installed yesterday 11/04/11
I have other devices both apple and not that connect through the same wireless connection and are fine
I have mac filtering on, I have checked to make sure that the MAC Address is in there and correct
Security is set to WPA-PSK

I've had this occasionally happen with my iPad, where for whatever reason data stops working over WiFi, even though it shows it being connected. When it's happened I've just rebooted the iPad and that solves the problem.

You can also goto Settings - WiFi - select the network you connect to - Select the Blue Arrow - Select Forget Network. Then connect to the required network again.

This has worked for me in the past. But note that the security key that you may have entered before is gone and you need to enter it again (make sure you have access to it)
