About 2 weeks ago I noticed my iPad 3 was having problems staying connected to my ASUS RT-U66N router. Every time I would pick up and use
my iPad I would see that it had changed to the 2.4 GHz band. This weekend I saw the same thing on my iPhone 5. When I would try to reconnect
to the router on the 5 GHz band I would receive an error saying something like unable to connect to the router. Also this weekend I noticed my iMac,
5 years old, was not connected to the 5 GHz band either.
I powered off the router. I updated the firmware and re-boot the router again and finally got all devices to connect to the router on the 5 GHz band.
I sent a trouble message to ASUS and they came back an said to try to connect a non- Apple device to the router. I'll try my Sony laptop tonight.
BUT I thought I would ask around to see if anyone else is having problems connecting or stay connected to a router on the 5 GHz band with any
Apple products. The iPad 3 is about 50' from the router and through several walls and floors. The iPhone is maybe 20' away and through several walls
and 1 floor and my iMac is about 6" away from the router.
I re-booted the 3 Apple devices and they finally were able to re-connect. Since my last re-boot of the router my iPad has stayed connected to the router
on the 5 GHz band. All of my apple devices are up to the latest firmware available and are not jail broken.
So anyone else having problems with their iPhone or iPad connecting a router on the 5 GHz band?
