Ever since I bought my iPad and signed up for Verzion Fios internet my iPad’s wifi connection has been dropping on every use. If you have the ActionTec WiFi router which Verizon typically provides you with, you may find my instructions below helpful:

1. Go to http://192.168.1.1
2. Username should be ‘admin’ and password should be ‘password1″ (don’t worry about the extra characters the text box automatically adds. It’s an encryption feature.)

3. Click on ‘Wireless Settings’ on the top navigation menu

4. Click ‘Basic Security Settings’ from the left navigation menu

5. Switch the Channel to 6 (or one of the standard Channels 1 or 11)

6. Click Apply at the bottom of the page

7. Click ‘Advanced Security Settings’ from the left navigation menu

8. Select WPA2 security (the default is WEP , which is weaker)

9. Set up your pre-shared key on the screen presented (this is your network password)

10. Click apply

No more dropped connections after following these steps!
