    Sagemcom Sky router?

    Ah, now maybe that explains it. First hit with Google for Sagemcom Sky...

    "We are aware that a small number of customers have been experiencing issues maintaining a stable wireless connection on ‘Sagemcom F@ST2304’ routers."
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Cheers guys but cant seem to find this setting in my Sagemcom Sky router?
    Don't worry about your router settings. It's as relevant to the problem as the settings on your dishwasher, I promise you.

    The iPad is not being disconnected from wifi.
    The iPad is not being disconnected from the internet.
    The iPad is running out of memory (memory rather than storage).
    So Safari crashes.
    There is nothing wrong with the iPad - or at least, there is nothing wrong with the iPad Air that isn't also wrong with all iPad Airs.

    Steps to minimise this problem:
    - close all apps that are open. To do this, double-click the home button on your iPad, then swipe up on all apps that are open that you aren't in the middle of using.
    - close any tabs you have open in Safari you don't need.

    Whatever you do, some websites will crash Safari, even if you only have one tab open. There is nothing you can do about this.

    This problem is reportedly fixed in iOS 7.1, which has a rumoured eta of March.

    You will also notice tabs refreshing in Safari - often when you click on another tab, then click back to the original, it will refresh rather than having been held in memory. This problem is also reportedly fixed in iOS 7.1.

    Basically the screen has too many pixels for the amount of memory, and the current version of iOS 7 copes with this in a very poor way.
  • Mine does this too, certain websites cause Safari to close down. The Guy at the Apple Genius bar confirmed it is due to low memory and showed me how to close apps etc.
