Safari can't connect to server

CJ

Hi
My ipad which has been working perfectly started giving the safari can't connect to server on a few occasions over the past couple of days. It only happened on a search.
Last night it became a permanent fixture, no emails, internet anything that requires a server. Still the same today.
My laptop which I'm using to send this is unaffected and I've rebooted the router several times anyway.


Any suggestions would be much appreciated thanks

If you go into settings (first screen - grey icon) what does it show under Wi-Fi (second setting on the left) ?

CJ

The button is on green as usual and underneath is Netgear 1 and it's buffering to the left of Netgear

Either tell the iPad to 'forget this network', then reconnect to it, putting your network password in again, or reset the iPad. Hold down power and home keys for 5 secs or until you see Apple logo on screen

CJ

Thanks will try that


My OH had already reset the ipad and the other suggestion didn't work either I'm afraid

Also check how many apps you are running - you might be low on memory which could cause a problem with safari.

CJ

Thanks
I had already checked that and there is loads of memory.


We found another instruction online which has worked


as follows
switch airport mode on go to general reset reset network settings reconnect router, put in passwords and voila. I have to say if my OH could do it then it must have been simple as he usually leaves it all to me
Thanks for all your help everyone
