[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1833533, member: 396914"] I came here because of your comment about it in the thread about memory. Could it be that the router is/was just slow in assigning an IP, the iPhone/iPad timed out and went self-assigned, but then tried again later and was successful? Do you have "auto-join" for networks turned on? (I think that is the No option on the "Ask to Join Networks" selection.) I am wondering if the router gets "busy" and doesn't assign IPs fast enough, then gets less busy and gets back to the iDevice fast enough. Not much you can do about that that I am aware of, but could be the issue. I can't explain the password change. [/QUOTE]
