[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1640486, member: 234411"] OK - so you know their SSID and their Wi-Fi security password and you do occasionally get onto their network so MAC filtering is likely not activated or you would not be able to get on at all unless the MAC address of your iPad is in their MAC table (BTW, your Wi-Fi MAC address is in Settings -> General -> About). Your download speed is really poor - just did the test on my MBPro (in the den; router in next room) - see below; I typically get about 20 Mbps DL - we actually have a thread on this topic - others get MUCH higher speeds - I'm throttled by my Time-Warner connection - curious, what speeds you may get @ home or at a Wi-Fi hotspot - might provide some help. You can try 'Forget the Network'. Also, have you upgraded to the latest iOS, now 8.1.3 - there were some issues w/ Wi-Fi. Plus, if not already done, try a 'Reset' on the device - i.e. hold the ON-OFF & HOME buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, release both and let the iPad reboot. Dave :) .
