    Hi all,
    my ipad 2 constantly drops its connection to wifi in my house... it claims that its failing to connect to server. I have no problems with my iphone or macbook pro. The ipad is Jailbroken if this makes a difference. Im connecting through a cisco UPC router. any ideas would be welcomed as its a pain in the ass.
    Thanks

    Settings/general/reset/reset network settings.

    NOTE : This will clear any wifi connections currently stored.

    Reconnect to your wifi once done and post back.

    Same happens to me. ipad 2 will randomly (Sometimes a few times in a night, other times it will be stable for weeks) get "no response from server" even though the wireless is still connected. If you go to your settings, you will see that the router is giving the ipad bad IP addresses (This can take a while to update).

    In the end I bought a remote control plug adaptor so i can reset my router from bed. Nothing i have tried to solve this works apart from resetting the router and i sure as hell ain't getting out of bed.
