JBR, I thought Apple products had their own security built in?
Will it accept other antivirus software?
I also doubt this is an internet issue. It’s more likely a problem with your iPad imho.
I’m guessing it is losing the wireless signal from your router and in the absence of that it goes to find the next internet source it can find. That might be your mobile phone for example if you have a smart phone that can act as a WiFi hotspot.
Does this happen at the same time every night because that’s when you go to bed and move to another room that is a distance from the router?
If so, try staying in the same room as the router at the tim eyou normally lose your connection.
Sorry Angel. I wasn’t aware you are using Crapple, and I don’t know whether it has its own antivirus or would accept other antivirus software.
I have never used Crapple products. They’re unreasonably expensive and try to monopolise the market by not working with other companies’ products.
Surely you don’t go to bed at 2145 every night, Angel? 
realist, I don’t have a wifi hotspot on my mobile phone.
When the internet went off each night at the same time was when l had the old router. I haven’t noticed if it goes off at 9.45 since, as l haven’t looked out for it. It was noticed more when my daughter was watching something on Netflix.
Me go to bed at 9.45? That’s a joke… more like 1am every night!
My iPad is working ok and the internet router is in a room next to the room l use the most.
Omah, said, upthread that the router has to settle in and l think it must be, as the green lights haven’t been darting about as much.
Ha! JBR, l love my Crapple! 
No l don’t go to bed at 9.45, l go at about 1am. I don’t lie in the next morning, l have my hens who are waiting to be fed and their coops cleaned out!
Have you got a ‘Screen Time’ setting on your iPad? If so, is it turned on? (Needs to be Off).
Both my Apple Macintosh computers, one a MacBook Pro and the other a 27" iMac will run Windows 10 software if I wish them to as they are dual platform, but I don’t. In the past, on an HP laptop running Vista, there were so many problems with upgrades that I gave up with it. The hard drive had become so full of files to do with upgrades that it took 30 minutes just to boot up each time! 
Hi, Angel.
I usually go to bed at around 1am, but I do lie in the next morning. I have my goldfish to feed, but they can wait. They’re very easy going.
Not so the cats, though, but Marge is usually up first to feed them!
Ah, but that’s Vista! The most rubbish and most detested version of Windows ever!
Yes, I once had Vista too. I couldn’t wait to get rid of it.
Personally, I found Windows 7 the best and easiest to use, though Windows 10 isn’t too bad either… now that they’ve stopped trying to take over our computers with compulsory updates.
I don’t doubt that as I have heard all about the problems myself. The laptop with Vista installed was so cheap that initially it was a better buy than the cost of installing Windows on the iMac which I was using for my business of graphic design. Receiving many different file types from companies and members of the public always proved a real nightmare so I just used it for opening those files. Those were then used / converted to recognised and accepted file types for use in printing and publishing. People would send me Word files when I had asked for printing industry standard files such as .rtf files (Rich Text Format) for text and Publisher files which they had used to create their own advertisements, these should have been supplied as .pdf files (Portable Document Format) but my requests for those were invariably ignored.
In those days graphic design and printing was mostly done on Macs, I have known nothing else really so have never gone in for Windows. When I read of the problems being experienced with updates I am just pleased I keep to Macs and have done since the 1980s.
It’s entirely normal for lights to flicker at all times.
Out of interest what Talk Talk package are you on? Is it at all possible that your daughter is whizzing through data usage on Netflix and similar streaming products?
Do you have the Mega Boost Package or a lesser package iwth 40GB usage?
I’m with Zen - my router lights rarely flicker …
Maybe, but not to go out and come back on again.
I don’t know what package it is? It is for broadband only and it costs £25 a month.
My daughter watched a series on Netflix for about one week, an hour each night. It would go off at 9.45, three quarters way through. That was it.
No l don’t think l have a Mega Boost package as my ex partner pays for it and we aren’t in contact.
This new router gives 4g. The previous one gave less.
I also know that this area is at the end at the telephone exchange.
I am with TalkTalk and it doesn’t happen with mine. Perhaps as another poster suggested, you need a new router.
Hello cuphalffull please see my post here,
thank you
Maybe you’ve set the controls on it Art so that you have to talk to me when I’m at work 
More like, give you earache! Ha!
Cuppy, They brought me a new router this week. I think it’s ok…
Welcome to the forum.
That rang a bell!
I remembered that TalkTalk used to use BT local telephone exchanges to get their signals out there.
So I just googled to see if they still do.
This is the Google reply
" TalkTalk use the local BT telephone exchange and line from the exchange to your house. So far so good. But in the last year or so TalkTalk have been installing their own equipment in the BT exchanges. This new equipment is not compatible with pulse dialling. BT lines to the best of my knowledge are at present unaffected.
Now, if I was the suspicious type ( 
) I’d be worrying about the bit where they are doing some big installing.
If they’re doing big changes, I wonder what time they would clock in to start working?
I doubt that they would ever tell you!
