iPad/iPhone on iOS 5 - images don't always load in Safari, just on my network

Solution 1:

Tough one. Definitely need to see more troubleshooting. Some places to start:

  • Find an image that the iPads are having difficulty loading, then open just that image in a separate page in Safari. Any problem loading and reloading the image on a page by itself?
  • How many WiFi devices are being served by one base station? At some point it gets overloaded with sheer volume of requests, even if the data transfer is small.

  • Is the WiFi base station doing NAT, possibly leading to a double-NAT setup that will clog the local network with failed connections? You would still be able to browse the web, but overall network performance would suffer.
