Does your iPad have WiFi signal effectiveness issues?online surveys
Today isn’t a goodness solar day for Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s iPad PR team. As we said before, the iPad is a first-propagation device. As such, it’s bound to have some problems that motive some fixing. One of those problems has to do with the way the tablet charges through USB ports – take our poll parrot on that issue here. The other problem currently plaguing iPad users today is the WiFi receipt on the device. Apple’s support forums are weft fasting with users reporting that they’re acquiring weak wireless local area network sign, or that they’re receipt is fluctuating between the weak and strong piece other devices ar exhibit consistent sign strength.
The issuance may be related to the iPad’s placement of its wireless local area network wireless. The hardware feeler is located directly underneath the Apple logotype, which adorns the brushed aluminium backside of the lozenge. The antenna locating seems odd. It’s mounted in a localisation that we have to presume volition usually be obscured by a lap, a desk, a bed, or even a hand – any of which could resultant role in weaker wireless local area network receipt.
It’s possible the reports ar exaggerated, but it’s also possible that there’s a real number problem with the iPad. A result volition likely require more than a simple software localisation, but that would mean a massive iPad recall. We hope the problem can be resolved with a simple microcode update from Apple.
That said, we haven’t seen any WiFi issues with our own iPads. Are you experiencing any sign effectiveness strangeness on yours? Take our poll!
[Update] It seems we do have iPad wireless local area network issues here at IntoMobile HQ. Two of our iPads are showing sign fluctuations and repeatedly drops the connection. “They better find a way to localisation it,” says one miffed iPad users on the IntoMobile team.
[Update2] There whitethorn be a correlational statistics between non-Apple wireless local area network networks and weak iPad WiFi signals. Our Time Capsule is pushing wireless bits with strong sign to our iPads. The iPads connected to our Linksys wireless router ar sightedness sign fluctuations and dropped connections.
