The following is an excerpt of 2 user comments:
One commented that the 16GB version of iPad on my Wifi signal is also weak, even WLAN is standing in front of the router, the signal is weak when the strong. In fact the router signal is very strong, the other computer can receive a strong signal, even in the 20-30 meters as well.
Another commented that, in the room, my iPhone, iPod touch, two Macbook Pros notebook, Apple TV, and PS games are full of cell signals, but only 1-2 iPad format signal.
User guess Wifi antenna signal is weak due to problems, some people speculated may be a software problem. The latter fact seems to confirm speculation that the majority of the forum completely run Apple network users do not have the same problem.
Monday Apple Knowledge Base article published on the page, to discuss the issue. This article not only to make recommendations on the repair, also illustrates this problem very seriously Apple. The article said that support for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency band of third-party Wi-Fi router connection problems occur, the user's network settings for each band a different SSID, to ensure that each network uses the same security settings (WEP, WPA or WPA2 ).
Apple's proposed remedy
Apple said that, if you have connection HP pavilion zd8000 battery, in a more explicit explanation of Apple and rehabilitation measures, it may take the following remedial measures:
Router's firmware upgrade and a home network connection in the iPad before, to ensure that the latest version of firmware, so that fully functional router.
Replaced the router location is too close to look at the router device causing interference, because the microwave, cordless phones, wireless keyboard, and Bluetooth devices will interfere with W-Fi signal.
Determine the router's wireless standards currently most routers only support 802.11n, also supports a, b and g networks, set up your router the best network and other wireless devices also do the same change, iPad support 802.11n, so match as closely as possible the router.
Change the router's encryption settings generally safe and not a problem, but if you want to improve network performance, you may need to change security settings. Try to change the encryption settings, see if can improve connection. Apple also recommends that users across the network use the same security settings.
Apple to rename the network made this suggestion may seem strange, but can also try the next. Each band to create different Wi-Fi network name, for example, in 802.11b / g network name plus a G, the 802.11n network name plus a APPLE M7318 Battery .
