Apple Offers Tips on Fixing iPad Wi-Fi


By most estimates, Apple enjoyed a strong weekend of sales for its new iPad tablet. But some users have raised a red flag on the closely watched mobile device — complaining about problematic Wi-Fi connections.


In forums and blogs across the Web, iPad users have said they experience persistently dropped or weak Wi-Fi connections — although others have reported having no problems at all.


Now Apple is taking steps to address the issue, placing some of the blame on third-party wireless Internet routers. Will it be enough to satisfy its critics? Wi-Fi Planet has the story.

Apple’s own Discussion forum topic “weak wifi” was flooded with complaints by users who said they’ve had mixed results maintaining Wi-Fi connection.
