Wi-Fi problems

[markwebb]

Guys have you checked out the long threads in these forums concerning wifi problems?

The chances that you have a defective machine are fairly remote. 90% of wifi problems are down to router settings and interference/poor reception.
Lots of good advice has been given in those threads so sit down and have a good read.

I sincerely doubt it based upon the number of issues with these Ipads and the infamous Iphone 4. EVERYTHING (laptops, Droids, Macs, etc) I throw at my router connects...except for this Ipad.

I am VERY tired of hearing "it is your router." Apple does make faulty products.

I relocated my router and i am still experiencing problems, although last night it seemed to be working fine. I have subscribed to netflix which is very cool, uncool if wifi is dropping out.

As a soon to be new owner - are there recommendations on the type of "router" to purchase? Brand name and model would be helpful. I have just one computer located in the basement office and want to use the iPad on the main floor.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I reset the device to it's original settings and now it is working much better.

Didn't work for me. I did a full factory reset and re-installed software 3.2.2.

same old wifi issues.

Hopefully OS 4 will cover this but it may not be fixed until second gen. next year.

no internet, must be your problem not apples..

All the apple lovers always say its your router/switch or whatever. Clearly not always the case.
I have one ipad connecting fine to wifi and internet, yet other one right next to it connects to wifi (with ip 169.#.#.#, which clearly shows its only acquiruing it sown ip address) and no internet.
Both ipads have been reset and such, only one works. Geez if I hit 50% in the major leagues Id be super rich!
Yup must be my router....
Not trying to bash, just sick of the cop-outs and excuses.
