I got issues with my Ipad wifi, it works fine when I'm near the router but when I'm walking around the house with it the wfi signal is very weak even not existing!!!
Do you now how to solve it?
The @#$ing thing cost me 600$ it better work!
According to Apple, the iPad might not automatically rejoin known WiFi networks using third-party routers that are dual-band capable (802.11 b/g and 802.11 n) when each band’s network uses the same name or use different security settings.
Apple’s recommendation? Try creating separate network names for each separate band’s network (ie: add a G to the end of the name of the 802.11 b/g band) and making sure both bands’ networks use the same security settings.
I'm assuming you excluded the issues desribed in other posts (with being connected to the wrong network) and you actually have a hardware issue. You can always take it to the apple store and demonstrate the problem there, you'll probably receive a replacement. If you have issues with the warranty, there are third party places that will find our what's wrong. If you want to do it yourself, the good news is, it's not too hard to open it. Here is an iPad Repair Guide that shows how to open an iPad. If you want somebody else to do it for you go to iPad Repair NYC.
The only thing i can think of is maybe the router? what brand are you using, how old is the router? what is the router model number? what security are you running on the router? also the band which was mentioned earlier. Post a little bit more information and i can give you some more suggestions.
Thanks

Hi There
Well I don't have the Ipad (yet) but what you are describing here seems like a problem with either the software (which a simple update by Apple will solve this) but if it's a hardware problem then I don't think you'll be able to solve it, in this case you'll have to use the 3g all the time (except the time you are next to the router).
in any case it seems to be a common complaint from the Ipad users

So I guess soon we will see a comment by Apple on the matter.

I have turned off my iPad after Facebook would not come on. That didn't solve the problem. I also checked my settings and everything seems to be fine there.
My i pad air is set up to access wifi at my home. I am at my daughters house and my ipad is picking up my daughters network. How do I get access to that network? There seems no obvious way to put in her access code.
