). I think it was $137 in the end, much better than the AE for $200. I use WPA, n-only, 5GHz and a static IP. Wifi signal strength still isn't great on the iPad vs. other devices/Macs, but I'm happy for the time being. Ultimately, if it is an energy conservation issue, expect battery life to suffer if said fix is upcoming. Then there will be another issue for people to gripe about. If you remember, battery life was one of the foremost impressive features for most users at launch, and I think Apple wanted it to be too!

No, seriously. We all know it's the iPad's fault. Everyone point at the iPad. Say, "Shame on you, iPad. You're to blame!" But if it's infantile, rest assured, you're probably going backward. (Now make me laugh, monkeys! ) havent had a "connecting..." yet
Doesn't matter if people try to help or not. Whiners gonna whine.
I had wifi issues and was waiting on apple to bring out a fix but since simply moving my router about a meter i now have nice strong wifi signals again
No ****! Do a search for ipad and wifi. See how many times this has been said. Check out the discussions on the apple site too. Nothing new, buddy. You're not adding anything to the conversation. It's definitely not the router's "fault", but that doesn't mean that some routers won't work better with the iPad than others. This whole "I can't change routers while I'm at various wifi hotspots" argument is getting ridiculous. It's old news and we all know it (okay, maybe not all of us do). But you're still just whining and ignoring the fact that it's just a recommendation for, yes, your HOME wifi. Of course your iPad should work at various wifi spots, on various setups, various routers, blah blah blah. Like I said, old news. Fine, it's false advertisement. If that makes you feel good, go with it. But guess what, you're not being solution oriented. So actually DO something. (pssst....that means return it, file for a class action law suit, so on and so forth)
But for god's sake, don't reiterate the same lines we hear over and over again. Nobody's making you live with the wifi issues. You choose to. So, give me a break. Change your router/settings, don't change your router/settings...nobody cares. People like myself are trying to offer you "workarounds"...notice I keep emphasizing "workarounds". It's not a fix, DUH! Hold Apple accountable or do your best to improve your situation. But if you just come back everytime someone tries to help you and say, "Well, uh...I shouldn't have to change my router" you're only stating the obvious. And it makes people not want to help you at all. Get it?
*exhale* I should learn....
Because that is the nature of forums. Wouldn't we all be bored if we couldn't rehash all the same arguments three or four times a day?
Well nothing I wrote was in response to you, it was in response to the boneheads who come into threads like this and say ridiculous things like, "there is nothing wrong with the iPads, the problem is the routers." Indeed, the very reason helpful people (like YOU) need to come into these threads is precisely because there are problems with the iPad. So actually people like you, and people like me, agree 100%. It's the folks who are still trying to deny there are any problems at all with the iPad WiFi capability (on the iPad's part) who are the ones that both of us are essentially arguing against.
Just like it doesn't matter if 80,000 people are all reporting the same problem, there will be people who--because they don't have that problem themselves--will deny that a problem exists.
