Scores of iPad Users Complain Of Wifi Issues
Only about 24-hours after its launch, users are complaining about Wifi issues on the new Apple iPad. Most complaints center around the devices weak signal when compared to other wireless devices in the same area. If this sounds familiar to you, it is. When the Apple Macbook Air was released, many users had of these same issues. It doesnt look like a simple software patch will fix this issue either since the reception issue centers around the iPad hardware architecture.
Since the 3G model isn’t due until the end of April, iPadders are reliant upon Wi-Fi. Without the Internet, the tablet is basically useless. The culprit here is the Wi-Fi antenna, located behind the Apple logo on the back of the iPad. This sounds like a hardware issue. To strengthen the reception, Apple would have to physically dig into the iPad and replace the antenna. Add to this the fact that the receptor will more often than not be masked by a lap or table, thereby further hobbling the signal. A massive recall may be necessary if the problem persists.
