Ipad 3 wifi connection slow
Hello,
I notices on my ipad 3 IOS 6.0, that the wifi connection is slower than on my imac and acer laptop.
Videos on you tube are slow to download even if video quality parameter are set to medium (360).
It becomes a real pain if I want to see a video in HD 720 from youtube, I takes agees to play.
Don't even tlak about 1080 HD videos !!!
So is Ipad wifi connection slower than my cheap Acer Laptop ?
How can I fix that annoying issue ?

IPad ~ WiFi Connection Slow as Death Itself
Title says it all...
My iPad is sitting on my desk; the wifi router is directly underneath it.
I try to load pages and it just hangs and hangs; the blue progress bar creeps across the screen.
Any ideas?
tyvmAt your convenience, goto the app store and download speedtest. This will give you some hard numbers about your connection. There are a lot of cogs in the process, and you need to try and figure out where the glitch is.
If your connection is slow, try a different router channel, or flip g and n and see it it works better. Take your pad to a different wifi spot and see if the speed is better there. Is your isp playing eith their throttle?
Lastly, sometimes the app store gets real busy, and things just slow down. For comparison, on a good clean wifi signsl, my pad measures out between 15 and 20 mpbs. On a weekday evening, during prime time, using my calble provider, i max out around 2 mbps. Sometimes less. -

Cheers, Tom -
I was using the iPad one day and then all of a sudden it stopped connecting to the internet. The network at this hotel is very good and I've asked them about their router so it is not the router's problem.
I go to the Settings and tap on Wi-Fi then I tap on the hotel network. After a few seconds, it says the network name beside the Wi-Fi tab and it gives me the WiFi symbol showing 3 bars. But then I never get the checkmark or tick saying everything is connected. I try going online and it says the iPad is not connected to the internet. I've tried an iPhone and it connected and got a checkmark in a few seconds. I've talked to the front desk and he took out his phone and showed me that he could connect, he even opened a page without any problems at all.
I've been trying to find a solution for this for a long time. I've been searching Google over and over again. I turned Airplane Mode on for 1 minute, I've tried Resetting my Network settings, I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting again, I've tried removing all restrictions from the iPad, I've rebooted the iPad A LOT, etc.
So this is my problem for people who don't want to read the whole message:
1. I can't connect to the internet with the iPad
2. It shows the WiFi symbol saying its connected but I never get the checkmark or tick.
3. It's not the router problem.
4. I've tried other networks and it doesn't work. It just keeps on showing that loading circle right beside the network name.
5. Do any of you know what this problem is? Or do you have a solution?
Thank you for reading this and have a great daySince you are in a hotel, some of these are not applicable.

So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
Thanks in advance.Jeremy.Laurin,
have you tried agb76’s approach here? -
Are there any known issues with iPad wifi connections to Comcast routers
I consistently get the "unable to join network " error when trying to connect to my Comcast all in one router. My other laptops and smartphones connect without issue. I'm using 32GB iPad2 with wi-fi + 3G. Coincidentally I switched to comast at the same time I did the 5.1.1 update. Prior to the switch i had a fios router and 5.0 OS version. I've tried resetting the network info on the iPad and I've reset the router as well. I can see the network just cant connect to it.

IPad mini wifi connection slow
I just got an iPad mini, and i have noticed that the wifi connection is so slow. I have many other devices, and the wifi on them is great. I've updated to ios 6.0.2 but it hasn't helped. Is anyone else experiencing this? Can it be fixed? Thanks

So disappointed with IOS 6. I'm having weak wifi connection since upgrading to it. Can Apple do something about it? Can you at least reset it to IOS 5.1.1?
Sorry Jim for the wrong question because I'm getting frustated with my IPAD since I can't use it for surfing internet with a faster speed. Ipad was very convenient to use until this IOS 6 upgrade. Tried all the suggestions in the forums but still gets back to weak wifi connection.

I just spent 15 minutes holding and 20 or more minutes on the phone speaking to incompetent tech help people two days in a row. They asked the same questions and went through the same useless steps trying to get my iPad's wifi to work. Nothing worked and neither tech even remotely understood that it was a Verizon problem not an iPad problem (connected fine to 3 outside networks). Finally I just hung up and reset my router to factory specs. Miracle! that worked! Needless to say that I am totally underwhelmed by Verizon's tech help.

Thanks for your input but WPA2 worked (barely) with my MB air, the connection was iffy. It did NOT however work with my iPad 2 and THREE Verizon techs could not fix it. So, until someone comes up with a solution for that I will stay with factory settings.
Maybe it would be worthwhile bringing your iPad to the genius bar to see if an Apple tech might have a clue what the problem is.
For whatever it is or isn't worth, I have an Actiontec Rev I router set to WPA2. All our devices connect with no problem, including an iPad2, MacBook Pro with Mavericks, an iPhone 5 and a 5s and a couple of Windows 7 machines. Frequent guests' devices also connect with no problem. -
My apple new apple ipad wifi connectivity is poor
hi presently iam using latest ipad. i observed its wifi connectivity is poor. when try to connect ipad via wifi it is taking lot of time some times not getting coneect if the signal is poor, while my laptop, my phone and my ipod were connecting very fast. is their any solution.
If your router is dual-band, try ensuring that the SSID is different for the 5GHz band from the 2.4GHz one.
If sounds like your other devices which have no issue would all be 2.4GHz only.
If this is the case, try updating your router firmware - latest can firmware can make it easier for dual-band devices to connect firmly to the router without 'hunting' between signals of similar strength from the two bands from the same router. -
Wifi connection slow after streaming, Apple support couldn't help
I have since quite a while problems with my internet connection. I tried it in several countries, but always the same: As soon as I stream something or open to many browser tabs, my wifi-connection becomes terrible and stays terrible. It's definitly dependent on how I use the internet. If I open 3 youtube videos or the top10 Google search results, my wifi connection becomes bad. My Speed drops to lower than 1Mbit, but lots of timeouts. After a while it works again.
What I already tried:
-Reinstalling MacOS
-Installing windows (same problems with windows)
-Resetting SCM
-creating new wifi environments
-putting MTU to 1453
-clear DHCP
-deleting some files in the library for resetting connections
-clearing browser cache
-testing with Safari and Chrome
-disableing bluetooth
Now I bought a CSL Wlan Stick but there are not mac drivers out there and I don't have a CD-Drive for installing the drivers.
What can I do?The only possible way that you can restore the data is by restoring the iPad from a backup. Did you restore from a backup at the end of the restoring process?
Why was Apple support not able to help? Is the backup gone? -
My IPad wifi and Internet connection goes on and off. But when I being my IPad to other homes, it works. What's wrong?
Try this

Then rejoin the wifi.
If this does not work try this
Settings->WI-FI->The wifi name->Forget this Network
Then rejoin the wifi.
If this does not work try this
press the home button and lock until you see the apple logo.
I hope this works ;-) -

I checked my Airport Extreme stats to se what my new iPad is connecting at, I was very disappointed to se it connects at only 39Mbs. Even my gen1 iPod touch connects at 54MBs and my Macbook over 100Mbs. I verified my speed on a Time capsule with the same results.
What are others seeing?
JoeFor those that are seeing problems, did you make sure your FW is up to date on the AEBS?
If you have a Mac click Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility. You should see your base-station in there and there will be a button that says update firmware. Click that and make sure it's up to date, then report back.
I suspect that could be one potential reason if the iPad is not seeing any throughput issues only reporting the wrong number. What you are saying would suggest to me it's not the iPad HW, but potentially the SW of either the iPad or AEBS. But if I was a betting man, I'd say it's older FW on the airport, since the client will connect to whatever it's told to connect to. The AEBS would control what it should connect to.
