IPad Air in the 32 gig WiFi model and the WiFi is very lame.

My iPad Air is troublingly slow on my WiFi.  If I'm lucky I get 7 down out of a possible 12 and sometimes only 1 or 2.  My iPhone 5 works very fast in the exact same places in my apt.  I've tried re-booting the router and changing the DNS but it hasn't helped.  Any suggestions out there?  Thank you!

Hi Nick,
I had a look about the net, but could only find a very rudimentary manual for the Router you indicated. I'm not even sure that Router does transmit a 5 Ghz wifi network. Couldn't seem to see much else to help you in the settings for the wifi that I could see in any screen shots. Perhaps you need to call their tech support and confirm that feature is available with that device. Also, I'm unsure that renaming that 5 Ghz network is the definitive answer. That said, have you tested your wireless at another location to confirm that your router is the issue?
Good luck,
Craig

    Can I purchase an IPad Air in the USA and use it in Canada to process credit card sales?

    It will work in Canada, but if you purchase a WiFi+Cellular model I'm not sure that the warranty would be honored in Canada. If you live it Canada, it would be better to purchase your iPad there.

  • How do I print from my iPad air to the officejet 6700 premium

    Printing from my IPad air to the office jet 6700 premium

    Hi,
    The most straight forwad way to print from your ipad is to make sure that both devices and the printer are connected to the same wifi network. Once this is complete, you'll be able to print from within the apple software using the print option (this is done using apple's inbuilt airprint technology).
    Alternatively, with the same wifi connections, you could download the HP eprint app and print from within the app. Once everything is connected to the same network, you'll see your printer from within the app and be able to print to it.

  • TS1741 I have loaded my music library ti iTunes on my home PC. How can I access my music on my iPad air, both on my home wifi network and any other when I am travelling? Thanks.

    How can I access my iTunes music library using my iPad air, both in my home wifi environment and away from home? Music loaded onto iTunes on my home windows PC. Thanks

    Start iTunes on the computer and connect your iPad to your computer. Select your iPad in iTunes on your computer then select the Music tab in the main window. You can choose to sync all music to your iPad or select only those playlists you want on the iPad. When you click on .sync or Apply the selected music will be copied to your iPad.
    You can sun photos this way also.

  • Charging an iPad Air in the US via a plug adapter

    Hello everyone,
    I have a question about charging my European-bought iPad Air in the US.
    I am using the original iPad Cable and a socket adapter from SKROOS to charge my iPad and I've noticed that it takes much longer to charge the device compared to Europe. To illustrate I left it completely discharge and then plugged it in in airplane mode and after 4 hours the battery is only 50% full. I do not have another cable to try charging it with, but I've tried two different sockets (at home and at work) and in both cases it takes longer than usual. Hence, I was wondering if taking longer to charge is normal given that I'm using a socket adapter.
    Any advice on how to improve the battery charging? Would it be OK if I bought a US charger from Apple? From what I understand my EU-device should hadle the voltage?!
    Great many thanks!
    Robert

    All Apple chargers work from 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz power. All you will need is a plug adapter for the country you are in.
    See the various plug configurations for different countries at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4341
    Using US power vs European power shouldn't make a difference.
    Try this first -  Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Is it safe to take my iPad Air through the airport scanners

    IIs it safe to take my iPad Air through the airport scanners

    I wouldn't think that airport scanners would be a problem for your iPad. You may find more in the "More Like This" posts below.
    By the way, you posted your question in a section intended for discussions on Apple's AirPort Wi-Fi gear.

  • ITunes could not connect to the iPad "Micah's iPad Air" because the device timed out.

    After using my ipad air for the last week, I plugged it in for the first time to back up some videos. I get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPad “Micah's iPad Air” because the device timed out. Any ideas?

    Eject your iPad if you haven't already done so. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Reboot your iPad and then try again, use another USB port on your computer, of you have another free port available,
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My iPad Air has the latest software update, since that the location services are not working! What to do? Even my friend's iPod has the same problem. Our version is iOS 7.1.2. I think that the services have stopped working since iOS 7.0.4.

    My iPad Air has the latest software version(iOS 7.1.2) update, since that update the location services have stopped working. have a solution?

    I have had the same problem, so many apps do not work properly without it! Apple says the internet satellite, the Internet satellite says Apple, back and forth with the blame instead of fixing the problem. Have turned location on and off, reset everything multiple times ( lots of hours and bandwidth to download ), Siri is now working part time, I guess she has cut back her hours for the summer. Even in these forums was suggested to check with Skyhook who does the global positioning, and after hours with them, they ended up saying that they have nothing to do with it anymore, Apple does. All to no avail and much frustration! I wonder if this is happening with the iPhone's? i'd like to know if this is happening with others that do not use satellite as their ISP? That would help narrow down the argument with Apple vs. satellite. Fell for you! Someone please help us! Ta

    iPad Air. The new case.
    Where does the leather comes from ?
    What is the origin ?

    Cowhide,  I would imagine. Were it anything else (exotic) it would surely be advertised/marketed as such.

  • HT1766 How to send videos from ipad air to the cloud to free up storage space on ipad

    How do I send videos from ipad air to the cloud to free up storage space on ipad?

    I had a similar/same problem - when I deleted the video locally, it did not appear as a Cloud video.
    To solve this, I deleted it locally, signed out of iCloud, powered of the iPad, powered back on, opened videos (empty), signed back into iCloud.
    Now all my videos are present in the cloud, and none locally.
    Not a great UX though
