IPad Wifi connection speed

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?
Joe

For 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.

  • IPad WiFi Connection Problems - WiFi Symbol Appears With Full Bars but I Don't Get A Checkmark?

    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 day

    Since you are in a hotel, some of these are not applicable.

  • 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.

  • TS1398 Still having problems with my ipad wifi connection since upgrading to IOS 6.  Can Apple do something about it the soonest possible time.  I don't have this kind of problem using IOS 5.1.1 Can you at least put back the 5.1.1 if you cant find a solut

    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.

  • IPad wifi connection help

    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.

    MSM wrote:
    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.

  • IPod and iPad Wifi download speed greatly diminished

    My iPad4 and IPod Touch 5 download speed is 500KB/s and upload speed is 8Mb/s, whereas my laptop's download speed is 20MB/s.  Any suggestions on how to increase my iOs devices WiFi download speed? I have tried changing DNS to the several suggested on the forum to to avail. I am using Speedtest on all three devices. I am on Comcast using their Arris TG862 Gateway.

    Jason,
    Thanks for the advise,however, no joy.
    I followed your instructions to the letter as if I was setting it up for the first time.
    My windows laptop, ipad and iPod all get great download and upload speeds when within 6-8 feet of router/modem.
    Upon moving all three outside of that range, like 10 feet down the hall, my laptop continues to perform but apple devices slow down to as low as 500kbs down but still have 7Mbs uploading. Prior the start of this situation 3 weeks ago,
    I could use my ipad to stream Netflix in the garage on the other side of the house with 3 walls and a metal fire door in between.
    I may be paranoid, but it seems like since the law regarding "throttling" passed, my Apple products are affected. When I use SpeedTest on my ipad, the download speed starts out at 10Mb/s then slows down to a crawl. It is like it is saying "Oh, and iOs device, let's slow it down."
    This as detailed as I can get.  Any further ideas?
    I do have a Netgear high speed router that was replaced with the combination device provided by Comcast.
    I have read about calling Comcast and requesting to be put into bridge mode. What do you think?
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • X120e WiFi Connection Speed - is 802.11n speed possible?

    Dear guru!
    Could you please tell me what should I do in order to get 802.11n connection speed on my new x120e? The better speed I get is 65Mbs. On T500 I get 300Mbs with the same WiFi access point (so it definitelly depends on notebokk but not the infrastructure).
    Thanks in advance,
    Vadim

    Check if your router has a Channel Width selection. Mine was defaulted on 20mhz, which yielded crap performance, after changing to 40mhz it works as good as it can on this 1x1 card and connects at 150mbps to the router where before it was 72mbps.

  • 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.

  • How do i get my Wifi connection speed back up after ios 5.0.1 on 3gs?

    It actually began after the ios 5.0 update but this one hhas not fixed it. I notice that many people have had this same problem but i would like to know how to sort it out without spending extra money as THIS IS NOT OUR FAULT!! It seems clear that it is the update unless odds longer than winning 5 countries lottery in a week have come in and this many iphones have lost wifi connectivity in a single day.... I think not. Anyway back to the point, is there anything i can do to rectify this? My wife has the same problem and yet again.... What a long shot.

    Hey iphoneboy16
    Create a Shared Photo Stream to get any missed photos that did not make it into the Photo Stream. Remember, when you turned on Photo Stream it will start to copy new photos taken at that point in time. It also only holds the pictures for 30 days and up to 1000 photos.

  • 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?
    tyvm

    At 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.

    WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
    Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
    The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
    If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.

  • Samsung TV wifi connection speed to HH3

    Having issues connecting to my NAS media content from my TV via the HHS - when i check in the HH home network connected divices it shows my TV as connected via wifi at 1mbps... all my other devices are hitting in excess of 60mbs to the hub. However when i open a browser on the TV itself and check on speedtest.net i get around 9mbps (although I get 30+mbps on ipad right next to TV)... Is there any settings in the HH itself to allocate bandwidth or improve the connection to the TV or is it more likely to be an issue at the TV's side? Not sure if it is just the HH and Samsung don;t like each other? The frustrating thing is it plays VoD/iplayer HD with no lag at all (I'm on infinity2) so I can;t see it being a bandwidth issue
    Anyone elese had issues with samsung TVs and the HH?
