Is the iPad 3 wifi range good

I am considering the purchase of an ipad. Can anybody tell me how good the wifi range is, in particular comparison to the ipod touch 2g which for me only works in some parts of my house, especially annoying since my router is as far from the bedroom as you can get. Does anyone ahve both devices and can make a comparison - is the chip in the ipad bigger and better?

Since I've bought one, I'll answer my own question for others, it isn't fab but it will suffice, make sure you have a decent n router

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I just bought the new HDMI cord for the IPad, it works good but a small potion of the TOP and the BOTTOM is cut off. It doesn't seem to do it for movies. My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series.

    I just bought the new HDMI cord for the IPad, it works good but a small potion of the TOP and the BOTTOM is cut off. It doesn't seem to do it for movies(although I can't really tell. My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series. I just installed the drivers for my monitor with no change. I think I have a CD somewhere for my monitor maybe it has some kind of program in there that can help me. I can post a picture if I need to. Thanks

    No work around that I know of.

  • What's the difference between the iPad wifi and iPad wifi   3g? Okay, so I'm planning to buy an iPad and would like to know more of the details. I know that ipad wifi   3g would offer me with internet usage anywhere and anytime.

    Welcome to the Support Communities. The differences are spelled out here:

    ...For example, note that the Wi-Fi + Cellular model has assisted GPS for more accurate pinpointing of your geographic location.

  • Will the SIM card work in the iPad WiFi/3G

    Has anyone tested to see if the SIM card will work in the iPad since there both MicroSIM?

    The information is not necessarily dangerous. You're just changing standard settings using the Apple provided interface of the iPad. Nothing dangerous in that.
    The same method can be used with other network providers around the world, many of whom might not put artificial usage restrictions in place purely for commercial reasons. In other more competitive mobile markets, swapping of SIMs between devices is commonplace and actively encouraged.
    The only reason this is not sanctioned by AT&T is because they would prefer you pay twice for the same thing. It's physically impossible to use one SIM card in two devices, so you can only be using the data you've already paid for 'once'.

  • Waiting for the IPAD WIFI+3G

    I want to buy an IPAD and move to another country, other countries have 3G service companies but not AT & T. 3G works with any other company other than AT & T?

    Sorry, but we are all just fellow users here and know no more than you do about when Apple may release the iPad mini in your country. You'll just have to wait for Apple to make an announcement.
    Regards.

  • Hi All! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but torn between wifi or wifi cellular. Can I use for sure, my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad if I get the ipad wifi only? And if yes, is the signal/connection good? Thank you.

    Hi all! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but I'm torn between wifi or wifi+cellular because of the price difference. Can I really use my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad? If yes, is the signal good and fast? Thank you for your response.

    Yes you can if:
    1: Your cellular provider offers a data tethering option.
    2: You have subscribed to this option.
    Speed will be as it is with your existing iPhone.

  • Converting the iPad WiFI to a WIFI and 3g unit

    do you know if Apple will be offering a conversion"kit" to add 3g to the WiFI iPads...my wife has decided she wants that capability also...

    I would strongly doubt that any conversion kit will ever be available. It's highly unlikely that it would be cost-effective for you or for Apple if it's even technically feasible. If your wife wants the 3G, sell her WiFi unit and buy her a new 3G unit. The WiFi iPad is likely to command a good price right now, so you shouldn't lose much of your purchase price if any at all.
    Regards.

  • Recommend a stylus for the iPad air, and good apps?

    To paraphrase from the late Steve Jobs, why don't you use the greatest stylus in the history of mankind. Your fingers.

  • IMessage won't switch to SMS when out of the data/wifi range

    my boyfriend has his imessage switched off sometimes, and when he is out of his home and has no wifi or data my messages still send as imessages and won't let me manually switch them to SMS so he never gets the messages. It says it delivers as an imessage even when he has imessage turned off so he never gets most of my messages but i can't turn my imessage off as i depend on it to talk to family out of the country. It all worked fine until i upgraded to iOS7 and since then it's been having this issue. Is there anyway to fix this?

    He shouldn't keep turning his iMessage off and on. He should leave it on, so that when you attempt to contact him, it will register if he is not in an active data setting. When his iMessage is constantly being turned off and on, it is just confusing the server, as if it was still on or off. His best bet is for him to leave it on. If he turns it off, your phone will not know he is out of an active data connection. This is the same problem people have when they leave iMessage active and get a different brand of phone. It appears the iMessages are being received, when the device doesn't get iMessages. Also, you cannot manually switch between the two for him because of the way the iMessage server works. You have the option right after the iMessage sends to hold down on the message bubble and select send as text, but that would require you to know that he isn't in a data connection. If he keeps his activated, the server will know if he is out of a data connection, and your iMessage should be sent correctly.

  • With the Ipad 3G do you have a monthly fee all the time or can you just buy the internet by the mopnth when you need it because I don't need 3g at home since I have WIFI but when I go camping is when I would need to purchase wifi.

    With the Ipad wifi 3g can you just purchase internet time as need by the month because I'm trying to avoid having another monthly fee, I only need 3g when we go camping which is like two weeks out of the year.

    With ATT, you can pay month by month.  They have a $15 (256 mb) and a $25 (2gb) per month fee.  You can activate and deactivate this service directly from you iPad.  Have fun!

  • Does the iPad mini/air wifi cellular version carry worldwide 1 year warranty?

    Does the iPad mini/air wifi cellular version carry worldwide 1 year warranty?

    My point is the iPads  wifi+cellular version is worldwide warranty? Why apple states below on web?
    IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
    Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.

  • Is there an App for the iPad that will show my GPS position on a world map, even if I'm at sea?

    Is there and App for the iPad that will show mu GPS position on a world map, even if I'm at sea?
    Thanks,

    There is no mobile data connection required to use GPS on land or sea. Once again your issue is the availability of downloadable maps/charts for the areas you will be traveling.
    Sorry, but you can't install an app like NAVIGON on an iPad without 3G cellular data connection:
    copied from NAVIGON app:
    ...can be installed on any iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPhone5 or iPad device (the navigation function is only available on the iPad WiFi+3G)
    Can I navigate with my mobile phone?
    Answer:In principle yes. For mobile phones there are both Onboardnavigation solutions and Offboardnavigation solutions.
    The following requirements must be fulfilled:
    •     The software must support the mobile phone. NAVIGON software
          always comes with a compatibility list. The software is guaranteed
          to work only for the mobile phones on this list.
    •     The mobile phone must have a GPS receiver. Many new mobile
           phones come with a built-in GPS receiver. Otherwise you can use
           an external GPS receiver which is connected to the mobile phone
           by cable or Bluetooth.
    •     It should be noted that an offboard solution incurs costs for using
          the mobile phone network to communicate with the provider's server.

  • Does syncing to iTunes automatically update the iPad 2?  Or is there another procedure to updating the iPad 2?

    Hi,
    I very recently bought an iPad 2 for my wife.  She tried to do some online shopping and couldn't get past the checkout screen.  Poor girl tried all day and was so frustrated when I came home.  I told her to use my PC laptop and she was done in minutes.  I went to the local Apple Store and their advice was to disconnect and reconnect the iPad WIFI connection.  And to update the iPad.  I sync'd to iTunes and couldn't figure out how to search for updates.  Does syncing automatically do the updating?
    Thanks

    No - to update the operating system (iOS) on the iPad connect it your computer's iTunes, and in iTunes select the Device on the left-hand side, and on the summary tab click 'Check for Updates'. The current version is 4.3.3 - you can tell which version your iPad has by looking at the Version field in Settings > General > About on the iPad (the bit in brackets is just the build number of the iOS release); the iPad's current iOS version is also shown on the summary tab mentioned above. If you do not currently have the most up-to-date version then the download is just under 600 meg, and therefore may take a while to download.
