Slow WiFi on the new iPad Air

Just bought the new iPad Air yesterday and I must say I am really disappointed over poor WiFi reception.
Using Speedtest I am comparing my old iPad 2 (iOS 7.0.3) with my new iPad Air (7.0.3) side by side.
In my bedroom, speed dropped from 27 Mbps to 5 Mbps down speed and from 9 Mbps to 2 Mbps up speed.
I was under the impression that MIMO was going to increase both reception and speed.
I have reset all network settings on the Air but to no avail. The WiFi still behaves poorly.
Any ideas? Anyone with the same problem?

You might look in the router config and check the Channel Bandwidth settings if available. I had issues with my iPad 4 before I changed my router from the default Auto to 20 MHz. Its worth a try. See the screen shot for an example from my ASUS router.

  • Will an iPad case fit the new iPad Air 2

    Will an iPad case fit the new iPad Air 2? I found a charging case for an iPad but it doesn't specifically say for iPad Air 2.

    No, it will be too large.

  • I just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

    just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

    A lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.

  • Can I use my 10W iPad 2 charger for the new iPad air?

    I need several chargers - work, home, travel. Therefore, can I use the 10W chargers from previous iPad models for the new iPad Air? I don't want to purchase 2/3 additional chargers when I purchase my new iPad. Also, can I use the 12W iPad air charger for my iPhone? I don't want to fry it so want to confirm beforehand.

    The new model will have the 12W charger, so you should be able to use it with the new model - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327 :
    iPad models come with one of two different adapters. iPad (third generation) and earlier comes with a 10W adapter while iPad (4th generation) comes with a 12W adapter. iPad mini comes with a 5W adapter.
    While these USB Power Adapters are designed for use with iPad or iPad mini, you can use them to charge all iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, and iPod models by connecting them with either the Lightning to USB cable or the 30-pin to USB cable.

  • Can the new iPad Air take panorama photos and/or slo-mo video?

    Can the new iPad Air take panorama photos and/or slo-mo video?
    The specs don't indicate that it can but the hardware seems capable.
    Thanks in advance.

    I find it silly that Apple wont let the camera app on the new ipad air take panorama pictures when 3rd party app do. Apple why make something as wonderfull as the new ipad air, then cripple it with a sub standerd camera app.
    My iPhone 4 that is over 3 years old has the same camera app.

  • How many music cd's will the new Ipad air hold in 16g, 32g and 64g?

    How many music cd's will the new Ipad air hold in 16g, 32g and 64g? Thanks much, Greg

    That is hard to say accuratetely. As it depends on the format and length of audio. If you know the average file size of the Audio files you wish to transfer you can easily calculate.
    Otherwise its like asking how many books fit in a 2 by 2 box  The answer will vary largely by type and size of book.
    For a base comparison normal mp3's at around 3 minutes in length take up about 1MB per minute. so you could probably fit 20,000 of those in a 64GB iPad. considering some space is taken up by apps and OS.
    Double the size for more quality, and you'll get about half. so only 10,000.
    But at the end it will depend on the format, and file size of the audio.

  • Is the new ipad air compatable  for syncing etc., with a mac book pro-snow leopard, OSX 10.6.8 ?

  • I had the first ipad now i have the new ipad air where the the picture frame app?

    i had the first ipad now i have the new ipad air where the the picture frame app?

    Apple iOS designers did away with the Picture Frame slide show app and the lock screen icon that used to activate it.
    If you are looking for a replacement, look in the iOS App Store app and search for Picmatic.
    This is a pretty good replacement for that function.

  • Does anyone know of a suitable dock for the new iPad Air?

    After purchasing a new iPad Air on Friday, I searched for a charging/syncing dock from Apple.  There are none!  Then, I searched the Internet for 3 days, and the choices are few. 
    Does anyone know of a good and sturdy dock for the new iPad Air?  I have very little desk space and always buy an Apple dock for my iPhones and iPads.
    Is it possible that the dock for the iPad 4 could be used for the new iPad Air?  Currently, I have an iPad Third Generation and its own dock, which is 30 pins.  The available 8 pin adapter is not sturdy enough to put an iPad Air on.
    For my iPhone 5, I have a Twelve South High Rise dock (because of the case), but it won't do for an iPad. 
    Any ideas?

    This isn't going to be super helpful because I don't know of any by name, but have you looked through App Store? I am almost positive you will come across at least one in there. This assumes you are running software version 2.0.

  • Does the new ipad Air support 802.11 AC?

    I really wanted this to be a feature on the new iPad Air as I wanted to upgrade my router. I see that it supports MIMO.  Not sure if that is the same as 802.11 AC

    Based on the published specs, doesn't look like it: http://www.apple.com/ipad-air/specs/

  • Does the new iPad air 2 get hotter than the previous iPads?

    I Have noticed that the new iPad Air 2 seems to be warmer than my 4th. Generation ipad. It is not so hot that I can't hold it, but I definitely notice a difference from the air 2 & the 4th. Generation iPad.
    Thanks for any feed back.

    Hi The iPad Air is very slim I retuned mine for a refund viberates on speaker battery not lasting And yes it did get warmer and it's a bit flimsy. Got iPad Air 1 now 32G £359.00 now was £479.00 No problems. Cheers Brian

  • What is the correct charger for the new iPad Air 2?

    Our new iPad Air 2 came with a 10Watt charger. Went to the apple store to get a spare. The Apple folk insist the 12 watt unit is what it needs  - sold my will two. Just trying to figure out which is correct for a new Model= 'MGKL2LL/A' iPad Air 2.
    Thanks

    Either will work. Many people say they received a 10W with their iPad, but it will charge just fine with a 12W. Previous models were shipped with 12W chargers, so no one really knows why the 10W was put in with the Air 2.
    I would guess the Air 2 got a 10 Watt Charger, because the battery in the Air 2 is a bit smaller than the battery in the Air.
