Very poor wifi

Got this yoga tab 2 1050f for my wife for Christmas
Shes been having WiFi problems with it for awhile now so over the last couple weeks I've been using it
I run a speed check on it and its good but opening webpages is very slow over 10seconds a lot of the time not Evan opening at all just spinning you have to stop and refresh it ,now this is not all the time but a lot of it
And its worse on apps ie eBay facebook and can't trust paying for anything online as if the page stops loading she don't no if its paid
I've done a factory reset and its the same after I don't no what else todo I'm trying to find a email for tech support as they only open 9 till 6 when I'm in work so hoping someone can help please

There are several others with same wifi connection issues. I do not know if you guys have reformed your tablets or have just really with the problem, but you're not alone. I've been trying to get Lenovo's attention, but i think they still want to believe it's just a poor signal on our part.
Check out the link below to see what others are doing and have tried and I'm trying to coral a lot of people so they don't think it's just a single episode.

If you gave some information on what network equipment you are using (make, model, version) and where you are experiencing signal problems it would help in giving advice.

Macbook Pro 11,2 tests very poor WiFi performance compared to iPad

Configuration:
MBP 11,2 running 10.10.1
Airport Express 2014 vintage
WiFi Scanner.app speed test results on MBP range from 1 to 3 Mbps. My iPad Air (or iPad Mini) in the same physical position tests between 18 and 28 Mbps. WiFi Scanner.app shows SNR of 17 to 18 dbm.
The reason I am testing is because I have noticed network performance on the new MBP to be very poor in our current NZ location. In Palo Alto 2 weeks ago the MBP wifi seemed fine - I didn't bother to test.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hello .Sup,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot the Wi-Fi performance on your iPad please follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below. Also take a look at the recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers.

Very poor WiFi range issue

Hi guys, I recently switched from AT&T DSL to Comcast Blast. I am using a Netgear C3000 (the combo modem/router deal), it's in my office, centrally located in my long, single level home. When I run a speed test using ethernet from my office computer, it's very fast, up to 90 mbps. When I try a speed test with my WiFi from my office computer, it's also very good, 25-35 mbps. However, the wireless signal drops off pretty quickly as I go toward my living room. When I'm in my living room, I can't even get my phone/laptop/smart TV to acknowledge the wireless signal. When I was using AT&T DSL wireless, I got a signal in my living room. It was slower, but it worked.
I switched to Comcast expecting better speeds, and while I get that in my office, I can't get it anywhere else in the house. Thus far, this has not been an improvement. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks!Combo devices always leave much to be desired as far as wireless range and signal.... most users purchase thier own higher quality router and then "BRIDGE" the combo device.... Netgear R6300 & R7000 greatly increase the range and strength of a wireless signal when compared to the Combo devices... but your selection should be yours alone after doing the research...

K1: Very poor WiFi signal - tried nearly everything with WiFi Booster, DNS,...

Hi,
I have read a lot about bad signals and possibilities to fix (Channel, DNS,...) but nothing helps.
Every Wlan around me is very low only if I stay next to my router it´s ~ OK.
I also read a lot about bad hardware - should I have to change my K1?
I have a K1 with 3.2.1
Is it possible that it will get better with ICS?
Any hints, help?
Thx

I don't have a link now but there is information out there on opening / dissasembling the K1 where the wifi card is identified.

TS1398 My iPad 2 has suddenly developed a very poor wifi signal.

My iPhone 5 and other iPad 2 do not have this problem.
Any suggestions?

Try turning wifi off, then back on on the iPad.
In Settings>wifi.

Very poor WiFi reception

After updating the phone to 2.0, I noticed the wifi reception is much lower than when it was at 1.0. For God's sake my wifi router is only 10 feet away. It works great if I held the phone 2 feet from the router. Some times I won't even get the signal at all. What gives!!!???

My launch day iPhone 8GB had the same issue described here and in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1604944 . Yesterday, I took the phone to the Genius Bar, and they didn't feel the need to replace my hardware.
I performed the following steps and it seems to have remedied my problems:
First, I performed a sync in my normal account/iTunes to ensure I had a backup of my iPhone. Then I made a Zip archive of the entire folder of my iPhone back on my computer at ~/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and copied that archive elsewhere in my account. This ensured that if anything went wrong, I could restore the contents of these backup folders.
Next, I created a new account on my computer and logged into it. Next, I launched iTunes in the new account. Then I connected the iPhone and chose to perform a Restore. I declined to make a backup. Once the restore of the iPhone was complete and the iPhone was Activated on the mobile network, I disconnected it. In the iPhone's Settings app, I went to Wi-Fi and where I had seen 0-1 networks before, I saw a range of 2-5 networks. (Still not the 16 or so networks in my area, but more than before trying this experiment.) I walked throughout and around the outer perimeter of my house and continued to find new networks.
At that point, I had more functional Wi-Fi, but none of my settings or content. I logged out from the new account and back into my usual account and launched iTunes. From there, I could have performed a sync and gotten my content placed back on my iPhone. But without a restore, I would have lost my Notes, Wi-Fi passwords, SMS messages, Call History, etc. Still, this may be what others may choose to do and move forward.
As a further experiment, I decided to do another Restore from within my account, and again declined to perform a Backup. This time, though, after the iPhone finished the restore and reboot, I allowed iTunes to restore my backup from earlier in the day (this decision was made at the screen where one has the choice of making it a "new iPhone" or restoring from a backup). Once this was completed, I elected not to sync my content. I repeated the same physical walk with the iPhone in Settings > Wi-Fi and continued to see a greater number of networks than I had seen before beginning the series of experiments.
With this apparent success, I performed a sync and let iTunes copy my content and applications back to the phone. When the sync was finally done, it appears that I now have a 2.0 updated original (launch day) iPhone that also has working Wi-Fi.
I'd love to see if anyone else might duplicate these steps and see if it remedies their problems as well.

Can anyone tell me or give me a link to the latest response from Apple regarding very real weak wifi signal on what seems to be a batch of both the new ipad and the earlier Ipad2. I have just bought a 2nd hand ipad2 and it has a very weak wifi signal

Over the last week or so I have been trawling the internet looking for references to weak wifi signals on the Ipad2 and was staggered by the sheer quantity of people who seem to have identical issues, not just with the ipad2 but also with the new ipad. What annoyed me most from reading the reams upon reams of comments made on the Apple community forum is the fairly large number of people who seemed to believe that 'these' people were either just moaners and wingers or else they must have something wrong with their router set-up rather than a serious fault with their ipad and it seems all because there ipad in question works like a dream.
Obviously I can only speak from my experience, and that is, I have an ipad2 32GB with wifi, purchased about 6 months ago and it works like dream with a good 2-3 bar wifi signal through 2 thick stone walls over 30 feet away. My router is a standard one supplied by my broadband supplier compatible with all 'g','b' and 'n' equipment. However, over a week ago now I bought second hand genuine ipad2 16GB with wifi from a close friend who has just purchased a new ipad3 to replace his old ipad2 (had it for over a year so no longer under warranty). When I started it up downstairs from my router, where I always use my other ipad2 which has a very strong wifi signal, I discovered that the new secondhand ipad2 I had purchased couldnt find a network signal at all. So after doing network resets and all other 'fixes' on the device recommended, I took it upstairs to my office where the router is based and found that the device could now locate the network, but the signal was lost over only 12 feet from the router!
I quizzed my good friend about this issue and he informed me that it has always been like this since he first purchased it and he never thought that it was a fault, it was just the way it was. When he first aquired the device he did think at the time that this distance was poor, but thought nothing of it as he didnt have any other ipad to measur ethe signal strength against, and as his router was in his living room anyway he nothing of it. Fair enough.
So, there we have it. One ipad2 with a very good wifi signal and another ipad2 with a very poor wifi signal running off the same router, both with the same IOS 5.0. ?
As well as all of the other isues that customers have picked up on, such as 'death grip' (which I must say does appear to happen, but personally i dont think that this is a serious issue if you are aware of this issue and have a strong signal anyway), my experience seems to be a good example of a 'duff' wifi ipad versus a 'great' wifi ipad', an issue confirmed by complaints from a fairly large number of customers who have also reported the same or similar weak wifi signals with both the ipad2 and the ipad3. So, as this shows the weak wifi signal is a very real issue it seems on a batch of ipad2 and 3's, which to my logic is obviously a hardware issue on a batch of early ipad2's and not a software one, otherwise all ipad's would suffer this problem! So, is it a faulty antenna or a faukty network card in an early batch?
So, the bottom line now is, of course, firstly, how can I get Apple to fix my other ipad2 when the warranty has run out? Any suggestions anyone?
Personally I think good Apple customer service should offer a recall with a replacement on this apparent batch of ipads, dont you?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Poor wifi signal

My New Macbook air has very poor wifi signal, I have to sit within feet of my router to have a usable connection, I cannot even use it in the next room.
Does anybody else have this problem, and would purchasing a antenna booster or signal repeater do the job?

Here are some troubleshooting suggestions:

Poor Wifi Reception All Of A Sudden

My Samsung Galaxy Nexus has recently started to have very poor wifi reception in places it used to get very good wifi reception. I know for a fact it isn't my modem/router because we have multiple laptops in the house, other phones, and an Xbox connected to the internet and they all receive the same great signal they used to. I have read a lot of other forums about the Jelly Bean update having something to do with it on many other phones. I have had the Jelly Bean update for many months now and this problem has just started occurring, I am fortunate enough to have 4G where i live but i don't like using it all the time. If there is a fix i would like to know it asap! i need wifi on my phone!

took the offending ipad2 to the retail store...they restored to factory and then saw what we did: crummy reception, right inside the Apple store. They then gave us a new one to replace the offending bad unit.
at least they are still a leader in customer support. My suspicion is that an antenna died.

Extremely poor wifi reception

Hi,
I have a brand new EliteBook 8470p with a Broadcom wifi card. I have a very, very poor wifi reception. Only if I am 2 or 3 meters from the wifi hub, in open view will I receive correctly the wifi. The transfer rate drops dramaticaly if I go further away. I opened the service cover to have a look at the wifi card. There are two wires connected for the antenna, labelled 1 and 2. There are 3 other wires in standby, labelled main (red label), aux (blue label) and MMO or MMD (yellow label), can't read clearly.
Is there any chance that the antenna has been incorrectly connected. I can't believe a commercial product would have such a miserable reception capability ...
Please help
Oliver

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
I hope this helps.

Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ Poor WiFi Signal Strengh

I recently bought a Yoga Tablet 10 HD+. I love the product but it has very poor WIFI reception strength throughout my house. I have 2 other name brand tablets that have no issues with WIFI signal in my house at all. Is there a fix for this or updated software? It is really annoying and might be the reason that I return this tablet. Thank you.

That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

Wifi Antenna on Iphone is very poor.

My iphone wifi antenna is very poor, and i think it may be damaged . When i first got my device, i had the usual range of wifi, but one day i realised i could not get wifi from the normal range and i had to be close to the box to get it. Does anybody know what is wrong ? This is very frustrating as i cannot pick up most wifis and my device cannot pick them up.

Contact apple and arrange an in warranty repair or an out of warranty repair where you would have to pay if there is indeed something wrong with the phone. Have you tried restoring the phone?
