Why can't I get signal for Ipad 50 feet away in upstairs

I have a new airport extreme wireless router.  signal is just ok in next about 30 feet awy almost line of sight.  Cannot get wifi in upstair bedroom about 50 feet away.  How can I make signal better or stronger. 

Hi bcircus,
Below is the setup guide for your Airport Extreme
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/airport_extreme_5th_gen_setup.pdf
The article below outlines the optimal wireless settings:

If your signal is weak in another part of your home, you may need to extend the network with an Airport Express:
Extend an existing Wi-Fi network’s range.
If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express — and near the area where you want your wireless connection. Launch the easy-to-use AirPort Utility app on your iOS device or Mac, and you’re mere minutes away from long-range Wi-Fi enjoyment.
Cheers,
Judy

    Some more information other than why would help. Does your service provider allow cellular data on your plan? Do you have cellular data turned on? Are you in a area with cellular coverage?

  • Why can't I get refunded for a song I accidentally downloaded twice?

    I just got an iphone today, and I am starting to learn how to use it.
    I was downloading some songs, and I realized I downloaded a song twice.
    I go on the itunes website, and I see that all sales are final!
    Is there any way I can get refunded for that one song?
    I know it is not much, but something inside of me doesn't feel right.
    If not, then please state a logical reason as to why.

    Try this link:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2788282?start=0&tstart=0
    Report it using the iTunes Customer Service web page.
    In the "Specific Request" menu, choose "I accidentally bought..." and explain the situation in the box below that.

  • Why can't I get iCloud Sign In to go away?

    How do I get iCloud Sign In to go away.  I type in Apple Id over and over and it does not recognize.  It also won't let me connect to the Internet.  I tried resetting all settings and I have rebooted.  What else can I do?

  • Why can't I get Outlook for Mac connected to Network?

    I have a friend who recently bought a MacBook Pro after having a pc forever. She had Apple migrate all her data over to the MacBook Pro. We then installed Office for Mac 2011. Her preference was/is to use Outlook for her emal. This only became known to me after I got her email set up and working in Mail. I then proceeded to set up Outlook with the exact same settings that I successfully used for Mail, i.e., incoming and outdgoing servers, ports, SSL, authentication (name and password), etc. There was a brief time when it was up and running, but inexplicably, this is no longer the case. The error message I get continues to point to authentication and her ISP's denial of services. Has anyone else had this problem? I've heard Microsoft's Outlook can be finicky.Any help would be appreciated.

    I guess I was hoping that I might find other Mac users who have Office for Mac 2011, encountered the same issue, and had something to offer by way of a solution.
    But I will also take your suggestion and post on the forum link you provided.
    Thanks, btw, for the link.

  • Why can't I get this for iPhone, you don't do much for iphones

    Unfortunately Apple does not allow Firefox onto the iPhone. While there may be something in the future, right now there isn't a Firefox for iOS. [[Will Firefox work on my mobile device?]]

  • Why can't I get swiftkey for my iphone 4s?

    I love my phone but not so much the keyboard.
    I would really love to use swiftkey but it seems that Apple doesn't allow 3rd party keyboards?
    Is this true?
    Is it likely to change?
    Any alternatives or advice very welcome.

    You are correct, it is not available for the iPhone. You can make suggestions to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. This is their feedback page for users to make suggestions.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

  • I bought the photoshop touch app for my phone. Why can't I get it on my iPad also?

    I bought the photoshop touch app for my phone. Why can't I get it on my iPad also?

    There are two different versions of PS Touch that, even though they are similar in function, serve different form factors. One is for tablet (landscape orientation) and one is for phone (portrait).
    I guess one could argue why Adobe didn't make it so that orientation didn't matter and would adjust accordingly (a la SketchBook Pro) but you'd have to ask the developers that.

  • Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

    Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac.  I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

    I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
    This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

  • Why can't I get text on my iPad? Roommate has iPhone and iPad like myself gets text both places. The only difference seems to be her phone number is listed before her email address. Can't get it to add my number.

    Why can't I get text on my iPad?  My roommate has a iphone and iPad like myself and she gets text. Only difference is her cell number is listed before her email address. My cell number is no there and won't let me add it.

    I assume that you mean that you do have an iPhone because messages will not work with any other type of cell phone. You should be able to add your phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at, if your phone number is lited in there, select it and then uncheck your email address and then the iPad will be using the phone number just like the iPhone.
    If you phone number is not listed in there, you probably have to sign out/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start over again on the phone - and then your phone number should be accessible to use on the iPad.

  • Why can i not get my ipad to recognize my wireless printer but my apple desktop works with it

    Why can I not get my ipad2 to print from my my wireless printer that i use for my apple desktop

    It's also possible that your wireless printer will work with a minor OS tweak if you're on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.x. Your Mac system must be on for printing to occur. (I haven't tested with Leopard 10.5.x or Lion 10.7.x)
    Details are found in this Apple Support Communities thread begun in November 2010
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
    I've been using it to print to a Canon MP560 wireless printer and an HP LaserJet 1320 USB-to-Mac printer from my wife's iPad 2 since the first day she received it for both photos and documents.  Duplex printing to the Canon does not seem to be supported.
