Not even a full week after its much anticipated release in the US Apple have been bombarded with complaints regarding its revolutionary iPad. Hundreds of iPad owners this week are claiming that they cannot connect to the internet properly on their device, a problem that would render it almost useless.
Forums and message boards have popped up all over the internet discussing the problem with users complaining that they will always lose Wi-Fi signal whenever they move a short distance away from their router. With Apple claiming that the iPad has a powerful wireless network adapter built in this is not good news.
The company have made some fairly obvious suggestions at fixing the problem on their support pages, advising users to perhaps move closer to the Wi-Fi hot spot which sort of defeats the object of the whole ‘wireless internet’ experience. Unbelievably they have also suggested that users ensure that their router is on and providing a wireless signal which would surely be the first thing that even the less tech savvy user would do.
The problem has not occurred with all iPad’s however, just an unlucky few hundred that appear to have faulty devices. It is more then likely a software issue rather then a problem with the hardware itself.
Apple will not want this problem to persist and will hopefully have it sorted before they release the iPad worldwide so expect a software update
