After the Apple iPad was launched on April 3, the first problem that popped up was its WiFi Connectivity, adding a barrier to its huge success. Therefore Apple resolved the problem by advising iPad users to create separate Wi-Fi network names for each band and to keep security settings consistent.
Connecting the iPad to a Wi-Fi network was the second most popular topic among Apple users’ discussion. The “Under certain conditions, iPad may not automatically rejoin a known Wi-Fi network after restart or waking from sleep,” Apple said in a post on its website. The company went on to said the connection problems could occur with some third-party Wi-Fi routers that are dual-band capable when using the same network name for each network or using different security settings. Hot topic was “getting started and using your iPad.” To fix the issue, Apple suggests creating separate WiFi network names for each band name. Like for example 802.11 b/g Pat and 802.11g Vinny. Also, Apple says to make sure that both networks are using the same type of network security. “If the issue persists, reset your network settings using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings,” Apple wrote on its support page, adding that users should make sure their WiFi router firmware is up to date.
Within hours of the launch, a discussion forum on the Apple support site began to fill with complaints of infrequent WiFi connectivity, with signal strength bars moving from high to low, though the device hadn’t moved. By April 8, nearly 400 comments had been added to the discussion. Therefore it seemed to be an urgent priority to be solved.
