You might recall, that one of the unresolved issues with the new iPad 3 is connected with its Wi-Fi capabilities, from which some users are complaining. While we’re still waiting for Apple to come out with an official statement on the subject, the hardware expert Aaron Vronko, CEO of Rapid Repair, has stated that in his opinion, the problem might be solvable with a software update.

According to the symptoms, which have been reported by users, the problem isn’t a hardware one, because if that was the case, the issues with the tablet’s Wi-Fi capabilities would be much more general. We’re really hoping, that he turns out to be right, because a software update would be the simplest decision for all of the users out there, who are experiencing problems with their new device. B. A.
I had the same problem with my new iPad 3, the wifi range was really poor. The worst part was no matter where I looked, I always found the same step by step guide to reset the network configuration, which worked only for the older models that could not recognize your home network at all. Finally I had the luck to land on a review of a case from Pong Research. They produce this really interesting cases that have an antennae in between layers of the back cover, which redirects and boost the wifi signals into/from the antennae built-in the iPad, this fixes the new iPad 3 poor wifi range.
