When a thread has over 100,000 views I would say that there is a problem. And that is not even the issue I am having! Over the past couple of weeks, I have logged in and seen many MANY threads about the the WiFi and not connecting, some with view counts approaching that same number.
The number of times a thread has been viewed has nothing to say about the frequency of a problem or even the reality of a problem. Threads are viewed by those who are simply curious or by those who think that they might be able to help. WiFi can be a tricky area, if you gave the specific details of exactly what problem you are having and exactly what equipment you are using, then someone might be able to offer a
useful suggestion.
Apple has a STICKY at the top of this group about this issue -- unfortunately their suggestions do not work, for me and many others.
The sticky at the top of this forum isn't from Apple but it does point to some Apple trouble shooting guides. These mainly talk about generic problems with WiFi that could occur with any device.
I didn't take it back before because this is the first time in many years that an Apple product seems to have a serious flaw. I figured they would put out a software patch to 'fix' it. I had faith in them, in other words. Since they haven't put out a patch or even said one is coming, I now think maybe it
is a hardware thing, and if that is the case then I would think it would be in the news.
You don't seem to consider the chance that there could simply be a H/W problem with just your iPad (it happens). The approach you should follow now would be to ask for a replacement. If that new replacement iPad also doesn't work do NOT immediately jump to the conclusion that all iPads are defective but, rather, conclude that maybe there is something wrong in your environment that is causing the problem. It's nice to have confidence in Apple but, if something doesn't work, take action to get it corrected.
