wifi antenna location new iPad (3rd gen)

Where is the location of the wifi antenna on the new iPad? While downloading a podcast, i was holding it right next to my router and it was taking extremely long. I switched how I was holding it many times but it still took a long time. Eventually, i decided to put in on a table and use my computer until the podcast had downloaded. So I am just wondering where i should avoid holding the iPad so it can access wifi better.

iPad, iOS 5.0.1

Hi, the Wi-Fi antenna is above the speaker assembly (right of the home button when the iPad is held vertically). It runs from there to the bottom left portion of the logic board (when held vertically). Just passing on the info.

Try restarting your router and modem by unplugging them for 30 seconds then plug them back in.
