Additional things to try.


Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.


Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

This is rediculous.


I am a LONG time user of an iPad 1, 16GB with 3G, over a year of 10 hour/day use.


No issues with it whatsoever with switching from Wifi -> 3G.


I now have an iPad 3, 16GB with 3G and most of the time it won't switch from wifi to the mobile data without a forced reboot, which when sitting in a clients office is most frustrating.


This was seemless on the iPad 1.


I go through the hoops on the Apple site for support, and now I have an Apple support computer calling my office every 10 minutes to talk to me, but when I answer, the computer says it's from Apple and promptly hangs up.


So I'm supposed to give up half my day to drive to my nearest store, or put up with an inherantly faulty device all whilst wasting my time answer the phone to a computer that hangs up the call.

I tried all the fixes that I saw in the support groups and nothing seemed to work. AppleCare led me through some diagnostics and the problems persisted. They suggested taking the iPad to the Genius Bar and have them test the signal strength.. Could not connect to the Apple store wi-fi for 5 minutes. They gave me a new iPad.

Came home and noticed that the wi-fi signal was fading in and out. Yet my iphone4s showed a strong signal. After several days I noticed that the signal faded when I was holding the iPad on the bottom. It rarely fades when I'm holding it with the smart cover behind the iPad.

Sounds like the iPad has an antenna problem like the iPhone last year.

Got new iPad 3 two weeks ago. No problems accessing wifi network at home (iMac) until 2 days ago. Everything OK in the general settings...connects t to my home wifi network but wont connect to the internet. Turned off autobrightness yesterday, and bingo, it connected to internet. However, today, same problem and I can't connect to the internet. Come on Apple, get this fixed!
