He is always complaining about poor performance, and it is only tonight I have noticed the difference. I had put it down to his bed room being further from the router, but tonight I happened to have both iPads in same place and noticed the different signal indicators. My ipad was showing three networks all at three bars, his was showing the three networks off and on, and mostly with 2 bars for each, occasionally his would hit 3 bars.... I am wondering if he has damaged the internal antenna?
Chrissy,
Is there any difference in speed or performance? like your sons is slower when on the internet. It can be normal even for devices in the same area to show different signal strength.
First try to reset network settings, go to Settings>General >Reset> Reset Network Settings. Rejoin the wireless network once your iPad reboots.
Already tried that, made no difference...
Probably different chip set.
Try the following:
1. Change channel on router e.g. Channel 1, 6 or 11
2. Change wireless security i.e. WEP/WPA/WPA2
Ok will try that tomorrow, but will that mean my ipad might go the other way? Thanks for all your help, much appreciated, will report back tomorrow, (nearly midnight here in Caribbean)
Good Nite 🙂
