After upgrading to 8.3 wifi not connecting

Hi,

I just upgrade my ipad2 to 8.3 and since than i need to be 5 feet near the router in order to connect. before that i was connected from a long distance.

I've tried reseting the settings and it happens at all wifi networks.

Is it possible to install earlier ios?

Thank you

It is not possible to downgrade iOS. Apple does not provide a path to do so. After resetting settings, if you are still experiencing problems, your next step is to restore the device from a backup, and if necessary restore as new. You can also power cycle your router. Remove power from it for approximately 30 seconds, then plug it back in. After it finishes restarting, attempt to connect. If you still experience problems with the Wi-Fi after that, you may need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the iPad examined for any hardware problems.
