iPad's weak Wi-Fi signal strength

Apple has admitted that iPad isn't very good at Wi-Fi, and suggests that customers having problems move nearer to their hotspot to get a signal.

Most iPad owners seem happy with the device's Wi-Fi performance, but signal strength is a problem, as is reconnecting to networks which have the same name but operate on a different frequency. Apple suggests renaming frequency-divergent networks and checking that the router has power for those who can't get a signal at all.

If that's your problem then Apple recommends renaming the networks, thus allowing the iPad to remember which is which. For users having other problems the advice is to check the router is switched on and consider moving closer to it.
