I have noticed only have 1 bar at times while sitting 6' from my router. However, I have 4 bars this morning. However, it seems to operate just fine either way. I have not noticed an lag time. Sounds like a software issue, so I am not overly worried about it at this time.

Let's see - 3 million sold in the first weekend.

'Dozens' of people having problems. And if you look carefully, half of the 63 total posts seem to be from the same person (it_caveman).

Please let us know when there's a real problem rather than a few isolated incidents.

Here we go again. I'm going to complain about the retina display causing me to be sleepy all the time because I stay up late playing with my iPad. If I fall asleep driving, I'm gonna file a class action lawsuit. Apple is evil!

I'm waiting for the 'screen is too shiny' next ....

WiFi on this one is faster than my old, peaking at 20Mbps down and 2Mbps up, while my old iPad2 got around 18Mbps down and 1.8 Mbps up.

Getting 26Mbps down on LTE and 29Mbps up. The only thing slower on LTE than my broadband connection is the ping times, which average about 60 MS as opposed to 12 MS on my broadband connection.

I've been nothing but impressed with this hardware.

I have to wonder if the WiFi issues are something simple like a loose WiFi antenna connector.

I actually found my WiFi on the 3rd gen far superior to my iPad 1

Guys,
I have never had a Ipad b4 , planning to Get the New Ipad when it arrives in my country ...
Must i leave this new Ipad ?
May be ppl who have already purchased this know better

No problems here. I however have noticed that my WiFi signal icon fluctuates from two bars to three bars roughly 20 feet from my router -- my iPhone 4S stays three bars throughout the house.

But I haven't had any connection problems so I don't give a fuq.

update (march 24,2012). after watching the youtube of "lcd monitor teardown" (very interesting) the electrodes are not copper but indium-tin-oxide... not sure if the indium-tin-oxide reflection radio waves... so most likely my theory is wrong, but ... oh well... not knowning how something is built can lead to ignorance..

i think part of the problem might be that the screen acts like a copper mesh, thus shielding the back of the iPad from the wifi signal... so LOL your holding it wrong LOL...
seriously, since the screen is so dense, each sub-pixel has to have a circuit trace going to it, that makes it a copper mesh...
might be able to prove my theory by placing an ipod touch playing an internet radio station in between two new iPads... (if the screens are like copper meshes, then the stream should stop play after the buffer is empty.

Wifigate...
