While doing some research for clients that are still having iPad WiFi issues I ran across this great example of what happens to seemingly intelligent people whenever they deal with Apple products. It’s exactly why I hate Apple iDiots and the iDevices. Take look at this article related to even more issues with wireless and the iPad.
Here is the article: http://www.wlanbook.com/ipad-wifi-issues-fix/
This was written by someone that appears to be fairly intelligent, but alas their IQ seems to drop suddenly whenever the iProduct is in their hands.
Note that he indicates that like all the other iPad users he was also having WiFi issues with his iPad. How does he fix it? By essentially downgrading his entire WiFi network to accommodate the limitations of the iPad. He turns off dual radio mode and anything to do with 802.11a. Problem fixed!! Fuck everyone else, the iPad works!!!
In the next section he briefly examines antenna placement (BTW, for those of you not familiar with wireless antenna placement, orientation, etc., is crucial to a good wireless connection). He then has the astounding revelation…and I quote “I’m pretty sure Apple wouldn’t release a product that would be impacted by how it [the antenna] is positioned like some blogs suggested.”
I almost can’t write….I’m caught between laughing so hard I can’t breathe and the sheer horror at the thought of Apple might have put out a product that wasn’t perfect!! I suppose the death grip on the iPhone 4 is also the fault of the user and that standard physics cannot possibly apply to Apple products.
