Apple is planning to issue a software update to address Wi-Fi connectivity issues for iPads, according to a company document.
A recently updated support bulletin recommends possible solutions for iPad owners experiencing Wi-Fi problems, and it states that "Apple will also address remaining Wi-Fi connectivity issues with a future iPad software update."
Shortly after the iPad was released April 3, a number of customers groaned about the device's erratic Wi-Fi performance. In Apple's support forums, some complained that their iPad’s Wi-Fi signal was very weak, while others said they were unable to join their network after waking iPads up from standby. Apple acknowledged that Wi-Fi issues could be related to dual-band routers, but the updated version of the support document confirms that the iPad software is a factor and a fix is on the way.
Apple did not provide an estimate for when to expect the update, and the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
