Apple is readying iPad WiFi Connectivity Fix
We reported last month that some Apple (AAPL) iPads were having problems with DHCP leases when in standby mode, and other WiFi connectivity issues. These issues caused some Universities in the US to temporarily ban iPads, and even iPhones and iPods, from their networks.
Some enterprising hackers, and University network admins, detailed the issues and why they thought they were happening. (Details at the bottom of this article). But Apple did not acknowledge the issue at the time.
On a support document dated the 6th of May Apple has given details of how some problems may be diagnosed, or overcome: [support.apple.com] Apple also state in that document that there will be an upcoming fix to “address remaining Wi-Fi connectivity issues” for the “very small number of iPad users” who have experienced problems.
