[X4U] wifi on iPad problem

[Allan Rube]

I am starting to think the problem is with my isp - Fairpoint. Early 
this morning I had a good connection on my iPad so I used speedtest and 
had results almost as good as on my Mac. A few hours later I was having 
horrible connections on my iPad but doing speedtest on my Mac, it was 
pretty bad too.

So, I am thinking that when the isp gives me problems the iPad is 
affected more. Still, the issue seems to be one I need to talk to 
Fairpoint about.

Thanks. I am set for now.

Location is everything with wireless and it matters more or less depending on the wireless device installed in your equipment. Some work better than others and some work better with different combinations of equipment.
