I just got my mini and I'm loving it, but I'm not loving the super slow wifi connection.

I'm pulling like 6 megs down off a 25 meg connection. I consistently get 25-26 on my iPad 2, my iMac, and my air... So it doesn't really seem like anything weird on the modem/airport end of things. I've reset all network connections and even done a clean backup install. Still no luck. I've even changed the DNS settings to no avail.

Anyone else noticing really slow speeds on their new mini?
Any thoughts?

You bought a defective iPad mini?
 
Are you testing all of these with Speedtest.net and sitting in the same spot when you test them?
 
Slow wifi on mini ipad solution

Hey man I had the exact same problem (super slow Internet on my ipad mini) I then updated it to 6.0.1 and now if works fine, hope that helps.

I did update to the latest version. I'm at a total loss here. The ones in the apple store were screaming fast. This thing is painfully slow.
 
You might try rebooting your modem and then your router. I thought mine was a little slow too but after testing the wifi on my ipad 3, I saw it was slow as well. Rebooted everything and its all good now.
 
Ok. Fixed. Lol. I feel like a dork. I should have thought of that, but I never have any problems with the airport so I almost forget it's over there.

Thanks.
