I don't understand why mine is so cruddy. Any suggestions?
TC dual band. Tried connecting to both the 2.4 and 5ghz. Cox Cable 30 down and 2 up.
Download speed: 2780.72 Kbps (2.72 Mbps / 347.59 KB/s)
Total test time: 29.46 Seconds
Connection type: WIFI

I plan to upgrade my Wi-fi (Verizon DSL) with the AirPort Extreme for faster wireless downloads. Is this a good idea? I would like to hear from people who have AirPort Extreme and their experience. It has got very good reviews in Apple forums, but would like to hear more from iPad owners. Thanks.
That server you are connected to seems to be located in Bulgaria. If so, where are you located and how did you select that server? The server selection in SpeedTest.Net seems to make a pretty big difference (I see variations of almost 2 to 1 between servers and similar variation minute-to-minute on the same server -- which means that any give test can vary rather widely but some servers seem to average much better results).I've got 30Mbps connection and the iPad seems fast![]()

Could you try a file transfer test using the free GoodReader Lite app? I've never seen WiFi file transfers over 20Mbps on my iPad so I'm somewhat surprised that you got almost 30Mbps from a server accessed over the internet. Of course, SpeedTest.Net is probably measuring an effective memory-to-memory transfer so that eliminates the file write overhead on the iPad.I'm located in sofia, bulgaria too.
I think this was the default server choosen
Yes, you are correct, that is one of Apple's suggestions if you have WiFi problems. In any case, I don't know if you were directing that comment to me (probably not, you just made a general suggestion) but I've already tried turning off the auto brightness and at least in my hands and on my iPad it seemed to make no difference. All of the results I've posted above had the auto brightness turned off.Try turning off the auto brightness off under settings. It is one of Apple's suggestions to help wi-fi stability. Turning off the auto brightness improved the max speed and fluctuating speeds on my iPad.

With the iPad Air, I am seeing 148-152Mbps from about 50 ft away.
I used the standard oolka speed test app (for iPhone). I had to try a few locations to find one (Optimum Online in NYC) that could do 150Mbps.What speed test/app did you use?
My speeds on 100mbps down and 100mbps up.
