As far as the WI-FI connection is concerned, we have a lot of choices. When we are in range or in a hot spot of a wireless network, iPad will automatically join in, or ask you if you want to join in to a speedier connection than a 3G system can offer. However, if you are not in a range of such network, the iPad maintains its links to the Internet with 3G incorporated chip.
But if you use a cellular network, like AT&T (the second largest provider of mobile telephony service in the United States) you'll see the signal bars in the upper-right screen, that indicates you how standing or strong is the connection. Nevertheless, the connection may be lost from time to time. It depends on the location in which you are. An icon will appear in the top left corner or on the screen and show you on what type of network you are:
- Wi-Fi- is probably the fastest wireless network and can vary from an individual one to a shared access in coffee shops, hotels or public squares.
- 3G. Ii is available in most urban areas and it's the second fastest wireless connection. Monthly, for this service you have to pay a certain sum
- EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM (or Global) Evolution) is slower than 3G but if you wait enough, it can handle most data transfers.
- GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). It is the slowest wireless connection but allowed data exchanges between mobiles for years.
On a small note, we would like to tell you that the differences between the Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi 3G plus are just a few. The 3G model has a Cellular data base settings and a micro SIM slot card that allows a better reception for its cellular antenna. Other difference would be the price: for 130$ you can get a 3G model with a potential free data every month.
In conclusion, your signal may drop when you are on a wireless network. But a bit of data is better than nothing at all.
