I purchased an excellent new tweak from Cydia this week. WiFi Booster from Malcolm Hall ($1.99) removes the signal strength limit allowing you to see and connect to weak WiFi networks in your area from the iPad WiFi Settings. It also enhances the network view to include the MAC address of the access point [blurred out in my image] and the signal strength.
As you can see in the image below, I can now identify two weak networks which would normally be hidden without this tweak because they are outside of the iPad's original signal strength limit. Very handy since one happens to be an unsecured wireless router with an 8MB internet connection behind it
If you like your WiFi, look into this! It really works and has the f4780y seal of approval

F4780y seal of approval? How about the "Jailbreakers of iPF" seal?

I will let the iPad connect to wifi networks that are beyond apple's signal strength requirement. Do a simple test. Get a laptop, and see what networks you get. Go to iPad, you might pick up half, if you are lucky.

With my HPMini I don't get a very good wifi signal here at home. But on my iPad and my desktop I have lightening speed!
Why is that? So this app will fix that?

It won't fix your hp! It's an IPAD app not an hp app. Originally Posted by SweetPoison

It has nothing to do with speed, just range. Originally Posted by SweetPoison

Apple limits the iPad to only show networks that have a certain signal strength. This tweak removes that.
