Found this on another forum........

Looks like iT LAD knows his stuff when you read thru it Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing (wait for it)

According to a recently posted Apple support document, Apple plans to release a software update to address WiFi connectivity issues on the iPad that some users are experiencing. The document, which was first brought to our attention by the folks at Mac Rumors, is actually one of two troubleshooting articles on the subject, the latter of which offers much more basic solutions.

The problems users are having with WiFi involve weak signals, forgotten passwords, and issues with DHCP leases. If you are experiencing consistent problems, Apple offers a number of potential fixes that range from the obvious to the truly bizarre. Among the possible solutions listed are updating your router’s firmware, using WPA or WPA2 instead of WEP encryption, renewing the iPad’s IP address, toggling WiFi off and on, or increasing your screen brightness.

Though we aren't sure why adjusting screen brightness would have any effect on the iPad's WiFi connection, anything is worth a shot. If the brightness trick doesn’t work, however, try scaring your iPad, have it drink a glass of water as fast as possible, or have the tablet hold its breath and count to 10.

Apple has yet to give an exact date as to when the update will be issued, but I wouldn’t hold my breath, even if I was looking to cure my WiFi connection issues.

I had a very similar sounding problem on my son's iTouch - solved by resetting the iTouch network settings (which cleared out the network settings, reset some stuff) - it has worked for weeks now without a hitch whereas previously it dropped the WiFi connection (Belkin N, WPA) and lost the network settings daily.

Also be careful about switching from WEP to WPA encryption since a lot of older b/g wireless stuff will not use WPA (or WPA2).

I'll have to stop reading this thread on my iPad, Mick you've jinxed mine it's just taken 2 hours to get it logged back into my wifi router because it forgot the password and then wouldnt log in even though I was putting in the correct one - just like a woman, wrong time of the month I suppose, then suddenly it's fine and logs straight into the router!
