APPLE - you have not fixed the WiFi issues

Question

OK, I admit that wifi has improved, bit it's not fixed. WiFi still stalls on loading pages.
Yes it's faster, yes it is more reliable, but after a while, it does still stall. The same fix as before is anwork around, but it's not over yet. Not by a longshot.
My current work around is to forget the network and re-join it. I'm down to twice a day now, not every five minutes, but seeing as my laptop can connect for over a week with out re-booting, this is definitely an Ipad issue.
Come on apple, get your thumb back into the sunlight and fix it once and for all.

Answer 1

I think a distinction between a router dropping connection a an iPAD that cannot maintain connection needs to be drawn.
I have now taken 2 iPADS 3g back with exactly the same problem as in it cannot maintain a connection to the router from a distance of less than 20ft.
I have six different items connected to my router, they are a printer, a nokia phone, 2 laptops, 1 Netbook and for a shortime an iPAD as well as my home pc
NONE of the aforementioned items save for the iPAD have had connection problems to my 14 month old router.
I can connect to my router with the laptops and netbook from my back garden without any problem, the printer remains in the same place which is quite close to the router, the Nokia phone connects anywhere I choose to connect.
The Ipad can connect to my network 20ft from the router but cannot maintain a connection with it dropping out every couple of minutes and when it is connected it is very slow in loading pages. The netbook and the laptops and nokia from the same location report a good signal and upload/download times are fine...
I have changed channels on the router, I've reset and updated the Ipad and rememberd to mess with the brightness but still I cannot maintain a connection.
My router shows that it has been connected to broadband continuously for 5 weeks except when recently rebooting it as per the notion that it would help the iPAD reconnect.
Simply put the iPAD does not perform, it is wholly unreliable where it's wi-fi is concerned and I do not think the latest patch was anything more than a tickle of the signal indicator etc....
Neither do I think that routers should be reset with it changed from wep to wpa as suggested by others. My usual pc is an iMAC5, it has no connection problems, it talks to my router without any problems as do all my other items. There is nothing radical in the hardward used in an iPAD that requires a new router or even for an established router to be reset.
