Answer 1

Before resetting try restarting.  Or you can go to Settings from the home screen > Wi-Fi > your network and scroll down to 'Renew Lease' and press that.  When you do you should see a button labeled 'Renew Lease?' and another labeled 'Cancel'.  Select 'Renew Lease'.
You can either back out of that screen back to the home screen or just use the return button to go back to the home screen.  Then select Safari and see if you can hook in.
I have to go through that process every five or ten minutes or so when in the second story of our house - weak router signal up there.
