My iPad disconnects everyone else on the router when in use. It actually kicks off everyone else that is using the same router connection periodically.

Yes. Not that my iPad gets disconnected, it actually might be causing everyone else to disconnect from the router, including itself.
Whenever I connect my router to this wifi at work or home at periodic intervals it actually causes everyone, including wifi and 'hard-line' users to receive no connection to the local network and internet.
When the iPad stops connecting to the wifi, the problem stops for the duration it stays off, Tested it at durations of no iPad connection of 4 hours with no problems. And when connected it causes everyone on the network to drop (for all users) every 5-15 minutes.
Why does ithis happen and how do I make it stop?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
