Having experienced the "connections" problems myself and then have them "go away" when apple replaced my unit, there is little doubt that with all the problems out there, there are in fact many defective iPads that were sold

The wifi issue must be rare or for some units only more mine never had that problem
Whether on open or secured networks
Home or public networks..here in Manila
More power to the iPad ita revolutionary...so portable

I turned off brightness autosensing - I haven't had a problem since. Before that, the iPad had trouble reconnecting to my wi-fi router.

I have done a small (10+) user survey of people who, like me, have Verizon FIOS running the ActionTec router. Mine happens to be about 3 yrs old. I have a pretty much constantly recurring problem with dropping the lease. Having finally gotten so used to it, I now have placed my WEP pw in a note, copied it, and when the lease needs to renew, I paste it into the message box.

The Apple Store in Temecula, CA also reports that they have noticed the problem in particular with the Verizon/FIOS/ActionTec setup.

I resorted to calling Apple for help, after doing absolutely every ridiculous thing the internet pointed out that could be done to waste my time.

Apple cust support said that as a final resort I could restore the iPad, which took most of the night to do. If it didn't work, he said, I could call back for a replacement. It has worked for a week thus far, with the Wifi settings I WANT, not what Apple TELLS ME to set my router to (why do that when I have a MacBook 4 feet away that doesn't put up a fight with the network?). It hasn't forgotten my password yet this time around. The second it does, I'm replacing it.

It sounds like this might be a software problem if restoring the software took care of the problem. I hope I don't have this problem when mine arrives.

Temporarily fixed it. It's back to the way it was, forgetting the password every eight minutes, while I'm connected to my home network.

Have had wi-fi connectivity issue since day one. Went to Apple Store on second day and was able to connect to their hot spot. It also connects to every other hot spot that I have a password for and one that doesn't require a password. Sounds like my home network is the problem, but I have never had a connectivity issues with it, and I have 3 computers running off of wi-fi and to Internet radios -- all working perfectly with no connectivity issues at all.

What gives?
