Nope. It is a linksys Cisco. I am probably going to buy a new router today. Sucks.

Very strange indeed & sorry to hear your having connection issues, ironically this is one area where I actually notced big noticable improvment over my old ipad1 in that my new iPad 3 loads web pages noticably much faster then my ipad 1, in fact I did a side by side comparison, having cleared caches, I hit the load links exactly same time, but the 3 had loaded while the 1 was still only halfway across on the progress bar, so a really big improvement in loading speeds..certainly when compared with the first gen iPad.

I would try doing a reset, by holding down on/off and home buttons, and thoughly check you are indeed putting in correct details, it's dead easy to forget u changed passwords or something else.. I know as I've done it myself loads of times. Is everything else connecting to your router with same details ok.?
You obviously need to ascertain if indeed there is a mal function with it, if so, then get it swapped out, sorry I'm not able to offer anything really helpful matey.

It may take a long time in some cases (up to 5 minutes). Mine took over 1 minute the first time but after the initial setup, everything went back to normal.

Leave it there and grab a cup of coffee or something....

Hope it helps...

I also got my iPad3 yesterday but I could not connect it to my Netgear WNDR3700. I had to remove all the security locks to be able to connect. All my other Apple devices connect to my WiFi with security lock. Only iPad 3 gives me this grief. I am planning to go to Apple Store to see what is going on. Any suggestion from Forum members is greatly appreciated.

I reset my router to default then went through and changed every setting that I found that worked with the 1 and 2. I ended up going to the apple store and when it wouldn't connect to there network, the y exchanged it immediately.

Apple stuff might be expensive, but their customer service is top-notch in my experiences.

Do you have a netgear ?

I do, I do! I'm having intermittent luck after changing so many things on the iPad and the router that I'm not sure what did it. I think it might have been giving the iPad a static IP. It's still not great.

Is the Netgear a common problem?

I will buy a new router if I know that it will improve my situation.
