iPad suddenly can’t connect to Internet

Hey-
I’ve had my iPad for a few weeks now and love it. It’s been no problem.
This morning I woke it up to check emails and got a message to say I’m not connected to the Internet.
The same happened with Safari, and any other Internet based app.
I shut it down and restarted but that didn’t help. I plugged it into iTunes and saw there was an update available so I installed it in case it helped. But still nothing.
I have a full signal strength from my wireless router.
What might be causing the problem?
Thanks.

Dual G5, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Hi -
OK - just tried that. It asked me for my router password, and again it connects to the router (I have four bars on my iPad wireless icon); but still when I open an app that requires the Internet it says “You must connect to the Internet to use this application.”
I know the router is working OK cos I’m connected to it on my desktop Mac in order to write this!
Any other thoughts?

Hi -
Well, like I said above, my problem seemed to be with my router. Turning everything off and back on got everything going again. So I’d try that as a possibility - it’ll at least show if it’s your router or your iPad at fault.
If not try the Network reset suggestion that someone suggested earlier in this thread.
Let us know if any of this helps!
