Video of my WiFi iOS 4.2.1 problems

As you can see in the video, looking at the WiFi settings a checkmark indicating I'm connected to the "No Trespassing!" network. Yet there's no WiFi symbol in the bar up top. If I click through to the details for that wifi network, everything is blank. If I hit renew, I get an IP assigned and the WiFi icon appears in the top bar... but only for 10 seconds or so, and then it's gone again. It's like it is unable to retain a DHCP lease.
Same problem on both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 3G and iPad since updating to 4.2.1. At the same time I took this video, my iMac is connected to WiFi without any problems, so it's not something completely specific to my router. (Connected to an airport extreme dual band with the latest firmware.)
If I reboot the airport, the iOS devices can hold the wifi connection longer, but it goes back to this behavior after a day or two. At the time I recorded this video, both my iPhone 4 (used to record the video) and the iPhone 3G in the video, were experiencing the same problem.
Apple... what's going on here?
