I keep losing wifi connection.

I lose wifi on my iPad. If I reset the network connections, or reset the iPad I get it back. But. If I let it go to sleep, or continue on the internet for more than 10 minutes or so it goes out again.

I've tried adjusting brightness, using a static IP, and a bunch of other options. Nothing seems to keep my wifi up. I just got a new router and every other wireless device in the house, including two iPhones and an iPod touch, have no connection issues. Yet. My iPad and my wife's both have this issue.

Any other suggestions?

Try resetting the network connections on the iPad, power it off completely. Then power the router down, wait a few minutes and power it back up. After it has been up a few minutes, restart the iPad, enter the network settings and see if it will stay connected after that procedure.

There could be interference from nearby networks that affects the way the iPad sees your network. Try changing the channel you router uses. You might also try renaming your Wi-Fi network.

I tried both of these solutions and still I have the issue.

It connects initially. But. I lose the connection after a while. I'm stumped.
