I just purchased at&t uverse wire fi and all in one router. The router is NVG510. I can connect to any windows laptop and not have an issue with connections dropping however, sporadiac connection with apple products. The error I get most often is "a server with the specified hostname could not be found". At&t has no soluctions and point the figure indicating this is an Apple issue and they need to correct. Any solutions?

No, this isn't an Apple issue. As a matter of fact, I'm surprised your Windows computers aren't dropping connections as well. The fix, though, is to enter DNS addresses on your computers. Instructions explaining what DNS is and how to add DNS addresses to your Apple devices can be found in this discussion:

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
