I have an ipad that I can not get to connect to anything.Keep getting "server stopped responding" after ipad tries to connect for 5 minutes.I have wi-fi enabled and password given and enabled with strong signal.I have restored to factory settings once allready.I am an Apple newbie as this is my first product experience and it is not going very well.This should be easy and I must be doing something wrong or I have a defective ipad.I have the latest software installed and have itunes connected through my laptop.I am losing my wits and could use some help since I am lost with what to do now.Help?

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

I was on the phone for hours reconfiguring my cisco wireless router.In the end it seems that the router and the ipad are communicating but there is a block somewhere allowing the ipad to connect to the internet.they claim it is not the router but the ipad and maybe the technology is not the same.g on the router and n on the ipad?My brain is starting to ooze from my head.It seems that a new router with n technology might work but I dont know and I cant seem to get a difinitive answer about what exactly is the problem and I feel like I have been goingg around in circles for days.Have onlt ever heard good things about apple and can not believe that this is happening to me and have no where to turn anymore for help.
