Apple Acknowledges iPad Wi-Fi Problems

Apple admits to iPad Wi-Fi difficulties and suggests that you reconfigure your router to help it along.

Yesterday we reported on the early issues plaguing the early adopters of the Apple iPad. Problems include weak Wi-Fi performance and sensitivity to high temperatures.
It appears that Apple has quietly acknowledged some of the Wi-Fi issues in an update to its support site.
Apple described the Wi-Fi problem symptoms as, "Under certain conditions, iPad may not automatically rejoin a known Wi-Fi network after restart or waking from sleep. This can occur with some third-party Wi-Fi routers that are dual-band capable when: * Using the same network name for each network; * Using different security settings for each network."
Apple suggests a solution of giving each Wi-Fi band a different SSID name but both bands to have the security type.
