Hallelujah. The iPad update has dramatically improved my iPad's Wi-Fi reception. Thank Zeus.
Was about to ask. Even if I'm a couple of metres from my router, my iPad can't reliably hold a connection for longer than a couple of pages while browsing. Then I have to exit to the settings, switch wifi off and on and try again - happens x0 times a night and drives me nuts!
Updated my iPad and the wi-fi problems persist. Very frustrating.
