Apple has posted a knowledge base article addressing a problem where some iPads do not automatically rejoin known Wi-Fi networks.
Symptoms 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
Resolution If you encounter this issue, try the following:
● Create separate Wi-Fi network names to identify each band. This can be done easily by appending one or more characters to the current network name. o Example: Add a G to the 802.11b/g network name and an N to the 802.11n network name.
● Ensure that both networks use the same security type (WEP, WPA, WPA2, and so on)
If the issue persists, reset your network settings using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Oh God, well, wellcome to the iPad experience, not only does bad Wifi, it also doesn't connect with ease to Windows Pc's (u know we hate u but u can buy a Mac) and this is just the start, there is more to come!

IPad? Big thing!!, just out and already having WiFi issues, it seems unbelivle that Apple does not test this things before engaging in a monstrous advertising campaign to sell something that stars behaving oddly once you take home and pay a lot of money for it, I think that this will show the big corporation that hackers & Jailbreakers are more capable of making the Apple devices much better than what Mr. Jobs sends out to the market.
Knowing Apple it's just a way for them to let the jailbreakers introduce their jailbreaking tools so Apple can know their exploits that they used so Apple can patch it up with their next firmware update and call the firmware update a "fix for wifi issues".
