iPad wifi connectivity problems

I'm having this issue right now.

Not happening here

Thankfully not happening with my iPad. I was worried when I had problems with it at a hotel, but it looks like it was just a problem with the hotel. Bad news for Apple, though.

I've seen some weirdness with my signal meter today, but haven't seen network performance be too bad. Maybe just a problem with the meter data/display thereof?

That is interesting. I haven't had this problem and my router is in a different floor from where I generally use my iPad.

take a look at step 19 on the ifixit ipad teardown... <a href="http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-Teardown/2183/3" rel="nofollow">http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-Teardown/2183/3</a>. notice the soldering. probably a manufacturing problem on certain lots.
