I don't seem to have a problem with this with my AEBS. It is possible that the iPad is more sensitive to interference than the other devices in your home, or it could be an impending sign that your router is on the way to death.
I a similar fashion, we had an issue at the church sanctuary where we sat 2 different 15" unibody MBP's near the FOH sound console, and they would both lose network throughput to where downloads were timing out. After the IT administrator changed the channel for connectivity, all seemed fine.

Frequency and channel matters.
Maybe a neighbor added a router, wireless phone, etc.
Most people use channel 1, 6 or 11 on their g frequency. Use a wifi survey software to monitor channel traffic traffic and pick the least used.
I remember having wifi issues a few years ago due to a Panasonic 2.4GHz wireless "broad spectrum" phone. Problem fixed by buying 5.8GHz phones.
Then a neighbor bought a wifi router...I changed my g channel and the problem was fixed.
Same issue at work...losing signal often...found out there were 12 different wifis in the area. Changed channel, issue fixed.
Expect a portable device like an iPad to be more sensitive to wifi traffic than a more powerful device such as a laptop.
Also, I find 802.11N to be more sensitive/picky than 802.11G, but that could be me.

I am having the same problem with my iPad 2 wifi connection. So frustrating. I even tried to get software upgrade it rad for the full33 mins then came up with a message advising couldnt get upgrade as wifi connection dropped!!!! I have tried lots of things including reloading wifi but nothing works. iPhone 4 fine no problems. Help please.
It's more often than not the routers fault. No "You're holding wrong" or antenna gate conspiracy here.
