Ipad forgets home wifi when restarting...

[chrzis]

My ipad works great including wifi ..... except when.....

When I restart, no connection. I simply go select my home wifi connection (which has already remembered the password) and done!

So why doesn't it remember it already? Known networks will be connected to automatically???

I'm having this exact same problem. Ideas?

Same thing here. Sorry I don't have a fix, but ever since iOS4.2, my iPad has taken on a different personality.
Synching problems, a few crashing apps, and a generally slower response time; not a big fan of iOS4.2 so far.

Well, I had all sorts of problems with my Wi-Fi when I first got my iPad (and this is pre-iOS 4.2) in terms of connecting to my home router - sometimes it did, sometimes it wouldn't and when it did it would forget the connection after being put to sleep.

The cure for my problems turned out - bizarrely - to be changing my WPA password. For some reason, my iPad just didn't like the original, because since I've done that I've never had another problem - it always connects as soon as it's in range, and no issues when coming out of sleep.

Don't know whether this will help you guys, but it's gotta be worth a try. Do think there is something slightly tempermental about the iPad's Wi-Fi anyway, though, even before 4.2 came out - my 1st gen Touch's is still better than it.
