Just wanted to know if I'm the only one with occasional issues connecting to a WiFi network?

Annoyingly often when I'm in my browser, it'll fail to connect to my network (although any nearby laptops/smartphones will connect fine), meaning that I can either reset my router or wait 5 minutes or so before the iPad reconnects automatically.

A common scenario will go something like this:

- Loose connection, fail to open a web page.
- Check my iPhone and see the WiFi is working fine.
- Go into settings only to find that the iPad has given up trying to connect to my router, and has tried to access public WiFi instead (BT have their Openzone and "Fon" networks covering my area).
-Go to reselect my own network, to find that the password has been forgotten and will need to be re-entered...BUT if I wait a few minutes, the iPad will reconnect anyway and I can browse again.

Anyone?
