If you feel like your brand-new iPad isn't working with wireless networks the way you think it should, the problem may not be in your head. Apple's support forums contain a number of comments from frustrated users who are experiencing problems while trying to set up their Wi-Fi connections. And Apple itself has posted a support note and FAQ on Wi-Fi and the iPad.

User reports on Wi-Fi problems cover various issues. Some users say they're unable to join their networks at all after their iPads come out of sleep; others can't seem to get a signal unless they stand very close to their wireless routers (which, needless to say, negates the points of having a wireless network in the first place).

In some cases, the devices are exhibiting less definite problems with Wi-Fi, with the signal dropping unexpectedly in places where other devices (including other Apple products) seem to work just fine.
