Apple Confirms iPad's Wi-Fi Issues

The first generation of iPads accesses the internet using Wi-Fi networks. "Under certain conditions, iPad may not automatically rejoin a known Wi-Fi network after restart or waking from sleep," says a statement on the Apple (NASDAQ: aapl) support page. The company says this can happen with "some third party Wi-Fi routers that are dual-band capable", and when both of those networks share the same network name, or when each band has a different security setting.
