Five days in and one major bug has been discovered on the iPad. For reasons as yet properly addresses by Apple, wifi on the device is proving to be buggy.

Many users, myself included, are reporting dropped wifi connections and wifi not working even when connected.

Apple support is suggesting advice along the lines of “switch it off and switch it on again”, which is creating much ire on the blogosphere.

I’d argue that it’s a new device and it’s bound to be problematic in some areas. Also, it’s likely to be a matter of days before Apple releases an update to deal with the issue.

For me, resetting network connections and renewing lease did the job.
