Turn Off your iPad, then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Start your iPad and see what happens.

Found this and it worked for me.... Thanks to Ian C. Only had to open safari for the box with my wireless name to appear...
Go to wifi settings and switch on wifi.... You wireless name should appear but will not connect automatically.
Now press the home button and press the safari button....
It will instantly not work and a little box will appear with wireless connection available...
Select yours and it will connect...
Now go back to wifi setting under the general tab and switch off the wifi, switch it back on and it should connect automatically....
Worth a try it work for me...
Tanks

You have to set up the internet manually:
1) Under wifi settings, hit other...
2) Under Name type your network name
3) For security, you must select WPA2
4) Enter your internet's password
After that, the wifi should hold.
This worked for me, thank you much! (:
