Wifi dropping on iPad and after reset doesnot seem to connect to iTunes?

wifi on my ipad kept dropping and than complety dropped. Re-entered home wifi info, but did not fix. Then went to Settings - General and did reset all settings. Wifi still does not work so I cannot restore from iCloud so and I have to restore from iTunes backup: the screen keeps showing connect to iTunes. However, I do see in the left top corner that it is syncing. Any ideas?

iPad, iOS 5.1

Additional things to try.


Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.


On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.


If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.
