iPad WiFi "Greyed-out"

I have been searching for the solution but there has been little info about this.
My problem is
There is no wifi connection! and after a turning off(hold power button and slide)
the wifi greys out. So, I try a soft reset and the wifi came back again(but still not working)
What should I do?

iPad, Windows 7, wifi problem

What exactly do you mean by, "There is no wifi connection"?

Can you see WiFi networks but not join them?

Is this connection problem just on your home network or on all networks (e.g., Starbucks, Borders, etc.)?

What is your wireless network like? (Router make & model)

How is it configured? (security type - WEP, WPA, or WPA2, DHCP or Static IP allocation, MAC filtering).

Sorry. I mean the ipad cannot detect my wifi(Linksys).
And after a respring, the wifi tab greys out. The only way I can make it back
is to hold home+power to reset. But still it will not work, just that the wifi addresses came back again.

now i'm restoring it on iTunes and try if it works

Here's the Apple Tech article on grayed out WiFi/Bluetooth options: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

I suggest you give that a try.
