Wifi signal strength indicator not accurately reading out proper signal strength.
 
You guys need to provide more information. It is not useful in any way to say 'weak signal'.

I get weak signal 200 meters away when the microwave is running as well.

What Wireless router are you connecting to?
What Wireless mode you using (a, b, g, n)?
What frequency 2.4 or 5Ghz?
How far away from the wireless router?
What are you comparing to?

Signal constantly fluctuates from 3 bars down to 1, only 20 feet from router.
Router: AEBS (latest model, dual band), firmware up to date.
No fluctuations at further distances from router with iphone 3gs, ipod touch, MB, MBP.
When signal drops to 1 bar, download speed also drops on speed test.
 
I had a sync issue where I loaded all of my movies and music but it didn't show up on my iPad but the space on the drive indicated that they were loaded. Had to sync about 5 time before they showed up

The wifi is not saving my password every time a connection is dropped I have to key it back in
 
Not sure if it's iTunes or iPad bug, but yesterday "Sync Apps" checkbox in my iTunes turned off by itself, resulting in all apps removed from device, including all data and settings.

After this incident, icons get re-arranged randomly after each sync. I will have to reset iPad today.

And, yes, Wi-Fi problem is real. It happened to me in public hotspot (iPhone connected to same network easily). Needless to say, I have no idea what was router model in that Starbucks.
