iPad loses wifi briefly, every 60 seconds

[sfditty]

I can watch it on a clock app- every 60 seconds, I loose wifi- or at the least the wifi icon disappears- every 60 seconds. Not 61, and not 59, but 60. It stays out for only a fraction of a second (maybe 1/2 a sec). This is just an annoyance and a visual distraction. At first it would go away after I did a reset, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. Has anyone here experienced anything like this? I'm using an airport extreme router, and my iPhone does not have this problem.

[Edit] The sixty second interval has been going on for a couple of months, but looking at it again, it's not as well-defined as I used to think it was- more like 45 seconds right now.

Yes it's a documented problem and Apple claims a fix is on it's way. That was some time ago though.

Cool, thanks for the prompt reply.

For the record it doesn't seem to be so frequent for me. It only happens maybe a couple of times a day. That being said I'll be glad to not have it happen again whenever them fix does come.

I have a similar problem except it jumps down to the smallest bar, beforejumpingback up to full strength without any change it loading speed
Though it doesn't happen as often a every minute

Posted this in another (similar) thread, but I was having the same issue but with wifi dropping every 5 minutes or so, but only at home. I was using a Netgear router and every single other wifi I connected to worked fine. I replaced my Netgear router with a Linksys and haven't had an issue since.
