IPad not recognizing WIFI

I have my IPad setup to automatically connect to my WIFI at home. When I open the cover to wake it up, it doesn't see the WIFI. I can go to the settings & it shows that it is connected to my WIFI but it will not work on the WIFI. If I turn the WIFI off & then turn it back on, it will start working or I can turn the IPad off & on & that also makes it start to work. As long as I am using the WIFI, it continues to work. It almost feels like it is timing our if I don't use it for a while. It started doing this a couple months ago after I upgraded to IOS 8. I called Apple & they had me reinstall IOS 8 but that didn't help. Any suggestions??

Thanks,

I have had to "reboot" or reinstall my AT&T modem by putting in the password to add the account, but only one time.
I just bought a new iPad Air 2 and hooked up to both wifi and my cellular data. I want to be able to use my iPad anywhere and not be limited to wifi connections or hot spots. I pay $3.99 per month with AT@T to be hooked up to my cellular data plan. Just another option.
