iPad won't connect to remembered wifi
What would cause an iPad mini to no longer connect to a wifi connection it has been happily using for 36 hours, while 2 pc's and an Android device continue to use this connection no problem?

Start with simple fixes and work your way up:
Hard reboot - Hold power and Home buttons down until the iPad restarts.
Settings - Wifi - "Forget network" on the offending network
Reboot your wifi
If none of those work, do the network reset on the iPad. I leave that for the last resort as you'll have to set up any and all wifi links that you might use all over again.
Like I said I tried all off that. The iPad simply has a poor antenna. My guess it's the metal case, but I'm far from an expert. If I'm right on top of a hot spot,like a hospital, coffee shop, motel it works great. Across the street it's real iffy. My old lap top sees at least 6 of my neighbors signals. The iPad nada, nothing, zilch. Read hours of the problem on the internet. It is recommended to even relocate your OWN router in your OWN house! It's a very common problem. Other than that one quirk, and most folks won't even be aware of it, it's great machine and the OS is top notch in my opinion.
