Wi-fi link lost on every disconnect.

We have a small wi-fi network at home. My wife has an iPad and I have an iPhone. There is also a laptop. The main desktop computer is hardwired to the router by ethernet. All software on all machines is the most current.

Whenever we switch on the iPhone or the laptop the wi-fi connects immediately.

On the iPad the wi-fi link is lost and we have to go through the full login process to the hidden router. This happens at both sleep and shut down. I can't see any setting that would cause this apart from "forget this network" on the iPad. But we haven't chosen that option anyway.

If you are using the iPad as a reference point for info during a phone call, it's quite common for the iPad to drop into sleep several times during a call.

Really annoying. Is it a bug, a fault, or some button I've missed?
 
Just done that and it seems to have worked!! :)

Just before this problem started we had an intermittent router problem. Devices were getting self-assigned IP addresses. Always sorted by rebooting the router. But I'm pretty sure that I tried the "Forget this Network" button on one occasion. Maybe the "forget" bit was remembered even after several subsequent successful connects. So could be a bug in iPad. I've done the "forget" routine on the other devices several times to try and sort a bug, and never had any particular problem afterwards.

Thanks!! :)
