I had the same thing happen at my mom's house, and it ended up being the wireless router. It was intermittent dropping of the internet, but different devices. So, the iPad might be fine, but my laptop would drop, and a reboot would cure it. Next time around, my laptop would be fine, but my brother's would drop. The internet connectivity would drop for some of us, but not all. Just to point out that it could still be your modem.

It took a long time to figure out it was the modem, and what tipped me off eventually was that sometimes the individual reboots wouldn't work, but rebooting the modem would. Eventually, it just quit giving out internet altogether.

If you think it's your computer, first thing I'd do is update your wireless network drivers. I'm on WinXP at the moment, so can't give you direct instructions, but look at your hardware devices (maybe right-click My Computer and properties or manage?). Find your wireless network driver, and if you check the properties for it, you should see a version number and a date for the drivers.

Then go to the manufacturer's website, go to Support> Download Drivers (or some similar combination of menu names), find the latest and greatest drivers for your computer. Often, a driver update will fix it. Sometimes you get driver updates through Windows, but best to go straight to the manufacturer if you're having problems.
