iPad drops WiFi connection to Verizon FiOS Actiontec Router

I got my wife an iPad 2 for Christmas and she soon started complaining about the Wifi dropping its connection. I suggested she try turning off the “auto join” wifi setting, but that didn’t help. She’d be doing something and get the “Sorry, there’s no internet connection” error every 5-10 minutes. We’ve had FiOS for quite a while and we have 8 or 9 other devices connected (including Macs & iPhones) to the router without issue, so this seemed weird. I was starting to think it was a problem with the iPad, but we went to a friend’s house and used his wifi (with a Netgear router) and the iPad had no issues.
