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.

This is the second time this has happened: All the wifi devices in my house lose their connection to the FiOS router/access point (ActionTec MI424WR-GEN2). I checked my wired desktop and it wasn’t able to get an IP from the DHCP server (the router). The “Internet” light on the router was out. I unplugged the router and plugged it back in and it came back up fine. But this happened about a month ago too - I wonder if it’s a monthly thing? Either way, it’s annoying. Other than this, the internet service is phenomenal still.
