Anyone having Wifi problems with their Nexus 7?

Lots of people are having problems with the wifi on their N7s dropping off suddenly. Restarting wifi solves the problem, but it can be infuriating when you are trying to download large files.

Quite a few people complaining about it on google's bug reporting forum:-

I am finding it annoying myself and am tossing up whether to return my Nexus 7.

I do have an old Dlink router but everything else (my Xoom, two Moto phones and 3 laptops) work fine.

Anyone else have this problem?

    I have a Nexus 7 since last November and so far has been brilliant.

    Happens to all android tablets at some stage and not just the N7. Half the time, it doesn't bother people as you mentioned restarting does solve the problem.

      Temporarily. It seems to be a problem with only certain router combinations.

      Bit ordinary really.

    Had one since the start of the year, hasn't missed a beat, regularly connect to three different networks (home, work, Phone WiFi HotSpot with never any issues….

    Bought 1 for my dad during Xmas. It's been working fine for him.
