iPad2 chronic Internet connectivity issues

I've seen this message more than 20 times in the past 3 hours: "Cannot Open Page: Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet." I've occasionally seen this in the past, like once a week maybe, but this is nuts.
Running iOS 4.3.3
WiFi icon is present and shows good signal (I'm maybe 3-4 meters from the WiFi access point and my PC laptop's not experiencing any problems). Will be browsing on Safari, and maybe I pause for a few minutes (composing a post for example) and when I hit submit, or try to open a new window to google I get that message. This is not a resume/wake from standby issue (though it happens then too).
Solutions I've tried:
(1) Renew DHCP lease (doesn't usually work)
(2) Turn off WiFi and turn on again (sometimes works)
(3) Reset Network Connection (usually works)
(4) Soft Reset (usually works)
(5) Hard Reset (usually works)
While there are some workarounds above that reliably work, I shouldn't have to do this every 5-10 minutes.
Don't think it's the WiFi or the ISP, since I'm responsible for IT services in the office and no one is reporting issues (my colleagues are quite avid in reporting connectivity issues, as in they will wait for me to finish explaining to someone else that there are network issues that I'm resolving, just so they can also report that they too are having such issues).
Anyone else seeing this? Seems like a new development. Could another App be causing the problem?

Thanks Wulf, I'll give that a try.
I'm curious about this too. I had a similar problem and actually found that when I lowered my wireless router's signal strength to about 70% it actually made it better.
Interestingly enough, I rarely have this problem at home, but often have it at work. At home I'm running DD-WRT on a Linksys (WRT54GS v7 I think) and at work I have some shitty D-link that was free after rebate (no Tomato/DD-WRT available for it unfortunately). Mayhap it has something to do with the the work wifi router; not sure if I can adjust the gain on it, or if I want to if I could since I'm not getting reports of other users having wifi weirdness. If only some of my colleagues had iPads.
