The times that you can't connect are probably due to the
configuration of the network you are connecting to, not anything
under your control.

One easy and cheap workaround would be to add a second wifi interface to
the laptop via a USB interface -- find one that's compatible
with hostapd, and run that. You'll get a private wifi network
for your laptop and your iPad.
