iPad help
« on: July 19, 2012, 06:04:35 PM »
I think I am fortunate to have bought a new iPad 2. That was the easy part. The hard part is connecting it to the wifi. I tried but the pad doesn't except the password????I've tired  about 7 times. Help

I've got to the settings and the network but again it doesn't accept the password and I know its the right one because I get it off my computer.

I know many of you have the iPad so maybe you may have a suggestion. Thank you.

No real advice. Can you reset the password and try again?

Hi,

As above, check your wifi router and ensure you have the correct password. Perhaps re-set it and don't forget to update on your other PC as well or then it won't connect!

If it still doesn't work, you may have to delve further into checking the wi-fi setup on the router and then ensuring your iPad is configured correctly, perhaps the router has a PSK2 encrypted password and you are on your iPad and trying to connect via WEP?

Not much more can be done via here, so perhaps give apple support a call?

I'm still overwhelmed with the pad.
I did change my password and zippo it worked. Now I'm surprised how easy it is to get my password. Not at all secure.
There is a little boy (14) in the neighborhood who comes and sits on the curb opposite my house with his laptop. Unusual I know. I was assured by my grown son that the boy couldn't access my computer without the password but I don't think that is true. I have turned off my computer and he leaves. Coincidence??? Coincidentally the password is right there on the computer for all to see if they know where to look.
Anyway I have so much to learn about this pad but I think it is very entertaining in so many ways.
Thanks for your help!
