Cannot connect iPad 2 to router

MY wife has a new iPad 2 and it will not connect to her wireless router at her business. It does recognize the router but when you tap on it to join you get tha error message "failed to join router...". Our iPhones and my iPad 1 connect fine. Her does connect at home and elsewhere. May be a wireless G router. Any suggestions?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Cannot connect ipad mini 2 to TP link extender

    The extender is syncd with PC with sky broadband and boosts signal around house (works well) but Ipad cannot connect to TP link and defaults to the PC Router and does not recognise TP link

    I feel you should become more specific in what you like to do with the HDD / HDD contents.
    Do you like to use iTunes on the iPad to access media files on the HDD?
    Do you want to use another media player (like VLC) to access media files? DLNA?
    Do you want o share data files through the HDD?
    I assume you already connected the HDD to the USB port of your wireless router and enabled sharing for the HDD (most routers allow to enable DLNA or other NAS functions for USB attached HDDs)?

  • Cannot connect printer (F4580) to router

    Good evening,
    I just bought my printer and I am having the hardest trouble connecting it to my router (Linksys WRT150N). When I try to set it up, I follow the instructions but the result is always the same! It says that the printer cannot connect to the router and it asks me if the SSID it correct, which it is! What can I do?  

    Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
    What operating system?

  • Satellite Pro L300-1B9 cannot connect to my Wireless router

    Hi!
    I have activated the wireless nw on SAT L300 PRO 1B9 - but with many fight...
    First I needed to find the switch to enable (I never though that it have... :-) ).
    Then I needed to deinstall Atheros in Windows, and set the flags on (enable) in the Windows driver.
    But in both Linux and Windows I couldn't connect to my Wireless router.
    My luck was that some of my neightbours have security-disabled, open wireless network, what I could map to test.
    The test was succecfully with that network, but my wireless router was unreachable.
    From other machine I could reach it.
    The result was:
    If I set the router to broadcast the SSID, both OSs (Ubuntu + Windows) can use wireless network.
    But if I disable the broadcasting (to protect my router), the network driver cannot use my router, it does not matter I pre-set the SSID...
    A router is WRT54G, and it is working with other computers if I hide the SSID, but with SAT L300 Pro cannot connect (with this option).
    Do anybody knows why? What I need to do to I could hide the SSID from the bad guys?
    Thanks for any help!
    Regards:
    dd

    I dont know which Windows OS do you use but if you use original Vista, I think, right WLAN driver is part of the package. So WLAN card must be installed properly.
    It is not easy to say what is wrong there but if the notebook can see and detect your WLAN network on notebooks side everything must be OK. Try to restart your router and check all settings.
    In my opinion there is some problem with WLAN settings.

  • Trying to connect IPAD to wireless router

    Help & advise needed. I have been trying to connect to my wireless router. I can see my network in the IPAD and when I try to join and enter my password it give me a message " incorrect password". I have reset my router 2x now and created new user & password ID.

    I am having the same problem. It is very frustrating. My lap top connects to my router just fine and my iPad can connect to other routers with no problem. PLEASE help us!

  • Cannot connect I-Pad to Router

    I had to reset my I-pad and lost the router connection.  I did not remember the password for my router, so I went in and changed it.  When I go to Settings-Wi-Fi and see the network and type in that new password...it won't let me connect to the router. What am I doing wrong?

    The most likely thing would be that you haven't got the password correct. Either the way it was set in the router or what you are trying on the iPad.

  • Cannot connect iPad Air to VGA Monitor

    Hi,
    I received n Ipad Air for Christmas so gave away my old gen 1 Ipad, now I am beginning to wish I hadnt as there are so many problems!
    One I am trying to resolve right now is very iportan as I have aconference to attend and need to connect the ipad to a std PC VGA monitor to output video (I cannot use airdisplay or wireless connectivity). I have a STD PC monitor here which worked fine ith my 1st Gen Ipad and i bought a lightnng convertor for my VGA adaptor but hen connected ot the mobitor I get nothing. Have tried every permutation of on/off of monitor and Ipad to no avail.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    thank you
    Elizabeth

    Hi,
    sorry, to  clarify, I had an adaptor for my Gen 1 Ipad to VGA and that used to work fine, when I got the Ipad Air the Apple store sold me a lightning adaptor which goes from the Ipad Air to the Gen 1 VGA adaptor and I pug the VGA cale into that original Gen 2 Adaptor, does that make sense now? The idea being so that I could use the orginal VGA adaptor from my Gen1 Ipad which was a much cheaper option hat buying a whole new adaptor. Do you think I was sold the wrong thing then?
    thanks

  • Wireless LAN cannot connect with the wireless router with Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I currently have a Lenovo V570 laptop with Windows 8.1 running on it. I cannot seem to stay connected to a wireless wifi connection for more than 10 minutes without it going "limited" and a yellow caution exclamation icon hovering over my connected wifi icon.
    When it goes limited, I cannot access the internet whatsoever and it's growing increasingly frustrating. I used to have success by disconnected and reconnecting which seemed to temporarily solve the issue, but now even that is not working. 
    I did not have this issue (I don't believe so) when I first installed Windows 8 on this laptop a few years ago. This is an issue I've been dealing with for over a year now and only within the past 4-6 months has it been really bad.
    I found this support page here which provides solutions for my problem but after attempting all of them, unfortunately none of them worked. The only time I experience no issues is when I directly connect an ethernet cord from my laptop to the router.
    The wireless problem exists for all wifi connections, whether it be my university wifi, home wifi, local, etc.
    Can anybody please help me out? I'd be more than happy to provide additional info to get this problem fixed once and for all.

  • TS1398 How to connect iPad to private router not connected to the internet?

    I have an iPad 2 running iOS6.1 that will not connect to my Asus RT-AC66R router when the router is not connected to the internet.  The message I get on my iPad is "The cable for ethernet is not plugged in".  This also happens with my iPod gen 5.
    I'm trying to control Philips Hue bulbs with their Zigbee bridge connected to the router, but I do not want a connection to the internet.  The Hue app works with an Android phone and an older iPhone 4 running an older iOS version without the router connected to the internet.  The newer iOS6 seems to want to have access to the internet, but having internet access should not be required for this application.
    If I do connect the router to the internet, the Hue app works on my iPad2 and it continues to work for a couple of minutes after I disconnect the internet cable. Then I get the message "The cable for ethernet is not plugged in" again. I'm doing this at work where I'm not supposed to connect the router to the work network cable, else it wouldn't be an issue.

    Log in to another computer, family's or friend's, and download it to a USB drive, using YOUR OWN Apple ID and then install it onto your Mac. Preferably you could use someone else's WiFi connection to directly download and install on your Mac,

  • Cannot connect Ipad and B1IF via HTTPS (B1 8.81 PL4)

    Hello
    I have installed sap business one 8.81 PL4 on a windows 7 x64 with integration services (AKA B1if) to access by iPad.
    I follow the installation manual to access by https required by 8.81 but, when starting the application on iPad, after inserting password, the appllication remains in stand by waiting the server connection.
    The same configuration on sap business one 8.8 PL 20 without https works properly.

    Same Problem here.
    the B1AuthLog says

  • Cannot connect using Accessing the Router's Web-Based

    I'm trying to update firmware, I have done all the step to access the router's web-based.. I connected DSL to the Ethernet port on the router, from the router I used another Ethernet cable to connect the router to my laptop.. I can't get an internet connection.  The reason why I'm doing the update I have been using WRT54G2 V1 with no problems, all at once I can't connect to the internet using the router.  I was told that I need to perform a firmware update.
    Thank you for the help

    What' s the ip address and the default gateway are you getting on the computer ?
    Connect the DSL modem to the Internet port of the router then use port number one on the router to connect the computer.
    Click on Start > Run > type CMD hit Enter command promt window will appear on the screen.
    In the command promt window tupe "ipconfig" hit Enter. Now you will see the ip address and the default gateway on the screen. Use the default gateway to open the setup page of the router.

  • Mac Book cannot connect to older Belkin Router

    Hi Everyone,
    I am a brand new Mac user (as of yesterday) and am trying to set the thing up. Never used a Mac before so I am not sure if it is me being a MacVirgin or not.
    I have an older Belkin router (which incidently connects to everything under the sun, D-LINK, Belkin, Sony PSP, my 360 everything). My Mac Book can see my network which is an unsecured Belkin54g. When I try to connect however, I get a useless error back saying:
    There was an error joining the airport network "belkin54g".
    As I have said before, everything else can connect to this network and it is unsecured at present.
    The router I am using is the Belkin FSD7630-4A which is currently running at 11g (slow I know). I also have not done any firmware updates to this either. Would this help?
    I am also using the latest airport update and OSX10.4.9
    Does anyone know of any solution to this issue. Has anyone experienced anything similar.
    Thank you.

    Ok - new macbook arrived. Exactly the same problem.
    Long chat with Belkin - they can't help.
    So I tried the following.
    Added an airport express which i had lying around to the belkin modem/router by ethernet.
    Bingo
    New macbook connects to the airport express just fine, but not the wireless belkin. I connect to the internet by piggyback.
    Something is no longer compatible between 'older' belkin routers wireless and newest macbooks.
    I suppose they gotta keep selling us kit...2 years old and still working? No good to wall street.....
