How do i connect to wifi with ipad?

I just recieved my ipad 2. i cannot connect to wifi...help?

Ok so I have been battling with the same issue for a while now and have finally managed to crack it.
I have a Huawei 3G router that has been working for my PC;s and iPhone for a few years now. I then bought an iPad3 (3G and Wifi) and could just not connect it to the wifi network.
Fortunately I have a spare Linksys router (WRT320N) which has a setting to change the Wireless band from 2.4GHz to 5Ghz with 20/40MHz pipe. After changing this no problem iPad could connect.
So now I have 2 wireless networks running with internet connectivity only on the 3G so I plugged a lan cable from the 3G router into the internet port on the Linksys, set the Linksys up with a static internet connection and now I can access the internet via this method on the iPad.
Funny thing is, my iPhone cannot connect to the Linksys my laptop can however. Anyway so now I connect the iPad via the Linksys router and the iPhone via the 3G router.
I think Apple have pretty much messed up with the wireless bands on their products.......it would appear that they don't understand ? If they did they would make it pretty clear and from my efforts to try and sort this out i see there are many people out there, like me, who are laymen and there is no where that this is explained properly.
Most of the installed base of wireless routers I would think are on the 2.5GHz band, I say this beacause there are virtually NO wifi networks out there that I can connect to.
This is a huge frustration and a pretty poor reflection on Apple. So much for MOBILITY!!!!!

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Connected to WiFi with iPad but no internet because time capsule setting

Hi,
I have this material configuration
a sisco modem/routeur connected via ethernet to an AirPort Extreme connected via ethernet to a TimeCapsule.
since i have a fixed IP the modem/routeur and all the AirPort are in mode bridge.
So I have a strong network all over my place.
I can connect my MacBook Pro to the TimeCapsule via WiFi, everything works perfectly.
But if i connect my iPhone/iPad to the same Wifi network, i get connected but have no internet
Why does it work on Mac but not on iDevices

>> The TC plugged into the ISP cable, must be in router mode.. there is no choice there unless your ISP is giving you not just a static IP but a block of IP addresses.. are they giving you a block??
single IP my Gess, can't ask today because this is a day off because Eastern
So The TC plug into ISP cisco/router wich a cable that go into the Express in the desk. done.
Done the setting on the TC
here is internet
here is network
On the Express, network is in mode bridge so nothing to see
But this is internet
and.... it didn't work, can't see the computers linked to the TC from the Express
my ethernet newtork between the 2 AirPort dont exist anymore

TS1398 How to connect to wireless with iPad Mini running iOS 6.x.x.

Recently purchased iPad Mini which iOS 6.0.1 installed. It would not connect to the Internet over wifi at my home. I run two wifi networks in the house. One uses a Linksys WRT120G router (SSID:wremlc) and one using a combo DSL Modem/Router from CenturyLink (SSID:centurylink). iPad would not connect to either network. (As an aside my iPhone 4s amd my wife's iPhone 4 have been connected to the Linksys network (prior to upgrade to iOS 6.0.1. They still connect to the wremlc network but will not connect to the centurtlink network.) The Linksys router has been updated to the latest firmware and it is running WPA/WPA-2 security with AES/TKIP encryption and automatic channelling. After tinkering with the settings in the CenturyLink router and changing from automatic channling to Channel 6, I was able to the iPad mini but neither iPhone. I am afraid to change it on the wremlc network for fear that my iPhone will no longer connect. Took iPad back to Verizon Store and could not connect to any of their secure wifi networks. I am able to connect to public unsecure wifi networks in places like McDonalds, Panera and Starbucks. I am also able to connect to some private secure wifi networks at some of my firend's homes but not all. When I try, for example, at my in-laws house (they use a Linsys WRT120N router), it tries to join and I get a mesaage that says "Unable to join network "chandler". Same for my iPhones and my daughters iPad. I thought iOS 6.0.2 had fixed the wifi problems but clearly they have not. Don't think its a Linksys problem as my iPhones connect just fine but that could because its a remembered network that was originally connected before iOS 6.0 came out. Sorry for the epistle but any help would be appreciated.

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.

IPad 3 with iOS 6 fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - any solutions available?

Hello *,
after upgrading my iPad 3 to iOS 6 it constantly fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - hidden or broadcasted SSID - at home and at work because the device does not accept the WPA2 password. This is also the case for my iPhone 4S but both devices did work with WiFi (WPA2 / AES) perfectly with previously installed iOS 5.1.1.
I tried to downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 but it seems to be no longer possible to downgrade for both iPad 3 and iPhone 4S as the certification and signage window for iOS 5.1.1 maybe has been closed by Apple.
Does anyone know about a possible solution to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES with iPad 3 / iPhone 4S and iOS 6 upgrade?
Thank you very much for any help and advise.
Best regards from Germany
Matthias

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above has helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

How do I connect my ipad2 with my hp photosmart c4780 printer?

How do I connect my ipad2 with my HP photo smart C4780 printer?

Sharon-
I don't think that printer is capable of AirPrint. If the printer has WiFi or can be connected to WiFi, you can use an iPad App like Print n Share. If not, you can use a computer program like Printopia to share the printer as AirPrint over WiFi.
Take a look at the free iPad App, HP iPrint Photo. It has some limitations but should at least get you printing.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

That won't work with the iPad, unless maybe there's a "control monitor" app somewhere.

How can I connect a device with a mini USB, to my iPod?

Hi. Everyone
I have an MP3 player with a mini USB port. How do I connect it to my iPad?

If you say that there is built in speakers. Most probably the connection is HDMi. You will need an adapter to connect the MacBook Air to the monitor through HDMI, at the same time, the adapter needs to support video and AUDIO.

The Holy Mecha of Wifi
Turn router off then on Try turning your wireless router off then back on.
Change or turn off wireless security You may want to try toggling the settings on your wireless router, switching from WPA to WEP or vice versa, or, as a last resort, turning wireless security off altogether. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
Reset network settings on iPad. On your iPad, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset Network Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and other information, but may result in a more stable connection.
Adjust brightness upward. Oddly, a number of users have found that they can resolve this issue by simply adjusting the iPad’s brightness level upward and off the lowest setting. To do this, tap Settings, then select “Brightness & Wallpaper” from the left-hand pane. Slide the brightness bar upward, then wait 1-2 minutes and check for an improvement in signal strength. Speculation holds that a power delivery issue associated with the screen brightness affects Wi-Fi.
Change thresholds in router settings. Access your routers configuration screen (for most routers, open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1), then change the fragmentation threshold and the CTS/RTS threshold as described here. Some users have found success with the settings Fragmentation= 2048, RTS = 512.
Change 802.11 spec on router. Try changing your router’s wireless spec mode from B, G and N to G only or vice versa. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
Switch routers. Although a far-from-ideal solution, some users have found success with switching to a different wireless router.
Turn off “Ask to Join Networks.” To do so, tap Settings on your iPad, then select “Wi-Fi” from the left-hand pane. Slide “Ask to Join Networks” to off. Speculation holds that leaving this option on causes the iPad to constantly seek networks, resulting in some type of interference with the network to which it is connected.
Forget network then rejoin. Tap Settings on your iPad, then select Wi-Fi from the left-hand pane. Choose the network with which you are experiencing difficulty, then select “Forget this network.” Go back to the previous screen and rejoin the network.
Turn off Bluetooth. Some users report that, perhaps due to interference issues, turning off Bluetooth can boost Wi-Fi signal strength. To do so, tap Settings then tap General in the left-hand pane. Tap Bluetooth in the right-hand pane, then slide to off.
