Ipad wifi password needs to be reentered

I have been using my ipad mini for a week now and each time the unit sleeps or leaves the home wifi area i need to reenter my wifi router password. This does not happen with my iphone 5 or any other wifi device in my house

Okay, you MUST be kidding. I think I'll just forgo wifi for a night!

IPad WiFi password problem fixed by switching to 128-bit encryption

Upon waking, my iPad would often prompt me to re-enter my WiFi password, or simply say that it wasn't connected to the internet.
I was using an old D-Link Router with 64-bit WEP encryption. After talking to a senior support tech, I switched the WEP to 128-bit and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
This is still a bug, because if you're in some random hotel, you can't change the router settings. But this workaround may help until a patch is released.

Too many suggestions on resetting wifi password for my MacBook Pro! How is it really done?

I'm trying to reset my wifi passwork on my MacBook Pro. There are way too many suggestions on the internet. I want to get the "real" way to do it so I don't make a mistake. Thanks

Sorry. Read that as system password the first time. The wifi password needs to be reset in your router, then on your devices. How to do it depends on which router you have.
In the Airport Extreme, use Airport Utility to get into the router. Double click the base station then choose edit. Select the wireless tab. Enter the new password there.

IPad 2 on iOS 5.1 losing wifi password.

I've updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 and now it won't keep the wifi password. Each time I have to re-input the password. Sometimes it loses the password whilst I'm using it and just disconnects. It was fine on 5.0 but it's doing my nut in now. I'm sure this is a software glitch so Apple sort it out! My new iPad has had this problem once since I've had it, but the iPad 2 won't remember the password no matter what. It's not hardware as it worked fine for a year before this update.

1- What type of security are you using? (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.)
2- Do you have your router set to hide your network's SSID (network name)?
WEP seems to be problematic with iOS devices, and it is not very good security anyway. Using WPA2 is far better and plays nice with iOS.
Hiding your SSID can be problematic with iOS devices (my son's Mac had a problem with that too). There really is no need to hide your SSID since that doesn't protect you in any way, it is quite easy to sniff around and find your network (I have a free app for that, so that tells you how prevalent such 'tools' are).

Entering your Wifi password will not - unless I'm missing something completely - disable your iPad. The only thing which will disable your iPad that I'm aware of is entering your passcode for iPad incorrectly multiple times.
If this is the case then please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have forgotten your password for your router the WPA or WPA2 key as it's also known as they you will need to log in to your Router and setup a new WPA(2) key.

Seeing What WiFi Password is on iPad

I have an iPad 2, and recently I got a new laptop, but now I need to get my WiFi password off of my iPad, because I don't remember my password or how to reset it. Can someone tell me how to find out what it is?

There is none. And you need to be more picky when choosing friends.
Most routers have a way to reset the device to factory settings. The procedure should be easy to find with Google. Do that, then set your own password.
Before you reset it, get detailed instructions from your ISP for configuring your router to connect to them.

HT5569 iPad will not accept my wifi password

I had my iPad replaced today due to battery failure. The replacement iPad will not accept any of my wifi passwords at work or at home. Is there a setting that needs to be reviewed? I have rebooted both the iPad and routers at both locations, no one else is having problems with these passwords or their wifi connections.
Any suggestions?

My iPad Mini keeps saying "incorrect wifi password"

So just recently my ipad had dissconnected itself from our internet, i had attempted to re enter our regular wifi password which is about thirty numbers long, and it said incorrect, i figured sicne it was so long i mistyped something. so i typed it in another 10 or so times, no change. i later called apple which got me no where because appearently you now have to pay for phone sevices which is absouloutly ludacris. And seeing as our closest apple stores are in Detroit, or London, my parents cant just go take me whenever.
So anyways, i have googled every possible thing i can, and i still havent found any troublshooting things that work. Soft resets, and resseting network settings didnt help either. We thought it may have been our router, but yesterday i hd gotten a new phone which had no problems at all connecting to our internet, as well as my sister who had forgotten and reconected to our internet with out a problem too, i have tried updating to the latest ios but my itunes wont let me do it through the computer, and seeing as i have no wifi on my ipad i cant do it that way either.
So now im trying all i can to try and get it to update. I dont really want to restore because if i do and it doesnt fix anything, im stuck with an ipad that is basically usless because i cant download apps without wifi. And i have tried the whole turning on and off your router sequence many times and it hasnt worked.
So is there any way that i can fix this without restoring or going to apple? Restoring is my last resort.

Even though other devices can connect, it may still be worth resetting the router. Does it connect to other Wi-Fi networks?
If that doesn't work, you've done all the basic troubleshooting, so it's time for a restore.
If that doesn't work, you may have a hardware issue.

TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update. (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update. The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.

If I rent a movie in iTunes for my iPhone, Macbook or iPad do I need wifi to watch it?

You should not need it as the film should be downloaded.

New iPad asks for WiFi password. There is none. My WiFi uses WEP 128 bit encryption, but there is no "password" to enter.

Brand new to the iPad. It's asking for a password to the WiFi network in my home. There is no "password" as such associated with this WiFi network. It uses WEP 128 bit encryption where each byte is a hexadecimal number and is called a "key" Typing this lengthy thing in gives me no results. The iPad keeps on asking for a password. I have three computers and a DVD hooked to the network which has been working for a decade, so that's not the issue.
Basically I'm stuck not being able to get onto the WiFi system.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

TA48312 ipad 2 wifi password problem

i have problem with my apple ipad 2 wifi password ...i use itunes latest and win xp 2 HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP ME

I too have had this problem with both iPhone and iPad dropping my wifi network and now neither are able to join the network again. This has only occurred since the last iOs update. had problems with them dropping the network in the middle of something, but was usually able to reconnect after powerdown and reboot, now neither will reconnect.
Apple support says it's my router and modem, or my password is wrong. Nope, not those as my wii, desktop and roomie's laptop all connect just fine. The devices see the network, but are unable to join.
I am thinking this is a software/iOS issue.

Create a new SSID and password for your router.

I forgot my restriction password and I can't delete any app. I can't download anything either, I've filled up all the space in my iPad, and I need to update my iPad in order to restore it. But my iPad needs space in order to update to a newer vers. of ios

But my iPad needs space in order to update to a newer vers. of ios.. I've also tried to restore to the previous backup, but it yet doesn't work. Please help :c!

I told you, I can't restore iOS. In order to restore my iPad, I need to update it to iOS 7.0.4, but my iPad needs available space to update, but I don't have any. I can't delete anything at all, so yeah.. are there any possible ways to restore my ipad without updating? If not, please state other ways to solve this problem.
