IPAD WILL CONNECT TO OPEN NETWORK BUT NOT HOME NETWORKS

My ipad 2 has stopped connecting to my home network  ( Plusnet ) will also not connect to Virgin or Sky home networks but will connect to Asda Walmart
open network. I have tried reset network,forget network, airplane mode on and off and reset device but nothing seems to work. I have version 8.1.2  and the model number is MC706B/A and would be grateful for any advice.

When you keyed in your password for your router when you were prompted to enter a password on iPad, what did you enter?  If your router is recognized on your computer as say, Harry's Internet, that's not the password iPad is seeking.  What iPad is looking for is the encryption key from your router.  And that encryption key is often a 13 digit code comprised of numbers and letters.

  • IPad 2 connects via iphone hotspot, but not router

    I have a iPad 2 that refuses to see or connect to my "G" wi-fi network. Both my iphones and iPad mini connect to the same wi-fi network without any issues. But, the iPad 2 will connect to to my iPhone 5 via AT&T personal hotspot (wi-fi... is this really wi-fi?) and my mac via Bluetooth. I have reset the ipad 2 to factory settings, reset network settings and nothing is working to connect to a standard wi-fi network. Does this sound like the wi-fi antenna is not working?

    Hello Jeffrey Pimental,
    If you are not seeing your WiFi network from your iPad 2 in order to join, you may want to try the additional steps outlined in the following article:
    iOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi - Apple Support
    You may also want to double-check that the router is set up as outlined in this article:

  • Mac mini will connect to AirPort Extreme, but not internet

    I just picked up an AirPort Extreme and hooked it up. My Mac mini connects to the base station with no problem, but will not connect to the Internet. Wen using the airport utility it is an amber light next to Internet.
    I am able to get my iPhone and iPad to connect correctly. They both show that they are connected to the base station and the Internet. No sure what I need to do on my Mac to get it working properly.
    I'm running 10.8.2 on my Mac. APX is 5th gen.

    have you configured your Airport extreme to provide addresses via DHCP?
    If your WiFi settings are:
    IPv4 Address: 10.0.1.4
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 10.0.1.1
    DNS Server: 10.0.1.1
    and WiFi is working with no problems
    then having the same settings, just different IP address' last digit should work for Ethernet...
    Have you connected the Ethernet cable to the computer as well as the Airport Extreme ?
    Alternatively, you may change DNS server address to 8.8.8.8

  • TS1398 My iPad will connect to our wireless but within a few minutes of not accessing it disconnects and I have to go into settings and turn wireless off and on everytime I want to reconnect.  It won't automatically pick up a connection

    I cannot stay connected to the wireless.  Everytime I am online it will disconnect if not accessed within a few minutes and I have to go into settings to turn wireless off than on again.  We have a security key that was added when I set up iPad and tried Internet provider help line but weren't able to figure it out.  Tried FaceTime and wouldn't connect even though I was getting a call request, but wouldn't connect and now FaceTime won't verify my apple I'd. Help

    It's very easy to update firmware; read the manual that comes with the router?

  • IPad mini will connect to wifi WAN, but not wifi LAN?

    Connecting to Sierra Hotspot, mini will only stay connected with Internet access turned on: won't connect to wifi LAN without internet access?  iPad and even iPhone and MacBookAir have no problem...  The mini redirects me to turn-on the Internet network when trying to connect to the wifi, and this isn't always necessary or available, and it won't allow me to do anything else until the "Internet connection issue is resolved".
    I've tried all of the usual things: reseting the iPad mini, various connection techniques, even an AirPort Express bridge...

    This was resolved by entering network setting manually.

  • Wifi will connect to other routers but not the one at my house

    This macbook has had no trouble connecting to this particular router since we got it in august, but all of a sudden 3 days ago it stopped connection, just says connection timed out. It connects to any other router, bt hotspots, mobile tethering, just not our router at home. I'm currently connected to the troublesome router via ethernet cable with no issues. My other computer, tablet, and our phones are all connected to the router wirelessly with no issues as well.
    I've tried messing with the DNS settings, forgetting the router and readding, updating software etc but no luck so far, any ideas?
    I'm on OSX mavericks 10.9.5, macbook pro is from 2010, 2.4ghz core 2 duo, 4gb ram,

    I realice the same kind of problems after update to 10.10.2 version. My Mac unable to connect but no problems with iPhone and iPad.
    After trying some setup changes suggested by the support team through the chat the solution was:
    1-Change the channel  the router is using if not within the 9 - 15 range (formerly my one used the channel 1 and I changed to 11). It can be checked at Apple>About this Mac>System Report  within the Network>WiFi paragraph under the network ID.
    2-Change the DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (System preferences>Netwok>WiFi>Advanced>DNS).
    3-Turn off the Bluetooth connectivity.
    In my case it means I can't use my bluetooth magic mouse when need the WiFi connection running, but .......

  • IPad 2 connects to personal hotspot but not wifi

    I dropped my ipad2, but all seems to be working fine except for my wifi. What doesn't seem to make sense is that my wifi will see and connect to my iphone 5S personal hotspot but doesn't see my wifi router.  It is also picking up other wifi signals from my smart tv. If there is a wifi hardware issue, shouldn't that impact the ability to connect to hotspot?

    Hello Bella9678
    Start with going into Settings > General > Reset and Reset Network Settings, then try to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Check out the article below for more troubleshooting options to get your Wi-Fi working again.

  • My iPad will connect to the Internet but my iMac keeps dropping the connection or connects very slow.

    My iPad is working fine and connecting to the internet no problem. My iMac computer, when I check the system preferences and I go into network it says my network is working fine and I appear to be connected to the Internet, yet when I going try to go on safari it won't let me connect to the Internet or if it does the connection is slow. When I do manage to connect to the internet, the connection drops quickly. What do I do?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
    Are all network applications slow, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Is networking always slow, or only sometimes?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all slow?
    If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?

  • My Ipads will connect to my D-link DIR628, but will not go on internet

    My Ipads will connect to my D-link DIR628, but when i try to use safari to go on line it says "safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". My windows based laptop works fine with the router day in and day out.  I used both these Ipads in Hawaii recently using the free wi-fi they offered. 
    My friends windows based computer would not access the 'net as well as my moms apple laptop when they visited. Kind of sounds like a router problem but my laptop works great, just no other devices can get to the 'net.

    You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)
