TS1398 Ipad2 ios6 wifi is searching but never shows any networks. I have tried it in various places still no joy!!!!

Question

IPad2 ios6 when I try to connect to a wifi network, the iPad is searching for it but never sees anything. I have tried it all over in the last few days with no joy. I have done everything resetting it in iTunes and on the iPad (hard reset) I am beginning to think it must be hardware that's at fault.

It sounds like you disabled the guest network from your AirPort Express using AirPort Utility.....but you did not delete the network from the stored settings on your Mac.
We have no way of knowing what the "various instructions given by other members" might have included, but if you have not already done so on your Mac......
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on Wi-Fi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
Here you will see a list of networks that your Mac has joined in the past
Click on the name of the guest network to highlight it
Click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the network list to delete that entry
Do the same if there are other networks that you no longer need
Click OK at the lower right of the window
Click Apply at the lower right of the next window
Close the windows
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Locate a listing with the name of the guest network
Click on that listing to highlight it
Click the Delete key on your Mac
Click Delete in the window that appears
Close the windows
Restart your Mac now
