New iPad set up (with Wi-Fi)

Trying to set up a new iPad (through the my iPhone option) and do not get a "connect to Wifi prompt". The iPad has been on the Software Update screen for 20 minutes. I've shut the iPad off and tried again and it still not appearing to load. I'm just wondering if I'm not connected to Wi-Fi. I assumed since my is connected to wifi it would automatically transfer over to the iPad.

Hi there dbongo,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you have some questions about setting up your iPad. If you are setting up the iPad from another iOS device, you may not need to sign in to Wi-Fi because the Wi-Fi information would be transferred between devices automatically. Learn how to set up the iPad here: Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


We hope this helps!
