Connecting to wifi

This morning my iPad won't connect to my wifi. My computer and phone can, so I know it's just the iPad. I re-entered the password with no luck.


iPad, iPadOS 14

If you are experiencing difficulties with one device connecting to your WiFi when other are connecting without issue, whilst it may appear to be counterintuitive, a restart of your WiFi Router may resolve the problem.


To restart you home router, disconnect power - then wait at least 30 seconds before restarting. When you router has rebooted (which may take several minutes), force-restart your iPad:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
