First, are you able to connect to your Routers WiFi network?

If, having connected to your Router’s WiFi you still cannot connect to the internet, you may need to restart your WiFi Router. 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.

  1. Go to Settings  > Wi-Fi, then turn on Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap one of the following:
    • A network: Enter the password, if required.
    • Other: Joins a hidden network. Enter the name of the hidden network, security type, and password.

If  appears at the top of the screen, iPad is connected to a Wi-Fi network. (To verify this, open Safari to view a webpage.) iPad reconnects when you return to the same location.
