I can’t connect to my wifi network on my iPad 2. I thought if I deleted my wifi network from my iPad2, and put it back in, maybe that would do it. But ‘delete this network’ doesn’t come up when I touch the ‘i’ next to my network. My iPad doesn’t recognize my Apple ID or my wifi password. AND I DELETED my iPad2 from my phone and don’t remember how to add it back in to my phone.

So a removed device SHOULD be added to your iCloud account again when it goes online again If your Apple ID and password are still configured into it. If you can’t access your wifi, does the iPad have cellular, or can you access a hotspot/guest network?
Also, I’m not clear on something - you said your network is still showing up but that the iPad doesn’t “recognize your wifi network name.” Also, once you remove a device from iCloud account, that device is normally wiped the next time it’s online. I had this issue before with a phone I lost, and according to Apple, the carrier, everyone I talked to, that phone was just dead to me from then on. It had activation lock because I forgot to sign out of anything before removing it. And you can’t fix activation lock without the original purchaser if I remember right. I had to finally go to one of those $200 services on eBay to get it unlocked.
Sorry for the delay- thanks so much for trying to help. I can connect to a HOTSPOT…it SHOWS I am connected to WiFi. BUT, when I try to open a page, it asks for verification- and or my password. But since the iPad does not recognize either, I can’t go any further.
since I couldn’t connect to the network, I deleted the device from my iPhone. I thought that would delete the network name from my list on the iPad. It didn’t (I think because that network is locked. It has a picture of a lock next to it).
All the other devices in the house are connected to the router, just not the iPad. 2 TVs and 2 iPhones.
thanks. I’ve tried all those things. Unfortunately, my iPad’s network name is still there and the iPad won’t recognize either my Apple ID or my wifi network.
I can’t connect to my wifi.
