iPad 2 will not connect to wifi I have an iPad 2 (OS 9.3.5) that will connect to some wifi networks and not others. For instance, it will connect to a wifi network at home (AT&T) and it will connect to my iPhone's hotspot, but it will not connect to my Deco Mesh wifi network (Xfinity) at my vacation home. It *does* recognize and display the wifi network. But when I enter the password, it provides the "unable to connect" message. I have: "forgotten" the network reset the network settings rebooted the router re-started the iPad to no avail. I'm thinking the iPad and OS are just too old and probably will not connect to the new Deco Mesh wifi network because of that. Does anyone else have any ideas?
