Why can’t I sign in with my Apple ID on my iPad? Every time I try to sign in so that I can message my friends it never works. Why is that?

I don’t know if it’s an internet thing or what but I would be super grateful if someone could help me solve my problem, if I try to sign in it takes forever and then it says that my iPad didn’t connect.

iPad, iPadOS 16

  •  You need to sign in to your router.
  • The Wi-Fi network name, or SSID (service set identifier), is the name your network that has a password.

 

or If you have iOS 16 / iPadOS 16:

Go to -> Settings -> tap Wi-Fi -> tap on the hidden Password -> enter Passcode -> you will then see the Wi-Fi Password.


If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.
