iPad won’t connect to WiFi. Keeps saying “incorrect password”

I recently changed my WiFi over from sky to three.

But since doing so my iPad won’t connect to the new WiFi it keeps saying the password is incorrect. I’ve tried sharing the password from my iPhone and typing manually but neither work.

I’ve reset my network settings to no avail and I have also completely erased and reset the iPad but still no joy.

iPad software is all up to date (IOS 15.8.3)

iPad connects fine to other networks. Fine with my iPhone hotspot and also fine with hotel/air bnb networks I have used recently.

Has anyone had a similar issue / have any advice on how to solve the issue? Unbelievably frustrating!!

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15

Start with basic WiFi troubleshooting - as detailed here:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support

Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support

Consider that your Router, to which you are attempting to connect, may be configured to require support for security features that are not supported by older versions of iOS. If you have an older iPad and your router is configured for WPA3 or WPA3/WPA2 mixed authentication, you will need to change this to WPA2 PSK(AES). Newer models of iPad support WPA3.

Some Mesh WiFi Routers are known to be troublesome in some circumstances.

Thanks Lotus.

Gone into my WiFi settings and seems I’m unable to change it from WPA2 personal. Tried a new password and still the same issue.

Appreciate the reply but perhaps an excuse to purchase a new iPad as I’ve this one for a fair few years!
