Have full signal, but can't connect to internet

Just opened, setup, and synced my new Ipad Wireless. Also downloaded that latest update.

I've connected wireless with full-strength.

But for some reason can't connect to the internet.

"CANNOT OPEN PAGE
Safari cannot open the page
because it is not connected to the
Internet"

Thank you in advanced for any advice!

Apple iPad Wireless, iOS 4

IP addresses starting with 169.254 are self-assigned IP addresses. Google that if you don't know what that means.


It doesn't matter if everything else still connects to your router. Do this. Unplug your modem and router from power. Power down your iPad completely or reset network settings if you're one of the thousands of customers who can't get to the "Slide to Power Off" screen. JUST NETWORK SETTINGS.


Plug in your modem and routers, wait until all the lights are on. Turn on your iPad (if you reset network settings, it's already on), try to connect again. Make sure you're using the right password.


This resolves this issue 99% of the time, so please, give it a try.


Now.


If WiFi is greyed out in settings, it is possibly a hardware issue, but to rule this out, make a manual backup of your iPad (just right-click on ipad under devices in itunes and choose backup), turn OFF AUTOMATIC SYNCING. For PC users, this is "Edit> Preferences > Devices" and then restore as new.


If after this, you still can't connect to wifi, it may be a hardware issue. but still call Tech support and have them run you through anything else, or take it to an Apple Store.

I had the same problem with both iPad & iPhone. Previous night all working properly on WiFi- then NOT connecting ,but showing network name and strong signal. I tried resetting network in settings, turning device off , turning wifi off then on again. Nothing worked. My laptop working fine on wifi-- then I turned off the router for a few seconds and bingo, iPad & iPhone working on wifi again
