Wi-Fi access using DLink DIR 615

I just bought my IPad this Saturday. Can't get Wi-Fi access using my DLink DIR 615 router at home. This router supports my brother's laptop w/no problem. My IPad works fine with other hotspots

IWill, Windows XP

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

A few things to try when having issues like this, in order of use:

1. Make sure the router firmware is up to date.
2. Reboot the router by full power off and on.
3. Reboot the iPad by full power off and on.
4. Reset WiFi on the iPad, Settings > WiFi > forget the network and then reinstall the network info by hand.

It is very important to check and make sure the router is using fully updated firmware, especially since you said you are able to connect at other hotspots.

Hope this helps.

Get the latest firmware for your DLink DIR 615 router at: http://www.dlink.com/products/default.aspx?pid=DIR-615&tab=3. Check the revision level of your router to assure that you get the correct firmware.

For a quick fix you might try restarting your router (power off, wait 30 seconds, power on) before attempting to re-connect.
