iPad not connecting to home WiFi

One of the real easy things to do is to power down the Belkin, wait thirty seconds and power up again.

It must be a common trouble. I use Verizon, and often I need to turn off the modem, turn it on again, and then join my wifi. Often I need to repeat tapping on my wifi password + join process until it connects. Eventually it does.

What security setting are you using? I have heard that the iPad doesn't like WEP very much. That's good because the hackers really like WEP.

hi all im also having issues with my ipad not now working on wifi at home but is was before.
i also have a belkin router and my laptop has no problems on wifi just my ipad.
i took into my local apple store in solihull that got the wifi up and running straight away .
this made me feel as if id not been telling the truth and told me to go home and unplug router and try again .
iv done all which iv read so far but now had suggested i buy a new router when does this end the costs just go up and up and what if i do that and still no wifi please help someone desperate lady needing help.thanks all

What model Belkin router do you have?

Does it have the latest firmware? Check the Belkin support web page at: Belkin Firmware Updates

What security type is being used? WEP, WPA, WPA2 (WPA2 is recommended)

If it supports 802.11n it may only implement a draft version of the 802.11n standard.

I have the same problem at home with my Uverse modem. I frequently (often several times in one session) have to go and hit "Renew Lease" in the network setting to restore it. Restarting the modem fixes the problem temporarily, but it returns pretty quick. FWIW Uverse uses WPA not WEP.

Hi, same problem here (France, Grenoble) My MacBook Pro get the wifi but not the ipad. After the choice of the network i enter the wpa then it says "unable to join the network". Everything works fine until a week ago. My adsl provider has no clue! Restart the router does not work.

That's a freebie from ATT, right? Those are junk. Get yourself a $30 router at BestBuy.

Clearly, it is an entirely different problem. Please start your own topic to discuss if changing the channel on your router doesn't help.

Funny. With the exception of the units running iOS, it orks fine with all my other Apple (and non-Apple) products.

I have exactly the same problem. I have identical settings on my iPhone and iPad, and I never have had to renew the lease on the iPhone, but pretty much every time I want to connect the iPad I have to renew the lease before connecting. Never any problems with my iMac or MacBook pro or the work laptop (Lenovo running Windows). Only the iPad has this problem. I use a really good router from Billion, so this is not a cheapie. Can this be anything but an iPad problem?

im having the same problem as everyone eles my ipad worked fine about two weeks ago i was able to get online n go into the app stores. now i have no wifi the ipad wont accept my password. i bought a $50 netgear router n im still having the same the problem i think it is safe to say its not the routers its the ipad its a joke i will never buy another apple product again

Hi all got my connection sorted now folks it was great of you offering help your all wonderful and big thanks to you all. My problem was my darling other half had changed my password for wifi connection so all sorted now and hope the rest of you with issues get them sorted thanks again xxxx

I have a BThome hub and although on the ipad it is showing its connected to the homehub , i can not get onto the internet. The Ip address does start with 169.....what can i do to fix?
also when i try and log into the applestore it comes back with not signed in - probably related . Help
thanks
