why will new iPad 2 not connect to internet even though it detects my wi-fi? It is frustrating to have looked forward to getting it so much & then not be able to use it right away.
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.2

Your iPad detects your WiFi, but does it actually connect to the network? Do you have any other devices on the network and can they connect to the internet?

yes, my MacBook Pro laptop, and another PC laptop and an iPod Touch have all been working successsfully wirelessly via my office desktop home network modem. I don't have a lot of understanding of how these things work as someone else set up home network for me. Any advice will be most welcome. I'm sure I just have to be patient till I get the right advice. Thanks
On your iPad go to Setting/Wi-Fi tap on the > symbol next to the name of your network. Which tab is highlighted? Probably DHCP. Please list the values to the right of IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS. With this information we should be able to determine if you are actually connecting to your network.
tab highlighted=ON; DCHP Highlighted; IP Address 169.254.238.195 ;Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0 ; Router nothing ; DNS nothing ; HTTP Proxy = Auto
It appears that your iPad is not properly connecting to your Wi-Fi. Go back to the settings for your network and tap "Renew Lease". If this works you should get an IP address that doesn't start with 169. and should get IP addresses in Router and DNS. If that doesn't work, click on "Forget this Network", then try connecting to your network again. You will have to re-enter any security passcodes again.
did that & got: IP 192.168.0.103
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.0.1
DNS 192.168.0.1
Should Airplane mode be on or off?
Still don't get internet. What next?
Airplane mode should be off. From your results, we can tell that you are now connecting to your network. So you are communicating to the router. Do you have another computer connected to this network? If so, check to see if that computer is can get to the internet.
Airport now off. Yup, this macbook pro is connected to internet now ok. We're getting somewhere!! What do I need to set now? and many thanks!
The next step is to check with the person that set up your router and ask them if your router was set up with MAC filtering. If I remember correctly some routers that have MAC filtering set on will let a device that is not on the list to connect to the network, but won't allow it connect to the Internet. You should also ask what IP range is set for dynamic assignment. We may need this information if we decide to use a static IP address.
If MAC filtering was not turned on, the next step will be power down you router for about 30 seconds. You may have to pull the power plug if you don't have a power switch. Then make sure your iPad connects to your network (your IP address starts with 192.168.0.
OK this just happened to me.
iPad2, iPhone4 both on WiFi. I had to move my router.
Then iPad2 would not connect to the router it kept on getting the 169....
Eventually I unplugged the router from the power outlet (SKY Netgear) and left it for a minute. Plugged it back in then all was well. Now the iPad is getting a 192 and connects no problem.
Very odd glitch, but it was just that. 🙂
That link is worthless for this problem. If one travels a lot iPad 2 has issues with joining new wifi networks.
Ihave the same issue. My Ipad 2 sees the nework but I get the message Unable to connect to the networ. This is my second Ipad2, the irst one the same thing happend and they finally sent me a new one. The seconed worked fine for about three weeks and now has the same issue. Non of the troubleshhot, reseting networks etc has helped.
This is a major issue with the Ipad's
If this has happened with two iPads it most likely points to a problem with your network.
If you provided some details on your router, i.e., make, model and version, security type used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), MAC Address filtering, etc. perhaps some help could be provided.
Hi I have been having the same problem all of a sudden it will stop working with the router it will connect but no internet - Last time i just reset the firmware HOWEVER ive had the same problem today and looked here and some one said turn your router off and on and that has worked for me :-) just take the power cable out for 60 secs so the router resets its self.
