If your mac and iphone are connecting it's unlikey to be a problem with the router. If you've got a password access make sure it's typed in correctly. I pretty much always have to re-do mine because of a mis-type.


You could also try resetting your network settings (Settings > General, then tap Reset > Reset Network Settings) Then try to find the network and join it.

Okay, other options:


Re-sync the iPad


Reset (Hold down the power button and home button until the apple icon appears, about 10 seconds)

This wont delete any of your stuff, don't worry.


Update/Restore your iPad from an iTunes backup - Especially if you've been able to connect wirelessly before hand.


If none of that works, put in a call to Apple support. You should have a free 90 day telephone support option when you got it.


And let me know if you get it fixed!

Thanks for all the options you gave me but they didn't work, however when looking at the network settings on all my devices iMac, iPod Touch and iPad the iPad had a different wrong IP address How could this of happened???? Any ideas?

The good thing is though by turning off Airport on my iMac shutting down and restating the correct IP address has been assigned to my iPad now and all is working great.
