IPAD WIFI GREYED OUT AND SAYS NO WIFI

I had the same problem with my unit. Took it to the apple store to discover that the iPad was only broadcasting for a,b networks. The g,n were not working do to hardware issue, wish was causing the same issue u are having. The unit does not need to be on the AppleCare. They will help u. Remember this is APPLE, they are always there for you.

It's probably due to a hardware malfunction, but try resetting your iPad by holding down both the Home and Lock buttons until the device restarts (ignore the power slider,) when it restarts, see if it can connect to WiFi.

If it doesn't, schedule an appointment at your local Apple Retail Store by typing in <location> Apple Store into a search engine.

I had this same thing happen to me with an iPad awhile ago, they'll either order in a new iPad or give you one on the spot, in and out.

I was under the impression that wifi that's purchased here in the States will only work in Canada and North America, and that when you travel outside of these areas, say to Europe, you need to purchase wifi there, which is much more expensive and limited, as in megabytes rather than gigabytes.

wow your no help. just say nothing next time. k bud

I had a similar problem with mi iPhone 4s I don't know if this may works in your iPad but it works in my iPhone ,I restore the iPhone in iTunes using the latest iTunes ,I set it up as new phone I checked the wireless and it wasn't. Working yet ,so I let the battery die completely . When the iPhone was ready To use I check the Wireless icon and it was ok again ,the grey out color was gone and the Internet Was working againg and off course I set the Internet up Before to used it ,Just to remark turn the iPhone off will not work ,let the battery die.

Go to the iPod home screen-----> tap settings-----> Tap the first option at the top which is "Wi-Fi"-----> Look at the box that says "choose a network..."-----> tap the network you are looking for and then enter a password if you have one set to that connection. If no password is needed it will then show a check next to the one you picked confirming the connection.

Try rebooting: hold home and lock button until logo appears. Ingore red bar.

If you can, if your software is 5.1 or below, update software to 5.1.1.

Note that this may be due to a hardware problem.

Thanks for sharing

that was actually very helpful considering that the link provides troubleshooting and would narrow it down to hardware if all the steps followed dont fix the issue

I recommend making a new discussion if you have a question regarding WiFi, as this thread is a year old.

Don't comment if no help!

@peggy... Wi-Fi is the same everywhere. You will not be able to use the 3G unless you have the GSM version, in which case you can buy a local pre-paid SIM card.
