Why won't my iPad use free Wi-Fi ?
I frequently find myself in areas where there is free Wi-Fi.
I go to settings and I see the available network with a checkmark next to it, correctly identified.
Others with me (using non-Apple products) are able to go onto Wi-Fi with no difficulty. However, my iPad stays stuck on the slow 3G.
When I am at home the iPad will automatically switch to my home Wi-Fi system that is password-protected. Were I have difficulties, are locations that have no password.
