Ipad 2 is no longer connecting to WiFi...getting message: could not scan for wireless networks. Have tried rebooting ipad, turning wifi on and off, rebooting router to no avail. Iphone is recognizing the wireless network, so that is not the issue. Help!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5)
Try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Tried that already unfortunately no luck! Thanks.
Reset all Settings? Ask to join known networks>Off? I'm just tossing out ideas.
Tried that as well, still can't find a wi-fi network. Thanks.
i am having the exact same problem?? can anyone help?
Copy your iPhone DHCP settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS) and enter it into your iPad Static page. Turn off your iPhone before you activate the settings on your iPad. Otherwise there will be a IP conflict.

I can't even get to this page on the ipad, because the ipad gets stuck on the previous WiFi network page at "Choose a network" so good idea but won't work.
Update: I trook the ipad to the Apple store and after they wiped everything out and reset it to the original setting, it still did not work. They offered to swap with another new ipad 2 for $250 but only offered a 90 day warranty not a one year, with no option to extend the warranty because my original had expired. No option to fix it from Apple. I wanted them to give me a one year warranty with the new ipad 2, like they do with a new purchase but they would not budge. So I did not go for it and now have a glorified ipod touch with no wifi option. Aaarrgghh, totaly bad apple store experience.
So bottom line is, if you have this issue you are out of luck and Apple will do nothing to fix it beacuse they cannot repair it and don't trust selling any more ipad 2's because they are worried they will find themselves in the same situation. I keep hoping that somehow one day, the ipad will work, but so far, nothing. Hope others are having better luck.
