iOS 7 and Bluetooth keyboard issues

After upgrading to iOS 7 on an iPad 2, my Logitech ultrathin keyboard will no longer type alphanumerics into my school's secure WiFi login/password network page (but does function properly in other applications/pages). Every single key seems not to function on the WiFi login page (only) except for the upper left hand "home" button, which allows you to toggle away from the login page. In order to login to secure WiFi, I must turn off Bluetooth to disable the Logitech keyboard and bring up the iPad on-screen keyboard, login to the secure WiFi, then turn on the Bluetooth again in order to gain use of the Logitech keyboard. And I must repeat this process regularly because the secure WiFi times out after several minutes of inactivity. This problem did not exist with iOS 6. Very inconvenient. Please help.

One more solution if all others above-mentioned haven't helped you out:

Holding either of these key combinations for more than five (5) seconds will clear the memory slot and you will have to pair the keyboard again with a device.

Fn + 1 (Blue)

Fn + 2 (Purple)

I suppose this enables Belkin to well 'forget' you device and re-connect it.

Had to set up multiple iPad/Keyboards, put them too close together, had multiple keyboards show up on a device, long story short, paired the wrong keybaord to the ipad in question, did FORGET DEVICE and then nothing worked after that. BLUETOOTH would not see the keyboards any more.

Did the Fn+1/Fn+2 for five second thing, didn't work. There was no little button, needle size hole, anything that would allow to pair.

Looked on the keyboard for a second and found that the new belkin keyboards have a "<...> Pair" button just to the left of the backspace key. Held down Fn+<...>Pair for about 3 to 5 seconds, and whalla. Was able to then see the keyboards and appropriately pair the [correct] keyboard to the [correct] ipad.

thanks that worked for me too - had forgotten that pairing button was there! All sorted now.
