Nov 28, 2013 8:04 AM in response to csds1972by Phil0124,Can you explain a bit more what your setup is like?
Do you have one of these devices? http://www.uscellular.com/mobile-hotspots/index.html
If so, can your iPad find it? What happens when you attempt to connect?
Give as much detail as possible about your setup so that we can help you out.

Dec 1, 2013 3:49 AM in response to Phil0124by csds1972,I have the older hot spot. The iPad keeps asking me for a password for my hot spot and I don't know it. How do I find that out? That is keeping me from going any further.

Dec 1, 2013 10:19 AM in response to AmishCakeby csds1972,Just tried it. Didn't work. I get to where it shows the "Choose a Network..." It shows the connection is secure, but does not give me the option to put in the password for the Hot Spot. It also shows "other" and "Connect to iTunes". I can't get pass this page.

The list should look something like this:
If you tap on the name of the network, then it should attempt to connect and ask for a password.
If it does not ask for a password, try tapping on the blue I in a circle to get the connection properties, and then tap on "Forget This Network". Then try to connect again. It should bring up a box asking for the password.
As to where to find the password, the hotspots usually have a default password setup. Usually it can be found in the user guide or quick start guide that comes with the hotspot.
