my iPad says "cannot connect to server" but Settings shows that it is connected to Wi-fi. Another iPad with the same settings can connect to the server. I have switched my router off for 30 seconds and turned it back on but it hasn't corrected the problem

I have the same issue, but I do have a IP address , and still can not sign into my account. Still says unable to connect to server. HELP! please

I had the same problem.Over several days got this message "could not connect to server".

Tried some of the suggestions from the discussion including power-off but nothing worked.

Than took ipad to another location and signed it in on the different Wi-Fi there.

Yippee! Everything worked again.

And when I went back to home location iPad was working fine and accessed all sites as before.

Thank you. It solved my ipad problem

Hi Berry chaney. Try restarting the router.

If that doesn't help, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then reconnect to the network.

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.

Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.

Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.

This to be a router problem.

ive had the same for some time now. Very very annoying. But my son told me to change my DNS servers (iPad and iPhone) to Googles. I deleted the DNS that my router gave me automatically, and changed it to 8.8.8.8 which is Googles.

it seems to have worked.

Hopefully it will work for you.

if you want to go back to your router DNS, just 'forget this network' and then reconnect. Your old settings will be back.

Thanks, situation solved!

Restarting the router worked! Many thanks JimHdk.
