My I Pad will not connect to my home network anymore

My I Pad will not connect to my home network as it has done for 3 years. I have a BT Home hub 5. It has connected with it up until last week. I have re-set the hub and the I Pad but it will not connect.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.


First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.


If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.


If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
