iPad 4 connects to WIFI; iPad 2 won't.

I've recently changed passwords to connect to the school's WIFI. My iPad 4 connects just fine, but my iPad 2 keeps giving me the "incorrect username or password" error message. I've typed it in several times S-L-O-W-L-Y to make sure I wasn't mistyping the new password. Even tried the old password "just in case".

Nadda.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Lisa

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.2

Some things to try:


Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.


Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)

• Launch Settings app

• Tap on Wi-Fi

• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
