why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2

I admit, I see why this has gone unanswered for so long. Calling those that are trying to help you 'magical smarty pants' isn't conducive to getting us to take it on. You're basically dissing the volunteers that are trying to help.

One thing you didn't mention doing was power cycling your router. Unplug your router, count to ten, plug it back in and try again.

Some things to try first:

1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

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

3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at

4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

5. 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

Unable to Connect After iOS Update - saw this solution on another post.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4010130

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.

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.

 Cheers, Tom 😉

Also have the same problem and all has been always OK before the 7.1.2 upgrade.

Unable to connect to my router using the correct wireless pin but can connect to the unpassworded 'Hotspot' that the router creates.No wireless pin used And auto connects

I Can see the router with full signal strength and the 'lock' icon.

The girl friend does not have any problems.

I have tried the things suggested that can be done with out effecting the girl friends connection.

Any further help please as now getting very frustrated with this.

it seems like every time apple comes out with a new update ti "fix" wifi connectivity issues they mess up, both my phone and ipad are having issues connecting to my apple airport extreme. this frustrates me to full extent!!!! what can apple do? nothing, oh do a factory reset, oh come in and we'll trouble shoot it for you....trouble shoot it from here so i don't have to drive 2 hours just to have apple send me home with the same issues.

I am able to connect to my home Wi-Fi but unable to connect to the internet, get mail, connect to facebook or access any online apps. I tried everything you suggested to no avail. I took my ipad to work and can connect to work's network and was able to update my apps but that was it. Still no email, internet access, facebook or online app. This is frustrating since I can't undo the update. On the evening of July 9th I was able to access everything at home and work. I update my ipad on July 10 and now I can only read existing ibooks and play games offline.

What else can I try to correct this issue?

Thank you in advance,

Lisa

Have you tried to power cycle your router? Unplug it, count to ten, plug it back in and let it boot up.

You may also want to look and see if there is any sort of software update available for your router. It's possible that doing a firmware update on your router could resolve things.

Thanks, but I have tried that several times. I am able to connect to my router and MacBook pro and imac can receive mail and connect to the internet fine. I am currently trying to restore my backup but since I have find my ipad turned on on my ipad I am unable to verify my iTunes account because it can not access the internet.

I have the same issue with my iPad today. It was working fine yesterday. I cannot connect to the internet. My wifi on my iMac works fine as does the wifi on my iPhone 5. I've reset the router, I've reset the network on the iPad, followed all the steps that the online apple support topic says. Still cannot get connected!

I have the same issue today too. Frustrating. I've restarted the router. re-set my network. tried a zillion things and still no wifi connection on my iPad 3. Wifi works on my macbook pro and my iPhone 5.

I have Ipad 2 and after updating IOS 7.1.2 I notice that Wifi is signal is lost time to time. Frustrating, only big companies are afford to do this kind of errors. I hope that Ios 8 will solve this problem? None of the fixes here hasn't help. I think that is quite big problem and we are not the only ones facing this issue. Do someone know if Apple has given any official statement for this issue?
