First, presumably your WiFi network is connected to the Internet right? However, even if so, 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 "i" 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). Do not reset your router. 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.


If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

I have macbook & iMac that is all connected to one network,and they all working fine.I just notice this iPad mini couple of days ago and i never have this issue before.It also acts weird whenever I'm trying to log in to my iCloud.Like what happen to my iPhone before,It always says INVALID PASSWORD but what exactly is trying to say is that I AM NOT CONNECTED to internet.


So i did reset,forget this network and follow some dude thru internet.Hope all this remedy works.



Thanks
