Q: iPad shows that I'm connected to wifi in top left and in settings, but can't access internet. Help!
So here's what's happening. Right around the time iOS 8 came out my iPad started to say that it was connected to wifi but wouldn't let me access the internet(this only happens at my house. Everywhere else it works just fine). Then at random intervals it would grant me access back to the internet. A while later i had cracked my screen and sent it to my insurance company to be repaired. When i got it back, it was repaired with a new screen but at my house it would not give me those random intervals at all! I am now just flat out not connected to the internet on my iPad. All other devices and computers connect to the internet though, but my iPad doesn't.
iPad 4
iOS 8.2
Device management: Cisco Meraki (this is one of my personal suspects, but i need it for school)
Before I start getting suggestions, let me state what i have tried first:
Completely turning off the iPad and restarting it after 30 seconds
Resetting network settings
Rebooting router
Checking to make sure numbers are right in network settings
And also what i have singled out as NOT the problem:
The network DNS/Router setting starting with 169
Not being within range of the router
Simply a router that does not work
Incorrect numbers punched into the wifi settings
It being just Safari
Too low battery
Broken device
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
