my ipad wont join the network..why?

Hello, my son gave me his ipad and since I am a first time user I am at a loss as to why it wont join the network. I rebooted the router, (which by the way work on PC and lap top) reinstalled router, tried two other routers, and still I get the same two messages. Incorrect password, or, unable to join network. I really need to have this thing work. My son moved accross the country ths week and I really need to be able to face time him. Please any help will be appreciated. 🙂
