Ipad 2, ios 9.1: can not switch wifi on or bluetooth off

I am using an iPad 2 on WIFI via our home network. Since yesterday there is no internet connection anymore because the wifi is switched off whilst the bluetooth is switched on. In the settings I can change neither of the two any more, but all other functions work ok.


I have already tried switching airplane mode on and off, and syncing the iPad on our iMac, but there was no improvement.


How can I recover from this problem?

iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 7.0.4

Reset your network settings.

Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings

Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on this device.

  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings


If this does not help, restore your device to factory settings. Note that this will erase the data from your device.

Take a look this Apple Support article: Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.


As a final step, try the recovery mode. Turn your device off, then plug it to your computer with the home button pressed. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the iTunes logo on the screen of your device. After that on your computer you should see the iTunes window saying your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click on the restore button.
