Q: iPad 9.3.5 // 5ghz network shows up but tells me wrong password

I can connect fine with my Mac Mini as well as my MBA but my iPad 2 Retina gives me the proverbial finger when I try to connect to that frequency. This device can connect fine to a 5ghz network and did fine on 9.3.4. Since, the update, I'm told my password is incorrect (which is crap, I might add). Anyone know how to solve this?

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 9.3.5

Hi. Try resetting the network settings, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then connect again. Also try restarting, hold Sleep until Slide to Power Off appears, power off, then hold Sleed again until Apple appears.

    Thank you for replying, Diana.   I'd already accomplished step two before you commented but did try the first step you suggested. Sadly, neither of them worked. Though it might easily help someone else as I've seen this suggestion in other forums.

    Try to reboot your network:

     

    1. Unplug both modem and router (if combined into one unit, unplug the single unit)

    2. Plug in/boot the modem first, allowing one minute or so to stabilize

    3. Plug in/boot the router second, allowing one minute or so to stabilize

    4. Try to access your network again with the device

     

    If no luck, try forgetting the network under Settings/Wi-Fi, tap the blue-circled "i", then tap "Forget This Network". Now reconnect to your Wi-Fi network again with the proper Wi-Fi password.
