Cannot join Wi-Fi Network on iPad 2

This is the third time I have had this problem since I bought my ipad about 6 months ago. What happens is that every time there is a software update my ipad will refuse to connect with any Wi-Fi networks. It will usually be disconnected for about a week and I cannot remember how I fixed it last time. I have updated the software (via the computer), tried turning the iPad on and off again, restarted the modum while the iPad was turned off, done a full system restore, 'reset network settings' and checked my iPad access point. I know this is not a problem with my internet modum because every computer in our house is working; even our second iPad 2 is working fine (it has never had any problems like this). Can anyone recommend anything else I can try?

Additional things to try.


Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.


Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.


Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html


Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I have this EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

Does anybody know how to fix this? Please, it's ridiculously annoying.

I notice that you have started a new discussion on this.


You are replying to a thread that has been dormant for seven months. You are unlikely to get any answer here.


In your new thread please state what make, model, and version WiFi router that you are using. Give any details you know about how your network is configured and any troubleshooting that you have tried.
