How To Reset The Ipad's Wifi

Now that we've verified that all of the network settings are correct, it is time to start troubleshooting the WiFi connection itself. The first thing we'll do is to reset the iPad's WiFi connection. Usually, this simple step of telling the iPad to reconnect will solve the problem.

We can do this from the same screen where we verified the settings. (If you've skipped the previous steps, you can get to the correct screen by going into your iPad's settings and choosing WiFi from the list on the left side of the screen.) 

To reset the iPad's WiFi connection, simply use the option at the top of the screen to turn WiFi off. All of the WiFi settings will disappear. Next, simply turn it back on again. This will force the iPad to search for the WiFi network again and rejoin.

If you still have problems, you can renew the lease by touching the blue button to the far right of the network's name in the list. The button has a ">" symbol in the middle and will lead you to a page with the network settings. 

Touch where it reads "Renew Lease" towards the bottom of the screen. You'll be prompted to verify that you want to renew the lease. Touch the renew button.

This process is very fast, but it could correct some problems.

Before we start tinkering with some of the other settings, let's reset the iPad. This basic troubleshooting step can cure all types of problems and should always be done before you actually start changing settings. Resetting or restarting the iPad is simple and only takes a few moments to complete.

To reset the iPad, hold the Sleep/Wake button at the top of the iPad down for several seconds until a bar appears on the screen beckoning you to "slide to power off".

Once you slide the bar, the iPad will display a circle of dashes before finally shutting down completely, which will leave you with a blank screen. Wait a few seconds and then hold down the Sleep/Wake button again to start the iPad back up. 

The Apple logo will appear in the middle of the screen and the iPad will reboot completely a few seconds later. You can test out the WiFi connection once the icons reappear.
