Ipad Air

This is not an uncommon problem.

As described, and whilst perhaps counterintuitive, a simple restart of your WiFi Router will usually resolve the issue of a known-good network password being rejected by your iPad.

To restart your home router, disconnect power - then wait at least 30 seconds before restarting. When you router has rebooted (which may take several minutes), force-restart your iPad:

• On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
• On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Hi,

You are welcome.

I have another solution:

Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings (Pls see attached photo) This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.

Cool Regards

Hi,

Perhaps you can go to Settings - - > Wifi , beside your Wifi network, click on i and click on Forget this network. Then you click on your Wifi network again and key in your Wifi network’s password.

Hope this helps.

Cool Regards

Hi,

Have you tried to reset your Network Settings? I had given you the reset Network Settings instructions earlier.

Is your old password too long? Why don't try to shorten it to about 16 characters?

Hope to receive good news from you.

Cool Regards

In view of your difficulties, perhaps the simplest and most effective method of either resolving the issue - or determining that you have a genuine issue with your iPad - is to reset the WiFi Password on your WiFi Router. Having done so, you will be certain of the WiFi Password.

Next, (re)join your devices to WiFi using the WiFi Password you have just configured. In the unlikely event that the problem remains unresolved, you will have constructively isolated the problem.

Hi snorklebeak,

You are welcome, no problem, glad that your issue has been resolved.

Pls continue to give your support to Apple.

Have a good day :)

Cool Regards,
