Connecting your iPad® to the Wi-Fi

The iPad® is developed for optimized media entertainment, gaming and communication. It gives you convenience through built-in Wi-Fi and touch screen features. Connecting your iPad to the internet is quick and simple. Follow the steps below to learn how.

Before setting up your iPad's connection, you have to take note of these information:

Wi-Fi name
Wireless security mode
Security key (password / passphrase)

NOTE: The Wi-Fi password is different from the router password. If you don't have your wireless settings, access your router's web-based setup page. To learn how to check your Belkin router's wireless settings, click here.

Step 1:
Press the Home button.

Step 2:
Tap User-added image

Step 3:
Tap Wi-Fi.

If the Wi-Fi status says Not Connected, toggle the Wi-Fi switch to the ON position.

Step 4:
Tap the Wi-Fi name of your router.

NOTE: If the iPad can’t detect your Wi-Fi name but your other devices can, try enabling and disabling the Wi-Fi feature of the iPad to refresh the list of available networks.

Step 5:
Enter the Wi-Fi password on the Password field and tap Join.

NOTE: If the Join button is grayed out after typing in the Password, this would imply that the password you entered is either incorrect or is missing some characters.

Your iPad should now be connected to your Wi-Fi as indicated by the check mark beside the Wi-Fi name. The number of signal bars shows the strength of the internet connection. However, it has no bearing on your network speed.
