Mifi connection.

[davechili]

I cannot get my new Ipad to connect to my verizon Mifi. Any suggestions?

Mifi works, and is used with other computer. Ipad recognizes , but does not connect.

I don't use a mifi, but I presume it will be like a router, maybe you need to tell it to allow access for the ipad

For example, my broadband router, if I tell it anyone can see it, anyone can see it, but they can not connect to it until I tell the router that the device is allowed or set it so that anyone can connect

I'll just offer the usual advice for iPad vs router problems.

Turn off the Mi-Fi. On the iPad go to Settings > General > Reset and Reset All Network Settings.

Restart the iPad while you are at it.

Turn the Mi-Fi back on and try to connect again.


Good luck.

Thankyou, took me awhile to find Reset (hidden below border) , but it seemed to do the trick.

No problem. I'm glad it worked.
