Unable to connect to the Internet with ipad.

Happy New Year to Everybody.

I was lucky to be given by my lovely Wife a ipad for Xmas.

Does my ipad connect to the internet through the AirPort Wireless Communication on my iMac or do I need a wireless capable router so the ipad connects through the router.
I get the message "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" even if my ipad shows the wifi is connected.

Hi Andy

As far as I know, only through a wi-fi router. Looks like you have to setup your own wi-fi capable router or park by a open wi-fi hot-spot.

Bests of luck

Hi Bruce.
Thanks for the help. I took my ipad down to the local Library with a free wi-fi hot spot and ipad connected quickly to the network so I could do the internet thing.
Next I will sort the wi-fi router.
Cheers

Glad to know I helped a fellow iPad owner.

Have a good Sumer
