Auntie gave baby her old iPad 2 for her birthday.
Mom couldn't get it connected to the WiFi in the house.
Dad couldn't get it connected to WiFi in the house.
I didn't find a quick easy solution that worked when searching the internet.
Problem is that our network is dual band 2Ghz/5Ghz with the same network name.
Most devices have no problem with this configuration.
Some iDevices apparently can't figure out how to connect.
My solution - Create a 3rd network with a different SSID. Most routers these days can support multiple networks or a main network and guest network.
Solution 2 - Separate both the 2Ghz and 5Ghz networks with their own SSID.
Solution 3 - Disable either the 2Ghz or 5Ghz network
Of course you need to know what you are doing with your router settings.
If you don't, just show this post to someone who does!
