–from Apple Support Communities
Are you feeling frustrated with the problem that can't get the new iPad 3 to connect to Wi-Fi? In the article, I would like share the specific steps and some troubleshooting tip, which can make it fixed.
Traditional guide:
1. Select "Wireless networks" after tapping the "Settings" on the iPad 3 home screen.
2. Choose a network you prefer to connect to
3. Input the login details, then you can access to the Internet.
If still can't get the iPad 3 to be connected with Wi-Fi, you can go on the following steps to make it fixed:
Tap "General", then "Reset" in the "Setting" option or click "Reset Network Settings".
Restart iPad 3.
Anyway, you can refer to some tips from Apple support page like:
Verify whether the Wi-Fi router firmware is updated one.
Adjust screen brightness
Check to see if your screen brightness is set to the lowest level by going to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper. If brightness is at lowest level, increase it by moving the slider to the right and set auto brightness to off.
Note: Brightness control in the iBooks application can also be used to adjust brightness.
Renew IP address
In some larger wireless networks it may be necessary to renew your IP address. Renew your IP address using the following steps:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi
Locate the Wi-Fi network you are currently using and tap
Tap Renew Lease
If the issue persists, try turning Wi-Fi to Off and then to On.
