Problems with wi-fi on my iPad

[Edwin the Elder]

Now another problem.

My wi-fi reception from my Airport Express has never been good. It would drop the connection when I moved into the family room. When I upgraded the OS, it seemed to improve but lately seems about as weak as before.

Now it isn't working period. It sees my network, gives it 2 out of 3 in the signal strength, but when I try to connect I receive the message "unable to join the network."

The problem is not with the network. My Macbook has no problem.

I have tried powering down and rebooting with no success.

Any suggestions?

Maybe go into settings, forget it, then have your iPad find and reconnect to it?

Tried that. I've turned off wi-fi, synced my iPad, toggled on and off the "ask to join networks"

no luck.

There are settings I could go into, but I never did any of these before.

Weird

Problem seems to be solved. (i hope)

The problem may have been with the Airport Express.

I assumed my network was working because my Macbook had internet connection. Turns out it was using some unknown local network that was not password protected.

The Airport Express was showing a green light, but I powered it off and then on again. Things seem to be working for the moment.

Technology.
