How to Connect an iPad 2 to a Wi-Fi Network
Before you are able to connect to a wireless network from your iPad 2, you will need to know the name of the network to which you wish to connect, as well as the password that is needed to access that network. Once you have this information, follow these steps to connect your iPad to a wireless network. Once you have connected to Wi-Fi on your iPad 2, you should check out the wireless sync feature. Step 1: Tap the Settings icon.
Step 2: Select the Wi-Fi option at the top-left corner of the screen.
Step 3: Tap the name of the Wi-Fi network to which you wish to connect from the list at the right side of the screen under Choose a Network.
Step 4: Type the password for the network into the Password field, then tap the Join button.
Step 5: When you return to the Wi-Fi menu screen, you will note that the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected has a check mark to the left of it.
