If you’ve just got your new iPad or iPhone running on iOS 11, one of the first things you’ll want to do is connect it to Wi-Fi. Fortunately, the process is quite simple, and in this guide, we’ll show you step-by-step how to do it.
Firstly, go to your home screen and locate the Settings icon. Once you’ve found it, click on it to open the Settings app. You’ll see a scrollable list on the left-hand side of your screen, and there are a few things to look out for here.
One of the most important things to note is that if you have airplane mode on, your Wi-Fi is going to be turned off, and you won’t be able to connect to Wi-Fi until you turn it off. Make sure to check that this little button isn’t green – if it is, press it to turn airplane mode off.
Next, you’ll want to look for the Wi-Fi area. This is where you’ll find all available networks that you can connect to. Press on the word Wi-Fi, and it will show you all the available networks on the right-hand side of your screen.
If you want to connect to a particular network, select it from the list and click on it. It will ask for the password, so make sure you have it handy. Once you’ve inputted the password, click on the join button, and if it’s correct, you’ll be connected to the Wi-Fi.
And that’s it! Just make sure that airplane mode is off, Wi-Fi is turned on, select the network, input the password when prompted, and click on the join button. Hopefully, this guide has helped you connect your iPad or iPhone to Wi-Fi with ease.
