Connect to Wi-Fi

iPad · 5 steps

Online Version

1. 1

   Tap the gray gear picture on your screen

   It looks like a little silver gear or cog, and it usually says "Settings" underneath it.
2. 2

   Tap the words "Wi-Fi" near the top of the left side

   It's in the list on the left, next to a small set of curved lines stacked like a rainbow.
3. 3

   Tap the name of your home network in the list

   It's usually the name written on a sticker on the back of your internet box. Just tap it once.
4. 4

   Type the password, then tap the blue "Join" button

   The password is on that same sticker. Don't worry if it takes a try or two — you can always tap and redo it.
5. 5

   Look for the little fan shape at the top corner

   When you see the curved lines (like a tiny rainbow) at the very top of the screen, you're connected. All done!
