Ipad won't work on CG wifi

Was at a state park (La) this weekend, but my mini ipad wouldn't find the camp signal. When I asked the ranger, he said that ipads won't work on their network, but didn't know why. Probably a stupid question, but just wondering if that's normal? Gonna take a long trip in August and was hoping to take my ipad instead of laptop.
  • wifi is dependent not only on the signal you get, but the signal you send back to the router. An Ipad mini may not, if the park has a poor signal, be able to penetrate the camper wall and have the router "see" you return. There is no reason it should not work, although computers generally have a stronger return, If you can get on with you iphone you should be able to get on the network with you ipad mini. If you can find out where the aerial or the router is take the mini closer to it.

    I agree unless the iPad has been placed into 'airplane' mode or the wifi setting has been otherwise turned off.

  • That sounds a little strange to me. I guess I'll just "subscribe" and get schooled.

    Anybody?
