[QUOTE="goddess_of_go, post: 1048503, member: 58436"] I have been having trouble with my wi-fi disconnecting at home. When I first got the iPad and connected to my network it was connected without a problem for a couple days. Then I went to the hair salon yesterday, and they gave me the password to their secure network so I logged in there. When I got home I was NOT automatically logged in my home network, and since then I have lost the connection a few times and been asked for the password each time to log back in. This is annoying because it is a random sequence of numbers and capital letters that came with the Verizon Fios installation. Pretty soon I should have it memorized, however. I looked at the wi-fi settings on the iPad, and I even read the relevenat parts of the manual. But I can't figure out how to get the iPad to remember the network. It is set to forget the network. I notice a button labeled "Renew Lease" which sounds like it might solve my problem, but nowhere can I find an explanation of what this button actually does. When I press it I get the choice to "renew" or "cancel". Since I don't know what it is actually going to do I hit "cancel". I'm tempted to just hit "renew" and see what happens, but I am wary. What is this button for? And should I press it? :-) Terri [/QUOTE]
