[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1833656, member: 396914"] Next time you are in the store, try this. Settings, Wi-Fi, Tap on the SSID and then Forget This Network. Then let it find the SSID again and select the network. It should default to DHCP but you can check that with Settings, Wi-FI, Tap the SSID again and look for "Configure IP" to be Automatic, and below that a valid IP from the router, plus the subnet mask the routers is using and the router IP number itself. It may take some time if the router is cheap and cranky. There are tools for the Mac that can show you all the available routers your Mac can hear, but I couldn't find the same thing for iOS.
