Hello and thank you for asking your question, with JustAnswer.com/Mac. I am Sr. Mac Tech Support Specialist, Terry, glad to assist you.

When you say you cannot access the Wifi on your iPad because it has a different Sign-in address, is that address you are referring to, the Apple ID?

so when you go into the Settings> Wifi on your iPad, does it still show your wireless network name for your home/office wireless network?

No worries

here is what I recommend you try:

From within the Settings of your iPad

click on General

then click Reset

let me know when you are the Reset screen

Now locate and select Reset Network Settings

press the red button that appears -this is going to reboot your iPad

and that is fine

let it reboot back to your main window on your iPad

sorry you are right

that is ok

do it

your iPad when rebooting will re-discover your wireless network with no issue

once you have rebooted and are back up to the main screen, let me know

Ok now go back into Settings >Wifi

when you do, make sure to select your network name

if it is already selected and you click it, you should be prompted

to enter the password XX your wireless network

go ahead and enter that password XXX then try to access the Wifi by launching Safari

and the password XXXXXX came up and you did attempt to enter your network password?

what type of network do you have - is it a native windows wireless network, or a mac wireless network

how many PCs?

(if I may ask)

and are both wirelessly connected or hard-wired (via Ethernet) to your Qwest modem (or router)?

(I am going somewhere, with this line of questioning)

and I take it the laptop is wireless right

and which of these computers are you currently chatting with me on?

thanks for confirming that

are you by chance, near you laptop

and is it currently connected wireless to the same quest network you are trying to connect your iPad to?

Ok- now Qwest (forgive my memory) is DSL - correct?

or is it cable?

The reason I am asking here, is because if you are unable to access the wireless network from another computer, this would mean the issue here

may be not with your iPad

but the password XXXXXXXXXXXXXX getting you into your Qwest network wirelessly

in layterms- your network password XXX be wrong

I happen to have a mixed network in my home office, consisting of Macs and PCs

when I try to access my wireless network on my iPod Touch for example - and I cannot get on

but I can on my Toshiba laptop (wirelessly that is)

this means I have to re-check my network password

in order to be able to join my iPod Touch to the same wireless network my Toshiba laptop is currently wirelessly connected to

typically the problem is due to me not entering my correct network password

this is what I am trying to check with you

if you are able to connect wireless with your PC laptop but not the iPad

THEN the issue may be with the iPad's ability to connect via Wifi to your network

are you saying the quest network name is XXXXXX XX differently (in the iPad's Setting >Wifi screen) than the way it originally was created, correct?

have you ever gone into the administrator settings of your Qwest modem to check settings or reset your network password (for example)?

That is a question I cannot answer at this moment

I would have to research the type of qwest modem you have

and how it is configured

That I believe, will be a good start, because they should be able to reset your password XXXXXX and adjust the settings to allow you access (wireless) to your network

this is definitely not your fault

I have seen this before
