Bill, You're too funny! No need to learn the "mother-in-law blues."
"Ask to join networks" is on. I'm sure I'm using wifi at home - my iPad is wifi only. Recently I couldn't access wifi at McAlister's, now that you mention it. I cannot connect to my mother-in-law's wifi with my MacBook, either. At least that has a lot more settings to check. I have to use an ethernet cable to get into her system. I have tried shutting down both the iPad and iPhone and restarting to no avail. My husband's iPhone is synced to his PC, while my devices are all synced to my Mac. Is it possible there is a setting in the router that rejects anything Mac related? My brother-in-law, who is a devotee of the dark side, set it all up. Any other ideas? Thanks!
