Renewing and releasing the IP address of your iPad®

When you are having difficulty in connecting to the wireless network, you may not be getting a valid IP address from your router.  One such instance is when you are getting a self-assigned IP address such as an IP address which starts with 169 (e.g. 169.254.x.x).
 
To resolve this issue, you can renew and release the IP address assigned to your iPad® by the router using the Renew Lease function.  Follow the instructions below to learn how:

Launch a web browser (e.g. Safari®) and connect to a website to ensure that you are already able to connect to the Internet.
 
NOTE:  If you are still not able to get a valid IP address, tap Forget this Network and try to reconnect to renew your connection to the wireless network.
