If you haven’t already, make sure Wi-Fi is enabled on your iPad. In situations like these what options do you have if you want to surf the internet on your iPad and you’re away from your fast, secure and reliable home network? For the sake of argument, we are going to assume that your iPad is a Wi-Fi only version, but the process is the same regardless which iPad you own.
In addition, there can be privacy concerns, not to mention overloaded networks that easily become more trouble than they’re worth in the first place. However, for the most part, coverage is generally spotty and/or intermittent on free public Wi-Fi networks. There are more and more free Wi-Fi hot spots available to us than ever before.
