I can't get my Ipad or Iphone to connect to my wireless.
Does win 7 have anything to do with it?

That is a wireless router problem.

It has nothing to do with Windows 7. You connect your Ipad to the router.

What procedures have you tried so far?
Any "Error" pop up dialogs?

Nope, sounds like you need to go find a newsgroup and/or forum related
to Apple products, namely the iPad and iPhone. Neither of which are
Windows issues.

While a simple question, it was the wrong question to ask to aid in
solving the actual problem of not connecting to the wi-fi router, imho.

I have access to my wireless fine. Laptop connects Ok. Another Computermilt said:
connects ok.
When I try to access wireless from I pad or Iphone, it asks for password ,
Which I type in and know it is correct but
it replies "incorrect password"
Now, when I go to my daughters house, Ipad or Iphone connects Ok or When I
am on Golf Course, I connect toan open wireless OK.
I just thought there was some setting in my machine that was set wrong. I
have only been dealing with Computers since 1994
so thought someone on here might enlighten this old 81 year Old.
Thanks for your comments.

Reread the post from Heywood. Like Milt and Worn Out Retread, he is
correct, but he is a touch more informative, in spite of his nym.
You are trying to connect to the router, and Windows is just plain *not
involved* in that transaction. Well, it is true that you can get to the
router through Windows to do what I recommend next.
You need to do two things: look to see whether your router has MAC address
filtering turned on, and make sure you *really* have the correct username
and password - the ones the *router* is expecting. If MAC address filtering
is on, you need to tell your *router* to accept the iPhone & iPad's MAC
addresses.
BTW, MAC address, also called physical address, is an acronym for Machine
Access Control. It doesn't relate to any specific brand of computers
Also, as an aside: I don't recommend playing the age card...

Anway, I have the 2401 Att Wireless/Router.
Att sent me a message saying that my Router/Modem passwords did not match
and click next for them to reset password.
After several "next" pages they reset my password and gave me the new one.
My I phone now connects! Adios Amigos

I've had this problem on my iPod Touch and my iPhone occasionally. UsuallyMGCIS 1 said:
this works: on iPhone go into Settings, General, Reset, and reset Network
Settings. You will then need to log onto your router again with password.
If this doesn't work then I'd guess you have a problem with the router. You
may want to search on it as there are some routers that have issues with
iPhone and etc.
HTH,

You are trying to trip me up!
A few decades ago I restarted folk-dancing, and had a tee-shirt made up
with the obvious pun on my name and a picture of some folkdancers. It
turned out to be a self-fulfilling prediction.
I have some leg problems, so now I *do* stumble - but it doesn't stop me
from dancing...but I just *had* to put it in my sig
