Works great with iPad every single time. Have not had a single instance of having to re-pair. Uses Bluetooth. Wifi not necessary. My son actually broke mine and I immediately bought another one. Can no longer live without it.

Hi Lou, the keyboard is very easy to pair with iPad through Bluetooth. You don't need wifi to use the keyboard. The downside is that with regular use (in 6 months time) the keyboard materials outside and inside have become tattered and unglued. I would not recommend this keyboard if you need something durable for everyday use. I just bought an iPad Air and will be purchasing a different brand of keyboard. Belkin comes highly rated.

The keyboard is bluetooth. In you settings you can sync the keyboard to your ipad without any issues. I have not seen the board and ipad use a cord between them but I will assume if that is what yo want to do then get a 5 point connector for the iPad and a mico USB adapter for the board and try to connect them that way? Hope this helps.

This drive is Bluetooth, so it does not require a wireless network. You need to turn on Bluetooth on your iPad but it should work anywhere.

From time to time this keyboard doesn't connect automatically. My suggestion is to make sure the keyboard is first paired.Then normally, turn on the iPad & Bluetooth on the iPad first then turn on the keyboard. If it does not connect immediately, press the pair button and it will then connect.

There should be a switch right by charge outlet. You need to change it first thing then pair it like you would a bluetooth by looking for it in the wifi on your iPad wireless settings

um, im not very good with tech stuff, but when i got the case with the keyboard i turned it on. i clicked the button at the end of the right side of the very top row <...> i have no idea what it is, but i think its the wifi button. idk i always mess with it. the most important part is to go to ipad settings and go to bluetooth. i turn it off and then back on. it should search for devices. and if found it should say bluetooth wireless keyboard. then click connect, and it should tell you to imput some numbers.

First make sure your iPad is updated with the latest software. In Settings, there should be an option for Bluetooth, located in the same area as Airplane Mode and Wi-Fi. If it does not show up there, check in General. If none of these offers you the Bluetooth option, check the Apple website for information on you iPad generation. Good luck!

I don't think there is any Bluetooth connectivity here. My iPad does not see it. My iPhone 4S does not see it. There is no Bluetooth symbol or sticker on the speakers anywhere. I'm not sure what the item description: "Superb gaming sound effects via Bluetooth,DBB to preserve low tones for deep bass at any volume level." is referring to. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has connected to it themselves as it would be useful to have my iPad oriented horizontally (for movies) and still use the speakers (undocked).

I don't know if you are using an iPhone, but if you are that is your problem. For some reason IOS will not connect via bluetooth, you have to use a wifi connection.

It is the sync button for your Bluetooth. You put your ipad in discover mode and push the round button to sync them.

if your computer haS Bluetooth and your iPad you just need to sync it I'm just not a hundred percent sure

All ipads come with built in wifi. What you dont get is a GPS if you buy the wifi only model. If you get the 4g model you get wifi + Gps. I did not know this when I bought my ipad3 without 3g so i had to buy an external gps to connect via usb to my ipad and use it for navigation purposes while flying an airplane. While driving a car using maps you will need 3g to get the maps data while moving

Did you turn your blue tooth on the iPad? When you do, leave it up and then turn the keyboard on at the top right hand corner. You should see a blue light come on for a second on the top right. After that press the button at the top of the keyboard where the wifi emblem is watch to see if the keyboard name shows on the IPad. Then choose the keyboard name it should take a second but it should show up connected. If it doesn't try pushing that button at the top of the keyboard again. I has to figure out to turn the keyboard on when it didn't work for me:) unless there's something wrong it should work. Did you turn your blue tooth on the iPad?

As the others said, you will not need internet access for this to work. It does not have Bluetooth, but you will connect via wifi.

From my understanding it will not hook up directly to your iPad. You would need to use a computer like a laptop to send the WiFi signal to it but that however requires separate software altogether. So not it will not by itself.

It's not Bluetooth, unfortunately. It's a wireless USB mouse; as far as my knowledge goes, it doesn't work with ipads.
