Hello there,

I eat Apple(s) everyday ! It seems to be an efficient, cheap and easy way to prevent having cancer...
I also work (for free) in an elderly people organisation (teaching English) where a wifi connection is "special"... It works in "passive mode" (IPV4 & IPV6) i.e. a connection is not "automatic", that is "not as easy as usual". I have a MacBook already set for this type of connection with which I now have no problem.... I would like to connect my iPad mini (IOS 7) in the same way, using the same settings... but my problem is that the presentation being different, I just cannot make it ! Would anyone help me ?

Thanks,
Christian

Please explain what you mean when you say, "....but my problem is that the presentation being different, I just cannot make it !" Anyway, the iPad Mini will connect automatically to a Wi-Fi network that it has previously connected to unless you have enabled the "Ask to Join Networks" option or the Wi-Fi network has an feature that prompts you to login and agree to certain terms & conditions like many Wi-Fi hotspots do.
