Hello
jmmilter - welcome to the forum!
Let's start w/ some simple suggestions and if these do not correct your problem then please post back to this thread.
1. Power recycle your modem & router (assume that you have both) - i.e. turn off (or pull the power supplies to those devices), then plug in the modem first followed by the router - give the iPad a try.
2. If not already done, re-start your iPad (i.e. press the on-off button, top right, until the slider switch appears, turn off the device and then on again w/ the same switch - basically re-booting a computer).
3. Re-set the iPad - hold the power & home button at the same time until the device shuts down (may take a while); then press the power button, the Apple logo will appear and the device will then start up again.
Again, if none of this works, let us hear from you again - good luck!
