Thanks mike. I guess I should have said 'reboot' in my initial post rather than restart. Yes, I rebooted several times to get the opportunity to enter the security password. This pad does not have cellular capability so when wi fi is gone, it is disconnected. It certainly used to connect to other networks, but I haven't checked lately. I was beginning to think that the pad was retaining wifi connection, but today it is again back to disconnected, still with the blue check indicating that it is connected. The only difference from several days ago, is that the password on 'client ID' is still showing. I had assumed that the showing password was somehow involved in the wifi retention. I have considered 'forget your WiFi', but I don't know where to get the ssid. I suppose it is built in but I don't understand this stuff that well. Edit for addition: OK, I got brave (or could have been stupid) and 'forgot the network' and at least for the time being, the pad is reconnected. It was easy to reconnect because my regular network was still waiting for me to re choose it and it immediately asked for the password and I was properly connected. The password isn't showing in 'client ID'. Perhaps it was never the appropriate place to add it anyway!? I do see a couple of possible differences in the settings that I wrote down if things didn't work. There may have been a difference in the DNS setting (whatever that is) (or it might have been a hand written typo on my part) but the new setting's last 7 chars are now 171.2.226 and I scribed 172.2.226. And under the area of HTTP Proxy (whatever that is), OFF is highlighted, and before there was a space below where it said URL. Was it waiting for some website? So, for the time being, things are in order. It took 2.5 days to lose the network the last time, so we'll see.?!

CRV/;d&*@2è4ty7w1l”k*&/ ok—practice above! I haven’t been holding down for a second, so that seems to be helping. Actually like the feature, just consistently doesn’t work for me. I need to perfect my technique. Thanks to you both.

I use Google Drive, both at home on my iPad and on my work laptop. It is very user friendly. At school I have a paperless classroom and all of my teaching material is in folders on my Google Drive, which I then pull up and add to my Google Classroom. My students all have Chromebooks. Check out the app and see if it will suit your needs.

Spanish, there's nothing in Settings with that info. I found iCloud and no option to do anything. Maddie, I've thought about linking the devices but so far no need to.
