    First of all, have you tried disabling the wifi on the ipad. Then turning it back on an trying to connect.

    if that doesn't work, you could try to reboot the ipad.

    If the ipad finding the router, but just not connecting to it, or is something else happening ?

    ithingies are notorious for losing wifi
    Try:
    Reboot router
    switch wifi off on ithingy, reboot and switch back on
    connect ithingy to computer, backup and do a itunes restore.

    Have you changed any setting in your wifi router setting?

    I would suggest that you delete Wifi network connection
    Reboot wifi router
    Reboot your iPad.
    And add back your wifi network again. (on the iPad check if you are obtaining an IP address)

    ive got an ip address in the settings page and its recognising the router but not connecting
    the only change i can think of is that the ipad did an automatic software update a few hours before it went weird.
    ive noticed that its not charging up either ive had it plugged in for ages.

    Can you verify which version of IOS are you running?
    What is your iPad model? Air, Mini?

    Assuming you've updated to iOS 9 and your iPad is a WiFi and Cellular model it could be linked to a new feature: "Wi-Fi Assist".

    See: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/09/16/how-to-wi-fi-assist-ios-9/

    When your iPad detects a weak Wi-Fi signal it'll drop to Cellular (where available).
