Reread the post from Heywood. Like Milt and Worn Out Retread, he is
correct, but he is a touch more informative, in spite of his nym.
You are trying to connect to the router, and Windows is just plain *not
involved* in that transaction. Well, it is true that you can get to the
router through Windows to do what I recommend next.
You need to do two things: look to see whether your router has MAC address
filtering turned on, and make sure you *really* have the correct username
and password - the ones the *router* is expecting. If MAC address filtering
is on, you need to tell your *router* to accept the iPhone & iPad's MAC
addresses.
BTW, MAC address, also called physical address, is an acronym for Machine
Access Control. It doesn't relate to any specific brand of computers
Also, as an aside: I don't recommend playing the age card...
