I have an iPad in Lost mode. I am unable to connect the device to our WiFi to get it out of Lost mode. Please help.

Best answer by braith

I've had some success sharing a network from my mac (in sharing under system preferences), but its hit or miss.

Try connecting it to Ethernet - many USB-C dongles 'just work,' and many USB to Ethernet adapters will work when connected to the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

This didn't work. I also tried connecting the iPad to my MacBook with Apple Configurator and that didn't work either. If I could get the iPad to connect to the WiFi I'd have no problem, but haven't been successful.

I purchased these for my team so they could do it on the go in the buildings and they have been a game changer for us!

Thanks. That's what I tried first, but just wouldn't connect for some reason. It usually takes care of it, just not this time.
