"Issues Connecting to WiFi after factory resetting iPad Gen 4: I upgraded to a newer iPad and I wanted to reset my old iPad Generation 4 with IOS 10.3.4. After reseting it, I tried to set it up but I get 'Unable to join the Network' error. I have an iMac and the newer iPad both connected to the same network."
