How do I Connect iPad to printer ?

depends on the printer model....
if you have a recent type of printer with Airprint capability it is very easy to setup wireless.
however if you have an old printer with only a USB-cable you'll need another device to get it working:
Apple sells WiFi-devices like Airport-Express, Time-Capsule and Airport-extreme
Print command central.
The included USB port is great for sharing a printer throughout your wireless network. Time Capsule and the Bonjour networking technology let everyone in the house or office - Mac and PC users alike - take advantage of one centrally located printer.

My IPad is asking me for a password to connect to wifi

It would be the password that you use to connect your pc to your wireless network. If you have not changed it since you got your supplied wireless modem it will be on the bottom of the modem along with your user_ID. Or it will be in the documentation that came from your ISP. Hope this helps.

I have an hp tablet PC touch screen and I can't conected to the wireless at home. Can you help me

You'll want to connect with an ethernet cable to your router and open the configuration page (usually 192.168.1.1 or something similar - check your instructions) using your web browser. Check your instructions for default username and password. Once in the router configuration2_bing.gif utility, you'll have the opportunity to set your network name (SSID) and select the security you want. WPA is best (more secure than WEP, which is easily hacked). Enter your security passkey/phrase and save your configuration. Go to your wireless computer, search for available networks, find your SSID, click to connect, enter your passphrase and you should be good to go.

p.s. make sure that the router is broadcasting a compatible version that your wireless network adapter can accept: i.e. a computer with a wireless b/g network adapter can not connect to a wireless N network. If this is the problem, go into your router setup and change it to broadcast in b/g/n.

Did this resolve your issue? If so, please rate it. ty.
