I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Wireless.
Just for clarification, are you having issues connecting your Laptop up to your Wireless Connection? If so, please ensure that you are typing in your 'Wireless Key' or sometimes referred to as a 'WPA-PSK Key' in capital letters.
I hope this helps you resolve the problem that you are having

You can connect an iPad to your wireless network if you know the details of your network including the wireless key.
You can connect an iPad directly to a computer via the special USB cable supplied with the iPad.

Does the router show up in the list of devices the iPad can see? If not then you need to enter the details manually.

I don't know what you think is "locked".
Unless you or somebody else has tampered with the default settings of your Thomson router then you don't need to know anything about your router beyond the wireless network name (SSID) and the network password (key). Both of these should be on a label on the front of your router.
If the iPad were connected to your wireless network it might be possible to copy files from the iPad to another computer on the same network: I've never tried to do this.
As RPMoxley says, the simplest thing to do is to install iTunes on your computer then connect the iPad to your computer using the USB cable supplied. That should enable you to browse the content on the iPad and copy some of it to your computer, if that is what you are trying to do. No wireless involved.

I checked the settings on the ipad and they were the same as the router. So it should have been working.
What appeared to fix the problem was to login to the router (take a note of the wireless settings), disable the wireless, wait for a moment, and then re-enable it (making sure to use the same settings)
Then the ipad connected within a few minutes, (no need to further change any settings as they were all correct already).
Might be worth giving that a go if you feel up to it.

Quote from: salsa he wants email and internet.I tried again app store--put in password cap letters etc then get --unable to join the network "plusnetwireless" -ok
This does not sound right to me. Accessing the "App Store" requires that you have an internet connection. The message indicates that you don't have an internet connection because the wireless connection to your router is not functioning. Now that could be a router problem but I feel it is more likely because you are not setting up the wireless connection correctly in the first place. There is a very comprehensive set of instructions here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/connect-ipad-to-wireless-network/ . You probably only need to follow the first section. Just make sure you nominate the correct wireless network and give the correct password. Both of these should be on a label on your router. It's probably a WPA password which is case sensitive. if you have had your router for a few years you may need to update the firmware - but that's a whole other can of worms so lets hope it does not apply.

Are you using WEP security? If not have you tried using WPA2?
Can you also let me know what Model of Thomson router it is that you are using please?
