Ipad wont sign in your wifi router, the 255.255.0.0 subnet mask

This was annoying. My Ipad connected to my wifi router, and signed in to 255.255.0.0 subnet mask, when it should've been class c 255.255.255.0. I lost almost a week of time finding out the solution. It's actually pretty simple.
Change to static IP, sign in to the appropriate class (class c is 255.255.255.0, refer to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network). Don't forget to put it the gateway (default is 192.168.1.1) and the DNS (probably the same, but you can use Google's at 8.8.8.8). That's it. Have fun.
