Q: ipad pro wont keep wifi connected

Just got a 12.9 Ipad pro (wifi and cellular) 128Gb

 

Setting up was a breeze and wifi worked well. Then I turned the ipad pro off.

 

next time I turned it on, wifi was off in the setting, I turned it on and it connected to my router, for about 1 min, kept on doing this, so I checked the internet to see quite a few having this problem.

I followed the ideas to solve it including making sure the switch to cellular was turned off and reset my network settings.

hey presto! the wifi then kept connected for hours, then I turned the Ipad Pro off.

 

next time I booted up...Same issue, wifi not staying on.

 

Surely there is a fix Apple for this, or do I have to keep resetting my network connections every time I use it? my Ipad air, ipad 2 and all other wifi enabled devices in my house don't have any issue with the router

 

If so, that's pants, from a supposedly better company than Microsoft for issues.

iPad Pro, iOS 10, wifi and cellular

    I had the same problem, but forgetting my network and joining it again seems to have solved it.

    Even though the 10.0.2 update does not specifically say anything about wifi connectivity, I noticed mine (iPad Pro 9.7 wifi only) seems to be staying connected to the wifi at work this morning.  Might be due to the reboot for the update, but if it's working, I'm not going to question it.

    Not for me, I'm on 10.0.2 and still when booting up the wifi is off.

    IF I turn on the wifi, it randomly switches itself off, however if I turn airplane mode first wifi turns on, I can then turn off airplane mode and wifi stays on until I switch off, then I have tp go through the palapa again

     

    seems to be a software coding issue
