Fixed my slow iPad Wi-Fi issue, here is what I found...

Thanks, Keith, your fix worked for me as well. I have a theory; after 2 years of connecting to wifi in perhaps 30 other locations, the machine just bogs down from all the logins and settings and sessions outside of the home network. I didn't check speeds, I just went to a graphic intensive site and it loaded in a blink vs. staring at the screen for 20 seconds for it to load. Thanks again!

I was getting very slow speeds. I tried restarting the iPad and then I would get fast speeds for about a minute, then very slow speeds again.

Then I turned off Bluetooth on the iPad and that seems to have somehow "fixed" the problem.

I have 100mp coming into my home, I can check the speed on my Mac & on my IPhone 7 & the speed goes between 50 & 103 which is good, yes? On my IPad , when checked it struggles to get above 1mp, any ideas? John

Again, it feels like this thread has been going on forever and Apple still haven't fixed this problem yet. I bought a new-generation iPad (model MP2F2B/A) and I think I've been having the same problem. We switched to a new BT Homehub 5 from a Homehub 3 a week or so after I bought the iPad because there was something flaky with the wi-fi- anything without a wired connection to the router kept losing internet. I also think we use an ADSL too, though what kind I don't know. However since then my iPad frequently gets incredibly poor speeds: while everything else gets a good (for copper cable) 14up/1down, my iPad will usually struggle to get more than 0.5up and often nothing down at all: streaming apps like Netflix and Youtube will just say there's flat-out no connection and ordinary websites take forever to load, if they load at all before the connection timing out. Running speed tests shows that it either initially connects at the top speed, but drops down precipitously a few seconds later, or just never gets higher than 1.5 Mbps. Resetting the iPad or deleting cached data sometimes helps but never for long. I'm quite frustrated, as I just shelled out more than £300 for this tablet and I can't even use it in my own home anymore. I'm not very good with computers (which is why I buy Apple products 😉) so I don't really know how to fix this, even with the advice in this thread. I just thought adding another instance of this happening, with a new iPad and a new router, might help build a bigger picture of how to fix this permanently in future.

Wow. Killing the apps on my iPhone caused its speed to go from 16.11 Mbps to 27.12 Mbps. Thanks. I had the opposite problem where my iPad speed was high and my iPhone speed was low. Your advice fixed it.
