Is strength of wifi important to attempting iCloud backup?

Even though my iPad says I need to back up to iCloud, I am unable to complete backup. My WiFi signal is quite weak where I am located. Could this be the reason backup can’t complete?

iPad, iOS 12

Absolutely it could be a major factor in your ability to backup. Either backup to iCloud when you have a stronger Wifi signal, or use your computer and backup to iTunes directly.
