My wife's iPad Pro fails to stay connected to WiFi at home (we've got Airport Express 802.11) Hi, My wife's iPad Pro fails to stay connected to WiFi at home (we've got Airport Express 802.11). My MacBook, both our iPhones and even old iPad 3 connect OK. Tried to reset the iPad, reset networks, took it out of home to connect to other wifi, where it worked flawlessly. What can I do to fix it or find out what's wrong?

iPhone SE Wi-fi and self assigned IP Hi there. I have had the same phone for 10 months, the same router for 24 months, the same fibre provider (BT) forever. my phone in the last 2-3 weeks has developed an issue where it constantly drops off the Wi-fi. Then it will show it’s on the Wi-fi in the Wi-fi screen, but not actually be connected. We have 3 other iPads newer and older which do not have this problem and a slightly older iPhone that doesn’t have this problem. Nothing, apart from the 14.2 IOS update has changed in the last few weeks. I have spoken to 2 apple support people today for a total of 1 hour. Their conclusion is “you need to speak to BT as it’s an issue with you connecting to your router, and is a Self Assigned IP Address issue”. Can anyone tell me if they’ve experienced this and how on earth this issue can only affect 1 iPhone and not all other Apple devices and how this issue can suddenly occur? Trying to get BT to fix this will be like pulling teach from a crocodile, so very much hoping someone can explain? Thank you.

Internet connectivity keeps dropping from iPad Hello, My iPad keeps dropping off of the WiFi. I continue to reconnect it each time it drops off, but are wondering if the iPad is beginning to wear out. I would like to know if technical support can check it out remotely. I would appreciate any support. Thanks, BethDarcy

Hello,

Try resetting iPad's network settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Be certain you do not select Erase All Content and Settings as this will erase all of your information. It is a good idea to perform a backup of your iPad prior to resetting its settings.
