This has only started recently. I’ve had my iPad for several months now, but now when I start up the iPad I find that the WiFi is disconnected. It’s a very simple matter to reconnect, but why is the iPad cutting off the WiFi on shutdown? I’ve looked for some control panel of some sort but have not found anything anywhere to “tell” my iPad to stay connected on the next startup.

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.

Hello, QuickPost
On my previous generation iPad I would have tried holding down both the home button and the startup button at the same time to reset. Will what you are suggesting lead to the same result (Will it do the same thing?) or is it a “deeper level” reset than the simple one I used to do easily and successfully?
Thanks for your help!
Thank you. I tried what you suggested and the WiFi is back to normal.
