Disconnecting wifi

My iPad keeps disconnecting from my WiFi network every time it goes to sleep. I then have to go back into my settings and select the network again. (Super annoying bc then I end up with all my notifications mass loading etc.) How do I keep it connected?

iPad, iPadOS 14

If the iPad disconnects when idle (sleep/locked) you may need to verify the your WiFi Settings for each of your configured WiFi Networks - ensuring that they are set to Auto Join:

Settings > WiFi > [WiFi Network / SSID] - tap the “i” icon - set Auto-Join to ON


Unless Auto-Join is enabled, your iPad will not automatically reconnect to the WiFi network when resuming from sleep - or when coming into range of your WiFi network.


Auto-Join is enabled/disabled for each configured WiFi network.
