Wi-Fi issues on my iPad (8th generation) running iOS 14.2

I had the same issue and I had tried everything until I tried uninstalling the vpn I used and that fixed the issue. If you use a vpn that may be worth looking into.

I had similar problems with my iPad Pro 11 2nd generation. Recently, I updated the OS to 14.6 version and that seems to improve the Wifi performance significantly. I still get a drop out occasionally, something it didn't happen before, but it is much more tolerable.

Restart the router.

Pull the plug for 30 seconds and test it again.

14.4.2.

Restart the router the next time the signal disconnects.

I’m having the same issue on my iPad pro running 14.4.2; not sure what generation.

My wifi network has both 2.4g and 5g signals. What I have noticed is that once the iPad drops the 2.4g wifi, If I connect to the 5g network everything works fine for a while but, according to the settings, the iPad has reverted to the 2.4g network and behaves as though it is no longer connected; the wifi indicator in the upper right corner is not there either. All my other Apple devices are operating just fine.

I was wanting to see if you found a fix for this issue. I have the same problem and it is only my iPad that does it too. No issues with other devices. I have reset the network settings in iPad numerous times and still does not help.

Having the same problem. iPad on iOS 14.6. We use it and after some time even though it appears connected there’s no connectivity. Way we fix it is by enabling and disabling airplane mode. That fixes it temporarily and then it repeats.

Both my iPad and my Husband’s iPads have been dropping off WiFi most of the day. Nothing else is effected. Did complete shut down of iPads and left off for several minutes. They rebooted and connected, however then started dropping off WiFi again. Issue started yesterday...and yes we rebooted the router last night.. That did not resolve the issue.

Anyone else having this issue?

I have the same issue and tried all suggested solutions. I even had my ISP replace my router and upgrade the firmware. My iPad is the only device this happens to. I have 6 Android devices 2 Windows, multiple IoT devices that never drop the WiFi. This is unique to Apple.

I agree that this is not helpful. I've done every suggested solution and none of them work. I have 5 Android and two Windows devices connected and none of them drop wifi. My 4 year old Samsung Tab stays connected and my 6 month old iPad doesn't. So frustrating.

I expect better from Apple.

I just started having problems with my iPad running 14.6. It drops out at various times and with no consistency. I tried unloading photos, and economizing on usage, but no improvement. Is there a fix coming?

Seems every one is experiencing the same issues and the standard reboot router solution does not work. Is there an issue with the IOS update? I have 2 iPads on older iPad Pro and 7th gen iPad. No such problems on the older iPad Pro and they are running the same software version 14.4.2.

This random disconnecting is discerning and affects my my experience. Please provide a working solution.

Same problem on only my iPad (not with other devices , apple or otherwise ), solution offered doesn’t work and this is getting ridiculous…Apple’s support on this extremely subpar on rectifying this matter… pls provide viable, actionable solution… just got my iPad for Christmas replacing older one that never had this problem, but I don’t have it anymore so stuck with this brand spanking new one that can’t sustain any WiFi signal… disappointing is an understatement!

This occurred right from the start when I got the iPad in late November and I didn't have a VPN then. I've tried with and without my VPN and the issue is still there. I find it interesting that Apple is touting iPad OS 15 and they can't fix 14.X. Maybe they want all of us to buy an iPad Pro...NOT!
