Can I use Apple iPad Pro 2021 with 5G off on Wi-Fi network?

Hi Javier786,

Got it! If the Wi-Fi network is 5GHz only, there wouldn't be a way to change the Wi-Fi settings on the iPad to connect on a 2.4GHz band. Some routers are multi-band and transmit both a 2.4 GHz network as well as 5 GHz. If the router is transmitting both bands on separate networks, you would be able to connect to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and tap "Forget This Network" for the 5 GHz band to prevent the iPad Pro from connecting.

All the best.

Hi Javier786,

We understand you have some questions about iPad Pro connecting to the internet, and we're happy to help out.

So we're on the same page, are you asking about connecting a iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular to a 5G cellular network, or a 5GHz broadband Wi-Fi network? When connecting to a cellular data network, you may see the option in Settings > Cellular to use LTE Only. This will restrict the iPad Pro to an LTE network even when 5G is available. We have more information here:
