Wi-Fi connectivity

Without any resetting on my part, my iPad disconnects from the wi-fi connection when it goes into Auto-Lock and I have to reconnect every time I activate it. I'm not sure why or how this happened, but what is my remedy to keep connected to the wi-fi at all times? Thanks in advance.

iPad Pro, 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.
