My wifi is turning off after each use of the internet. There must be something wrong somewhere in my settings. Each time, I have to ask to join the network 😌

my iPad has recently required that I ask to join the internet after each use. I can’t figure out how to make it stay on! Please help!

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.
