Ipad Pro M1 IpadOS 14 Wi-Fi connection and Turn-off the modem issue.

I just bought an Ipad pro 12.9" M1 2021 a month ago. This is my first Apple product. In the beginning it couldn't connect to wifi easy and disconnected many times. Then I see a solution here around to change its dns settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Then I change some setting to AES in the modem to fix it. It worked for a while. Sometimes it disconnects again.

My real problem is when Ipad sometimes can't connect the wifi, it turns off my modem of my house. My modem is TP-Link TD-W8970

I can't understand that. I lost my internet connection of my pc or TV and other android phones too because of my Ipad. Then I try to reconnect again and again. Sometimes there is no problem, but sometimes it effects all my internet connection in the house. I bought Ipad for drawing but this issue is very annoying. I can't fix it. And also my internet connection became slower after Ipad.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Perhaps you have WiFi Private Addressing enabled, this being enabled by default. The WiFi Private Address feature provides additional privacy and security when using “public” (untrusted) WiFi networks. This feature is largely unnecessary for your home WiFi network - and may, in some circumstances, disrupt network connectivity.

This feature is configured for each WiFi network to which you connect. As a diagnostic exercise, try disabling this feature:

Settings > WiFi > [Your Network Name / SSID] - tap the blue “i” icon - Private Wi-Fi Address - set to OFF

More information about this feature can be found here:

Hello again. After a while it did the same thing again. Same reason same problem, when I try to connect my home network also during my private address is disabled ipad turns of my modem again and I lose all my internet for the next start. If I did know this problem before ı bought this apple device I would think twice. I can't understand this? Why apple don't publish a new update to fix this problem. It is very annoying.
