WiFi lost during use

The last week or so my iPad Mini 5 has lost the Wifi connection during use. The worst example was yesterday when I lost it while streaming a movie.

I tried the usual trick: Turning the Airplane mode on and off. That didn't help. Only a full restart made the WiFi connection reappeare, but only for a while.

Has anyone else experience it? Installed the latest upgrade (15.3) yesterday and hopefully that will do the trick.

iPad mini, iOS 12
