Hi, marilynfrommagalia.

I see that you are having some problems with your iPad staying connected, and here are a few tips:

  • You might be getting low signal quality from the router.
  • The router settings so not match your iPad(R)’s radio settings.

What I will recommend to solve this problem is to:

  • Make sure that you are within the range of the WI-FI network you are connected to.
  • You can also turn WI-FI on and of.
  • Forget the network you are connected to and reconnect to is

Or…

  • You can restart the iPad and the Router.

I hope that solved your problem, marilynfrommagalia, and I hope you have a good day.

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.

My iPad wont stay connected to my Wi-Fi.
