Automatic disconnection of wifi in iPad mini 6th gen '

The problem is after a few minutes, say 15 minutes of inactivity, the wifi gets disconnected on its own. We have to reconnect again. Why do we have to do that everytime? Is it a setting issue aimed at reduced battery consumption? Please help!

iPad mini 6, iPadOS 15

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.
