Ipad loses wifi when it goes to sleep

Our ipad loses wifi when it goes to sleep and doe not recover it when waking up. It seems to have been fixed by going in to Settings, selecting General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Once reset you need to reconnect to the wifi and enter the password for it again. Then it seems to work.

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.
