iPad wifi disconnects

I have 9th generation iPad and when locked the Wi-Fi disconnects. Also it won’t update cause it says it had no internet or Wi-Fi. I reset the whole iPad, but still have issues. Thanks

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.
