Why do I need to manually use my wireless modem everytime I use my ipad?

Whenever I use my ipad it used to connect automatically to my wirelless modem at home,since the last 2 days I need to do it manually,why not automatic?

iPad, iPadOS 16

If the iPad disconnects from your WiFi network 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.
