Why does my wifi keeps dropping on my iPad air?

My iPad Air works fine with the network but at least once a day it just drops the connection, if I turn off the wifi then wait for 10 - 20 seconds and turn it on again it picks it up again .

This has been happening for a few months now and it is rather annoying when it does it.


Kindest regards

iPad Air, iOS 8.4

Hi t.ettridge,



Since your iPad Air is occasionally dropping your Wi-Fi connection, it may help to force close all open apps and reset your iPad.


Force an app to close in iOS

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If your iPad Air is still unable to maintain a connection to your Wi-Fi network, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.



  1. Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
  2. Put your device in recovery mode.
  3. When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.


If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
