New Ipad Mini 4 keeps dropping and reconnecting to wifi

I just purchased a new ipad mini 4. I used it for a fe hours that evening and then went to bed with a charge left on it at 79%. I woke up the next morning to find the battery at 26%. After a little testing I found that my WiFi connection keeps connecting and disconnecting. I have many other apple devices in the house and this is the only one that has this issue. I hope someone else out here can help with this.

iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi, iOS 9.0.2
