iPad Pro 2018 WiFi problems

I have this issue too on the 11.5 inch model. The issue happens usually when waking up from sleep. It seems to happen more often when the iPad is standing upright with the smart folio.

Restoring the iPad doesn’t work. The only thing that fixes it is, as noted, rebooting the iPad. Also, the functionality will return after about 10 minutes as was also noted. Issue happens at any battery level.

Probably a software problem with the way the iPad wakes up. Waiting on a firmware update to hopefully fix the issue.

Try plugging something into your USB-C Port and then immediately Unplugging again... Or if you have something plugged in, just unplug and replug. That seems to allow internet connection again, at least for me. Not the long term solution, but a quick temporary fix, at least for me.

Thanks for this chain...I had the same problem and the usb-c ear phone plug removal does sort it...really irritating nonetheless...going to the apple store in Glasgow next weekend to complain about being mid-sold the wrong keyboard and will be mentioning this as well!

This happens with my 11 inch. Nothing to do with the adapter noted above but I usually keep my iPad on airplane mode with WiFi on when home to save battery and many times a day I have to do a force restart because WiFi turns off on its own and gets stuck off, trying to turn it back on either the switch icon doesn’t work or it says on then turns off. Also sometimes it will show as off but still be connected to WiFi. Force reset is the only thing to fix it until it happens a few hours later. Resetting network settings does nothing.

Thank you very much. I unplugged my USB-C adapter and the WiFi connected immediately. I truly hope this issue gets resolved very soon. This is rediculous. My headphones hang off of the adapter which causes weight where it charges. I’m not a fan of wireless headsets either.

I believe my issue with WIFI disconnecting is finally resolved. I changed my wifi router from ASUS RT N66R to Netgear Orbi mesh router, and I don't get the disconnections anymore. I'm not entirely sure if the ipad pro has issues with certain wifi routers, but it certainly feels like it. Good luck to you all.

I had the same problem and it turn out to be the usb-c/earphones adapter. Removing the adapter takes the internet connection back.

Never let it attached when not using it.

Anything plugged to the usb-c port can cause the problem. Even the charger.

Hi, bug in ios, or in Ipad Pro 2018? If you set DNS server manual, in WI-FI settings it works, or/and you not use USB-C to headphone.

Or set manual (Not automatic) DNS server IP, your router IP and/or google DNS 8.8.8.8 in WI-FI settings, this make it work with USB-C headphones, why? Not know? Try it!

While not an acceptable remedy, I can confirm turning off Location Services prevents my wifi from losing internet connectivity.

I had the same problem , confirmed on your solution. Yes it has do with USB-C device , I believe this is a security precaution to shutdown all external communication to the the device if kept connected (GrayKey Cracker !!!) . There is an option in Face -Id to deactivate the USB stuff connecting, if the ipad not been active for 1 hour ..etc. But of course this has to be communicated clearly.

I had these issues and I never use the camera or headphone adapters. My WIFI connection would drop OR my WIFI connection would remain on but the iPad could not reach the internet. This was intermittent at times. Sometimes, I would click on a page and the connection was lost, I'd refresh the page and the connection was back. I tried resetting the network, restoring the entire iPad, using various WiFi's that were successful with my other devices, etc. The only success I had was connecting to my home Airport Extreme. Other than that, it was touch and go. I need to be on the internet so I tried getting a data plan on the e-SIM card. That did not work either. The carrier offered to send me a free SIM card because it could not get the e-SIM card to work. You are probably noticing the past tense. That's because I returned the iPad Pro 2018. This is the first time I have ever returned an Apple product. At that price point, I wanted convenience, not troubleshooting practice. Bottom line: I really cannot have a mobile device with connectivity problems.

Add feedback, they seems to look at these,

Same, I downloaded 12.1.3 but it still happens. Mine has nothing to do with the usb audio jack. It just suddenly says server not responding. I usually turn off the WiFi and turn it back on and it works again but it’s really annoying.
