Just got my ipad pro 11, wifi issues with usb c headphone adapter?

I have exactly the same. Since you said that it happened as the earbuds in the iPad. It is very annoying

Having the exact same problem. Guessing this is an issue with any USB-C device connected

I made a video of the problem:

I bought this one from apple website : https://www.apple.com/fr/shop/product/MU7E2ZM/A/adaptateur-usb‑c-vers-mini‑jack-35-mm

The problem is the same...

It fixed it for me, no more problems.

Problem is the same with original Apple dongle. Some say it is interfering with 2,4ghz wifi which is total nonsense because it doesn’t work in 5ghz WiFi either and it works just fine on my wife’s galaxy s8.

here is a video with original dongle and 5ghz wifi.

how in the world can that be an issue? That’s such a rookie mistake. How did apple not notice this mistake? Did they notice it and just did not care?

Do we get free Apple airpods?

Its 15 jan. 2019 and apple did not contact me, did not keep me updated(see above post). I’ve send an e-mail today about this and stated also that i want an solution.

Please dont just read this forum, post if you have the same problem and make tickets.

I don’t know how the laws are in America, but in Europe, when you buy something that is faulty from the beginning you give the producer some time in which they can come up with a solution for the Problem.

In this case the Problem hasn’t even been recognized as a problem. They don’t offer any solutions.

Law in Europe states that we can now get some money back depending on the problem, and this is quite a bad problem because I can’t use my iPad at all after I connect a usb c cable for anything.

I’m having the same issue on my 11” Pro purchased today. I have experienced two network dropouts. When it happens I try to disable WiFi but the shell icon stays in the corner until I reboot the iPad. I have been using it exclusively with the headphone adapter plugged in. I guess I could try using it for a while without the adapter connected. I hadn’t thought of the correlation between the two.

I have the same problem on my new iPad Pro 11. I have an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter plugged in. The Wi-Fi on the iPad stops working seemingly at random times. I have had luck getting the Wi-Fi reconnected by restarting the iPad or unplugging the USB-C adapter. This seems to be an unworkable situation for a brand new $800 iPad.

Today, I discovered a trick that fixes this problem the last two times this problem occurred. Go to YouTube and search for "Fix for MACBOOK PRO WIFI FAILURE with USB Dongle". This person posting this video uses a piece of aluminum foil to wrap the cable. Not sure exactly why this works but it has worked for me. As soon as I wrap the cable with aluminum foil (changing nothing else), the Wi-Fi connection came back. I will returning the current USB-C adapter for a new one in hopes of better shielding and results but this appears to be a more serious problem with recent Apple products and USB-C adapters taking out the Wi-Fi connection.

Cheers. I tried the Alu foil thingy but it doesn’t really seem to help this far.

If the iPad goes to standby and you turn it on again with the 3.5mm connected, the internet doesn’t seem to work until unplug

The 10 second unplug is good advice, but “go to settings and reconnect” does not work.

When this occurs the WiFi icon is still lit fully as if you are connected, but no data moves across the network. Reconnecting in settings will not fix it. Only physically unplugging the adapter until data begins flowing or rebooting the iPad works.

I have (effectively) exactly the same problem — Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter (I’ve tried two of them and a third-party alternative) — with a Matias Mini Tactile Pro keyboard on a 12.9” 2018 iPad Pro that is otherwise working flawlessly.

But 50% of the time: Plug in adapter, lose internet.

The other 50% of the time: Plug in adapter, have internet. Until I don’t — in which case the only remedy that reliably works is to restart the iPad. As in turn off, leave the adapter plugged in, turn back on and voila — it works.

Until, once again, it doesn’t… MTBF varies from minutes to hours.

Same thing for me. I am using pixel usb c earbuds. No WiFi after it goes to sleep with the headphones still in.
