Since I updated to IOS 15.5 my Wi-Fi drops out every few minutes?

Since I updated to IOS 15.5 my Wi-Fi drops out every few minutes? I have tried everything I can think of, reset network and Wi-Fi connections etc. It seems to be a distance issue, in my living room where the router is I have no problem but in my bedroom the Wi-Fi drops out. On IOS 14 I could connect to my Wi-Fi out on the street. I am on Virgin Media fast broadband.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

If the signal was previously received by your iPad in your Bedroom, but doesn’t now, something may have coincidentally changed in your environment. Your description might suggest one of two possibilities.

1) Some form of radio interference exists from other devices that operate on the same frequencies as your WiFi channel (Bluetooth devices and microwave ovens are two candidates - but there are many others) or adjacent WiFi networks.


2) WiFi signals are essentially line of sight. An obstruction is blocking (or severely attenuating) the WiFi signal. Metal or high density objects (such as brick or block-work) can severely impact the signal. Something as simple as vase of flowers can completely block the signal - water can completely block WiFi signals.
