When my iPad shuts off it disconnects the Wi-Fi.

Hi I was looking on the internet trying to see what space I could clear out beings I got a message saying I need to delete stuff or my iPad wouldn’t work right and it’s not.

my biggest problem is whenever my iPad shuts down from non activity …it disconnects the Wi-Fi and it’s really annoying. Can anyone help me with that?


iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi

If the iPad disconnects when idle (sleep/locked) you may need to verify the your WiFi Settings for each of your configured WiFi Networks - ensuring that they are set to Auto Join:

Settings > WiFi > [WiFi Network / SSID] - tap the “i” icon - set Auto-Join to ON


Unless Auto-Join is enabled, your iPad will not automatically reconnect to the WiFi network when resuming from sleep - or when coming into range of your WiFi network.


Auto-Join is enabled/disabled for each configured WiFi network.
