iPad drops wifi if not used for a couple of minutes

iPad 9th generation drops wifi if not used for a couple of minutes.

I have done the call-in with Apple support, been to the genius counter, spent hours on the line with my internet supplier and many other things that did not work. I have many devices on the line, and the iPad is the only one that has any problem.

Anybody have any ideas?

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.
