IPad Pro keeps dropping WiFi

I have an IPad Pro, new within past year, and over the past 2 weeks, as soon as the screen goes off after not using it, it drops the WiFi, and I have to reset it. I have 3 other IPads (not Pros) in the house, and none of them do this. I’ve already tried the recommended fixes, and nothing remedies it. I think this must be a bug.

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.
