My iPad air 4th generation keeps dropping my wifi connection since the since iPad ios 16.5 update.

Is anyone experiencing the same problem? I’ve done a forced restart to see if that would help, but it doesn’t.

iPadOS 16.5? iPadOS 16.1 is current.


There are multiple reports of seemingly random disconnections from WiFi following update of some iPhone and iPad models to iOS/iPadOS16.1. At present, pending acknowledgment of the issue and release of a fix, there are no reliable workarounds at this time.


You might find that a reset of your network settings may relieve the issue:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Network Settings


After performing the reset, you’ll need to re-enter your WiFi network passwords.
