My wifi drops on my iPad Pro 4th generation M2 intermittently without warning

Hello support group, my iPad Pro 4th generation drops the WiFi connection intermittently. I have tried the following:

  • Cycled Wi-Fi toggle
  • Cycled Airplane mode
  • Reset network settings
  • Reset iPad
  • Setup iPad as new


The only solution that seems to work is to reset my router. This problem is only unique to this particular iPad. My other Apple devices (iPad 3rd generation, iPhone 12, iPhone 14, Mac Mini (M1) and Macbook Pro 16" (M1)) along with my TV and gaming devices do not experience the same problem.


I haven't read about any similar problems so not sure if this is unique to me or possible hardware issue. Would appreciate any guidance or support.

Your M2-equipped iPad Pro supports WiFi 6E. If your WiFi Router does not also support WiFi 6E, you may need to disable this feature on your iPad - as otherwise you may experience unexpected disconnection from your WiFi network:


  1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap the name of the Wi-Fi 6E network you’re connected to.
  3. Tap Wi-Fi 6E Mode, then tap OFF
