Why is my iPad Pro losing Wi-Fi after iOS 18.3.2 update?

Note I incorrectly noted iPhone X in original comment, it is a 11 Pro Max above (forgot the X went to a kid)

My workaround seemed to only be temporary with Configure IP to automatic yesterday.

We had a general network drop and that resulted in all iOS/iPadOS 18.3.2 devices (iPhone 11 and 13 Pro Max, iPad Pro 3d gen) and macOS 15.4 Sequoia (2019 i9) devices who automatically connect showing unsuccessful connection on the network coming up with 169.254.187.# instead of 192.168.1.# and no router since that 169.254.187 network doesn't exist. This issue was on a 5GHz network from my AT&T Lightspeed modem. I had a second "guest" network on same modem at 2.4GHz at 192.168.2 which correctly attached when selected. I did the Forget this Network on the 5Ghz 192.168.1 on macOS and then selected it again and shared password from iPhone 11 and it correctly connected to the 192.168.1 network.

At this point I'm left wondering if

I was just temporarily lucky yesterday with Connection IP automatic on the 5Ghz network

the 2.4 Ghz would've been fine under iOS 18.3.2, iPadOS 18.3.2, and macOS 15.4 through a network event

I see that iOS 18.4 is available now although I don't see a mention of WiFi bug correction.

I guess I'll roll the dice yet again and update to see if that fixes iOS, iPadOs WiFi issues

Same problem. Two new iPads (A16) randomly disconnects to local WiFi. I have done everything to remedy this problem. In fact, ever since the update everything WiFi has been funky, although not all devices are giving us problems. I know this is on Apple’s end.

haha. I just went to press the post button and WiFi disconnected. A quick select and deselect of WiFi button solves momentarily but annoying

i have the same issue with my Iphone 11 Pro Max since ios 18.3.1

I totalny lost connection to network, both from sim and wi-fi, so have no internet in my phone

I have the same issue on my iPhone 14.

I agree Apple don’t care anymore and pointless complaining as no one listens. I’m going back to android half the price and less hassle

No problems here… 2 13” iPads Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Check for a a firmware update for your router.
