WiFi connections on IPad. ALL disappear

I have a new 2025 A16 IPad

It randomly loses All WIFI. As in none of the several found networks show in the list.

Only a shutdown and restart will resolve the issue.

OS is 18.6.2


Any suggestions on how to resolve?


thx



iPad, iPadOS 18

I’m somewhat confused about the configuration.


I have 3 separate wireless connections that are within the firewall.


So to confirm, your (presumably) firewall / gateway / NAT box is offering three SSIDs and three Wi-Fi networks?


Is this Wi-Fi box using mesh, with other mesh routers active?


When the wireless drops, there are ZERO available connections available when there should be 7, 3 local, 4 neighbors. NO VPN installed. I'll try to reset the network and see if that helps.


So to confirm, there are multiple nearby Wi-Fi networks?


Or are are multiple access points or mesh routers within your network?


Do you have a Mac or a PC available to check the local Wi-Fi environment?
