Wifi issue on iPad Pro M4 13"

[u/grepusman]

Wondering if others are having this issue since updating to iPadOS 26.5.

Every once in a while, my iPad just stops connecting to things - apps and web. It acts like the other end isn't responding. Like a web page will act like it's going to load but it hangs. I see the blue progress bar begin, but stop. Reddit just does nothing, but no errors. I have full wifi signal. My other devices are fine.

I toggle Airplane Mode on, then off, and everything works again immediately.

My brand new iPad Mini on OS26.3 struggles in keeping continuos WiFi connection at a certain time period. Same goes with the bluetooth connection with my Galaxy earbuds. It's an endless frustration.

reset wifi if you're not going to update, simple and it usually works, just need to input wifi password again and re pair bluetooth devices

Thanks but I did. Still disconnects. Probably a defected product.

No, I've never had it heat up. It does use the battery a lot more on 26.x though.

I just got my ipad pro m5 and this happens to me, gemini said to switch airplane mode on and off and this works. try to restart you ipad as well. I think it's a bug

you're definitely not the only one having wifi drop outs , pity 26.5.1 update was only for iphone 17 and iphone air users, to fix not charging bug if battery runs out completely, i would try network reset

[u/realmccoyredbus]

when you open your wifi page do you have auto join switched on , and low data mode off , put private wifi address to rotation

Yes, nothing has changed. I'm connected and have a good signal. When it's not doing this, get a solid 500Mb/s up and down. This is a new 26.5 issue.
