Why does my iPad 7th gen WiFi keep cutting out?

I’ve been experiencing a frustrating issue with my iPad 7th gen. The WiFi keeps cutting out unexpectedly, regardless of whether I’m connected at home, at work, or using a friend’s network. The connection drops frequently, making it difficult to use my iPad for any online activities that require a stable connection. Sometimes I see the WiFi icon showing full strength, but other times it fluctuates, and I have to reconnect multiple times. Streaming videos, downloading apps, or even simple web browsing becomes a challenge. I’ve tried restarting both the device and the router several times, but nothing seems to work. This unstable WiFi connection is starting to impact my daily tasks and enjoyment of my iPad.

I had a similar problem with my iPad 7th gen, and I found a solution that might work for you. Go to Settings, select Wi-Fi, and tap the ‘i’ next to your network. Choose ‘Forget This Network,’ then reconnect to it. Make sure your iOS is up to date by going to Settings > General > Software Update. If that doesn’t help, try resetting your network settings: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. These steps helped me fix the WiFi issues.

When my iPad 7th gen’s WiFi kept dropping, the problem was interference from other devices. Change your router’s channel to a less crowded one. Here’s how: Access your router’s settings through its IP address (like 192.168.0.1), login, and find the wireless settings. Switch the channel to 1, 6, or 11 and save the changes. After rebooting the router, I noticed a significant improvement in my WiFi stability.

Overheating was the culprit for my iPad 7th gen’s WiFi issues. It would lose connection when it got too warm. Avoid using the iPad in direct sunlight or hot environments. Use a cooling pad if you notice it heating up, and limit processor-intensive tasks to shorter periods. Managing the temperature better reduced my WiFi problems.
