ipad 11 gen A16 wifi issue

[Firefighter2021]

Hi guys

the new ipad 11 gen A16 keep dropping on wifi randomly

while i have over 20 wifi devices connected to my eero max 7

which i have 5 other ipads and two iphones , all got no any issues

it keep dropping , i did factory reset after ios 18.4.1 and reset network and still same issue

and even wifi was dropping while setting up the ipad

I got this ipad today , im going to JB HIFI australia and ask for replacement

I wonder if there is a bug with ipad 11 gen A16 wifi or they are shipping it with defective wifi as i see this post on reddit 2 weeks ago too

For what it’s worth I have had no problems with wifi with my iPad 11, which I received around ten days ago. 🤷‍♂️

Apple called me this morning

Confirming a wifi critical bug

And she was reading the engineers notes

Looks like ios 18.4.2 should be released soon

Mine only started exhibiting this with iPadOS 26… wifi completely shuts off, have to toggle it on, then off, then on again before it will reconnect. Even reset all network settings. I’m installing the 26.1 beta to see if that fixes it.

Yeah. Happens here too. very annoying. The wifi control shows a stroke through it. Re-enabling with the control shows all other wifi points except the one it was connected to. Disabling and re-enabling wifi in settings fixes it iPad A16...
