Causes of Slow Wi-Fi on an iPad
Because a wireless network has many parts, including a modem, a router, and the devices that you use to access the internet, a dip in speed could have a few different causes. Before you restart the router to improve the speed of the Wi-Fi signal to your iPad, find out where the problem is. Connect to the wireless network from two different devices, such as a laptop and the iPad, from the same spot in your house. See if both devices are having trouble, or only one.
How to Fix Slow Wi-Fi on an iPad
If the iPad is the problem, here are some steps to fix it. Move the iPad closer to the router and see if the signal strength improves. If the connection is speedy near the router but slows down in distant rooms, boost the signal strength. If the speed test shows a fast connection on your devices, the website you’re connecting to may have a connection problem. Connect to a popular website such as Google to see if the performance issues persist. The network you’re using is listed at the top of the screen with a check mark next to it. If no network is listed, you aren’t connected to a Wi-Fi network. If the wrong Wi-Fi network is listed, that could explain the problem with the Wi-Fi. Instead of connecting again immediately, reboot the iPad to ensure nothing holds over in memory before you connect again. When the iPad boots up, go back to Settings, choose your Wi-Fi network, and enter the password. If this doesn’t solve the issue, go through the troubleshooting steps for a weak signal on your router.
