Beloved and IPad losing [wi-fi] connection

If you have no interference at all then, depending upon whether the iPad 8 Router are capable of 5GHz, it might be worth  disabling 5GHz.

Being higher frequency it is more susceptible to attenuation from walls etc.  The only real advantage over 2.4GHz is less interference owing to less crowding.

sevenlayermuddle:
A further thought... Lots of other radio devices, unrelated to WiFi, are perfectly entitled to use the same frequency bands.  One example is baby alarms/monitors, but there's lots more.  If your neighbour had such a device in close proximity to your dead spot, it may explain it?

In that case, you'd most likely find that 5GHz worked better than 2.4GHz.  But you'd need to confirm the router and all devices supported 5GHz before disabling 2.4, many may not.

She has said it has got better lately, so For now I'll leave it be. Trouble is that unless one sees it for self..... :-\
Thanks all!
