Resolved iPad Gen 5 horrible Wi-Fi on 12.4 (and 12.4.1)(got a Gen 6)

[gkarris]

I have to write this on my Chromebook from the front porch.

I used to use my iPad (5th gen) but on the front porch but now, after upgrading to 12.4, the wi-fi won't work outside the room the Wi-Fi router is in.

I tried resetting the router, and the wi-fi settings on the iPad. Not working.

It is just the iPad after the upgrade to 12.4, luckily I didn't do my iPhone SE which still works throughout the house. My Switch, Chromebook, ATV4 (2nd floor), XBox One S (first floor) all still work fine..

I reported it to Apple, anyone else having the same problem?

Thanks

Upgraded to 12.4.1 - not fixed...

Anyone else having this same issue? Not upgrading my iPhone SE for fear of same bug...

Moot at this point - decided to get a Gen 6 iPad - works fine throughout the house on 13.1

(It was a launch Gen 5 - maybe something wierd with the new systems - didn't work on 13.1 either).
