I have an older iPad pro I leave running an app so that I can monitor my solar system and batteries. I have been doing this for 2 years with few issues. However recently, the unit seems to drop all wifi connectivity after a week or so. If I shutdown and restart the system Wifi comes back for a week or so and then it is lost again. No other apps on the iPad can connect to wifi until I power off and on the iPad. All my other devices have no issues with the wifi network. The iPad indicators show a good strong signal even when there is no connectivity.

Any idea of what is going on and how to troubleshoot this issue?

Have you tried to reset the Network Setting in the Setting Menu?
