1. My older devices drop the wi-fi connection now and then.

Sometimes, I have to retype the wireless password. (So why do they forget it?)

Other times, I go to airplane mode and immediately right back. I did that a damn lot when I was on cellular hot spot.

Perhaps there’s an app available to you that can check what’s going on with your wifi.

My wifi has two bands, and I never use the slower one. Is the tablet confused by this?

That’s all I can offer from my experience.

Good luck.
