What does resetting network settings do?

Resetting your network settings will erase all saved Wi-Fi passwords, cellular settings, VPN, and APN configurations. This can be helpful if you're experiencing connectivity issues. After resetting, you'll need to re-enter your Wi-Fi passwords and reconfigure any custom network settings.

Important Considerations:

  • Back up your iPad: Before resetting any settings, it's always a good idea to back up your iPad to iCloud or your computer. This will ensure that you don't lose any important data.
  • Know your Wi-Fi passwords: You'll need to re-enter all your Wi-Fi passwords after resetting the network settings, so make sure you have them handy.
  • Other Reset Options: Be careful not to select "Erase All Content and Settings" unless you intend to completely wipe your iPad. This action will remove all your personal data and restore your iPad to its factory settings. Only select "Reset Network Settings" to address network-related problems.

By following these steps, you can successfully reset the network settings on your iPad.
