Can I connect external drives or displays to the iPad Air?

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable

Restart your Wi-Fi router. Forget the Wi-Fi network on your iPad and reconnect. Ensure you are within range of the router and that no obstructions are blocking the signal. Check for iPadOS updates, as they may include network improvements.
