Troubleshooting

Wi-Fi connectivity is slow or unreliable.
Toggle Wi-Fi off and on in `Settings > Wi-Fi`. Restart your Wi-Fi router and modem. If the issue persists, 'Forget This Network' in Wi-Fi settings and then reconnect. Ensure your router's firmware is up to date and that you are within optimal range for Wi-Fi 6E performance.
Apple Pencil Pro isn't pairing or responding.
Ensure the Apple Pencil Pro is charged and magnetically attached to the side of your iPad Air. Check Bluetooth settings (`Settings > Bluetooth`) to confirm it's enabled and that the Pencil is listed and connected. If problems continue, restart both your iPad Air and the Apple Pencil Pro.
Apps are crashing or the iPad Air feels sluggish.
Close unnecessary background apps by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and swiping apps away. Restart your iPad Air. Check for and install any available iPadOS updates (`Settings > General > Software Update`). Ensure you have adequate free storage space (ideally 10-15% of total capacity).
