Every other device in my home has a stable Wi‑Fi connection, but one iPad regularly buffers videos, takes a long time to load shows, and disconnects from Zoom meetings. The iPad works normally when connected to a phone hotspot. I've already reset its network settings, reset the iPad, tried both Wi‑Fi bands, manually set the DNS to 1.1.1.1, and forgotten and rejoined the home network, but the issue continues. What else could be causing the problem?

Since the iPad works properly on a hotspot, the issue is probably related to how that iPad communicates with your home router rather than a general iPad failure. Forgetting and reconnecting to the network is worth trying, although you mentioned you’ve already done that. At this point, check for an iPadOS update, restart the router, and try disabling Private Wi‑Fi Address and Limit IP Address Tracking for that network. If it still happens, the router may have a compatibility issue with that specific iPad.
