Didn't help, or change the behavior :( There must be some odd combination of resets/power-cycles that I'm not doing correctly. System seems more stable now on 2.1.3.4, and I don't think my iPad Pro 9.7 has been kicked off with this firmware, whereas it was a daily occurance before I upgraded.
My iPad 9.7 was the main culprit having the same issue...
This firmware makes it better, but it still happens (requiring a cycling of wifi on the iPad). Just happens less frequently.
I also noticed with this beta, the battery on the iPad lasts much longer on Wifi ... have you noticed this yet turns2stone ???

I agree it still happens but not as frequently.
And battery life is degraded as devices are searching and reconnecting to networks. So if it doesn't have to do that as often, and it's reliable and stable, battery life will be better.
