iPad Pro 2016 extremely slow compared to iPad Pro 2018 and iPhone 11 Pro Max
My old iPad Pro 2016 model used to be much faster. It used to be about the same speed as my newer iPad Pro 2018 and my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Is there anything I can do? I’d really rather not power cycle my modem and router right now. Everything else is working fast. I’m getting speeds of like 100 Mbps on the old iPad. Used to get 500.

1. what modem do you have?
2. what router do you have?
3. what firmware is on the router?
4. what band is the 2016 ipad connected to? 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
5. how far from the router is the ipad?
6. how are you testing speeds?
Details are key. Just saying your ipad is slower than a different one doesn't tell us much
- Modem: Calix 803G
Router: Orbi RBR 850 with one Satellite: RBS 850
Firmware: v7.2.6.21
Band: 5ghz
Distance: Roughly 7-8 feet
Speed testing: Ookla SpeedTest.net app
I’m sorry for the lack of details. I am stupid when it comes to this stuff.Usually when all the other devices are fine and its just one with issues, I suspect the one with issues and not the router.
Does it tell you what link connection it has back to the router?
have you tried a different app?
Forgetting the network (on the ipad) and reconnecting?
