Wifi turns itself off...not just dropping signal, but off!

Pad Air 2 running iOS 9.0.2 with all apps updated. This problem only began after the upgrade to iOS9. I use my iPad many hours a day and am thoroughly familiar with its expected behavior.
SInce the iOS9 upgrade, I've noticed random wifi drops while simply reading or browsing. When I open settings, I find that wifi is actually "off" not just a dropped connection. I have a solid wireless signal and other wireless devices are not dropping out so I don't think this is a response to anything from the router. When I turn the wifi on, it quickly connects to my preferred network. the Battery been at 90%+ so it's not a battery issue. No other anomalies in the iPad behavior. Apple are you reading this?

My iPhone 4 always did this, particularly in YouTube. I tried everything suggested, nothing worked,as I remember it the later ios's made it happen less often

Restore the device and then set it up as new.

What ISP do you use? That's been happening this week to my LG phone, and possibly my Wii. I have AT&T U-verse.

Could wifi assist be the culprit here?

The problem had been less frequent, but seems to occur more often with 9.1
