iPadOS 15.0.2 WiFi issues

I’ve been having a lot of wifi issues with my iPad Pro (2nd Gen) after I updated my software to 15.0.2


I’ve also updated my iPhone Xr to 15.0.2, but everything seems to be working great (like before I updated the software).


Can someone advise me as to how I can sort out the wifi issues on my iPad?


Blessings

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Start here:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support


If you have a VPN App or profiles installed, or a security App such as Norton, these may be interfering with DHCP and preventing your device from obtaining a valid IP Address for your network. The resolution is relatively simple; may only need to temporarily disable or remove the Security App and/or VPN.


DHCP is frequently used to automatically obtain an IP Address from your WiFi Router. Until your iPad has a valid IP Address to connect to your network, you will not have an internet connection. Disabling or removing VPN and/or the offending security App should allow DHCP to operate normally - allowing connection to your network and the internet.


If this resolves your issue, the VPN and/or security App can be reinstated after the connectivity problem has been resolved.
