I updated my iPad and now it won't work at all. It refuses to connect to the internet, showing a "connect to server" error. I've literally tried everything I can think of to fix it, but nothing seems to work. I'm really looking for solutions that don't involve factory resetting my device because I don't want to lose all my data.
Just to be clear, I've already reset the iPad, reset the router, checked and changed the date and time settings, factory reset the Wi-Fi settings, and toggled the private network option. I've also attempted to use other networks and even connected it to a hotspot. I've been deleting apps, too, but it's still not working.

Did you mean iPadOS instead of ISO? What server are you trying to connect to? That's crucial information. Do you have a VPN installed by chance?
We need more specifics here. Where exactly are you getting that "connect to server" error—Settings, Safari, or in one of your apps?
Honestly, I know you’re hesitant, but you might just need to factory reset the iPad. It could be the most effective solution.
Have you thought about restoring the iPad through a PC or Mac? That could solve a lot of software issues without needing a backup. It's also not as catastrophic as it sounds—your apps are linked to your Apple ID, so you can easily redownload them from the App Store.
