I'm really frustrated with my iPad—it connects to various WiFi networks but nothing loads, so it feels pretty useless right now. I've tested it with my phone, laptop, and game consoles, which all connect just fine. The iPad's issues started about two days ago, and I can't figure out why since I hadn't even used it for about a week. I've tried resetting settings, checking the date and time, and messing with DNS settings. Unfortunately, I can't factory reset it due to the 'Find My' feature needing an internet connection. Has anyone faced a similar issue?

You might want to try putting your iPad into recovery mode and then restoring it through a computer. This method allows you to restore it without disabling Find My, which could be a way around your problem!
If you can get your hands on an Ethernet to USB adapter, that might be a solution to get your iPad working again. Just a thought!
Have you ever used a VPN? If that's the case, check your settings under 'VPN & Device Management.' Sometimes clearing out any old configurations can help with connectivity issues.
I used to use a VPN but deleted all related apps and configurations. I even tried hard resets and manually setting DNS, but I only got a brief connection to Google before losing it again.
Did you specifically reset your network settings? That can often fix similar issues if you haven't tried it yet.
Yes, I’ve gone through all the network reset steps. It’s driving me insane!
I’m thinking about trying this too, but my work laptop won't allow USB connections for security reasons. I’ll need to borrow someone else's computer.
