iPad Suddenly Won’t Connect to Home Wi‑Fi

My iPad stopped connecting to my home Wi‑Fi a few days ago, even though it had been working normally and I haven't changed anything on the router. I've already reset the iPad's network settings, installed all available system updates, and disabled the Private Wi‑Fi Address option, but nothing fixed the problem. What else should I try?

Try connecting the iPad to another Wi‑Fi network or a phone hotspot. Since it works elsewhere, the iPad’s Wi‑Fi hardware is probably fine and the problem is more likely with the home router. Restart the router, forget and re-add the iPad’s connection, and check whether the router has separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks.

Restart both the router and the iPad, then try switching between the router’s 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. In some cases, changing the frequency band is enough to get the iPad connected again.
