My iPad, 8th Generation, won’t connect to any wi-if network. I have already reset the network connections. My other devices in the house are connecting. Is there anything else I can do?

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.

Other Thoughts:
A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:
If Safari is slow, try clearing out your Temporary Internet Files: History, Cache, and Cookies. Go Here: Clear your Safari browser history and set up content blockers on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
B. Disable Cellular:
Try disabling Cellular, and using Wi-Fi instead, seeing if that makes all the difference.
C. Try manually restarting your iPhone:
Thank you! I had to completely uninstall Norton 360 in order to disable the VPN.
I am connected to wi-if now.
You are very welcome.
Should you wish to do so, now that the connectively problem has been resolved, you should be able to re-install Norton 360.
I just reinstalled it. Thanks again!!!
I’m delighted that I was able to help.
