Ipad Air 2 won't connect to WiFi after iPadOS 13 upgrade

I've tried rebooting iPad, rebooting router, resetting network settings on iPad, and toggling airplane mode on/off. Anyone have any other suggestions?


Thanks

It's fixed! I did a full recovery from iTunes while holding down the Home button (as per https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306)

and when it asked I restored from the iTunes backup I took before upgrading to iPadOS 13. It all worked. Came up running iPadOS 13.1, connected to my WiFi router and all seems to be well now.


Oh boy am I glad I took both an iTunes and an iCloud backup before I started this saga! Paranoia wins again.
