Ipad Pro Wi-Fi connectivity issue. WI-FI NETWORK IS NOT THE ISSUE

As I've stated in my question, I've completed those recommendations per Apple support, https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204051, where indicated. My other devices are connecting & working without any trouble.

I forgot to mention that I AM able to access internet & wi-fi required activities when I use my iphone as a personal hotspot for the ipad. It operates very slow and I tried to update it while connected to hotspot, unsuccessfully, I'm guessing bc it didn't have enough juice, or bc it must be connected directly to wi-fi itself. Would that help identify the problem? I'm attaching a screenshot of the view of my ipad wi-fi settings when I have the wi-fi on. You'll notice wi-fi is on with a strong connection, also notice in the status bar at the top of the page, where the wi-fi connection status should be, there is none.

OMG! Rob, you hit the nail on the head!! I can't possibly thank you enough. I've been so distraught over this for so long, thinking the ipad was now useless.

THANK YOU & best wishes for blessed holiday's.

It's actually 13.1.3

Thank you. How can I update without wi-fi?

My wi-Fi is working. It's only my ipad that isn't connecting to it. Did you see the screenshot of my wi-fi status from the ipad above? Also it connects through the hotspot on my phone.

The VPN could prevent me from connecting with my Wi-Fi? What if it hasn't been an issue before?
