Okay,

That confirms you have an iPad Air 2.

If your iPad is still running iOS 11, your iPad is too far behind in iOS upgrades/updates.

You need to connect that iPad to a full Mac or Windows PC computer, running the latest iTunes version for Mac or PC and use the iTunes Software Update feature/option to have the iTunes application upgrade your iPad to iPadOS 13.6.1.



Best of Luck to You!
