iPad not connecting to Wifi after 14.4 upgrade

I have not been able to connect wifi after the latest update yesterday. All the other devices working fine in the same network.


I have tried to restart my iPad, forget the network an re-connect and reset network settings without success.

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

There is a new privacy feature included within iOS/iPadOS14 that hides your physical MAC Address - and instead uses a randomly selected Private MAC Address. If your WiFi router is expecting your iPad to connect with a specific MAC Address, this feature may be impacting your ability to connect. This feature can be enabled/disabled on your iPhone/iPad for each configured WiFi Network.
