My iPad refuses to connect to a previously connected wifi

I have a brand new iPad. I also just moved homes. For some reason the iPad refuses to connect to the same wifi network it was working before.

  • At first it kept saying there was no internet. I rebooted. Still the same
  • Then I made it "forget" the network and re-added. Now it's just sitting in the wifi settings with the "spinny wheel" not being able to connect.
  • If I connect to the exact same router, but using my guest network instead, it works just fine.


Already tried to reboot the routers and to reset the network settings on the iPad.


Ideas?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Ok, for some reason I had to disable the "Private Address" option. Don't really care about that so we're all good. Apple, when **** goes wrong do me a favor: show me what's wrong.
