Update/backup without WiFi

I recently moved to a new apartment and won’t be getting WiFi anytime soon. My IPad is starting to crash and slow down from not updating/backing it up. I’ve found no way in the settings to backup/update Without WiFi. Any recommendations?

iPad, iPadOS 14

You have two principal methods of natively backing-up your iPad - either via WiFi to iCloud, or by a wired connection to a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac computer (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS):

Beyond these two methods, you might consider a third-party software application installed on a PC/Mac. One of the popular non-Apple solutions is iMazing:
