To perform an update procedure wirelessly, you need to connect your device to a reliable and fast Wifi Network with internet access (no cellular data, no personal hotspot, no VPN connections are admitted).

AND your iPad should be plugged into power during the whole update process.

Do not forget to create a full backup of your device, before any updates.
