After updating to iOS 15 WiFi is working but internet will not connect. We have another exact same iPad Pro and it is connecting to the internet so it is not a WiFi problem.

Your issue is unlikely to be WiFi per-se, but more likely a problem obtaining a valid IP Address for your network.
If you have a VPN App or profiles installed, or a security App such as Norton, these may be interfering with DHCP - and may need to be temporarily disabled.
DHCP is frequently used to automatically obtain an IP Address from your WiFi Router. Until your iPad has a valid IP Address to connect to your network, you will not have an internet connection. Disabling or removing VPN and/or the offending security App should allow DHCP to operate normally - allowing connection to your network and the internet.
If this resolves your issue, the VPN and/or security App can be reinstated after the connectivity problem has been resolved.
This solved my wifi being greyed out completely on 15.1. Thank you.
Worked for me! Thank you for posting!
Why was the vpn not working with the latest version of iOS 15.2 or 15.3. Please advise , thanks
After any iOS/iPadOS upgrade/update, you should ALWAYS perform a simple hard reset of your Apple mobile device.
For older iPad models with a Home button, do a simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.
OR
For much newer, larger screen iPad models, without a Home button, try the new simple hard reset procedure for the new 2018/2020/2021 iPad Pros and the 2020 iPad Air 4 models.
1. Press and release the volume up button.
2. Then immediately press and release the volume down button.
3. Then, press and hold the single sleep/wake/power button You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.
Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your 2018 iPad Pro will boot up completely to the iPad Pro’s Lock screen.
Then, do a simple reset of the Home wireless/WiFi network MODEM/router box by unplugging from power for 15-20 seconds, or so.
Then re-plug into power and let the MODEM/router box simply re-cycle itself.
Best of Luck to You!
iOS 15 update on iPad Pro 2021 no internet
