Every since I downloaded the latest update I haven’t been able to see the WiFi icon in the upper right corner of my iPad. My husband updated the router but it still doesn’t show. I can see that it’s connected in settings. Can anyone help?
iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
If you have a VPN App or profiles installed, or a security App such as Norton, these may be interfering with DHCP and preventing your device from obtaining a valid IP Address for your network. The resolution is relatively simple; may only need to temporarily disable or remove the Security App and/or VPN.
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.

Hello, my iPad connects to the internet but the WiFi signal does not show in the upper right corner of my iPad.
Do you have an iPad model with Wi-Fi + Cellular?
No, I don’t believe so. Just WiFi.
Thank you so much, that solved the problem!! I really appreciate your help.
