"Wi-Fi won’t work and allow reset up: Is it worth repairing an iPad mini 4 when Wi-Fi isn’t working if I’ve wiped the iPad? When I try to connect it to my computer it won’t identify it either, so I don’t know if I should replace it or try getting it repaired."

Syncing an iPhone and a Computer:
Go Here: Sync Content Between your Mac and iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Check Security Software:
See if Security Software is disallowing this, by use of firewalls and trusted devices. Uninstall then Security Software from your Mac. It just gets in the way, and this is a pure example of how and why.
No Success?...
It's Time to Upgrade:
Frankly, rather than getting this repaired, I'd take this as a good reason to get a much more recent iPhone.
