iPad Internet Connection Problems

Hello! My iPad Air (4th gen) is not connecting to the internet. My iPhone, husbands android (I know it’s embarrassing), our gaming consoles, and really all electronics are connected to the same wifi server and doing just fine.


When I try to connect to (any internet) the wifi my iPad comes up with a message saying “no internet connection”. It might connect for 1/4 second before this message appears, but often no connection at all.


I have unplugged the router, turned the iPad off and on, turned the wifi off and on, and even let the iPad completely run out of battery and then recharge it. No improvements.


I also tried to connect the iPad to my hotspot with no avail. Other wifi networks bring up the same message.
