How can I control an iPad that is on a different WiFi network?
(my 93 year old dad who lives in another state, has difficulty navigating the use of his iPad, I’d like to be able to remotely control it and call up apps for him, etc )

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
iOS/iPadOS has no facility for remote control or remote management of the device.
The best that you can likely achieve is to use FaceTime (or other communication platform) - and literally “talk-though” a problem; if you have similar hardware, and the same version of iPadOS installed, you should be able to work through a problem step-by-step.
When using FaceTime - and both devices are using iOS/iPadOS 15.1 or later - you can quite literally share and see whatever is on screen:
Make and receive FaceTime calls on iPad - Apple Support
Share your screen in FaceTime on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Hey, whats the software you use? I need to use something like this for my mother as well.

iOS 18 (arriving later this year) has remote support capabilities.
