IPad IOS 10.3.3 wifi issues

my dad has an iPad he gave me, barley used and works just fine. I completely reset it to factory new and it just won’t connect to the internet. I had just got a new pc so I know connecting to my wifi is just fine. I tried my phone hotspot too and it won’t let me connect. I’ve got through all the articles I can find and they all just say update ur iPad or restart the router. I cant update my iPad If i cant Even connect to the internet. Nor can I do LITERALLY ANYTHING AT ALL. Leave it to apple to not let me do a basic thing to use the entirety of the iPad

Windows, Windows 10

Start with basic WiFi troubleshooting - as detailed here:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support

Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support


Consider that your Router, to which you are attempting to connect, may be configured to require support for security features that are not supported by older versions of iOS. If you have an older iPad and your router is configured for WPA3 or WPA3/WPA2 mixed authentication, you will need to change this to WPA2 PSK(AES). Newer models of iPad support WPA3.


Some Mesh WiFi Routers are known to be troublesome in some circumstances.
