iPad WiFi issues with iOS 17.1.1

I recently upgraded my iPad Pro 3rd generation to iOS 17 along with my iPhone 14 Pro and both had WiFi connectivity issues on my home network (never happened previously). After turning off ”Private WiFi Address” on both, my iPhone is testing at 70Mbps whereas the iPad is still between 1 - 3 Mbps on the exact same network. Is there a fix for this? The only thing different before and after my issue is iOS upgrade.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

After ANY iOS/iPadOS upgrade/update, you should ALWAYS perform a simple hard reset/forced restart of your Apple mobile device.


For iPad models with a Home button, do a simple hard reset/forced restart of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.


OR


For much newer design iPad models, without a Home button, try the new simple hard reset/forced restart procedure for the new 2018-2022 iPad Pros, 2020/21 iPad Air 4 and 5, the 2021 iPad Mini 6 and the new 2022, 10th gen base models,


1. Press and release the volume button closest to the top Power button


2. Then immediately ( and quickly ) press and release the volume button farthest from the top Power button.


3. Then, press and hold the top single sleep/wake/power button You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.


Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your 2018-2022 iPad will boot up completely to the iPad’s Lock screen.
