I can't connect an iPad to a MacBook as a second monitor. Can you tell me how I can fix this? The Sidecar cannot connect wirelessly because the Wi‑Fi network of this iPad is unavailable. To use Sidecar wirelessly, turn on Wi‑Fi and make sure that it is not being used in modem mode.

I still haven't found a solution.
Took me a while but I finally solved it on mine:
IN iPad Settings, next to your name and photo, Check your iCloud Sync on iPad. IF it's showing errors to solve or other issues to correct, it should solve the sidecar connectivity issue.
Again, in ICloud, Make sure you aren't having trouble with your back up or end to end encryption of data sharing.
You can find this setting in your iPad settings next to your name and photo. Good Luck!
SOLVED IT. FINALLY!
Go to iPad settings, and next to your name and photo, if you have issues with iCloud Sync, or your Name, etc., if you clear out the errors, it might solve your issues as well. For me, once I cleared the encryption between iPad and MacBook and iCloud Sync, I was once again able to connect as I always did.
Good Luck!
Sign out and Sign In your apple ID on both devices. Works for me!
has anyone figured this out yet?
Yes… Check my answer in this thread, see if that helps you!
This worked. I just disabled Handoff on both devices and then enabled both again and it cleared the hurdle.
That was it for me too! Thank you!
