How to resolve Sidecar connection problems after updating to iPadOS 17.3.1

Sidecar was working for me until I updated my IPad Pro 12.9 (2nd Edition). I updated to IPad 17.3.1. The sidecar option is not working for me. I keep saying “Sidecar can’t connect wirelessly because your IPad’s Wi-Fi is not available. To use Sidecar wirelessly, turn on Wi-Fi and make sure it is not in use for personal hotspot.”

I have a MacBook Pro 15 in 2017 with a IPad Pro 12.9 (2nd Edition). They are connected to the same internet.

I did not have problem with sidecar until I updated the IPad.

Thank you for your time and help

Did you already tried this steps?:

Turn off all yor devices
Turn off your modem router for at least 1 minute
Turn it back on and wait for its complete autoconfiguration (it might take some minutes)
Turn your iPad back on and make sure it's connected to your wifi network with Internet access.
Turn on your Mac and make sure it's connected to your wifi network with Internet access.

Test Sidecar
