Before updating my iPad to iPadOS 17.5.1 I could connect to ethernet. After updating I have no connection with my ethernet.
Also I remember in the past I had an ethernet status on menu bar close to battery status.
I have checked my cables, adapters and network connection everything is fine.

Presumably your iPad has a USB-C connection - and you are using a USB-C Ethernet Adapter or USB-C hub with a built-in Ethernet connection.
When the Adapter or Hub is connected, do you see the Ethernet connection in iPad settings?
Settings > Ethernet
Assuming that the Ethernet connection is visible in iPad settings, when connected to your wired Ethernet network, do you see an IP Address in the associated settings?
Internet connection difficulties are usually an indication that your device does not have a routable IP Address - your IP Address usually being assigned by DHCP. When problems occur, your iPad may only have a self-assigned link-local IP address that begins 169.254.x.x.
If you have a VPN App or profiles installed, or a security/AV/firewall App such as Norton, these may be interfering with DHCP and preventing your device from obtaining a valid IP Address for the Ethernet network to which you are attempting to connect. The resolution is usually simple; if installed, you may only need to temporarily disable or remove the Security App and/or VPN.
DHCP is frequently used to automatically obtain an IP Address. Until your iPad has a valid IP Address to connect to your network, you will not have an internet connection. Disabling or removing VPN and/or the offending security App should allow DHCP to operate normally - allowing connection to your network and the internet.
If this resolves your issue, the VPN and/or security App can be reinstated after the connectivity problem has been resolved.
If some Apps are working as expected, while others are not - or other devices can connect to your WiFi network - you may find that a restart of your WiFi Router, followed by a restart of your iPad will clear the problem….
To restart your router, disconnect power from the router for at least 30 seconds - then reconnect power to restart. After your router reboots (which may take several minutes), force restart your iPad:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
