17 Pro Max and old iPad will not connect to the Wi-Fi

I cannot connect to the internet on any of my apple devices for two days now. Does anyone know what the problem is? I read something about an update causing a problem. I've reset the network on all my devices and still nothing. None of my app's work. Help! I have the 17 pro max

Thanks but, I have done that several times and still I cannot connect and it is not just the router at my home. I am so puzzled. I can't even connect when I turn off wi-fi and try to connect using my data.
By chance do you use a VPN on your devices? VPNs are completely not needed on any iOS device and only cause issues, such as connectivity issues.
Shoot that never crossed my mind.

When anyone posts about connectivity issues, especially with Wifi these days, it's the first thing I ask. Apple is definitely making it harder and harder to use a VPN on iOS based devices and they cause issues like the Author is asking about.

Reboot your home router.

Reset network settings on all devices.
