iPad connected to wifi, but no wifi icon and no internet access?

If you have a VPN and this happens to you make sure you uninstall it and then it'll hopefully come back - in my case it was TunnelBear, I uninstalled and it instantly went back to normal. You can always reinstall it afterwards and if it happens again just repeat the process

I had no internet but I had network connection on my wife’s iPad but all other devices were fine. I tried all the usual things - soft and hard restart, resetting network settings etc. I was about to reset to factory and restore but i couldn't get the code that was sent to her account. Thats when I checked her iPhone - no internet there either!

I contacted our provider and was told there was wireless interference. I changed modem settings (bandwidth and channel) as instructed and now everything works.

I was certain I had a hardware issue, but it was the modem all along!

If you have network but no internet, contact the provider, or go to another trusted network (maybe your mom’s place?) and see if you get a connection before you do a full restore!

Does this happen with any and all wifi networks or just your home network?

Not sure if this was on the list of things you tried but try Forgetting your network using the Settings app.

Settings > Wi-Fi > Select Your Wi-Fi Network > Tap on Forget This Network

Then let the iPad attempt to reconnect to your network.

Here's a link to an Apple support page for trouble shooting Wi-Fi. If you've tried all these things, I would go through the list again.

If you still can't connect perhaps you should have a technician examine your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

I have the exact same issue.

Did this occur by chance after installing MobileIron?

I had the exact same thing with a brand new iPad Air, fresh out of the box. The fix above worked for me!

I'm having a similar problem in a strange context. Recently I updated our router to a BT Smart Hub. It worked welll except for one thing, that the MyTifi app, which lets one control a networked Samsung TV from an iPad, did not connect reliably to the TV. The router manual attributes this to the fact that the router sets up two networks, one on the 2.4GHz band and one for 5GHz, meaning that you may end up with the iPad and the TV set on different networks, in which situation My Tifi will not work. What BT suggest is that configure the router so that the two networks have different IDs, as this lets you control which network each device connects to, and should get round this problem. However, when I do this I get this problem, that the wifi settings panel indicates a connection but there is no icon or internet access. I've tried various fixes but the only thing that renders the iPad usable again is to reverse the process so that the two networks appear as one. Strange! Well, it's no big deal: My Tifi is very nice but one can still use ye olde infra-red remote for control!
