It could be coming from various sources.

Force quit safari. Double tap the home button, flick the preview for safari up and off the screen. You can tap on the home screen preview or tap the home button to exit the mode. Then go into the settings, safari and throwaway/delete your history.

Try to open safari again and see if the popups come back.

Then it may be something else. Have you installed any new apps lately? Sometimes free apps come with 'bonus' ads (that's how the developers pay for them)

There may also be issues with your router, which is something I don't know enough about to offer any help.

Try this again,,,,

Close Safari

Open Settings->Safari-> Clear History & website data.

Also, make sure Block pop-ups is enabled. If it is, toggle it off then on again.

Also try resetting your iPad by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally.
