Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, bossmanAA.
If I understand your post correctly, your Lightning to VGA adapter is no longer working with your iPad on iOS 11. I'm happy to help.
Try these steps:

Get help

Find out what to do when you have the following issues.

If you see video but can't hear audio

Make sure that you're using a Digital AV adapter (which has an HDMI port). If you're using a VGA adapter, it doesn't carry audio signals. To hear audio with a VGA adapter, you need to connect to the headset jack on your TV, monitor, projector, or stereo.

If an app doesn't display video or play audio

The app might not be compatible with your adapter. Check compatibility on the app's info page in the App Store or contact the developer.

If an alert says that an HDCP-compatible device is required

Your content might not be compatible with your adapter. Movies, TV shows, and certain streaming video apps require High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you try to play these movies, shows, and streaming videos using a non-HDCP digital connection—like the Apple VGA Adapter—an alert will ask for an HDCP-compatible device.

If you need help with other issues

  1. Disconnect and reconnect your adapter from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and from your TV, monitor, or projector.
  2. Make sure that your VGA or HDMI cable works, since the issue could be with the cable.
  3. Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters. Accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signals to different video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) aren't compatible.
  4. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS.

I have the genuine Apple Lightning to VGA adaptor. I updated to iOS11 (I got tired of the constant nags), and the software that worked before the update doesn't anymore. Day Pro only displays the bottom right hand corner of the video, but in the top left corner of the external display. What did work perfectly, now doesn't. I have also tried Vjay to play video (which I used to use before Djay Pro was released), but that does exactly the same thing. I have an iPad mini 3 128GB which I have used for a couple of years specifically for playing Karaoke video.

It also takes quite some time for the display to appear, even when only on the Springboard. Disappointing and infuriating, it is not possible to roll back to a previous version of iOS.

Resetting network settings as Karim suggested, did successfully wipe out all of the wifi passwords that were stored (as expected), but did absolutely nothing for the VGA adaptor.
