I updated my iPad 6th generation (A1893, Wi-Fi model) to iPadOS 17.7.11 and since then the internet has completely stopped working.
The strange part is that Wi-Fi itself seems to connect normally. The iPad gets a valid local IP address (192.168.x.x), but nothing can access the internet.
So far I've tried:
- Restarting the iPad
- Forgetting and reconnecting to Wi-Fi
- Connecting to a completely different Wi-Fi network
- Connecting through my phone's hotspot
- Reset Network Settings
- Checking DNS/proxy settings
- Recovery Mode → Update from my Mac, which reinstalled iPadOS
Nothing has fixed it.
Other devices work fine on the same Wi-Fi and hotspot, so it doesn't seem to be a router/internet problem. This only started after installing 17.7.11.
I was hoping to downgrade to iPadOS 16, but as far as I can tell Apple isn't signing any older iPadOS version for the iPad 6th gen anymore.
Has anyone experienced this issue, or does anyone know of a solution?
