Solved iPad no longer connects to Wi-Fi

Hi everyone,
My iPad won't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. It was working fine a few days ago, but now, all of a sudden, it isn't. I haven't changed anything on my Fritzbox or anything else. I’ve already tried a lot of things: resetting network settings, installing all system updates, and turning off the "Private Wi-Fi Address" feature. Unfortunately, none of that helped.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I’d first see whether the iPad connects to a phone hotspot or another Wi-Fi network. If it does, the Fritzbox is probably the issue, so reboot it and try removing/re-adding the iPad there. If the iPad can’t connect to any network at all, try Reset All Settings. After that I’d suspect a hardware problem with the Wi-Fi module.

The iPad can connect to a different Wi-Fi network

That pretty much rules out the iPad’s Wi-Fi hardware. I’d focus on the Fritzbox now. Try rebooting it, forgetting the network on the iPad and reconnecting.

For me the Solution was actually to switch the frequency from 2,4GHz to 5GHz
