Admittedly this is gonna sound like some bs, but with the settings screen open and the Wi-Fi slider visible try this:
Push the sides of the iPad Mini towards each other with the palms of your hands *Imagine yourself giving Spongebob a Coke Bottle figure.
Don’t apply enough pressure to break it, but enough to be uncomfortable to hold for about 15 seconds.
If you didn’t go green and Hulk it to death in frustration, then you might see the Wi-Fi slider change from grey to green.
If it doesn’t turn green then turn it off and back on and it should work again for a while.
I haven’t seen this “fix” mentioned anywhere online so hopefully it helps and someone who is more knowledgeable than I, can chime in with why it works (assuming I’m not delusional) and what to do internally to address the issue in a permanent maner.
