Try switching off Private Relay in your iPad settings.

OK, check that Configure DNS is set to Automatic in WiFi settings.

OK, one more thing: again under WiFi settings, is your Private WiFi address set to Fixed, or otherwise?

Set to fixed.

Hmm. And have you checked that the DNS settings actually match the server settings? I'm running out of ideas here tbh.

Yes they are the same, many thanks for your help. Hopefully someone else will come up with something else.

Are you using TalkTalk DNS server settings in your router? Maybe change those to third-party e.g. Google DNS.

The thing is we have another iPad and two iPhones with the same settings and they work fine. It’s just baffling.

Right. Does the offending iPad have the latest iPadOS on board? Maybe try a hard reset?

Done a full factory reset this morning hoping that would work but it didn’t

OK my friend, well that's me all out I'm afraid. Reach out to Apple directly, perhaps?

Ok no problem, thanks for all your help.
