That also happens to all of us. You don't need iTunes though. With the device connected to the Mac via USB, go to Sharing on the Mac, select internet, select from wi-fi to USB and enable sharing. Now the iPad has internet whilst connected to the Mac
I'll be sure to check that out

Oh right! I've already read that. I don't see the big advantage compared to just doing a reset though. With the reset the issue is fixed whilst remaining on the beta, and if you have a recent backup you still lose nothing
Right - I also don't know how to on Windows or if it's even possible. But the recovery mode linked to by our friend, "Someone New" should work then
I have exactly the same issue only I can't restore because I can't turn off the "Find my iPad" feature as the new terms and conditions won't download even though I have connectivity by sharing the internet through my MacBook. I'm "dead in the water" with no real options. Any suggestions?
I would like to fix the WiFi problem on my iPad Air, still at the 11.3 Public Beta release. Pls bring me in contact with Apple engineering. I don’t want to restore to a previous version. I have reset my network settings without any result. I can’t use the report App as a Beta tester, my Apple ID IS NOT ACCCEPTED because of this issue. Regards ReneDekker.
If you cannot reset the iPad entirely (All content and settings, not just network settings), your only option is going back to 11.2.5 and perhaps trying another upgrade if you really insist on being on 11.3
Apple is aware of the issue and already have the info they need to work on the issue
ok, so I've tried all the above options and still am having the same issue, even on 11.2.5. I was going to try finding an older ipsw and restoring back to that, but just saw that Apple stopped signing the older versions so boop. I didn't have any troubles the whole time through 11.2.5 and all the betas until I installed 11.3 beta 1 and started getting the incorrect password > unable to join error and now even going back to an older version is still not helping.
Beta 2 did not fix my wifi problems on my iPad Mini 2. How do you 'enable internet sharing over USB'?

One more question from me. You say in another post
"The only solution we know of so far is to do a full "reset all contents and settings" whilst plugged into a Mac with USB and having that Mac share internet over USB so the reset process can verify your AppleID"
Do we know why that works? I had downgraded to 11.2.5 hoping that beta 2 would fix the wifi problems but it doesn't appear it did on my iPad Mini 2 (unless what was installed on the machine is beta 1 again, but the machine said it was installing beta 2...)
Thanks
NVM, I think I got it! I don't have the mini with me now, I'll test it later. Thanks!

I am in the same boat with an iPad mini 2, in spite of what Apple says that beta 2 fixes the problem. you should do what casperes1996 says, connect to a mac via USB, share wifi via usb, and reset all settings and contents. If it fixes the wifi issue, you can then restore content from a previous backup. I don't have my device with me, can't do it now, but I'll definitely do it in a few hours
well, looks like that even with internet sharing on my mac my iPad mini 2 running iOS 11.3 beta version 2 can't connect to wifi. wow
Hi, updated my iPad Air to 11.3 pb2. Still same issue. Full reset and erased my iPad. Restore back from iTunes. Now can connect to WiFi.
My problem is that I can’t even do that because the device does not seem to be able to share WiFi with the Mac. I also created an open network at home and the device is unable to connect with that too. I read that some people can’t connect even after downgrading. So, it does look like there are different forms of problems here related to WiFi connectivity
System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet -> Select from Wi-FI (if your Mac is connected via Wi-FI) and to USB iPad Bridge, then enable.
Honestly no cause. It's likely a state issue since a reset fixes it, but what state, I have not even a guess. But whatever it is, should either be made immutable or have safeguards put in to make sure it doesn't end up like this.
Gave you an answer regardless just in case.
Never has worked sadly. It's all or nothing

How did you try the wi-fi sharing?
Another solution is to do a full restore with Restore Mode on iTunes. That has worked for some.
It may be a general security authentication issue, seeing that there are other functions that also don't work, like connecting to iTunes outside of Restore Mode. And if I'm not mistaken, all devices affected lack a Secure Enclave.
I installed today IOS 11.3 Public Beta 2. The WiFi issue with protected connections still exist. Also the Apple ID verification is not fixed. Any suggestions what to do beside an IOS downgrade?
wi-fi sharing: iPad was connected to Mac via USB. I selected wifi sharing, and then selected USB iPad. That failed, iPad still could not connect. Then I selected all options for wifi sharing, and it still failed. You may have a point on Secure Enclave. But, wrt 'a full restore' on iTunes, wouldn't I restore to factory settings? And then what? Are there people that did a full restore to factory settings and then installed the beta and had no issues? Because they way I see it, even with a full restore, installing the beta would still generate the connectivity issues. But if there are users that got rid of the connectivity issues on the beta by first doing a full restore and then installing the beta, I'd be happy to try that. Except that it's one of the few things I haven't seen reported.
