iPad Air stuck on Wi-Fi Network screen after iPadOS update

I just installed the iPadOS 27.0.1 update for my iPad Air and I cannot move past the Wi-Fi Network screen. I have attempted to force restart multiple times, but it does not move past this screen.

What else can I try?

Try the steps in “If your iPad turns on but gets stuck during startup“ here.
