CQ18t and CQmix pad not connecting after updating to 16.7.5

I recently purchased a CQ18T. The setup was easy and I got things up and running in very little time. I downloaded the CQ mixpad and was able to hook up and use the ipad as a remote controller.
The problem I am experiencing is the wifi communication with my ipad. It was connected to the CQ18t through the CQ’s wireless network. Then came the ios update. Since then the ipad sees the cq18t wireless network but does not connect.
The ios version currently on the ipad is 16.7.5

If you’re still having the above issue, have you tried deleting the CQ Micpad app from the tablet then re-installing it?

You need to go into settings on your iPad and allow it to connect. This has been a common issue since Apple’s latest update.
