My device gave the notification “Activation Required” after it was updated to IOS 15.5. It was not letting me dismiss the notification but I struggled through with it and got it past activation lock and then got it to the home screen with it not loading some applications. Any idea what to do now?

You’ll need to connect to a better WiFi network or instead use a Mac system via a wired Internet connection (using iTunes) to re-install the iPadOS. Your connection to Apples servers is not reliable enough or very slow.
