No WiFi configuration page after iPadOS 18.3.1 factory reset

After factory resetting two iPad Air (5th) with iPadOS 18.3.1 the WiFi configuration page does not appear before the Remote Management page (enhance why "Invalid Profile" appears -- there no WiFi connection).

Order of events:

  1. Update one Pad via Mac and another iPad via PC with latest Apple Devices App (up arrow, down arrow, hold button until computer and cable appears, and then click Update)
  2. Hello screen
  3. select language
  4. select Your Country or Region
  5. select Appearance
  6. (should have WiFi Configuration page here (or before Appearance above), but nothing)
  7. Remote Management page - click Enroll this iPad
  8. Remote Management "Invalid Profile"

...the user is shut down, one can only click < Back


Is this a misconfiguration or an installer bug?
