    14.1 and 14.2 randomly disconnecting from wifi

    I had 14.1 on an XR and switched to a 12 with 14.2. Found the same random auto disconnect on this brand new iphone 12. This is a really irritating problem and only "fixed" by shutting down and rebooting. Anyone else with a similar issue?

    The first time I had to reauthenticate with my name/pw but now I just tap on the network and it reconnects. Highly annoying. Is anyone else having this problem?
