I noticed today that I cannot connect to wifi here at work or my home. I have tried rebooting the iphone hard and soft and even tried to reset network setting. Still no luck

Are you receiving an Incorrect Password message? Also, Apple pushed out beta 4. Let us know if you see the same issue once you update.
 
I've struggled to find culprit on wifi issues.

Private Address conflicts with using any VPN. Even AdGuard Pro.

Netgear Nighthawk issues
Wi-Fi 6
Having to turn off modem and router, wait 5 minutes plus 5 more for each to come back online.

My iphone X has more trouble than the 11 (non-Pro if that matters).

Started about halfway through iOS 14 beta.

I have the Nighthawk with wifi 6 and Since I disabled Private address, I’ve had no issues with it, even using VPN on my iPhone 11 Pro & iPad Pro (2018).

I only use private address when connecting to a public WiFi network, since that’s kinda the whole point of it.
 
Between Surface Laptop 2 & Go (terrible Wi-Fi), Samsung Note20 & 20 (excellent, rarely trouble full WiFi 6 AX support), 2 - Apple TV4K (No issue), it's iPad Mini 5 and iPhone X that are main trouble. Never issue with 2015 MacBook but then its not using wifi, sits next to router and had ethernet (same as SurfaceLaptop).

I'm going to swap out for newer model Nighthawk, use an older Netgear as AP.

Happens most often mid-afternoon - maybe school lets out and neighborhood loop is congested? Rebooting modem/router is a temp fix.
