Anyone else experience this?

Just started happening, and I am not sure if it is iOS 11, or something else.

My wifi keeps disconnecting, and my phone keeps dropping down to LTE. The control center wifi toggle does nothing.

If I go into settings, I can manually connect to wifi, but it drops again later within 10 minutes.

Is your WiFi a hidden network? Or is the WiFi you’re referring to at work and the access points are setup with Cisco ISE?
 
I’m having this issue as well. WiFi connection on our phones has been very inconsistent here. iPads are rock solid.

I’ve sent several bug reports dealing with WiFi, on 11.1 beta 1.

Go to Settings > Cellular > (Scroll to the very bottom) disable "Wi-Fi Assist"

Wi-Fi Assist will disconnect you from Wifi if you wifi signal sucks.
 
Big issue here, make my 6 unusable at home. I have two routers and wifi nets and disconnected unless I am 1-2m to the router since I updated to ios11. I never get disconnected in any previous iOS
2 meters!! from routers in open air (no walls) and it looses 1 mark in wifi icon.
Seriously considering downgrading, cause it starts connecting through LTE, have to disconnect cell data once I enter home.
IMHO Apple (once again) has changed measurement of wifi signal and drops connection at a higher minimum than before
Very disappointed :(
 
This is similar to the TV app, where auto play next episode was removed and Up Next introduced with no option to turn on/off auto play next episode. If I’m binging a TV show, I don’t want to have to click to play next episode. Why is it so hard to give a toggle for on/off just like Netflix?
Apple just changes and you have to adapt. Like it or not.
