I have a problem with the Wi Fi connection since 14.5 and I patiently waited for Apple to release 14.6 in the hope that they fixed this bug, but nothing has changed.When the phone is restarted, the phone connects to the Wi Fi network but does not work. Interestingly, if a friend let my hot spot work without a problem, but when it is on any Wi Fi connection to the router does not work. About an hour later he recovers and starts working. I wrote to Apple several times to tell them about the problem, in my post here other people said they had the same problem but Apple didn't seem to notice. I hope that with iOS 15 I will finally have a normally working Wi Fi Thanks Apple, innovative as always.

My advice deals with the sudden wlan disconnects or drops - it’s router related. “Older” device have problems with the private address. Did you try a different DNS like 8.8.8.8?
No but I will try later. The problem is that this happens to any router I connect to, but there is no problem if I use hot spot from another phonе. I never had such a problem before…

Have you tried Reset Network Settings?

Several times I even did a restore via iTunes the problem still. I saw that other people have the same problem, but I can't contact Apple in any way, their phone doesn't answer, and their support team can't help me in any way. The problem is terrible and if it doesn't work out I don't know what to do

Install Apple‘s Support app - that’s from my experience the fastest way to get things resolved. on the other hand -and as others already asked - it would be good to know your router model, firmware version if possible. If WiFi works with one device which routes the access but not with the other (your router), it seems to be the obvious ducated guess to check your router.
 
I know you mentioned this happens on all wifi networks you connect to however make sure you try power cycling the network that is the easiest to test the issue on (home?).

An access point not playing nice with a specific device isn't unheard of, its actually fairly common. There are a few things that can go wrong and hinder performance during the negotiation process. There are a few factors that can exasperate the problem as well, like a "smart" router that monitors individual devices (such as the ones provided by many ISP). Or using the same SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Or already overly crowded wifi channels. Or hidden SSID's conflicts with a once known but now updated device. Or protocol conflicts such as Bonjour or something being whacky causing all sorts of odd issues. Protocol conflicts used for VOIP with wifi calling. etc. etc.

If you've already done that or it doesn't fix the issue make sure to post back with the router brand and model and iPhone model.
