I have an iPhone 14 Pro on the latest iOS 17.4.1.

In the last few days I’ve had a weird WiFi issue that I didn’t initially have.

Basically I use WiFi at my work and then at my home. I usually keep it on and don’t turn it off. When I go from work to home or vice versa it usually just auto connects to each without issue.

In the last few days I noticed it doesn’t auto connect. I have to manually type in the password each time I get home. I’ve never had to do that. Nothing has changed with my password or anything. Same at work. Is this a possible antenna issue? I’ve tried a network reset, I’ve checked WiFi settings which haven’t changed.

What about SW on your router/AP at home?
Have a look at the logs or check if it has updated recently.

Doubt its an antenna issue if you can get online with just entering the password.

Is it a company phone managed by your company? If so, ask IT if they have changed anything on their side (you can push out new configs to phones).

Try and setup a "guest network" on your home router and see if it autoconnects to that one.
