iOS 14.0.1 wifi issues
My iPhone cannot connect with the WiFi since the update IOS 14.1.. What can I do?

iPhone 11, iOS 14
Ask Lawrence Finch for the steps to take.
Question marked as
Any WiFi router that has MAC filter enabled may not accept the “Private” MAC address feature of the new feature added in iOS 14.0.1 to each WiFi profile saved. Turning off the private Mac Address on the specific WiFi profile may allow your device to connect.
Another issue is it connects fine but moments later it prompts for password on a saved profile. Turning off “wifi assist” in Cellular settings (absolute bottom of the list) will allow the device to remain connected on weaker range areas of this wifi profile.
I suspect the failing over to WiFi profile flip flopping is triggering a false positive on the algorithm that the wifi profile saved is incorrect and thus asks for a re-authentication.

This a problem only Apple can fix.
Well iOS 14.2 did NOT fix the problem.
You are absolutely right!!!!!!

Sorry. I am using WPA2 Personal with latest software/firmware installed.
Thanks. My Linksys EA7500 only offers the following options:
I've done that multiple times, in that specific sequence, including with Apple Support on the line with me.
Thank you. I will it a try this weekend. Best regards.
Well, your point of view conflicts with facts. As I said, the weak security message is just a warning that your router can be hacked. It won’t prevent your phone from using your hackable router.
Me. Finch,
you seem to have concord the problems many of us cannot resolve.
Do make house calls, or have time for a zoom call for those that are interested?
The priority is to sell as Apple products as fast as they can. Service is down the road while wi-go goes down the drain.
Thanks for the followup.
