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.

I'm sorry to be a party pooper, but tried this yesterday with no luck... It seems like my Wi-Fi problem has been incorporated into the backup, so whenever I try to restore my phone from my backup after resetting it, the problem came back.


Right now I'm trying to save my photos at least, so I can reset my phone to factory settings and set it up as a brand new device... :-/

Same issue, My iphone loses internet access & need to restart the router several times till it regains its access , This happens only with ny home Router, doesnt occur on other routers, all other home devices work well , nothing wrong with router, Dont know when exactly this started but I think after installing iOS 14. I hope could be solved soon because it’s annoying me, currently writing this message from cellular data.
