iPhone suddenly can't connect wifi when the private address is on

My iPhone suddenly can't connect wifi when the private address is on. I want to use the private address as before, but I can only connect wifi when the private address is off. I reset network settings several times, but it's not working.

iPhone 7, iOS 14

The issue, more than likely, is with your router. Did you or your ISP change something in the settings of your router? Before we check that, you can try a simple technique which is to unplug your router for about 40 seconds and then plugging it back into electrical power. Then connect your iPhone to the Wi-Fi network and ensure that you can connect to the internet. After that, turn Private Address back to ON. See whether you can still connect to the internet.
