Phone dropping home wifi connection

I’m having new problem with second generation iPhone SE where it keeps disconnecting from my home Wi-Fi. Have done all the usual fixes including unplugging and turning off the modem and router multiple times as well as resetting the network settings and doing a full restore of the phone and nothing seems to help.

I’ve never had this problem before and I’m wondering if it’s a result of the latest update and if anyone else is having a similar issue?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

How often is it disconnecting from your home wi-fi? What are you doing when it disconnects? By design, if you are not actively using wi-fi and the iPhone is not connected to power, when the screen locks, it will disconnect from wi-fi. However, it will reconnect automatically when you unlock the phone. Is this what is happening?

No that’s the problem it’s not automatically reconnecting at all. I am having to manually connect to my home Wi-Fi now and it’s getting very annoying. I’ve never had this problem before and have tried every fix that I know of.
