Hey everyone.. not sure if this helps but I had this issue and found that wifi settings on the iPhone automatically ses the “Private address” under wifi settings to on. So this creates a new MAC address and if you are using Mac filtering on your router (like I was) it will block connectivity. Turned this off and all started working as it was before 😊

I've experienced this too, right after the iOS 14.7. 1 update. Milliions may not experience this, a few might. That's logical. Perhaps it's best for someone at Apple to actively look into this. This is an iPhone 12 Pro, nothing unusual is on it, apart from a VPN (which aren't that unusual to use), but maybe that's the issue. If so, this update is problematic to those who use VPNs, potentially. I changed my VPN's settings to IKEv2 and I'm back on WiFi. Hope that helps someone else.
