After erasing, now restoring to backup, my iphone 11 is having trouble connecting to my wifi. I checked and it is up and running on all other devices. What is the problem?

Thanks. Now I have another issue. I went through the process of restoring from backup - hours ago! And my phone still shows, "An estimated 500 mb will be required to finish restoring your apps and data." And then, nothing ...

If you are using an iCloud backup, you will need to keep the device connected to power and a stable wi-fi to let it finish the backup. I picked up my iPhone 13 Pro this afternoon, and started the setup at the store. I've come home and am watching it work away. It has over 15GB of data to restore. It is down the 6.8GB left. I'm getting ready for bed, and expect that it will be done when I get up in the morning.
