iPhone won't stay connected to WiFi

My iPhone frequently and randomly drops the connection to my home WiFi. I need to use WiFi calling as my phone signal is poor so often lose phone calls too. I am running iOS 14.8.1. I saw a fix in a previous thread that involved changing the MAC address but I have no idea how to do this. Grateful for any help in 'IT for dummies' language. Thanks!

Iphone 13 having problems connecting to wifi I have tried all the suggestions involving why my Iphone 13 has problems connecting to wifi and nothing works. Some days connecting to wifi works well on this phone. Other days when i need wifi service the phone has problems connecting. I did not have problems like this until after the 15.2 update. Does Apple have fix for this or are they working on it?

iPhone X can only connect to wifi within 5 feet any further it disconects My iPhone x only connects to wifi if 5 feet or closer, anywhere over 5 feet it disconnects, I have tried resetting, and changing DNS but nothing works, I also tried the hard reset system but it just takes me to siri, It is very frustrating sitting in my lounge not able to access my wifi, especially as my wife sitting next to me with a Samsung Galaxy9 has a great connection, anyone have a solution that may help me, This is the most expensive phone I have ever paid for and I am disappointed that it fails to connect properly.
