I have not seen that before, but the first thing I would do is to Reset your Network Settings. This is done by going to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings.


Details about what is involved with resetting the network are provided here:

Reset Network Settings: All network settings are removed. In addition, the device name assigned in Settings > General > About is reset to “iPhone,” and manually trusted certificates (such as for websites) are changed to untrusted.

Cellular data roaming may also be turned off. (See View or change cellular data settings on iPhone.)

When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile or mobile device management (MDM) are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and Ask to Join Networks settings remain turned on.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Clear the Caches:

What all the characters? Well, that is your SSID -IOW: The name of your network. So, what do you see for the name of your network, when you view it on another device?


Clearing System Dats "Other":

Clear the storage named "System Data" (Formerly called "Other"). It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use.
