Specific iPhone and specific wifi server not working well together

My iPhone continuously has trouble with the internet server at our house, and the issue seems mainly to be limited to this device. My wife’s iPhone, my iPad, our Macbook all work fine with the server. Sometimes turning off wifi on my phone altogether will do the trick—either relying completely on cellular data, or by turning wifi back on. Sometimes this doesn’t do the trick.

I’ve tried restarting the phone, restarting the server, and the problem doesn’t go away. My phone doesn’t have a problem with other servers, e.g., out at a cafe. It seems maddeningly as if my iPhone 11 (iOS 16.7.1) and our Comcast server simply don’t care for each other’s company.

I can’t say I’m optimistic about an answer to this, but if anyone’s got the slightest guess . . .

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Try reset network settings on your phone, you will have to reenter known wifi passwords again.
