XS Max wifi issues

I have an XS Max, and sometimes while playing videos over wifi, the video will stop and I get a message saying to check my wifi signal or the signal strength is weak. I checked my wifi and the signal is strong and I get 125Mbps up and down. I've already cleared out my wifi connections on the phone and reconnected. What would be causing me to get the signal strength message?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 12

Did you ever hear back from the technicians you spoke to after providing the logs they requested? I’m here to report that my issue has still not been resolved. Was hoping that 12.1.1 might have addressed it, but it clearly hasn’t. I’m now debating whether I want to try and get a replacement phone or a brand new router. I still have not experienced this WiFi issue on any other WiFi network but my home WiFi. It works fine on my college campus’ WiFi network, and it works fine on the WiFi network at my fiancé’s parents’ house. I’ve tested it extensively on both for several hours doing the same types of tasks that normally cause my WiFi to hang up and stop working at home, and it just does not happen anywhere else but my house. It’s just weird that multiple other iOS devices in the same house and room do not exhibit this behavior. It’s only the XS Max.

None of this helps. The 5GHZ connection drops out constantly. I have contacted apple support and they too indicate there maybe a problem. The latest iOS release didn’t resolve this issue either for a $1200 phone. Sad!! Samsung seems to be a better option if this isn’t fixed. My 4G/LTE is also slow and slower than my iPhone 7plus. I have no issues with the iPhone 7plus on the same network in the same location
