Private Wi-Fi Address issue

When I turn off iPhone 12 private wi-fi address for either one of my home networks, my phone shows being connected to my network but has No Internet Connection in orange under the network name.


Other family iPhones and iPads don’t have this problem on out network. Just this one phone. All other WiFi settings are the same as connected phones.


Thoughts?

Try first to optimize the range of the mobile network, see this Apple article:

You need to assign the iPhone 12 a MAC & a private IP address.

Log in to the router, add your iPhone NAME + iPhone MAC + private IP address.

 

Your iPhone MAC address is: go to Settings -> General -> About -> the Wi-Fi address (note this address).

Assign a private IP address to the iPhone, for example 192.168.x.xxx or 169.254.x.xxx. 

This depends on the router & other iDevices that have already been added.

What is important, check the list and the last xxx must be different from the iDevices that have already been added.
