I've been struggling to connect my iPhone to my home Wi-Fi for a few days now, coinciding with the iOS 26.2 update. Initially, I thought the problem was my VPN since my phone connects quickly when I switch it off. After removing the VPN, I tried resetting the network settings, adjusting DNS settings manually, turning off the Private Wi-Fi address, disabling IP address tracking, and even changing the last digit of my IPv4 address. None of these worked! I'm sure I'm not alone in facing this frustrating issue. What have you all done to fix this, other than switching to Android, of course? I'd really appreciate any suggestions or shared experiences.

I haven't experienced this issue with my family's devices at all. Have you checked to see if your router might be blocking any data from your iPhone? You could try accessing a test site like https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html. If that loads, then it's likely a different problem.
I tried that link, but it says 'This connection is not private.' It's strange because another iPhone connects just fine to the same Wi-Fi. Is there a way to revert to an older iOS version?
