Need help my phone keeps dropping the wifi. Nothing else is dropping just my phone. Any suggestion on how to fix this or why it's happening?

Yes. Me too. I have an iPhone X using WiFi calling on T-mobile. It happened on an hour long call about 4 times. I seem to be the only one with problem on our network as my wife has an iPhone 6 and it seems to work well for her with very ocassional dropped call. I am usually staying in the same location, not moving about the house, when it happens. The call just dies and I have to call back. I also had it happen on a call when they came back from being on hold, they couldn't hear me. Weird.
One thing I tried that seemed to help is to turn off UPnP. I saw a post where you adjust the Advertisement Time to Live to 16. I did this, but then decided to simply move the UPnP Portmap list to actual Port Forwarding and turn off UPnP. I havent' really had a long call to test this and I have no idea if it does anything. I was having other problems (2.4gHz Harmony Remote connecting to far away Orbi Sat, not the one in the room) that didn't get fixed with this.
