RBK852 - iPhone occasionally losing connection

I've observed some strange behaviour with my Orbi system (RBR850, one wired satellite, one wireless satellite) and my iPhone 13 mini.   Periodically (maybe once a week or so) the phone will lose it...

    Hi There,

     

    What is your iOS?

     

    Apple in iOS 16 introduce a lot of Wi-Fi problems according to forums. One of the main ones discuss was that iPhone is connected to the network but it is choosing to use Cellular data over Wi-Fi if it thinks data is better than Wi-Fi. Apple improved this but there will be occasions where is still choses cellular data over Wi-Fi. 

     

    Now currently there appears to be a bug where it appears that the iPhone is taking forever to connect to the network but when you leave the settings tab and come back it is connected but top corner shows it is still using cellular data.
