Unable to connect to Wi-Fi on my new iPhone 16 Pro

I just bought an iPhone 16 Pro. Everything transferred great. Came home, connected to my home wifi, great. Within a few hours tho, I noticed the wifi was sporadically disconnecting and reconnecting - like every 3-4 seconds. After some internet searching and reading, I ended up uninstalling Microsoft Defender VPN connection - that worked. Now my iPhone stays connected to my wifi continuously no problem. Hope this helps someone.

VPN is the most common cause of connectivity problems→VPN: What you need to know - Apple Community

Start here→If your iPhone won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network 

If you have a “coffee shop” VPN app installed, remove it, restart, and try again.
