The WiFi on my 17 Pro keeps dropping. I read that it’s a common issue before iOS 26.0.1 but mine still has it.

Anyone else on the same boat as I am ? I really don’t know what to do about this
 
Does the wifi indicator show no wifi or does it just stop streaming? I’ve been having the latter on my 17PM. Shows full signal but at times a streaming video just hangs. I go to cellular data and it picks right back up.

Same happened to me with my new 17 Pro when I purchased it.

I forgot the Wi-Fi network and reconnected again and everything has worked fine since.

What happens is that it disconnects from the network for a few seconds and then it reconnects back to it.

It’s the same as your case that when it does disconnect from the WiFi it connects to the data for a few seconds and then back to the WiFi.
 
Maybe your router keeps changing the channel and that's causing the temporary drop.

Do other devices on your home wifi have the same issue? If not, then ignore this advice 😁
 
Try re-setting Network Settings? (Settings/General/Transfer or Reset iPhone/Reset/Reset Network Settings)

Your iPhone will re-boot, and you will have to re-enter passwords for all previously known Wi-Fi networks.

My 16 PM regularly dropped at one spot in my home but the 17 PM so far has been working great in that same spot.
