Default wifi strangeness

Return signal from phone has too low a level. Does it work reliably near the
router?
If yes, then almost certainly time to get a new phone, if not then check it
is seeing the correct form of protection. In the main if its running at
least ios 11 then it should be ok. Anything else and who knows. Most of the
Iphones since about the 8 have dual band wifi, and my 10r always uses the 5
gig band not the rather interference prone 2.5 gig one.

Tested by Tim, wifi signal adequate throughout kitchen/dining area.

Internet radio works OK although there have been a few outages which
seemed to coincide with Openreach installing some additional cabling
nearby.

Ancient i phone will not connect saying the Wi-Fi password key is
incorrect. Router 12 months or so from installation, not running hot or
any other symptoms. Hardwired connection to desktop OK.

Any ideas?
