I am facing the same issue. All other devices on wifi are perfectly fine. Iphone is not detecting any wifi even I placed the phone next to the router. This can be solved temporarily by restarting iphone or resetting network setting which I am doing everytime I unlock my screen

I can report the same issue in my house also even after buying a new router. Two iPhone 11s, two iPhone XR’s and an iPhone 7. Oh and an iPad Air 2. All do the same thing. WiFi disconnects and you have to go in and manually choose to connect to the network. All other WiFi devices in the house work fine, including the Macs. If you search for “iOS 14.2 WiFi issues” it does appear to be an issue impacting a number of people. Very frustrating.
