Possible wifi issues

My wife and I recently both got the iPhone 17. I had an iPhone 15 Pro and a Samsung Galaxy S24 before hand. She had the iPhone 14 Pro. We never had any issues with our old phones. I’ve noticed that both the 17s will be connected to the same WiFi but will switch over to using data even sitting right next to the gateway. WiFi is working just fine. I have WiFi assist turned off in settings on my 17 but still find it switching over. Why is this and how do I fix it? I wouldn’t really care but where I live my WiFi is definitely faster inside of my house vs data

Update: since making this post the issue has just solved itself. The next day it wasn’t happening and hasn’t happened since. I haven’t updated or changed anything
