OneUI 7 committed a wifi blood letting. The reason I went from accessing wifi across the street, to zero wifi after I updated is because -now- I have to be within yards of the router or no wifi! 

My 6 year old Galaxy Note 9 has no issues picking up wifi at great distances, but now my 4 month old A16 can't see anything unless I'm breathing down the neck of the router. HEY SAMSUNG AND GOOGLE, THIS IS THE LAST ANDROID PHONE I BUY!

I was using wifi from a restaurant outside to download and install a software update. Once installed and after rebooting my phone, the restaurant wifi is gone. I can get it on my Galsxy Note 9, but not on my A16. How can I fix this?

All of a sudden, after 5-7 minutes, available wifi networks appeared, including Starbucks. Darn glitchy cheap phone system. I'm moving on. Thanks for all the help!

Well, I see all my saved networks, but my wifi isn't seeing any open networks. I'm sitting at Starbucks. My ancient Galaxy Note 9 is logged into Starbuck wifi, but my 4 month old A16 with the broken OneUI 7 update doesn't see any networks. The option to show networks when available is on. What else can I do that I haven't already done?
