iPhone 16 pro max won’t connect to XFi pods on xB8

II have the same issue as everyone else. iPhone 16 Pro won’t connect to XFi pods since I got the new XB8 modem. Only when I forget the network and reconnect, it will connect to the closest pod. But as soon as I get near the gateway, it connects to the gateway and never goes back to the pod. I’ve already switched to WPA 3 Personal Transition, and that still made no difference. I’ve been dealing with this for over a year, searching forums. This is extremely disappointing and has made me hate my phone and service, giving me the worst possible experience when I’m at home.
