iPhone Connects to Home Wifi. Wifi works for ten seconds, then stops. Why?!

Hi Friends,
I've scoured the internet and have found no answer to this confounding question.
In June, Comcast setup my internet at home, new router, new connection, new account, the whole shebang. We named the Wifi Network the same as it was at the old apartment to make re-connecting everything easier.
This worked like a charm, except for on my phone.
For some reason on my iPhone 11 when I connect to the network - ChickenFarmerMolly - I only have internet for a few seconds before nothing resolves and I can't get a connection. Apps don't load, can't send picture texts, nothing.
I've reset network settings, tried using a manual IP address, and even a manual DNS server. Alas, there's no luck here.
Could it be because the network name is the same as the old one, my phone is confused?
I like to think I'm pretty tech savy and have tried most common troubleshooting steps (resetting the modem, powering on and off).
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Me

I sure have. I forgot the network and reset my phone's actual network settings (thus forgetting all networks). I was thinking I could just change my router's name but at the moment cannot due to how my comcast is setup with the building.
