Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Start a call on wifi on iOS
2. Switch off wifi to fall back to 5G because you're leaving the building
3. Observe the transition takes ~30s to complete.
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
~10s (or less) to notice that you've switched network and reconnect - which is what Jitsi manages.
#### What happened instead?
30s, which is very painful
### Operating system
_No response_
### Browser information

### URL for webapp

### Will you send logs?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the transition on call.element.io using the reported iOS Wi-Fi-to-5G steps and measure how long network changes take to trigger reconnection. Compare the observed delay with the expected 10 seconds or less; done means the call reconnects within that target after switching networks.
