Firmware V1.8.0.6 iOS disconnections anyone?
Have updated and so far haven't had any iOS disconnections. Am hesitant to start celebrating until I have been using this update for longer, however my iPad Pro which repeatedly disconnected on older...
My router is still loosing WAN connection several times a day. It has been for several fw releases now (got a support case on it). The router looses IP/DNS from isp and gaines it again after some time. I have provided support with debug logs and all sorts of info.
Plugging in alternative hw/router and putting Orbi in AP mode seems to be a workaround (by reading other peoples findings). But I can't test it as the Orbi kit is my only router and It would still be a workaround rather than a solution.
I ran some tests and plugged in a computer directly to the WAN port and reloaded a webpage for a day. No disconnects /WAN drop during the tests.

Have turned off 2.4ghz signal completely. I have 2 nest external cameras that needed 2.4ghz signal so i have used a old Airport Express and set up a new network on that using 2.4ghz and connected via ethernet into Orbi satelite. This has now given me the 2.4ghz needed for the 2 nest cam devices and means i no longer get discconected on my ios devices on the 5ghz orbi network.
Shouldnt have to do this to get a stable network but since i have setup like this, i havent had any disconnections.
Hello Atothek
Have you tried to lower the power level of the 2.4ghz in the Advanced wireless settings some people have said this has helped with IOS issues.
