iOS devices

Running the Orbi formware 1.40.0.18 I've now experienced a couple of cases where an iOS device will infrequently get dropped off the network going from full signal to no wifi for upwards of 30 seconds...

i also have an ipad pro that is wifi only that dropped once yesterday.  This ipad is running the latest 10.2 ios, so it is as up-to-date as possible.

    I downgraded to .16 and last night had no dropout on the Ipad.  Wondering is it the older sw fixing or something else going on

      Thanks Tom for testing the old firmware to help me gather the info for the engineers if anyone else is experiencing connection problems with the .18 firmware let me know.

        Worth noting the apples iOS beta release notes indicate they are working on intermittent wifi drops, so it is possible this in an iOS issue, not Orbi.
