iPad Pro wifi dropping out on Orbi
I have an Orbi with the Satellite amazon echo. Over the past 6 months or so we've noticed a common behaviour with the iPads and sometimes iPhones in the house. It's a standard 4 bedroom home, sin...

Were you ever able to resolve this issue? I have had the exact same problem with an iPad Pro (while the iPad Airs, iPhones, computers, etc. don't see to have an issue).

RBR50 with one RBS50 satellite. Firmware v2.3.5.30.
Original iPad Pro. Running 14.3.
This is a long standing issue which has presisted through multiple firmware updates and iOS updates. After giving up on fixing it (I can toggle the WiFi to reset the connection), I decided to take another stab.
Note, like the original post, the WiFi only breaks when the iPad is asleep for some period of time. It only happens on the original iPad Pro. A newer iPad pro, multiple iPad Airs, and various iPhones do not show the issue.
Any tips you have are appreciated. Recently, I have turned off fast roaming, beamforming, and the private MAC address (on the iPad) - all items identified as possible tweaks to address similiar issues.
