iPhone 11 Pro horrible battery life when connected to Orbi RBR50 / RBS50 / RBS50Y
I have an Orbi RBR50 + two RBS50's - purcahsed as an RBK53 Kit from Costco in the Fall of 2016. I have an RBS50Y outdoor satellite I added September 2020. Everything has been working smoothly for a...
I performed a factory reset on my RBR50 a week ago, and my awesome battery life returned. I waited a week to response just to have a full week of data to make sure the reset worked.
I should have clarified, I've had this issue since 14.6 - I did upgrade to 14.7 and 14.8 as soon as they came out hoping it would alleviate issue.
My wife and daughter's phones were also upgraded, currently on 14.8. The battery usage app shows nothing running. If I force close all apps, set the phone down connected to wifi, the battery is dead from a full charge after 6-7 hours or so.
If I disconnect from Orbi and go cellular only, and sit the phone down it can go 2 days. Similar experience if I go stay at a family member's house with a single wi-fi (non-mesh) router setup and connect to their wi-fi and just have the phone sit down on a desk somewhere doing nothing.
There has to be "something different" about the combination of this phone and this WiFi (location, perhaps).
This site mentions an app that wlil show background processes which might be running after all applications have been closed:

Are there any apps that are unique to this one iPhone?
