IPhone and iPads have improved a lot with new Firmware for me but my Samsung s8 plus and Sony Xperia tablet are still dropping connections randomly and frequent, making it worse since now there is no way to lower 2.4GHz radio or disabling, before when I had 2.4GHz disabled my tablet never had any drops.
Try turning on Beam forming and Mu Mimo. I had issues after the update with samsung i 5. This seemed to have helped.
