Even worse on my note 3 constantly dropping. wifi drops out no bars totally disconnects then back again and yes it does it on iPad or, iPhone 7 plus just note 3 is much worse. Really sorry I bought the thing, yes it get great wifi over my place but it does not work properly. I have to reboot whole systems every few days no internet at all but base unit now showing disconnected plus if you manually input DNS sometimes this will cause the internet not to work at all. It is a very buggy system, not worth the money. I have been using for a few months and no firmware update that fixed any of these issues, it looks like a much deeper issue with this device that adviously was rushed to market before it was ready. If I could get my money back I would return it
