I was also wondering if the iOS upgrade complicated this issue, but currently have 2 devices on the latest official release and 2 devices on the latest beta. It doesn't seem to matter when the satillites start acting up. I forgot to mention in my previous post that I have turned down 2.4G to 25%, hoping it would simplify the connection decision between router and satillites. So far it seems the only solution is to reboot the router once or twice a week.
