I turned it back off.I’m now also running 2.1.4.10. I have been experiencing the drops of connectivity on IOS devices as well.. whats very strange is it seems to be the way certain devices handle being connected to the Orbi.. I have an Alexa Spot that is connected to a satelite & never looses internet lol meanwhile in the same room I can't use the iPhone without toggeling the wifi... go figure lol
