Hello Kdeemer

 

What Firmware are you on I know of some issues with IOS devices on .18 you may want to go to the .16 firmware and see if that resolves the issue.

    is netgear aware of the inconsistent and unstability for iOS devices? Will this be addressed in next Firmware?  I have to reboot frequently to maintain stable connections on iOS devices, this not expected from a $400 router.

      I have a iPhone SE and iPhone 6 (both on 10.2) in addition to a couple Apple laptops.  

       

      With the Orbi, I've never noticed a dropped connection or slow speeds on any of those Apple devices (or any other devices).  

       

      I am curently on the latest f/w for the Orbi - evetrything is working consistently at best speeds (provisioned + ~20%).
