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%).
