iOS devices
Running the Orbi formware 1.40.0.18 I've now experienced a couple of cases where an iOS device will infrequently get dropped off the network going from full signal to no wifi for upwards of 30 seconds...

Thanks for the details... One more question - Do you notice brief outages on your devices from these reconnects or are you only noticing them in the log? Others have reported slow web browsing on their devices but I also tried to replicate the problem last night, with or without WiFi assist, and even though according to the logs my iPhone 7 mysteriously reconnected a few times despite this setting being off I didn't notice any interruption or flipping in the wifi/LTE icon (though I also wasn't using it continuously). I want to know whether it's an actual usability problem for all people or if it may just be anomalous log entries for others.

Turning off wifi assist on my cellular iPad Pro has so far stopped disconnections. I'm hesitant to say it's completely fixed but haven't had a drop since this has been turned off.
