Hello!
It's frustrating when devices drop their connection, especially in a technical setup.

Try adjusting a few advanced settings: manually select a static non-DFS channel (like 36-48) to prevent disruptions from radar detection; temporarily disable Fast Roaming (802.11r), as it can sometimes cause stability issues with certain clients; and lower the 5/6 GHz transmit power to encourage better roaming between your access points. Additionally, you may want to check your Insight logs for clues and test disabling the "Private Wi-Fi Address" on one of your iOS devices.
