WAX220 WIFI Disconnects on Apple devices
Please help, this has been doing my nut in. WAX220 WIFI AP for some reason keeps disconnecting Apple Iphones for a minute frequently and causes calls on facetime to freeze and become unsuitable t...
same exact issue here. only my apple devices are dropping out. its not even like they are visually disconnecting from the wifi, they will still show as connected, show an IP adress from DHCP in settings etc, but no network connectivity at all, and even also other devices cannot reach/ping them anymore. what is going on?
if you disable “auto join” in the apple wifi setting for the specific ssid you will probably find the connection drops and the WiFi actually disconnects. That’s what I found.
with auto join enabled I guess the network drops, you lose access but the WiFi is reconnecting in the background.

One of these, and set how?
What I meant was, go to settings, WiFi, then click on the ssid for the WiFi you are connected to…
then disable “auto join”
what I saw was, my WiFi would often disconnect from the WiFi when 11ax was enabled on the netgear apwhen I disabled 11ax on the ap, my apple device would stay connected to the WiFi, even with auto join disabled
so the problem is when 11ax mode is enabled
but is the problem with netgear ? Or apple?
are the netgear engineers monitoring this forum?
