Hi Nivedita ,
I have this AP and use mainly Apple products in my house and would benefit from this. I've been having this issue since I purchased this device the end of September and am currently on Firmware Version V1.0.3.3.
Interestingly enough I have an addition with my issue: I have 3 SSIDs broadcasting, on 3 different VLANs (1, 100, 1000) - All have the same settings on the AP except the passcodes.
Devices connected to the SSID with VLAN 100 do not disconnect. All other devices connecting to the other 2 will, including my Android Devices (Pixel & Nvidia Shield) within 30 minutes of connecting, notably when there's a stream of data going through (file transfer, watching youtube, talking in a discord call).
Thank you

Exactly the same for me. I noticed when traffic was required to be “fast” such as Speedtests and high quality video streaming or calls.
I have updated the firmware using the test version sent to me yesterday and it has shown an improvement and no dropouts.
