Hi again,In the meantime, I've replaced all of my seven Orbi-6E units and the corresponding router with a Mikrotik HAP AX2 router, which was recommended by a friend.The Mikrotiks are now working together via Capsman. The issues I encountered with the Orbi routers didn't occur at all with the Mikrotiks. The speed is outstanding, and the coverage is almost the same.Additionally, I discovered that the Orbi routers do not support 802.11r-FT (Fast Roaming), but the Mikrotiks do! Now, I have full 5GHz coverage throughout the entire house/property and no longer experience any interruptions. The Fast Roaming works so quickly that the device never loses the Wi-Fi connection. Previously, with the Orbis, I could experience 2-3 seconds of no Wi-Fi during the transition.Moreover, I haven’t experienced any longer disconnections or issues with not getting an IP address anymore.It’s shocking considering the price difference.An Orbi satellite costs 700 euros, while a Mikrotik Hap Ax2 costs 85 euros.Netgear definitely needs to catch up here and could learn&nbsp;a&nbsp;thing&nbsp;or&nbsp;two.

Since your in the EU region, you might try v6 FW since v.21 wasn't supported in the EU region. If you do, RBS first, then RBR lastly, then factory reset and setup from scratch.&nbsp;

Sounds like you'll need to wait for Apple and NG to get this fixed then. Open a support ticket with both Mfrs if you haven't already. Seems like were seeing more issues since newer iOS version appeared and on tri band model iPhones. I don't have a tri band iPhone so I don't see this issue here.&nbsp;
