Thanks for the quick reply. (sigh) iPhone 15 Pro does not support WiFi7, so that is not likely to be relevant.

That seems to indicate that the iPhone is not "roaming" at all on the 770 system.
Anything else you can test with? (laptop? tablet? old iPod?)
(sorry to be ignorant about Apple products.....) On my Android and Windows devices there are applications that can scan the WiFi environment and report the signal level of every WiFi access point they can sense. For example, my phone reports that my Orbi router and three satellites measure:
- -37dB
- -57dB
- -65dB
- -70dB
(the phone is connected to the router that is 4ft. away and appears to be at -37dB.)
