Disconnects for iOS Devices Multiple Times Per Day with Orbi 970
I have EXACTLY this problem. Was fine until sometime around mid-April and now it's a nightmare. Only new Apple devices (iPhone 16/16 Pro and new iPad Air). I can sit with my older iPad next to my ...
Any progress on this?
No. There's something incompatible with the newer Apple devices, that's all I can see. For example, today my iPhone shows connected to the WIFI, but with no internet and "limited compatibility" and some odd message about separate network names:
But my iPad is fine, sitting right next to the phone:
Rebooting the Orbi fixed that issue with the "network names and limited compatibility" - so some of this behavior is certainly an Orbi issue. I have no idea what got it into that state.
What I have found to be reliable over the past several days is keeping my iPhone on the IoT connection, so no WIFI7 I assume. And my older iPad is only using 5G. My wife's newer iPad has the same problem as our phones with the WIFI7 network.
In fact, the only devices on the network having problems are the newer Apple devices that support WIF7. Ironically, the only reason for having the 970. :(
