Maybe a good solution for newer Apple Iphones, however setting Security to WPA3 only will cause all other non supporting WPA3 devices, to not work on the main WLAN.
Does those Advanced Setup configuration settings work with mixed mode WPA2 and WPA3 enabled or do you still see odd problems with the iphones?

you can try that. I am not sure on separate things that are set differently from the list of stuffs that I have changed above. So for the combo of all those stuffs changed above, solved the wifi dropping issue. in terms of one that is not changed (for e.g your case of the WPA2/WP3 mixed mode), I am not sure about it.
