Possible Fix for iPhone Dropping WiFi
I have an RBE973S system. think I have identified the reason my iPhone keeps dropping WiFi, and I wanted to share so others can see if it solves their issues. On your iPhone, go to Settings>Cellula...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

What iOS version are you using?
9.12.3.3, but it’s been an issue ever since owning this specific router.
Currently on iOS 18 public beta 2, but I also had the issue on all the latest iOS 17 versions.

I just had my first drop this morning. My iPhone went from a connection to the router, being int he same room -> I went to the first floor kitchen, one of the RBS 960s is there. I was about 20 feet LOS from the RBS, and the phone flipped to 5G even though settings said it was still connected to WiFi. about 30 seconds later it reconnected to WiFi. I'll keep "WiFi Assist" toggle off to see, maybe it's better but not fixed.
