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...
I spoke too soon. My iPhone 16 Pro Max with WiFi 7 seemed better for the first evening after upgrading, but it is now behaving exactly as my old iPhone 15 Pro Max with WiFi 6e did.
The settings options are exactly the same.
For me, setting “WiFi 6e mode” to off helps a bit, but not entirely. It also doesn’t help that the iPhone changes this back to automatic on its own after a period of time.

Mine continues to drop when walking around my house … or sometimes even standing still in the same room with full wifi strength.
Jumps to 5G; my call drops or my zoom call freezes for a moment and reconnects.
Still incredibly annoying, and still astonishing to me this hasn’t been fixed yet given what we spent on this system, and how basic our ask is (“Please just allow us to stay connected when we are standing still and using the most popular mobile device on the market” — this doesn’t seem like a big ask…).
