Possible Fix for iPhone Dropping WiFi

Also something that someone mentioned to me as well, this thread is about interactions of newer generation Apple iPhone and WiFi 6E and 7. These are related to 6Ghz and BE modes and handling between these devices. This would probably not be caused by what's going on with the RBR and RBS backhaul nor would effect 2.4 or 5Ghz. Seems that something is going on with your system on 2.4 and 5Ghz if what's what your using and watching out for. 

Something to make a new post about and see if we can help you troubleshoot and better narrow down what the issue on your system is.

I have been following this thread like others for a very long time. I have all the same issues with my iPhone's and wireless devices using this network gear. I have tried all suggestions as well. Treating the symptoms but not knowing the true root cause of this failure. I am extremely disappointed in the solution that we hall have spent a significant amount of money. It isn't unreasonable for any of us to expect this problem resolved once and for all.

So, in my router +1 sat network which is wired to the router. I did a WiFi scan and realized that the backhaul wireless network broadcast is constantly on and there is no way to disable it confirmed by Netgear support team. I proceeded to watch the behavior of the backhaul wireless broadcast and saw that it was randomizing the channel used but when it hits the same channels that I have chosen statically for my 2.4 and 5 ghz networks, guess what. I lose connection on my apple products and they act in a hung state..  So, NETGEAR please allow an admin to disable Wireless BACKHAUL from broadcasting if connected via ethernet as well as code the logic so that the backhaul knows if wireless channel is already assigned via the router..   Who knows maybe this is the root cause and maybe a solution.
