dropping wifi
Hi, I'll start out by saying I don't know much about wifi or networking. My problem is wifi connected devices will stop working. For example on the iphone it stops working, I'll try the other wifi...

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Thanks for the pointers. I did the channel changes for both 2.4 and 5 ghz. I checked my advanced settings > wireless settings. Implicit Beamforming was already on, and I don't have options for either MIMO or WMM.
