Does same thing happen if the RS is in router mode?
Wondering if some odd issue maybe happening while in AP mode.
Are they getting connect with wifi and not getting an IP address or just not getting connected at all?
If you reset the network settings on the device then this wipes out the configured connection with the wifi system and will need to be re-connected to the system. Will not reconnect if the settings are cleared. This would be expected behavior. Network resets on devices should only be used in last resort for troubleshooting purposes.
My iphone 17 Pro Max connects fine to my RS600 and RS700 when they are online. Though my RS is in router mode. I can try AP mode as well and see if this happens.
