iPad Pro wifi dropping out on Orbi

[berwickgeek]

I have an Orbi with the Satellite amazon echo. Over the past 6 months or so we've noticed a common behaviour with the iPads and sometimes iPhones in the house.

It's a standard 4 bedroom home, single story. The satellite is roughly 10 meters from the base. Generally between 25 and 35 devices connected at any point in time.

The behaviour is as follows:

* iPad connectivity is good, operating normally

* put the iPad down and come back to it after an hour or so

* The iPad shows a full connection to the wifi however when doing anything requiring internet, there's no internet

* Turn off wifi on the iPad, wait a few seconds, turn on wifi

* The iPad connects to the same network again, but this time working

I've updated to the latest firmware for both the base and satellite. Currently:

Base RBR50 - 2.5.2.4

Satellite RBS40V - 2.6.1.4

Any suggestions?

Is this a re-post of the exact same question from a few days ago? If so, please note that the WiFi anomoly you are reporting regarding iPads and iPhones appears to be related to a bug in Apple's iOS 14. I believe the issue is NOT with your ORBI but with the Apple iOS update. Here's a link to help resolve that issue:
