IPhones and iPads constantly lose connection or will connect with self assigned IP address.
I have this same exact issue. IPhones and iPads constantly lose connection or will connect with self assigned IP address. This router is horribly unstable
Re: IPhones and iPads constantly lose connection or will connect with self assigned IP address.
What model Orbi do you have?
What Firmware version is currently loaded? What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
How many RBS are deployed? What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.
Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF? Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices? What channel configurations are currently set on the router?

V6.3.7.10_3.3.3 Rbke963 MAC randomization is turned off 2 RBS House is 2400 sq ft and RBS are spaced more than 30 ft away and have some obstruction (walls, closet doors, etc..) located in Northern California
Using AT&T fiber with bgw210 modem (ATT provided)
All other devices work flawlessly except for three iPhones and an iPad in my family. (Iphone 15 pro, iphone 13, and ipad pro
Ok for that size of home, you only need the RBR and 1 RBS. Two RBS maybe causing those devices to ping pong around and not connect properly and fail to lock on. I have a 5000sq ft home and get away with one RBS. When I do have both connected, I turn down the power on the RBR to 25%. Haven't seen any issues with my Apple devices.
Turn OFF both RBS first and see if the Apple devices connect to just the RBR alone. Then try just one RBS out at 30 feet from the RBR. I'd turn down the power on your RBR to 50% and then test again.

Gonna recommend you make contact with NG support and ask about RMA options. I think you should try another system to see if this resolves this issue. I think your the only one seeing this issue thus far. We've beta tested the new FW extensively and haven't see this issue to date. Ask for a cross shipping RMA. If the one they send you still doesn't work then you can sent it back.

I have existing hardware warranty until 2024, but it won’t let me create a case as it says my case entitlement has expired and shows me my chat and phone support is expired.
