WiFi to iPhone 7 with iOS 13 Will Not Stay Connected to T3200M Router
Have had an ongoing problem with all versions of iOS 13 on my iPhone 7 dropping my home WiFi connection. My recollection is that this issue has started with the "upgrade" to iOS 13 and was not a prob...
- Is Smart Steering turned on? If so try turning it off. You will need to create a separate SSID for each WiFi band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) so keep the SSID for the band used by the most devices and create a new SSID for the other band.

Well, my dropout plague has returned. The change to 5G, router reboot, and network settings purge fix seems only temporary. I've kind of resolved I have to turn off my WiFi and back on again every time I want to use WiFi. Seems to be the only reliable solution. Such a pain in the butt.
Do you have any non-Apple devices? Are you experiencing dropout on those?
Yeah, all i know is this. The problem is only with my 2 iPhones & 1 iPad. Not with TV's, laptops ...etc. Wifi connection shows very strong on phone, but will have trouble/wont connect on occasion. Wheel is spinning. What "fixes" it very temporarily is switching to another wifi channel, turning wifi off/on or turning phone off/on. Me knowing nothing and using my powers of deduction thinks the modem/router does not like the iPhone
I have dug a little deeper and determined that SmartSteering is enabled. My question now would be how I can go from essentially one merged 2.4 and 5 speed to two separate ones. I'm a little worried I might mess things up, and especially the TV...
I will be frank and admit that I don't understand what you are talking about. We have the T3200M router which feeds our main Telus PVR with wired Ethernet, plus some other Ethernet connections to printers and a computer. It also feeds a satellite wireless TV box, plus a number of other wireless devices including my iPhone. I have no idea what they are using for connection. My WiFi is a hidden network so when I connect something new, I have to manually identify it and enter the password. Generally everything stays connected fine, except for my iPhone since iOS 13. Can you or someone else give me a little more info on what my options are.
Same process as located here but disabling not enabling. You will then have two separate SSID a 2.4ghz and 5ghz network. If you disable smart steering try connecting to the 2.4ghz network and see if that makes your phone stable.
I guess I am wondering what happens when I Disable SmartSteering. What will I be presented with for options?
