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.
I guess you'll find out soon enough whether you have any devices and can only connect to 2.4 GHz.
As for the iPhone connetion issues, the reason for turning off smart steering is that there are reports that iOS does't handle the automatic switching between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz well.

Well, it has been about 2 hours and my iPhone 7 currently on iOS 13.2.3 has dropped out. This does not appear to be a solution to my problem. Perhaps it is a iOS bug that I will have to just wait for Apple to fix, or at the rate they are going, never fix.

I found the issue was resolved on the T3200M by using the Boost Wifi devices, as they appear to the router as an Ethernet-connected device, rather than wireless. There does appear a disconnect between the wireless side of the T3200M and the wired side, preventing Wi-Fi devices to talk to your wired network.
I don't think the Telus Boost is ready for Prime Time. I don't think I would recommend it to anyone. Very disappointed in it.
- Had the same issue with our Apple devices I gave up on the TELUS Wi-Fi and using my own router now with no issues. It fixed the dropouts and issues with wireless printing.
The strange part of it is that if I just look at my iPhone, it shows the WiFi is connected to my specific WiFi network, but it is not. All it takes is to turn WiFi off for a few seconds, and then turn it back on again to let it reconnect. Then I am connected again for an hour or so.
I just tried a couple of the other frequently suggested "solutions" which is to power down the router and then power it back up again. I also Reset the Network setting on my iPhone. In the past this has worked for longer -- like a day or so. We'll see this time. If this fails, I guess I can connect my iPhone to the 2.4G network, and see if that is the silver bullet...
You are not the only one with this iOS 13.2.3 WiFi issue:
