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.
EXACTLY my issue.
My Telus wifi was excellent until I bundled everything & I got Optilk TV. Since then for some strange reason, only with my sons & my iPhone do we have trouble with Wifi. Often/all the time I have to either turn the wifi off/on or change the network to get it to connect. Then it works for awhile. But then same old, same old for no apparent reason. No problems with the TV's, laptops anything. Just with the iphones and ipad to a degree. So I went ahead & got the boosters (hoping that will fix the problem) which I hooked up but then unhooked cause I didn't want to have to sign into 15 or so devices (btw, do I have to connect to the booster on all my devices or can I keep some/any/all connect to the 5g, or 2.4 network even while the booster is hooked in & powered up?).
So I think it must be something quirky about Apple products & the Optk TV modem.
Btw, can someone walk me through "I’ve had problems with iPhone and hidden SSID in the past. Just use a good password.".
What does this mean/how to do this?
Hogan,
You have to go into your router setup. Put the address which is probably 192.168.1.254 in your internet software address line. It will bring up a general screen. You need to go into Wireless Setup. It will require a username and password. The default name is admin and the password unless it has been changed is on the side of your router. I change mine just to be more secrure... Once into the setup you can enable or disable SSID broadcast among other things. At the bottom you can set the strong password for the named SSID.
