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.
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 am now on day two of no dropout after switching to a fixed IP, AND resetting the router and Networks on the iPhone. But I have gotten up to 4 days with this router reset and network reset before, so I am not real optimistic of it being a permanent fix. It is puzzling why I can get a temporary fix for days but then it goes wonky again.
That last fix did not work. On Dec 19 I tried another solution. That was to reset the router, clear the iPhone network settings, and assign a fixed IP for the iPhone, and then sign into the 2.4 G side of the router. That would now be the only item on 2.4 G. It has been 8 days now, and that is twice as long as I have gone before without a dropout. I hope this isn't bad luck, but (for about the 4th time), I may have a solution. It would seem that my iPhone on iOS 13 does not like 5 G routers, or at least it does not like to share that band with others on the same SSID.
