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.
You are not the only one with this iOS 13.2.3 WiFi issue:

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.

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.
