cool exciting home network problems
September 26, 2017 9:47 AM
Tech support! My Windows desktop and laptop have no problems with my wifi router but my iPhone drops off constantly.
I have this Asus router. The connection between it and my iPhone 6S is constantly finicky - at any given time there's only a 50% chance it's connected to wifi, and then when I try to load a page or something it often hangs for a couple of seconds and then drops into LTE. I've noticed that it only seems to drop when I try to visit a new page, never in the middle of a video or while downloading a podcast or something. I thought upgrading to iOS 11 might help but it's doing the same dang thing and now also re-prompts me for the password when it drops off.
I have a desktop computer with a Cisco USB wifi adapter and a laptop, both running Windows 7, that never have any issues. It's just the phone. And my phone never has any wifi issues anywhere but on my home network. Help!

Hey, I think I fixed it! The 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band had different passwords, and every time I lost connection I bet it was because my phone was flipping to the other band and failing to log in.
