I think things are indeed getting better with this firmware update. I had disabled roaming assistant earlier but was still experiencing random drops. I have now re-enabled it after noticing improvement with this new firmware and we'll see what happens.

@Solar Trekker : after some days with the new firmware, has it been working better for you? Did it resolve all of the prior issues? If not, what adjustments do you still have in place to compensate?

IOS/ipadOS devices will randomly disconnect from nodes with this firmware. This fix is to setup nodes as APs.

I re-enabled roaming assistant after upgrading the firmware, and noticed some initial instability that resolved over a couple of days.

Since then, I only had a couple of times or zones in my house where I'd end up getting node hopping or random disconnects.

I don't think it's perfect yet, but a noticeable improvement. Most importantly, my family is no longer pinging me throughout the day and evening that 'the internet quit working again!'
