Ax86U - slow reconnection to iphone

[Andy Sedg]

Just purchased this router to replace BT smart hub 2 & noticed an issue related to my iPhone 11 connecting to the internet after going out & disconnecting. On return home the iphone connects to the router but has no internet connection for a few minutes. Any idea what might be the problem & how to solve it. Thanks

No issues with iPhone/iPods here. Must admit that they are older units.
Newer iPhones randomize their MAC. You might turn that feature off.
Router WIFI settings: 2.4 GHz at 20 MHz on a fixed channel (1, 6 or 11), 5 GHz at 160 MHz on channel 36 (recommend not to use DFS channels), WPA2/WPA3, disable Airtime Fairness and Universal Beamforming for both bands. Use Dual Band Smart Connect.

5 GHz at 160 MHz, Use Dual Band Smart Connect

Unrelated and bad advice in general.

Any idea what might be the problem

You need to share details about your router settings first.
