iPhone drops wifi on lock screen and slow association

[RMerlin]

@RMerlin, has there been any change in driver used or firmware handling of wifi association/maintaining connection with clients?

No idea, all closed source.

Thanks all. Intermediate conclusion is this.

I moved back to my previous config, including two RT-AC68u on Merlin 380.69.2 and the router on that codebase as well.

No issues with that, in other words, the issue is gone. All devices, including iDevices, stay connected as usual, also on lock screen, and association is very fast.

This probably means I'll wait for 384.4 and try it again...
