Greetings.
My latest Ipad has trouble staying connected to my 5 Ghz network.
Wifi keeps dropping every 30 sec/ 1min. Totally random, Actually.
Tested routers are the RT-AC68U/ RT-AC86U with Merlin firmware 384.13
I also tested the 68U with an older firmware (380.67) and it's even worse.
Other devices (other Ipad, Xbox, PC) have no problem staying connected.
Here's an example of the system log:
Oct 10 19:12:40 dnsmasq-dhcp[484]: DHCPACK(br0) 192.168.1.8 60:8c:4a:72:be:63 Erics-iPad

...no Wifi on the Ipad device.

...no Wifi on the Ipad device.
And it goes on and on like this until the Ipad totally loses the 5Ghz signal.
Choosing another control channel/ bandwidth has no effect what so ever.
I also noted that "Enable WMM No-Acknowledgement", when disabled (i usually have it enabled) seems to alleviate the issue.
Coula anyone help me ?
Thanks.
Eric.
