TP-LInk Wi-Fi on iPhone and other Apple devices losing Internet connectivity.
Hardware Version : v1 00000000
Firmware Version : 0.9.1 0.1 v004b.0 Build 170707 Rel.58427n
ISP : Shaw Communications (Internet 150 for Business)
Is anyone having issues with TP-Link routers and Wifi on Apple products? We have a TP-LInk Archer C3200 and TP-LInk C7 router, and both seem to have issues with Apple devices.
Wi-Fi "seems" to be solid on all devices we own with the exception of our iPhones and iPads. iPhones connect fine and the connection to the Wi-Fi seems solid, but the Internet will stop working at random (usually after about 10-15 mins) and the only way to get it working again is disabling and re-enabling the Wi-fi on the iPhone.
This is my third TP-Link router and it seems to be a consistent problem with our Apple devices. This problem has been with me for over 2 years!
We also have the Ubiquiti access point we sometimes connect to and the iPhones work fine on that network, but it only supports 2.4.
Prior to this we owned a D-Link router and had no issues with Apple products.
Note: I have all the latest firmware and iPhone updates. I've tried numerous settings within the router. I've replaced my modem and then upgraded my modem to a business plan using a static IP with my ISP. I've tried the router in different locations. I've even performed an exorcism on my TP-Link router which has helped about as much as everything else I've tried.
Does anyone have a solution?

The same problem as most people, probably from what I remember the problems appeared after updating the router, so maybe it is possible to restore older versions somehow?
Archer C80 model
Problem: Loss of Internet connection despite connected Wi-Fi on the iPhone 13 PRO MAX and MacBook Air M2 2023 (mainly here is the problem - somehow on the phone everything works much more efficiently, although such problems also occur)
I tried changing DNS, changing channels and bandwidth on the router - to no avail
Everything works fine with the PC via cable and WiFi, so it's clearly a router and Mac issue
@TP-Link ? do you have any solution

Only one thing comes to mind as a possibility, on the Apple products you can randomize the MAC address to change, maybe this doesn't play nice with the router, Windows also has this function but not many people find it but it's in yer face on an iphone & most select it, test it with it off & update in a few days to say or nay whether it causes it.

I can tell you what worked for me, what i did was this configured manually a static IP on your iPhone might not be connecting to WiFi. Here's how to troubleshoot the issue:-
Router Configuration Mismatch:-
- Reserved IP: When setting a static IP on your iPhone, it needs to be reserved in your router's settings for that specific device. If your router's DHCP server is assigning IPs dynamically and there's a conflict, your iPhone won't connect.
- Subnet Mask and Router IP: Ensure the subnet mask and router IP address you're entering on your iPhone match the settings on your router. Incorrect information will prevent a proper connection.
Here's how to check your router's settings:-
- Consult your router's manual or search online for specific instructions on accessing its settings panel. This typically involves typing the router's IP address (usually something like 192.168.1.1) into a web browser.
- Look for sections related to DHCP or LAN settings. You should find options to view or configure the DHCP range, reserved IP addresses, subnet mask, and router IP.
Verifying iPhone Static IP Configuration:-
- Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
- Tap the "i" icon next to your WiFi network.
- Scroll down and tap on "Configure IP".
- Ensure "Manual" is selected.
- Verify the IP address, subnet mask, router IP, and DNS settings match what's configured on your router.
