Weak Security - not retaining WIFI connection (iphone)

Hi, I've followed the other post on the weak security issue with iphones. From the thread it says it's nothing to worry about but basically my phone won't stay connected to the WiFi - its only an issue with my iphone. I am not sure what to do about this. Can anyone help? We haven't had the issue before and updated iphone software a while ago, i.e. not in last 48 hours. 

 

Thanks

You could try splitting the 2.4 and 5GHz wifi bands, it helps with Apple products.



Navigate in a web browser to 192.168.1.254.

Click Advanced Settings

Enter your Hub admin password when prompted (unless you've changed it, you'll find the default password on the settings card)
Continue to Advanced Settings.
Click on Wireless.
Click 5GHz tab.
Change 'Sync with 2.4Ghz' to No.
Change the name of the 'Wireless SSID' - I added a '_5' on the end.
Save the changes.



You can then select which one you want per device.
