Asus RT-BE92U and apple devices issue

[rmb4]

I have an ASUS RT-BE92u with new firmware.
My iPad has been disassociated from WiFi many times (lots of information in the router log).

I tried using fix from this forum about disabling OFDMA/802.11ax MU-MIMO for all frequency but problem still exists. Does ASUS have any problems with Apple? Any settings to adjust?

There are many variations of iPad models do you know which WiFi standard it is capable of, or check the model by going to -> Settings -> General -> About -> Model Number (toggles to the model starting with "A") we can look it up...

Yesterday I separated all WiFi frequencies, prepared SSID for each one separately and the iPad does not disconnect. All wireless settings are default (in the profesional tab).

In my opinion problem was with smartconnect setting when is only one SSID for 2,4GHz,5GHz and 6GHz.

Apple has a peculiar requirement/suggestion for WiFi 6E devices.  ASUS 6E routers seemed to have trouble with OFDMA/802.11ax MU-MIMO AND WiFi 6E devices.  ASUS WiFi 7 routers do not appear to have the same issue with OFDMA/802.11ax MU-MIMO AND WiFi 6E Apple devices.  You can re-enable OFDMA MU-MIMO and check whether the iPad still connects to 6 GHz to confirm/refute this.

For maximum performance from Apple 6E capable devices Apple recommends that 5 GHz and 6 GHz not be Smart connected, yet have the same SSID and password.
