I think my problem was improved by:

 

removing an extender from my network that had signal overlap with an AP

setting up the channels on the three router APs to minimize overlap

using the same SSID and password for the three router AP

tirning on Smart network (or whatever it is called)

 

I can roam the house now without losing connection, occasionally have to turn WiFi off and on again on iPad Mini 5, or wait a few seconds and it usually connects

There are several reasons why your iPhone's WiFi might not be working. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:-

1. Airplane Mode:- Ensure Airplane Mode is disabled. Swipe down from the top right corner (control center) and make sure the airplane icon isn't highlighted.
2. WiFi Turned On:- Verify that WiFi is turned on in your Settings app. Go to Settings > WiFi and toggle the switch on if it's disabled.
3. In-Range of Router:- Check if you're within the range of your WiFi router. Signal strength weakens with distance.
4. Restart iPhone:- A simple restart can sometimes resolve temporary glitches. Turn your iPhone off and on again.
5. Restart Router and Modem:- Turn off your WiFi router and modem, unplug them for a minute, then plug them back in and wait for them to restart completely.

Ugh, those phones sticking together like glue, huh? It's like they're trying to have a secret meeting without inviting you! Okay, let's break it up.

 

It's probably something to do with AirDrop or that new NameDrop feature. They're like digital magnets, always trying to connect. Go into your settings and look for AirDrop. You can usually turn it off completely or just limit it to contacts. While you're there, check out NameDrop too. It's probably causing some trouble.

 

If that doesn't work, try restarting both phones. Sometimes, a little tech reset can do wonders. And if that still doesn't fix it, you might want to check for software updates. New updates often have fixes for these kinds of things.

Hardware: Archer VR2100v v1 00000000

 

Firmware: 1.14.0 0.9.1 v009e.0 Build 230517 Rel.10084n

 

So I had this issue where I just could not install or update apps from the App Store on both iPads (different models) in our household.

 

Every other device - Android phones and Windows laptops - worked fine.

 

Even open the Chrome browser app on the iPads worked fine.

 

The issue seemed to effect Apple apps specifically.

To check the issue wasn't with the iPads I tried with a different router and it worked just fine.

 

So the issue is with the TP Link Router.

 

I saw on here a post that said that changed their DNS from automatic to manual.

 

So I decided to try that. On the iPad I went to the settings, WiFi and change the DNS for the WiFi network from automatic to manual. I set the DNS address to the exact same DNS addresses that were shown when logging into the administration page for the router and looking the two DNS Server entires under Network Map in Basic Mode or the Primary and Seconday DNS under Status in Advanced Mode.

 

Everything immediately started working again.

 

I have no idea why the Apple devices cannot see the DNS Server entries on the router when DNS is set to automatic. I can only conclude that there is something wrong with the router firmware on TP Link routers.

  @DarthRiker 

Thanks so much have been backwards and forwards with apple for over a week now. 

We had internet on iphones, could internet browse, play games, get mail, see Facebook & instagram. But iphone had wifi router ticked but with 'no internet connection' would pop up underneath. Apps would not update through app store and could not update ios and imessages failed as well as intermittently facetime. 

 

Have done as you mentioned with the manual DNS and added the ids and it fixed my issue and all our iphones when done on each. Much appreciated

Thank you so much for your post.

Followed your advice to set DNS to manual and it all worked again.

I say again as my Apple problem only occurred after I updated my AX6000 v1 to Firmware Version: 1.3.2 Build 20230906 rel.52143(5553)

The older Firmware seemed to work properly!

 

Now to get TP-Link to address this issue for a future update.

  @DarthRiker I am having the same problems you had and I am going out of my mind trying to fix it. Just wondering if you had time to explain how to set it up manually in dummy terms. I tried what you posted but just not sure I did it right cause it won't connect at all after trying. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

i changed the DNS to match, but still having the same problem, did you do this on a iPhone also? And did you change anything else?
