What happened exactly? iPhone lost its connection while you were using it? While it was asleep, but it reconnected when it woke up ? It stayed connected but it had no internet access?
It stayed connected but it had no internet acess and no router acess.
I have to reconnect or wait 2 minutes to access back
Noooooooooooooo!
I am very very very very disappointed!!!
Happened again after 2 days!!
They will never fix this!!!
ONWas your beamforming turned on?
Maybe... but this did not happen with my old R7000Maybe it's time you ask Apple to fix THEIR stuff, because so far they're the only ones affected. Apple has been doing a lot of dumb stuff since iOS 7 in regards to wifi power management, causing all kind of issues with all kind of routers that aren't all white sporting a half-eaten logo on it. Quite frankly, this isn't a Quantenna issue. Apple's HW address randomization shennanigans, combined with overly aggressive power management just for the sake of displaying bigger battery life has been wrecking havok on a number of routers.
^^^Turn it off and it should solve your problem.
For those who are still having 5GHz issues on iOS, iOS 8.3 is out today, here are some of the fixes:
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth fixes:
● Fixes an issue where you could be continuously prompted for login credentials
● Addresses an issue where some devices disconnect intermittently from Wi-Fi networks
● Fixes an issue where hands-free phone calls could become disconnected
● Fixes an issue where audio playback could stop working with some bluetooth speakers

Fair comment!Beamforming works with all devices except apple... For me it's an apple issue
I have installed 4950 according to what Asus has suggested -- perform hardware reset on my AC87U. After upgrade firmware, I manually re-entered necessary settings from scratch. I have only experienced few 5G drops for 7 days. Personally, I feel this version of firmware is more stable and browser refreshing is better than before.Well, since updating to 4950 my router crashes 100% dead on all ports and never recovers every 24-48hrs using the same settings as I used on 3754. Sure would be nice if ASUS could publish which settings cause the router to crash daily! ;-) ... only half joking.
My learning lesson with this router has been that if you find a stable firmware/config STICK WITH IT!
Anyone have ideas on what settings cause this to happen?
BTW, the log doesn't capture anything when it dies, the log simply ends.
Just now I tried to enable WPS in case that was the cause and the router just randomly rebooted itself a few minutes later. Temperamental little sucker isn't it!
