Hi @EXE_KRISTO

 

We might need to get some more information from you. I've sent you a private message.

 

Thanks

I'll contribute a question - though more configuration than installation.  My iPhone (admittedly, an older phone - 6) does not smoothly and transparently shift from WiFi to mobile data or vice versa - I often need to switch from the current app to the home screen and back to get it to notice the change.  Some revs of iOS ago, they seemed to make a big deal about such transitions being well handled - am I missing a setting or something, or did they overstate how good things were (or is my phone possibly just not behaving well)?


@Jrandomuser Have you done the recent software update, 11.2.1? Also go to settings and do reset network settings. If this does not resolve it then it is the device.

It should have had the refill info on the receipt from my understanding.

The orbi works fine there software stinks...   It's gotten better with time.  I have the first orbi released.


Have the router and 2 satellites. Running them daisy chained. Latest firmware and app also adds a bunch of other useful features but UI could do with some work.

@RhodesMan - both roaming and WiFi Assist are on.  The phone switches (if I'm on the home screen, I can see it switch), but if I am in an app, it appears that locks the phone into the mode it was in until I get out of the app, at least for quite a while (minutes?) and that means it loses connectivity if I leave the WiFi, and it continues to use LTE even if I come into a WiFi zone.

Questions about Wi-Fi Assist

I enabled cellular data, roaming, and Wi-Fi Assist on my iPhone. Why does it not switch between Wi-Fi and cellular data automatically?

Automatically switching to a cellular connection is disabled when you are in roaming mode as roaming fees tend to be so costly. The decisions is a sensible move by iPhone to prevent its users from incurring high roaming charges.
