Wanted to share something I ran into a w new router

In case it helps someone else.

Been using and loving a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 for a few years. No issues. Wanted to try something newer with WiFi6 and maybe mesh.

So I picked up the new Netgear MK62:

Installed it with no issues Friday evening. And by keeping the same SSID and password I didn’t need to reconnect any devices.

But over the weekend we noticed our iPhones and iPads would periodically drop off the wifi only to reconnect a minute or so later. But never any other devices that I could see. TV streaming for example was fine.

Googling I found this:

Enabled it last night (IPV6) and no drop outs since then. Hopefully it stays that way.
