Hi folks, I have a dual band D-Link router. When I have the same name for the 2.4 and 5.0 ghz bands, the iphones in the house keep dropping connection. They connect for a second and then it drops again. Tried all the usual stuff on the phones - renew lease, reset network settings etc., but nothing works.
