Q: Cannot connect to Airport Extreme after iOS 10 Update
Hey guys.
OK Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but since the IOS 10 update i cannot connect to my Airport Extreme my wife cannot either.
We both have iPhone 6 plus 64gb & updated at the same time.
We have an Airport extreme 802.11 ac also an airport extreme dual band & an airport express which neither of us can connect to.
We can connect to the Home Hub 6 provided by our broadband provider with no issues but thats only in one part of the house we can't connect in my Office or the rear of the house.
Tried resetting network settings on the phone thought i would ask before having to try resetting the base stations back to factory settings.
Thank you
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

... they are the ones in the house & are set up as the same network but are separate network to the home hub basically they are used as private networks for the family the home hub is used for guests ETC.
Ok, thanks for the additional details. I understand you overall network better now. Are all of the AirPort base stations configured as bridges? That is, in the AirPort Utility, is the Router Mode = Off (Bridge Mode)? Or are any or all of them configured for Router Mode = DHCP and NAT?
Its this network we seem to be having issues with connection after iOS 10 upgrade on phones.
Understood. It appears that some others have posted a similar issue with the iOS 10 upgrade. They were not limited to the iPhone, but to iPads as well. Not a lot of reports, but a few have trickled in so it's hard to tell if this is a trend yet.
Never had to set up a roaming type network they all pretty much set themselves up via the airport utility didn't see option roaming network.
There is no "roaming" option per se. Apple sort of hides that away. What you would have to look for is the following wording in the AirPort Utility when you go through its automated steps: Setting up this AirPort <Time Capsule, Extreme, or Express> to extend "<the other base station's name>" using Ethernet. Not very intuitive, is it?
