Q: iOS 10 - random wifi drops - no reconnect

Since the update to iOS10 the wifi from my iPhone 5 disconnected about every 1-2 days after the first connection the the network.

 

When i drop out of wifi its not possible to reconnect to it.

Nothing helps, no flight mode on/off, no wifi on/off, no reboot.

The only thing to get wifi working again is to manuell select the wifi network (network is hidden) and enter all credentials again - which is not so fun every few days.

 

First it happen only for my iPhone but now my GF told me she has the same issues with an iPad Air and iPhone 5 both aswell on iOS 10.0.2

My old iPad 3 with iOS 9.3.x has no connection issues at all.

 

I have tried (nearly?) everything from chaning channels on the router, reset router, reset iphone network settings and so on - nothing helps!

 

Any help to fix this problem is appreciated as entering the long wifi password every time on all devices (well, except iOS 9.3.x ones) is no fun.

iPhone 5, iOS 10.0.2, null
