[NF] WIFI Blues

Anyone else having problems with WIFI WAPs starting to refuse

connections to iPhones?

I manage several building networks that have WAP devices, and I've

started getting complaints in the last couple of months about "my

cellphone won't connect." It seems that the connection happens, but the

data won't route. From what I can tell it's a DNS issue. (The WAP is on

an isolated network with a DHCP server that provides an IP, gateway, and

DNS settings when connected.)

I've Googled this and read for hours, and I have found some "fixs" that

didn't work when tried. Mostly it's iPhone 6's but a couple of Android

phones, too. No idea what flavor of Android.

It is happening with both Cisco WAPs (Aironets) and Netgear. And once a

device connects, it's happy happy to come and go, reconnecting as needed.

Any WIFI gurus in the crowd?

Thanks!
