🍏 My iPhone / iPad / MacBook keep disconnecting from WiFi

On Apple devices, Wi-Fi Assist is enabled by default and may cause frequent disconnections from the campsite WiFi.

🔄 Why disable it?

When the WiFi signal becomes weak (e.g., inside your accommodation), your iPhone automatically switches to mobile data (4G/5G).

What happens:

• You stay connected to the internet, but via mobile data, not WiFi
• The WiFi network no longer detects activity and disconnects your session to free up bandwidth
• You’ll need to reconnect manually
• You may think you're using WiFi… but you're actually using your data plan!

🛠️ How to turn off Wi-Fi Assist:

1. Go to Settings
2. Tap Cellular (or Mobile Data)
3. Scroll all the way down
4. Toggle off Wi-Fi Assist

🔒 Also turn off “Limit IP Tracking”

Still in the WiFi settings:

• Tap the campsite network
• Disable Limit IP Tracking
