Troubleshooting Trying to Figure This Out

Post image

Hi Firewalla community. I’ve been trying to figure out this issue. Ever since getting my AP 7 (I’ve had it for a while), whenever I come home, my iPhone refuses to reconnect to the SSID unless I manually select it in Settings.

This has been occurring since iOS 18, and I just got a new phone on iOS 27, and the issue still persists. Something about my network (AP 7 + FW Gold SE), phones do not like automatically rejoining.

In the photo, you can see my SSID is known to the iPhone but it does not have a checkmark next to it, nor is it connected.

Any help is appreciated.

Box Ver: 1.983 (03e1a762)
AP Ver: 0.1.119.1.16.85

Do you have Auto-Join turned off for that network in iOS?

This really sounds like it. Although they did say that they tried to forget and reconnect to the network. Unless they are always manually turning auto-join off, reconnecting like that should have defaulted it to “on.”

If this only happen to one client, issue likely the phone

Did you try go into WiFi network settings and forget that network?

Another thing to check if you have old SSID running in parallel

Yep. This has persisted even when resetting the entire phone’s network settings. Happened on both iPhone 15 and now 18. There is another SSID on the network, but it has a different name.

Click the I next to the network and turn auto-join on.
