If you come off the interface then it is normal for it to re-ask you to login. Depending on the browser used this may be more or less frequent than you'd prefer.

ive never have to re enter my wifi password to get back on the network once i have auto join in my iphone it only happens with this router.

You're talking about WiFi? It sounded like you were talking about the interface password. Are you using mirror mode?

On the iPhone forget the network completely, then reconnect and see if it disconnects again next time.

Are you on iOS 14?

[Netduma Fraser]

Are you using Adblocker or Traffic Controller at all? Adblocker may be enabled by default, could potentially be blocking it all though it is unlikely.

ios14 the newest update, i dont have adblocker or any sort or trafic controller.

[Netduma Fraser]

Could be the newest update, which is why it is only this device. Potentially QoS is seeing packets from the device and dropping them. Disable QoS fully from the Congestion Control 3 line option menu and see if it works then please.

What’s your security protocol ie.WPA2? 
 

There are one or two reports that’s it’s asking for password and seems to be just the odd device. I just updated to IOS14.2 so worth checking if you are up to date.

[wilsonbx198st]

wpa-psk2

[Newfoundland]

You need WPA2 which might be the issue and worth trying.

Yes WPA is not as secure which is the one you said you were using, did the WPA2 solve the issue?

[wilsonbx198st]

No no no wpa-psk2 it’s the one am using and it’s the most secure the other one isn’t secure enough for me to switch.

[Netduma Fraser]

Try enabling the guest WiFi network and connecting your phone to that, do you see the same issue there?

WPA-PSK (AES): This uses the original WPA protocol, but replaces TKIP with the more modern AES encryption. ... WPA2-PSK (TKIP): This uses the modern WPA2 standard with older TKIP encryption. This isn't secure, and is only a good idea if you have older devices that can't connect to a WPA2-PSK (AES) network.You need to be on WPA2-AES for the strongest encryption or if you had a AX device is WPA3. You are probably using WPA2-PSK (AES) as there is no WPA-PSK2 (AES) the only WPA is WPA-TKIP which is years old.
