I'll keep the list posted with my findings (solution)...assuming I find one/it.
Thanks!

Mike - interesting you should bring this up. I have a similar problem with my iPhone - its an Older one - like 4 or 4S or something. But, yes, my phone claims its connected - but, then, when I try to play a Podcast - the phone asks if I want to use Cellular data! Which Sucks. I have a simple router that generates a Wifi signal in my place. When I want to listen to the PodCast - I simply go outside my door and access Optimum WiFi - since there is an Optimum hotspot right near the house I live in. But, yeah - it's a Totally PITA - and it's been going on for several months now!

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!
