Now you mention it, it rings a bell.
I just assumed it was a Google issue because that was the only network that they had issues with. All other wifi networks seemed to be fine.
Anyway, that was a while ago and seems to be resolved now. But it was immensely irritating at the time.

Well, it definitely was at least partially a google issue although I first became aware of it when my Mum & Dad got new Mac gear and it wouldn't stay connected to their BT Homehub.
I think it was eventually solved by everybody sorting their shit out, including Apple including some backwards compatibility.

This is a very hazy memory, but wasn't there a period of a few years where most macbooks, iPads and iPhones would have trouble staying connected to wireless APs using a certain version of the protocol? Not defending Google at all, but I have a recollection of a big apple vs rest of the world dispute on wifi protocols. I.e Apple spent a few years refusing to provide backwards compatibility for older kit and Apple argued that the entire world should upgrade their APs instead.
