Android Central Question

I have noticed just recently that sometimes my Galaxy S7 edge and a Kindle fail to download over wifi when someone turns on an ipad. It doesn't always happen but I wonder if I need to block this piece of junk on the router management panel to ensure my Galaxy and any other Android device is not compromised?

It could be just the radio interference. (If you're near a microwave oven when it's running, you'll probably get disconnected from wifi - and maybe even Bluetooth.) Probably no need to block anything. (If it happens sometimes, it could be only when an iPad is on a channel close to the one your router is using. Install Wi-Fi Analytics Tool to see what's happening around you. (Not knowing is like driving with one eye shut.)
