s7 edge wifi issues help - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

hey guys so i bought three 7 edge , for my bros and for me . anyways whenever we use them the wifi disconnects after a while like sometimes even when i use it for a minute the wifi symbol is there but nothing on the internet can be downloaded or seen or anything my router is fine .. my iphone works on the same network .. any ideas? thanks in advance

Strange! Did you get a chance to try them at another location means connected to another Wifi router? I saw your comment about yours working with your iphone but that does not mean it is not the root cause of your problem. Can you please also give us the model and brand of your router?
Thanks
Phil

Thx. So if fine at work place that points to your router. I don 't know the sitecom but is it 2.4 / 5GHz capable? Also which Wifi mode is selected on it? Legacy vs N vs N/AC mixed? If you have an Auto mode, you may want to select it.
Hope this helps

Terrible wifi connection on note 3!

Has anyone else been experiencing this. I am connected with BT home hub and it's awful. Connection drops literally every few seconds. It was fine with note 2. Any soloutions? I really like the phone but these small glitches are making me angry now. First it was stock browser which I have stopped using in favour of boat, then the biggest selling feature S pen it's sensivity was really bad I fixed it by adjusting the potentiometer and now the wifi signal. I really hope there is a fix for it.

I also use a BT home hub but have had no problems with Wifi at all. Connects quickly and doesn't miss a beat.

No problems for mi.
Had some problems with Fritzbox, especially on the first two days. The connection was not stable, although I had no problems with Note 1, and I have no problems with any other devices. But after the first days this problem with Note 3 was gone by itself. Maybe you should wait...

From Note 2 it might not be so good .. im not completely sure yet but I do keep getting the annoying warning message on my status bar.

i got mine this morning.. i have a bt modem as well and it keeps dropping all the time.. think im gonna give it a day then if it continues ill just take it and get it exchanged..
Works fine on a Netgear router...
Some routers have issues with newer phones. (and some with older ones, as well.). Have you tried updating your router Firmware? Reset your router?
Also, set the connection type to Static, not DHCP.
i was thinking it was the modem but my s4 works fine.. already called EE about a replacement..
mine works fine.. better then my old device!
my Netgear router is located on the first floor at the front of my house (in the office). in the master bedroom ensuite i got like 1 bar on my old device..
now i get full bars..
I live in a newer development area and i am on the boarder of LTE coverage.. on any other device i get 4G in my house.. now i get 2 bars of LTE..
pretty satisfied..
now speaking of software jitters and such.. that's a different story
Mine works great

the wifi issue is the only problem i have.. smh.. EE says they out of stock of the note 3.. so i gotta wait til they have to send replacement
WiFi access points don't get better with age. The hardware is upgraded constantly and even firmware updates can't change the hardware. An old WiFi access point of 2-3 years will not work as well as the newer ones do.
WLAN connectivity and speed is real bad on a fritzbox 6360 cable (fritzos v05.50). Sometimes full speed with ~4+ mb/s, a bit later resends and timeouts all the time. foldersync is a pain over wlan. today i needed 1h+ to download my apps from playstore after flashing omega rom. Cabel connection speed 100 mbit! 2.4 ghz or 5 ghz, static ip - no changes hope there will be a modem update for the note3 or a fritzos update that fix it.

After updating firmware today to xxUBMJ1 (Germany) the wireless problem is solved!
and the "automatic switching" can be activated again.
For me, everything works fine again. NO more message for unstable wireless connection!

what was the problem you had before the update?
Went into a coffee shop. Where there is free wifi if you buy something. It was me and a friend. My s4 had full signal. And my new note 3 struggling to get connection it kept saying checking quality which is really annoying. Anywhere my s4 gets connection the note 3 checks quality and drops. Im right next to the router at home and this note 3 wants to check quality of the connection. Never had a problem with the s4.

WiFi question

So Just wanted to know if you think the G6 is going to have the same stupid WiFi problem as my very recently departed G2, with it stuck "turning on" (yes I did see Nyansuki post about this exact problem). My G2 started doing it about 6 months ago and ended up being smashed today because I was sick of it :good:. granted my G2 did last 4 years of being thrashed but still...
I love the knock on feature LG has but if the WiFi is going to be stupid I'll go another brand because I use WiFi 90% of the time and I wont put up with it not working right.
Thanks :good:.
No Wi-Fi issues with mine.

Haven't had any problems with mine either.
Hmm ok, I wont be buying for another week anyway so I'll be keeping an eye on this to see what other people say.
I have the g5 and g6 neither have WiFi connection issues. My g3 had that issue though.

This is strange..now my oneplus 3 cannot detect the 2.4ghz wifi..but,my g6 is ok..what is happening
I have problems with it connecting to open WiFi networks a lot. On the subway it wont connect at stations before the train take off. If I go to setting and actually click the network it will. Annoying.

WiFi still having issues on 4.5.3 build

Even if with new 4.5.3 build, wifi problem persists.
And I think I've understood now what's happening.
On auto mode (both bands), when near from router, everything works correctly. When far from router, wifi doesn't work .
The solution? Choose only 2.4ghz or 5ghz, not automatic, as someone already said.
I'm starting to think that this is an hardware problem... Not software... And I'm scared. If near to the 14 days return policy (I think) it isn't solved, I'm returning my device probably. I'm scared it could be an hardware problem (yes, OnePlus always have some hardware problem, on screen, or something.. this case maybe it's WiFi).
What do you guys think?
I never had any issue with Wi-Fi. Automatic, and it's 2,4GHz. After i tap the WiFi icon, it's tuning on automatically. I recommend you to send hack the device if the problem persist.
It is connected always to the network, 2.4g or 5g, but doesn't open anything. Any page, any speed test, nothing.
Are you mixing your n/ac bands? If your have an n router and the phone is constantly try to connect to ac? I don't know but anything is worth checking. Like force your router to one of the other
I had this problem when I had data saver turned on in Chrome. I turned it off, and it worked like normal.
It may specific to your device. RMA soon.

Is anyone using pi-hole as DNS and find it not connecting to internet or in some application that internet is not available but apps like browser still connect to internet and work ? Never had problem with WIFI when using pi-hole as DNS. this must be WiFi related bug

Nope... Nothing works. Buts only on 5ghz. On my OnePlus 3 everything works fine.

Nu actually i have 0 issues with my oneplus. I have a ipv6 rooter with both bands 5 and 2.4. Both work flawless. U really shoud test it on other rooters with different configuration(ac+n;ac only; n only; b+g) and see if the problem persists. My recomandation is 2 check the interferance level and scan for possible problems comming from u're neighbours that use same band as u (i had issues with my lg g3 because my wifi had the same band as my neighbours and had huge interference).

If other phones works ok with that router configuration, why should I change router settings to match OP5 needs?
Also, OP5 doesn't work on my work's 5Ghz network, so... It can not be router related.

Diferent phones diferent receivers/parts . It may be a compatibility problem i dunno ( i cand only suggest some workarounds) i didnt work at the building of 1+5 so... it is your decision if u want 2 investigate the problem or just move forward and maybe select another phone that fits your rooter.

No, I like this phone, so I'm trying to staying with it. I guess this is a software problem on the phone... I hope.
There was another thread on this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/wi-fi-connection-dropping-ipv6-t3627933
I was having problems yesterday morning right after updating to 4.5.3. It was only acting up on 5GHz.
That said, I've had PingTools set up to check every 15 minutes and I haven't seen any drops in the last 20 hours. The only thing I'd done to the phone was remove the tempered glass screen protector, but I have trouble believing that was the cause(!)
My OP5 arrived today and everything works perfectly. After reading the forums thoroughly for a week I knew what to look out for.
If the problem persists I would RMA, it'll be annoying to have the delay to use the phone, but better to have one that works in perfect order.

Wi-Fi frequently losing internet ?

S7 edge was working perfectly. All play store updates and the Samsung security updates installed.
Now after a few minutes on the internet while using Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi symbol has an exclamation mark next to it. Internet access stops. Switch Wi-Fi off and on again and I get a few minutes use again.
No other devices have problems on same Wi-Fi, internet works fine on mobile signal.
What the hell is going on ?

Reset network settings
I've moved router channel to a less cluttered frequency. Looking good so far. Sons Sony mobile had no issues though on the 5ghz !?.

Yeah I've had problems with 5ghz. Turned on hotspot with 5ghz only and the other device couldn't even list it and then switched back to 2.5ghz, everything was normal again ?
Still problems on a less cluttered frequency grrrr.

Very Slow Wifi - barely useable

I bought this phone for my gf it has a GLOBAL version 10.3.5.0 stable, everything is nice with the phone but it has one problem with home's wifi.. its very f****** slow like literally downloading apps or loading pages at 100kbs.. data works perfectly, back in our other home and all public her wifi works perfectly. I would assume that is the router problem, but on my phone (onePlus6 and all other family member phones) that wifi works perfectly with no hiccups.. I have tried to factory reset rn7 via recovery, no luck.. maybe u have an idea what could be causing that? Also if i turn off wifi and turning back on, that wifi doesnt show up immediately, but it locate other nearby wifi, the home's wifi shows up like after 30sec, and sometimes it disappear and shows up again. Phone BL is locked it just few weeks old, i bought it new. I guess installing custom rom should help, but my GF wouldn't like that cuz she afraid to loose camera quality, so im kind of with locked hands for custom, also one guy in reddit said that switching to custom didn't change situation.. damn the phone is really nice. First time in I have such a problem:/
It downloading instagram for 2hours... Its insane, browsed all the web, some people having exactly same problem, and can't resolve it they having different model of xiaomi redmi notes. I just can't believe it that nothing can be done in this case when it works on public wifi, at my family home, at friends, but just not at her house...
Any help would be appreciated..
Im loosing my nerves on it ://
Is your router dual band? If so, look for your wifi ID in your list and then look for the name of your wifi with "5G" after it. Try connecting to that. That's the 5 ghz band. Supposedly i's not great for going thru thick steel walls, concrete, etc, but I never experienced any of those issues.
