PROBLEM:

My android device is showing that I am connected to the Wi-Fi network at my community college (where I attend), however, when I try to use anything that requires internet it says there is no internet connection. Is anyone else having this issue? Will upgrading to Marshmallow fix this?

WHAT I’VE TRIED:

I tried clearing cache (as per this TheDroidGuy article:http://thedroidguy.com/2015/09/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-wont-connect-to-mobile-network-1048753)
Rebooting to bootloader
Rebooting phone
Navigated to Google in Chrome
Navigated to Google in Firefox

DETAILS:

I don’t know exactly what info an android-wifi savvy reader would need to be able to help, so I have provided as much info as I could find in an effort to be as thorough and helpful as possible. If any other info is needed, please let me know.

ALTERNATIVE POSSIBILITIES:

Mercury retrograde -- a time when communication between people can be very confusing and when electronics fail more than others times of year -- was supposed to be over yesterday, but maybe it’s still the 22nd in some part of the world (I’m in Western USA).

Virgo astrology horoscope for today said that I was going to be “tired of having to troubleshoot things”. Immediately afterward I realized my phone was only streaming via mobile and not via the wi-fi network it told me it was connected to.

These may be longshots, but I think they are worth mentioning.

Any help is appreciated.

From one soul to another, thank you in advance for your kind assistance.
