Is it activated to always or only when plugged in? I'll post a full list of the settings I have which has sorted this issue. If they don't woek for you then I'd recommend a new modem
Hi, I'm still having the same problems. When I forget the network it works again for a few days but then I get the dreaded 'sign in required'.
Im almost 100% sure its a modem problem. It connects to my mum's modem with no problems. I borrowed my mum's old modem and it was fine, it connected with no issues with the samsung although it kept kicking my idevices off and required them to sign in!
So I think a new modem is in order, hopefully it will help with dropouts to as we have way over 20 dropouts a day (telstra)
Oh and I have the keep wifi on during sleep activated.
I had this problem when I first got my S5. it was noticeable because my S4 never had an issue automatically connecting to Wifi.
it turned out to be a problem with my router as BT came and changed it to fix an unrelated issue with my broadband, and hey presto, my S5 has automatically connected perfectly since.
worth checking your router if possible.
try "forgetting" the network and reconfigure it
it solved my issues with my home wifi where it wouldn't automatically connect upon turning on wifi
This worked for me thanks.
For the record my home wifi would connect automatically but my work one would need to manually connect simply by tapping 'connect' on the router name as per the original post.
Hello - I'm having the same problem with my Galaxy S5. Just got the phone about two weeks ago. None of the recommendations here have worked yet. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that I turned off network broadcast to increase the security of my network. In other words, the name of my network is not broadcast, so it is not found when a mobile phone scans available networks. You have to type the name of my network in, and then the password.
Other folks having problems: is the name of your network being broadcast?
Thanks.
