WiFi issues after 6.0.1

[longtime44]

After i updated my phone the WiFi has been terrible. It cuts out every 30 seconds or so.

That's funny because mine has been better. I now have more reliable and better reception.

Try to forget and reconnect to nthe wifi network also have you tried a cache partition wipe?

One standard recommendation is to clear cache after every small update like the 6.0.1. Perhaps, you could try that as well.

I cleared my cache after the update BTW.

Hey guys I tried the cache partition thing and it didn't work. The WiFi is still unstable and constantly cuts in and out while I'm using apps like YouTube and Facebook.

Is this happening only on one specific WiFi network or any network you connect to?

If it's only happening when you're connected to your home WiFi network and no where else then I would say it is problem specific to your router settings or something in your network.

I'm not having an issue with it cutting out, however since the 6.0.1 update, my wifi is chewing up battery life. I did clear cache partition after update. My battery is draining faster and WiFi is always the top battery drainer in the list by a long shot. Right now it is 25% usage and the next one is 7%. This wasn't like this before the update.

You're not getting false reporting are you? I've had absurdly high wifi battery usage reported by the stock battery usage app, in both 6.0 and 6.0.1....a harmless bug I assume. GSam Battery Monitor, which I use, reports the correct stats. I had thought that the bug would be fixed in 6.0.1, but not so.

Idk what the problem is but it happens everywhere I go.
