LG V20 is having difficulty staying connected to a strong Wi-Fi signal. any suggestions please. thx
Has this been on any network or just a particular network? You live in apartment or dorm or anything that would be a consistent in wifi?When I connect to either 2.4 or 5.0 with excellent signal it drops out after a few minutes. Every piece of **** LG I've ever owned since and including the G3 had that issue. This is my last LG for sure
Have you tried forgetting all the network connections you normally use and then reconnect as is it was the first time?This is happening on my home network. Not sure if this is normal with Wi-Fi technology in general but I have noticed that even when I'm connected to the network with a strong (excellent) connection, the phone is still always searching for a connection. The list of available networks that are in range is amazing. At times there are 10-15 in the possible connection list. We are in a private house and the homes are not too close together in my opinion but seems like an extraordinary amount. Is there a way to maybe somehow mask the other networks from my router? Its a FIOS Quantum Gateway. I'm thinking maybe the other networks also have a strong signal and competing with mine. Don't know but I'm guessing here

When you're on the WiFi page, the phone is going to be searching, regardless of any other setting. It's assumed that you're there to find a WiFi signal to connect to. It stops searching as soon as you leave that page. (You don't use that page to see how strong the signal is.)I have noticed that even when I'm connected to the network with a strong (excellent) connection, the phone is still always searching for a connection.
That's probably not the problem (due to what's known as the "capture effect", but you could use Wifi Analyzer, as just.some.schmuck suggested (or one of the analyzer apps that shows 5GHz also, and use 5GHz on your router if it gives you enough coverage throughout the house). But normally, a dozen other signals won't cause a problem. (I'm the 9th house on the block and I keep the signal until I reach about the second house, as I'm driving down the block - and 2 other houses are on the same channel I'm on [which is the least congested channel when I'm home].)The list of available networks that are in range is amazing.
