    Delete/Forget your home router from your phone and remove the battery from your phone for at least 40 minutes. Read the troubleshooting instructions of your router, follow the instructions to a T and finally start a fresh connection. Good luck Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk

    (Samsung WatchOn) is a IR remote control. And in my opinion is flawless and simple. (Smart Remote) from the play store is the 2nd best for me, as it can learn new codes very easily and you can create your own remote to your own taste. Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk
