S7 Edge WiFi dropping?

[MartinMPL]

So I think I have my first bug/fault.

The WiFi appears to be dropping and reconnecting momentarily. When browsing I barely notice but I do see the "toast" pop up with the WiFi name and connected occasionally.

However I've started playing Agar.IO and I keep getting lost connection messages and get booted out (annoying when I'm massive!). Has anyone else seen this or know a possible solution? Thanks.

do you have wifi problems with your other devices?

 

[MartinMPL]

No, all good

I have seen much better signal strength on my S7e, on both 2.4 and 5Gz than my previous Galaxy. No dropping at all. Do you have a wifi analyzer app on your phone?

I've seen the same thing occur, even when the wifi signal is strong. It's not frequent, but it's happened several times today.

It's off.

Yeah, Smart WiFi is off, and WiFi is also set to always on.
I'll forget the network and start again.
I had a faulty S6 Edge that did this but cell radios were the priority on that one so I didn't really take note...

Is there a particular recommendation for a WiFi analyzer?

Netgear has a very good one in the Play store. I also use Wifi Analyzer.

Thanks.

What about you SRC? Any luck?

Check your firmware on The router

Everyone who's reporting WiFi issues: can you please include the make and model of your WiFi router as well? WiFi incompatibilities are just as often caused by the AP.

Mine is a BT Home Hub 3...

The B&B we stayed in a few weeks back had one of those - I had to help the owner reboot it several times because it kept crashing. But when it worked, it was fast Didn't have a Samsung phone then though.

Hasn't happened again (that I've noticed) since I posted, but will keep an eye on it and report back.

 

[MartinMPL]

Mine continues to drop. Did it on a friend's router too (different model BT) so looks like a call to Samsung next week.

Check this thread I created earlier and see if it helps you.

No drops for me so far. It's been running strong. Do you notice drops on other networks?

 

[MartinMPL]

Yeah, like I said it appeared to disconnect at a friend's house this weekend. Will try the force IPV4 thing...
