Hi everyone,

No matter what I do the WiFi on my Samsung Galaxy S6 does not work with certain apps and processes. It seems to be connected with Google- such as, pictures on the Play Store will not load, YouTube videos constantly are loading but never play and certain games think I am not connected to the internet at all. Things like web browsing and google search work fine however, but streaming is incredibly slow. This ONLY happens with my AT&T WiFi at home- WiFi in other locations works just fine. My WiFi signal is full strength at home. I constantly have to use my data services (T-Mobile) and everything works great then.

Here is what I already tried:
1. Changing my DNS settings to Google Server
2. Clear app data and caches
3. Uninstalling and reinstalling the apps
4. Complete factory reset of the device (and lost all my games from a corrupt backup file, with nothing working still)

When I was resetting my device, I knew the WiFi still wasn't working because when it tried to connect to my google account only and not my Samsung account (again- google seems to be where the problem happens) it was stuck at "getting info". But when I switched to data it worked.

I'm not sure how to diagnose problems with my router involving my phone (like sending pings and such). This is getting really frustrating. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you
 
Have a similar issue from time to time on my Note 4. For ME its been an ISP issue. Logix and Time Warner Cable are the two its happend with so far.
Nexus 6, Nexus 7, HTC One M9 all work fine. And from time to time the Note 4 also works. But when the issues happen ONLY the Note 4 is affected and Only on WiFi.
Google services and apps associated are what are affected most. It always works on cellular data.
 
Im Also facing the same problem. Any solution for it?
i have a GS6 64gb. Apps like whatsapp and tumblr doesnt work on wifi, but works on mobile data.:(
 
I am having the same problem. My Samsung S6 is only having problems on my home WiFi. Mobile network works, other WIFI work, other devices on my home WIFI do. All my apps are very slow to load. Reset router, used 2.4, 5ghz, cleared cache. Any ideas? I have xfinity WiFi services with the XB3 router. Help...
