Anyone had luck with factory reset?

Haven't seen that. A bunch of settings--phone and router--have been suggested, including 2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz.

I'm going to try using only one frequency band (at the router), but it's not a great solution, even if it works....

You have option choose between 2.4ghz or 5 on the router?

I can either use the same settings for both and let devices pick (which I'd been using for a long time), or have separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSIDs.

I'm breaking them out now and just not using the one frequency, in case my S10e is somehow getting stuck when switching between the bands. Doesn't make much sense, but neither does the problem I'm having!

Ok, try keeping it on the 2.4ghz
