Hell everybody. I may be switching from my S4 to a Maxx HD via Verizon's alternate device replacement. How's the reception on the Maxx HD?

I will be pushing that direction. I went from a Thunderbolt to a Bionic to the Rezound and only paid for the original Bolt. I plan on going through as many Razr Maxx HDs as it takes for them to admit defeat.

I've had 2 Razr Maxx HDs now and both have dropped wifi connection every 3 to 5 seconds. I unchecked the avoid poor connections box and also chose the 2?ghz band for wifi. Still dropped. Chose the other wifi band and same results. On both units.

I think "norm" is a bit misleading. Enough people have had problems with wifi that there's something going on. But many, many more haven't had any such issues. I've had mine since it was released last October and my wife got hers as soon as she saw mine. Neither phones have ever dropped wifi after I configured them (2.4 GHz only and wifi sleep never). We're both home a lot and carry our phones from one end of a fairly big, two-story house to the other, plus outside on decks and in the garden. They have never disconnected from our router once. I have about a dozen SSIDs saved, including several friends' houses, my sister's house, a bunch of Starbucks, etc., etc. The phone connects flawlessly and has never dropped a connection at any of those sites.
As I said, some people had issues. I don't think we know if it was a bad batch of hardware, a driver problem, one or more apps that are causing issues or some other problem. But my experience with the radios in these phones has been great. And I know of several others who also have this phone and report no problems.

Put me down as someone that has never had a problem with my phone and wifi. Put down my wife and son as two more people. We all got our phones in early December and they've all been fantastic. Have a two story house with 3,000 sq. feet, router is in basement in a room at the end of the house. No problem with wifi anywhere in the house. Also have been able to connect to wifi everywhere I've gone--friend's houses, sports stadiums, doctor's office, etc. I've never even had to think about it.
Mind if I ask what router? I'm not saying its not possible so don't take my posts as such. I just know I could be right next to my router and the phone would say connected but randomly stop loading at all.

It's an ASUS RT-N56U. It's a great router except on occasion the router will freeze for a second and the router log will have messages "not enough room in management ring". When it happens it seems symptomatic of my phone dropping wifi but it simultaneously happens to all wireless devices in the house--laptops, iPods, and PC's--so I know it's not my phone. If you suspect your phone is dropping wifi, note the time and check the router logs for errors.
Good to hear its not everyone.
But fast forward to now I'm using this router and the RAZR HD had a ton of issues too.
ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router:Amazon:Computers & Accessories
So, when you say good to hear it's not everyone, are you getting the "not enough room in management ring" error with your Asus router?
Prior to the Asus I had a Netgear 3300. It was OK but the range on the Asus blows it away.
