Very slow WIFI with s7?

[rob350]

Noticing incredibly slow WIFI on my new s7.
Some googling people are talking about disabling ipv6 on the router. But what about when at hotels and such where changing router settings is not an option?
Likewise my router does not seem to have a ipv6 settings.

Is this a software thing that Samsung could fix or should I return/stay away from the s7?

There was a software update pushed today for verizon which helped with wifi

This is correct. Look for the update.

Ok. I called Bell, they say they are aware of it and "working on the update" but cant release any form of a timeline.

Any word on an update for AT&T s7?
Im finding that my galaxy s4 is faster than my s7 on the same wifi going to the same sites

just a workaround. I found it faster on the 5G band of the router ( that is if you have a dula band router). hopefully this get resolved soon

Will give this a try. But sadly I'm in hotel rooms for the majority of my days, so an actual fix is needed.

If the 5G doesn't resolve it for you, turn off Bluetooth. I found that if Bluetooth was on, 2.4G wi-fi was slow and flaky. All that is fixed with yesterday's update from Verizon...
