WiFi dropouts on Nexus 5

Hi,

I have a Nexus 5 (USA Google Play Store version) and have had issues with WiFi dropping out for a while now. The WiFi on the phone often freezes. What I mean by freezing is webpage might stop loading half way through or a video might stop streaming and just freezes. To get the WiFi to work again I have to turn WiFi off and then back on again. I have reset the phone and have tried another nexus 5, and still have the same issue. All of the other devices that I have (several computers, tablets, iPhones, an s4, etc) work fine. I have 3 Fritz! box routers that all have the same SSID, password, etc. I am using Verizon Fios. Any ideas as to how I can fix this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Are you remembering to add your password? Sorry for the question.

Yes...The phone usually connects to WiFi fine and it works for 10 to 15 minutes before websites start to freeze again.

Do you have the same issue away from home?
With a broadband cable provider?
