Why does my wifi keep reconnecting on my Galaxy S5 every time I download something?

Wifi Keeps Reconnecting on my Galaxy S5 everytime I download something

Hey guys. So I noticed that the wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting right after everytime I transfer significant amout of data. I also noticed that the frequency of the drops are proportional to the amount of data downloaded.

For exemple, if I simply load a light page it drops and reconnects maybe once or twice, but if I'm close to the router (higher speed) and try downloading some heavy package it disconnects and reconnects every 5 seconds. Seems like it can't handle high speed data transfer.

I've already tried testing all the 12 channels on my router, and I also have the smart switch disabled. In addition to that, I live with 3 guys and none of their devices show any problem so I hardly think that the problem is the modem or the router.

I've also tried a hard reset and this problem has been showing even before I upgraded to Lollipop

Any suggestions of what it might be?

Thanks!

Welcome to Android Central! It's still worth rebooting the router. There are plenty of times where only one device seems to have a problem. Also, make sure the router's firmware is up to date. See other tips here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...roubleshooting-wi-fi-connection-problems.html
