S4 wi-fi connection stability issues

Hi all. I've had my S4 mobile for 5 months. I never use data only wifi connected to home modem. Worked perfectly on wifi. About 4 days ago I noticed the internet starting to drop out and reconnect. Yesterday it wouldn't stop.
I spent 10 hours googling the issue, clearing cache and cookies, tweaking advanced settings and a heap of other things including 1hr on phone to Internet provider resetting, testing and reconfiguring modem just in case. NOTHING! It was also affecting Galaxy Tab2 and sons hp notebook but not our ipad. Now they are fine. It's just my mobile. I'm exhausted. If you can help me out with the cause or solution I would be ecstatic. My last plan will be sledge hammer for phone and prozac for me.
It's doing my head in!!!

Welcome to the forums. Have you contacted Samsung about this? Have you received an update recently?

I believe it preformed an update last week and honestly it has been problematic since then.
I sent an email to Samsung on Friday.... still waiting.
If they tell me to reset I think I'll be ill.

If it was a large update and to a higher version of Android it is advisable (read mandatory) to do a factory reset.

Re: S4 wi-fi connection stability issues

I hear what your saying, had the very same thing happen with my S2. Got feedback from Samsung this week; they said reset. So as usual I didn't do what I was told and found my way into the "inner sanctum" and messed around in there for a while and today *whispers so phone can't hear* it seems to be working, not 100% but better. Only wish I could remember what I did.

Thanks heaps for your reply. Its only day 1.... I may be back.
