Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth troubleshooting

[toy4rick]

Hello all,

I am trying to troubleshoot a couple issues I am having which I think are linked together, WiFi/Bluetooth

Samsung S6 - stock
Verizon
Marshmellow 6.0.1

I use a texting app on my PCs (work and home) called MightyText, it allows me to text directly from my PC through my phone. At work it seems to be fine 99% of the time, at home it more like 75%. One way to get it texting again is to stop my WiFi on my phone and restart it, then the texts go through usually.

Next, Pandora at home. Phone connected to a Bose music system via Bluetooth. Pandora won't start playing until WiFi is stopped, restart Wi-Fi and Pandora keeps playing until the song ends, the next song won't play. To get it going again I must turn off my Wi-Fi then Pandora starts right up. If I leave WiFi off, it keeps playing.

My Windows 10 PC at times will lose WiFi signal and then come back 30-60 seconds later, or if I reboot it, the reason why I bring up my PC is I have heard of Apple Xtreme WiFi router issues with Motorola Cable Modems and Cox cable (TV/Internet), not sure if this is in play here or not when it comes to my phone.

I know its a lot but something tells me it's interconnected somehow

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance
Rick

Have you tried rebooting the router to see if that fixes the issue? It seems like devices are disconnecting from the WiFi, and maybe resetting the router will help fix that.

Yes, I have rebooted the Apple router like 15-20 times in the last 3 months.

Rebooting the router or turning off WiFi on my phone seems to work for a small amount of time

What is also interesting is my wifes Samsung Note5 also running MM 6.0.1 doesn't have this issue with Pandora over WiFi, we tested it this afternoon as OK

Stumped currently
