wifi disconnecting

[hvfd13]

I have noticed lately that when I'm not using my phone, my wifi seems to be disconnecting and then reconnecting. The reason I know it's disconnecting is because anytime I connect to wifi, it shows it in the pull down menu in the notification section. If I clear my notifications, it shows back up later in the day. My brother has the Galaxy s5, and he said his does the same thing. Is this a known issue amongst galaxy s series phones lately? Is anyone else having this problem? Any fixes?

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Wi-fi, tap Menu>Advanced, and look for a Smart Network Switch option. Try turning it off. If you see any kind of "Wi-fi Optimization" option, turn that off as well.

I don't have an option like that.

Do you have any kind of battery-saving option turned on?

Nope.
I want to say this started happening after an android update in December.

This is happening to me too, even after unchecking those options in advanced wifi settings. It disconnects and reconnects every 10 seconds.
