Just got my new S7 and while moving content from my S4 to the new phone, wifi is just wonky. I keep getting a message on both phones that they can't obtain the ip address. I know my home wifi is working fine - all my other devices are just dandy. Whaddup with this?:-
 
Make sure you have IPv6 disabled in the router. Make sure the wifi encryption is AES, not TPIP+AES or TKIP. Make sure you don't have a microwave oven running.
 
It was the microwave!!! I actually ended up resetting the ip address on my phone. I guess it didn't find it auto-magically. What was weird was that the wifi turned off when I started to move stuff from my S4 to the new 7. Oh well, up and running now. All's good.
