WiFi Issues in Note 3

[EpicInYourFace]

I just recently bought a Note 3 , and i am starting to experience WiFi issues
I have 2 routers both which are having a problem with my note 3

1st: Cisco E900
Problem: The note 3 connects but internet does not work , it says DNS error but it is working on every other device

2nd : Some random router
Problem: Whenever i try to connect , it connects but it keeps on saying Obtaining Ip address after 5 minutes it gives an error saying that my internet connection is too slow to connect

I fixed my problem. I am using connectify in my laptop. But my note 3 shows unstable wifi connection. Then I updated my laptop wifi driver. Then in note 3 I off wifi power saving mode by dialing *#0011#. Then I unchecked all notifications in the wifi advanced menu. That's it.

When you go to the 0011 menu uncheck power saving mode

I am having very similar problems with my Note 3 after updating to Android 4.4.2
I can not connect to a secure wifi with password, the signal is strong however the device keeps trying to connect and eventually "Authentication error Occurred" appears
I can connect through web based wifi in pubs and restaurants but not through this secure connection.
It appears that the password typed into my device is not recognised by the wifi (I am using the correct password)
I have tried the *#0011# to no avail

+1 for Nayan's solution, the main issue at hand definitely seems to be tied to the "Power Saving Mode" on the WiFi. I've tried a ton of things suggested by service techs and community members alike and this is the first idea that's done anything to help so far. If you look around, a number of forums are flooded with Note 3 users having this same issue regardless of service provider or router manufacturer and most threads still don't contain a helpful answer, so hopefully this one will bubble up to the developers for Google/Samsung to help isolate the source of the problem. Thanks for posting!

It is connectify software. It turns my laptop to wifi hotspot.

Always use update wifi driver in PC and update your router software. When using wifi you should off mobile data network. Also off wifi power save mode by dailing *#0011# then press menu (left button) then see wifi option. That's it.

I was having a similar problem so I did what you did and dialed *#0011# and turned off power saving. It worked! I also noticed that for my wifi network it said connected to 802.11n. I have a 802.11ac network, doesn't the note support 802.11ac? Why isn't it connected to that?

I was asking how did you know to dial that number??

I faced this wifi problem in my note 3. Then I did lots of search in Google. And found it. Now No problem.

Note 3 supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot. May be something wrong.

So why isn't it connecting via 802.11ac? I'm kind of a nob to this stuff.
