Same issue with my S8 and now this S9+. I return home, connect to wifi and phone data is crazy slow. If I cycle wifi off/on, I have same issue. If I cycle airplane mode on/off wifi speed returns to normal. This occurs every single time I enter my home.

Access point is not the issue because I've tried two different products. I make sure airtime fairness is disabled. Doesn't help. Any ideas.

AP tried:
Netgear R7000 in AP mode. Using both netgear firmware and Merlin firmware. Same issue.

Ubiquiti AC Pro. Latest firmware.
 
Have you tried selecting a different channel, in your modem setup?

And does it occur on 2.4 and 5 Ghz?
Do other people also have this issue?
 
Using 2.4Ghz due to range. Wifi load is light. Yes, tried changing channel, also tried reducing to 20Mhz only. Other devices all work ok. No issues. Only the 2 Samsung phones. BTW, it's not an Oreo issue. The S8 had same issue with Nougat.
