Strange WiFi network - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

There is a WiFi network "BrokeAsDancer" that shows up on both my phones. Rooted N3 and stock S5.
My PC picks it up at home but on our phones it shows always nearby and full strength no matter where we are, including another state.
Anyone ever see this issue before?

Its because either you have connected to that network before knowingly or unknowingly and it saves it in the phone, so when you are in range you can connect it again. You can get rid of it by long pressing that network and forgetting it as og.blaah said. Even if you restart your phone it won't go away, you have to manually "forget" that network. Hope it helps.

I've never connected to this network and it shows up as full signal available on multiple phones in every location I'm in. Its been doing this for over a year. Anyone that comes into contact with this network (as in, in range of) gets this problem

If it was on both phones in multiple locations, and one phone was stock, its because of some app you're using, only reasonable explanation

No apps. Just switched ROMs didn't install anything and same issue. No common 3rd party between the two phones. It is a mystery

T-Mo Wifi calling and app update issues

I was having an error where wifi calling suddenly decided to not work after a couple of months. Also, at the same time my app updates stopped working. After using my google machine for a few minutes, it told me I have to change my 911 address on the t-mo site. I changed it to the nearest business to my house as directed by google machine. Problem fixed instantly. This has something to do with big brother requiring more accurate 911 addresses or something, and the address has to be "recognized" somehow and apparently business address are more recognizable.
The error I saw was this: "W006.15 ISP or T-Mobile Network Error". Also, something about how I have to register to the network then the wifi app would crash when I tried to connect. On the app updates, it would download the app. Then instead of going to install it would appear to try and re-download the app and then crash with the notification of error downloading update.
Anyway, hopefully this saves somebody else some time.
Decided to turn on Wifi calling today and saw it was not working. Getting the same error. I tried this, clearing the app data, removed battery and sim but it still is not working. Been looking around and see that many people are having this problem. Hope it gets fixed soon...
Need to make sure you'd wifi is sending information because sometimes your gateway or router would take a "break" and not found anything. So try to restart your router.

[Q] New router and tons of problems

Hello everyone! I recently upgraded my house internet connection to fiber optics (100/10) and i'm so happy with my internet speed! But I think my router is causing problems.
It's a Comtrend router. Here is a picture of it.

Fabricante: Comtrend
Model: Comtrend 5813
I'm not sure it's a very good router, but regardless, it's giving me problems on my phones and tablets. I noticed that messages didn't come in right away. And sometimes if I wake up my device and try to use the app store or gmail it'll say that it couldn't contact the server. I have to hit retry a couple of times before it works again. For the app store no problem. But for incoming messages via Line or Whatsapp, or emails via Gmail, it really gets on my nerves. But after I get it working again it doesn't give me a single problem until it sleeps again or I drop the connection with the router. I don't know...
The configuration is pretty straight forward. It WAS on just WPA and now it's on WPA2-PSK with AES. Both are giving me the same problem still.
Do you guys know anything that could help?
U should give it a try without encryption and see if it's causing the problem. And also u can turn off the router's firewall and ckeck how it goes.
From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere!!
As mentioned, try without encryption, but also disable wmm, qos, maybe reserve an ip etc. If it's fine then, enable the services one by one by process of elimination.

Wifi Drops

Trying to figure out if this is an issue for others or I just have a defective phone. My Verizon M9 has been occasionally dropping signal throughout the past 2 days that I've had it. It's not a signal strength issue and none of my other devices have this problem, so it's not my router.
Anyone else out there a effected by wifi drops on this phone? My build number is below, for comparison.

Have not seen this on mine. Wi-Fi performance has been better than the m8 for me. Netgear r8000 here.
Same here we have 3 m9's in house an no WiFi issue @dottat nice router i got same one
I use UniFi Access Points all over my home due to the size and no issues with WiFI whatsoever so far.
Thanks for the replies, I may be taking it to the store then to swap out since it's looking like the wifi on this phone is kinda defective.

If you disable the switch to cellular setting does it stay connected?
Or disable the Wi-Fi optimization.

WiFi Issues

Here's the issue I have a HTC Desire 526. It's prepaid through Verizon Wireless I'm having severe Wi-Fi issues. In order for me to connect to my router I have to place my phone within an inch then use WPS to connect. Once I'm connected I cannot walk more than two feet before it disconnects. Once it disconnects it says either disabled or null under the SSID. While I'm connected I cannot use apps that that use high bandwidth like Twitch. While I'm connected to the internet I hold 5 bars never more, never less. I have attempted to clean the Wi-Fi antenna if I correctly located what appeared to be the Wi-Fi antennaa according to pictures on Google Images. As well as the GPS antenna I also unplugged and plugged all of the what appears to be brass or gold plated terminal thing wires back in. I have 3G and what appears to be three signal bars but it usually takes 2 to 3 minutes after the phone starts to turn on. I've never had any issues like this with any other device or router or Internet or anything. I may have while unscrewing the void screw possibly cracked the board somewhere that's what I'm thinking. I also broke whatever the microphone looking thing was attached to the screw, does anybody know what that is?
Also the Wi-Fi turns on and off normally it also scans other ssids which I know are fairly far away in The Neighbourhood so I don't think it's a Wi-Fi antenna issue.
I did not put any screws back in because they were making weird ringing noises.

My phone went like this last night, and it hasn't came back on again, my phone was on low battery last night and it went into extreme power saver, I don't no if this is just a coincidence or not but I'm lost here
never seen that before. id turn it off, take the sim card out, clean it, re-insert and see if that does anything. Otherwise call EE and check their isnt an issue with the account?
edit: you havent turned on airplane mode or something have you?
I'd also try to change different APN settings. I'm guessing only mobile data is affected and wifi works fine?
I don't no what has happened but I use that phone code *#*#4636#*#* to change it to 4g, and it reconnected, hopefully it's a one off issue and I'm not being locked out

P6P has its issues with data and reception. Lot's of complaints about low reception / low voice quality with low reception and slow data transfers (wifi isn't unheard of either but less problematic). I think it's been improving with software updates but mine still a complete pile of **** in terms of reception and phone call quality.
Try a hard reboot, if that doesn't work a network reset. On Samsung's it's called SIMtoolkit, clear its data as well; it will rebuild itself.
