Wifi connection is terrible - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+

I'm having major issues with wifi. So I am connected to my home wifi and having issues, basicalliy losing connection constantly. If I turn off wifi then turn it back on it will work again. The signal strength is 5 bars constantly (I'm about 20 feet from the router). I have made sure all other devices connected to the wifi are working while the phone is not.
Is anybody else having issues? I'm on OJ6 and I had this issue on the prior software as well. I'm non-rooted and have not tried the wifi patch as I don't think that is the issue.
Anybody else having this issue? If so, did you fix it?
I'm almost thinking the modem in the phone is faulty if nobody else is having this issue. I was hoping it was the kernel and I could just change that but... two issues there.. there aren't alternatives to try and it doesn't appear others have this issue.
Any help or insight is appreciated. If I do have to take it back to Sprint will they replace it? I've had the phone since October 1st.

Please help? Issues on some Wifi networks

I have a strange issue where I can't send or receive data over my wifi network at work. I am connected to it just fine and I know it's working because my co-workers are sitting next to me and do not have any issues on their EVO or Thunderbolt. This has been this way since I got the phone. Strange thing is that it works just fine on my wifi at home. Has anyone else experienced this or have any tips on how to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Bad WiFi software?

For a few weeks we have 2 N7100's.
With both phones there are problems with WiFi.
Sometimes it won't connect, but worse, it won't disconnect.
WiFi keeps telling that it's connected to our AP even when we're out of town.
This way we won't get on 3G.
The only solution is to throttle the WiFi.
One phone is rooted.
One phone is un-rooted.
Both had WiFi-static, but I've removed that on the un-rooted phone.
This didn't help either.
Is this something in the software?

I've never had any problems with it on my Note 2. The first week i was stock and unrooted. Then rooted with ARHD and now i'm using ParanoidAndroid, still without any issues. Can connect to any network just fine, with password and without and disconnects fine too.
Did you try and do a reflash? factory reset? reset router? Perhaps some app is messing around with it.
Must be an issue caused by the modem/router, my wifi works flawless and is super fast mate.
The problem is on different AP's (locations, brands, settings) and both Notes had this problem from the beginning.
I'm wondering if it could be caused by having multiple SSID's in the settings of which some are working with static settings.

[Q] Lost connection to Google all of a sudden.

And once again the problem has returned.
At first I wondered if it was a Google connection issue. Both connections would go grey. But I couldn't connect to anything. When I turn WiFi off, I'm able to connect to everything again with my mobile connection.
Running Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 on my AT&T GS3. Never had an issue like this before. Any ideas?
Really having trouble with this. Someone suggested WiFi fixer, it worked for all of 30 seconds and then WiFi stopped working again. I can't use my mobile connection for long because AT&T as we all know caps it like crazy.
Edit: Odd thing. An iPhone isn't connecting either. But the wireless computers in the house are. So maybe it's the router? It does appear to be the router. For now I think everyone can just ignore this.
I've posted similar questions with this phone, my old sprint Samsung epic 4g touch and my nexus 7, I did notice that it seems to be kernel dependant, some rom/kernel combinations cause the issue some don't.
Check to see if there is a firmware update for your router

WiFi Issues

Is anyone having wifi issues on the March update? I'm trying to determine if it is the phone itself or my wifi AP.
Thanks!

Yep sorry. Forgot to define it. The WiFi randomly disconnects for a few seconds and connects back to the network.

I will admit the Wifi is kind of squirrely on my phone.
Not in connection but in performance.
i havent experienced disconnects accept with wifi I KNOW to be crap.
i do experience choking where nothing is moving quite often.
Does this happen to you on all networks?
I really like this app to keep tabs on that sort of thing, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicatorPro
I've had that happen before intermittently. It also happened with my Nexus 6P. I think a full wipe/reset fixed it for my phone.
You could also try to forget the WiFi connection, and then reconnect to it. That may help. I also tried power-cycling my router at home.
Good luck.
Ok so I use Unifi UAPs at my house and I have read about this issue on the unifi community forums a little but some people are saying it began happening with the February update. Apparently the claim that disabling ipv6 fixed the problem but I am reluctant to accept that as a solution. Just wanted to see if this is a broad issue or something I should take to the UBNT forums.
I have only had the phone since February (thanks verizon) so I can't comment on performance before that. Before the pixel I did have a nexus 6p that was fine on my connection but I have noticed some connectivity drops too on it recently. However I don't use it as much as the pixel so I can't say for sure.
Thanks all!

I only connect to the WiFi at my house since I have plenty of data so I'm not sure if it happens on other networks. I also wouldn't be on other networks long enough to test either since it appears to happen sporadically.
I noticed this was a old thread but curious if anyone found a solution? I'm on March 18' update and my wifi connection constantly cuts in & out. Router is a Linksys with Mediacom as ISP. I tried both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands with no luck.

wifi issue

any one else experiencing wifi switching itself off and then wont switch on until you reboot phone only since 8.1 oreo update ?
NO
No just the range of wifi is poor
Can't connect to my neighbour's
Yes!
I have the range issue too.
It has only just started happening since the May 2018 security patch.
I have to in the room near the router to connect to wifi now. Before it used to connect in other rooms too.
I got my phone in the second week of May and I have the WIFI range issue for mine too. I need to be closer to the router to connect to the WIFI. My Samsung did not throw any issues with the WIFI range. So I'm a bit frustrated with my Nokia phone. The Wifi keeps dropping now and then.
Will Nokia send a patch update to fix the issue? Any guesses?
