Galaxy s5 wifi issues

I just got the Samsung Galaxy s5 and I am unable to connect to my wifi.  I know my wifi is working, because my husband's iPhone works fine. When I try to connect it will say "obtaining IP address" for a while, and then a notification pops up that says "AP currently not in use" and then under our wifi network name it will say "failure to obtain IP address." The signal strength is very strong. My mother has the Lucid 3 and she is having the same issue with our wifi.  It's very frustrating because while trying to solve this issue I am racking up my data.  Anyone have issues like this?

Is your router set to limit connections to only specified MAC addresses?

Are you using the proper encryption setting?  (WEP, WPA, WPA2....)

Disable, uninstall, and force stop everythig labeled ANT. That was the only thing I found that fixed my problem (worked on figuring this out for about 3 days!). Running in safe mode does the trick also..because ANT ** is disabled. Easier to just get rid of it.
