Hello all, I have had the Galaxy S4 since December, and for the first couple of weeks I had no issues. Ever since then, however, I have been unable to use Wifi consistently. It doesn't matter where I am; whether I am at my own home (using a Comcast Xfinity Modem/Router with 50 mb connection), my parents (using a Linksys router with Charter with a 30 mb connection) or at work (using an AT&T hotspot, unknown connection), my phone says it is connected to the Wifi source, but after a few minutes, I have no internet connection. Things just stop loading like I am not connected to any network at all. Toggling Wifi off and then back on again makes it work again for a few minutes, but it goes back to not being a usable connection after 3-5 minutes. This happens regardless if my signal strength is 1 or 5 bars. Additionally, at my home, I am literally 4 feet away from the router and sometimes have 1 measly bar. Even more frustrating is that my husband has the exact same phone, is on the same software version (4.3) and has no problems like this whatsoever. I have turned off Auto-Connect to Wifi, I have turned off Passpoint, I have turned off Auto Network Switch, and I have "Keep Wifi on during sleep" set to Always. I don't know what else I can do short of doing a factory reset on my device to get this to work. I am sick of having to use my plans data in areas where I should have an awesome wifi connection.
