So this problem has been plaguing me since I got this phone. It seems this problem is only when I'm at home on my FiOS connection via WiFi through the supplied Actiontec 802.11n router.
If I am on any other WiFi network, my connection is snappy and instantaneous. But at home, there's always 5 or more seconds of latency before a web page will start to load, or before the network connection actually starts transmitting data. I don't understand it?? I factory reset both my phone and my router and the problem persists. Oddly enough, maybe 1 out of every 20 days, it will act normal and be as fast as it should be. It's totally random and not often.
Has anyone else had problems with their Note 3 through an Actiontec FiOS router??

My WiFi on the Atrix crashed all my 3 routers (ActionTec/Dlink/Linksys), sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after several hours.
The routers needed restart after that. Also wired connections were affected.
I tried messing with static IPs and sleep mode, nothing worked!
Now I upgraded my Dlink DIR 655 from 1.11 to 1.33 (supposedly the best).
Things changed
Now my Atrix takes only itself down, the Dlink keeps working for other wireless and wired devices.
The Atrix says its connected and I get the icon with full bars, however no data is transferred. The market and other apps say network error.
I can switch connection over to my other WIfi network and all is good again.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Also is there an app that shows me the link mode G or N and the current link speed? I cant seem to find a good app. I would also like to see if I can lock the Atrix to G or N only. Is there such a toggle switch?
Thanks.
Update: Switched connection from Dlink to Linksys and it worked for about 30 minutes then the linkksys crashed (could not reconnect got no IP). Switched back to the Dlink, got connected, good signal but no data. Even after a phone reboot. So I think it might be still on the DLink side although I have Netflix (PS3 wireless) and another PC connecting fine. This and the VOIP mic problems (Skype etc...) bug me the most about the phone.
ive been having this same problem since i got my phone and im still having problems. its pissing me off. cant even use my netflix through the Wii to watch on the big screen
spacev and trapjawmusic, who is your internet provider? I have a POTS+DSL line + WRT54GS and never encountered this problem.

centurylink is my isp. i dont know if its my router that is just crappy or my cell phone is interrupting it while the wifi is on and im trying to browse causing the routers wifi to cut everything off thats on wifi
hello;
so i have a google N7 32Gb i updated it to 4.2.2 and suddenly it has hard times to connect to the internet.
on my laptop (also connected by wifi), i have no problem
on my desktop (connected with a lan cable) , i don't have any problems either
sometimes my N7 works like a charm but other times it doesnt.
I've mentiond when i turn wifi off and back on then i have like 10 seconds of browsing time.
Some have had success by forgetting the connection and rebooting the router, then setting it up again. Wpa-psk seems to be much more reliable than wep. Static ip in advanced settings has helped some. Mine is a dhcp enabled 802.11n with wpa/wpa2-psk encryption and has been flawless.
I use psk 2 but that isn't the problem since I get connection but the problem is my nexus only stays connected for like 5 or 10 seconds.
If I turn the WiFi off and back on on my nexus then I get connected again for like 5 or 10 seconds.
Weird enough I don't have this problem on any of my other devices ....
Yeah. I just started having this problem today on my Nexus 7 with Cellular. The HSPA+ connection doesn't have issues; I can surf normally but when I'm using Wi-Fi, it's problematic.
I didn't have this issue until recently. Very strange.
We recently signed up for TWC cable at home and have purchased our own Netgear C6300 modem/router. Since then, I have had a very noticeable delay in certain apps. For Google Play store, there is always an exact 15 second delay from the time I press install to when the app actually starts downloading. For YouTube, the thumbnails take about 10-15 seconds to load. For Netflix, the app takes about 10-15 seconds just to connect to my account and display thumbnails. These are the only apps affected, which seems strange. This only happens when connected to the wifi network at home from my Note 3. We have the 200Mbs internet plan and I can confirm we are getting 235Mbs when hardwired to the router and I'm getting 230Mbs on my Note 3 through wifi at the same time I am seeing this delay. So I don't see the internet speed being the problem. If I disconnect from the wifi and run on Verizon 4G LTE, there is no delay at all. When using a different wifi network with my Note 3 in different locations (work, friends house, etc) there is no delay. When using my ASUS tablet and my home wifi network, there is no delay within any of these apps. This only happens with the new Netgear C6300 modem/router and my Note 3. The other strange thing is that once this delay has passed, I have no issue with download speeds or any buffering during playback. It all just seems to be that initial connection. I even went as far as doing a hard reset on my Note 3 no see if that solved the issue, but nope. I am currently running Android 5.0 and the Netgear 6300 is running firmware V2.01.19. Has anyone else experienced this? Have any ideas as far as solutions? Help is much appreciated.
Hi I have a issue I don't understand maybe someone could help. I am browsing the web or watching YouTube and my phone drops WiFi connection completely after 20 minutes.also other devices are not online eather. At first I thought my isp was the issue. That's not the case because as soon as I switch my 3s max WiFi off all other devices connect with no problems.as long as my 3s max WiFi off other people in my home can use the web with no problems.as soon as I switch my 3s max WiFi without 20 minutes my phone is offline and and other people are ofline as well. Is my phone faulty
Are you sure the issue isn't just your router or modem?
When I brought my router upstairs and connected it to the Ethernet port in my room (which is fed through a hole in the wall going down to the basement and plugs into the modem there) I discovered that my laptop's WiFi signal would drop every 5 minutes. No other devices had this issue. Only 2 laptops were connected to the 2.4 Ghz network being broadcasted by this ac router and only my laptop was having issues. The issues were magically solved by taking the router back downstairs.
It wasn't the router and it wasn't my laptop's WiFi card, since Internet worked fine with the router downstairs. Turns out the Ethernet port isn't wired correctly. The point of this story is, you need to undergo the process of elimination to figure out what's causing the issue. Maybe your router can't handle X number of devices at the same time, or something is eating up bandwidth and throttling your connection.
Hello,
I just purchased this Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) SM-T510 tablet a few days ago and I've had strange issues with 5GHz Wi-Fi from the start.
The problem is that when I'm connected to my 5GHz wireless network and open particular apps (that were not already running or in the background), the apps have no connectivity at all and after waiting several minutes might still not have connectivity or run at a very low network speed (0-3Mbps). The apps I have experienced these issues with so far are Discord, MX Player/VLC Player (when trying to run files from local network), Firefox browser and Play Store (when downloading or updating apps).
Chrome, YouTube and Speedtest run fine whenever I'm connected to the network and start them, but Speedtest sometimes gives a download speed of 2-6 Mbps and other times 80+Mbps or more. Upload speed is always 170Mbps or more. Server does not matter. Chrome rarely shows a "website not available" screen for like 0,5 seconds before succesfully connecting to a website.
However, if I launch for example Discord in Pop-up view and then run Speedtest in the background, suddenly Discord gets full connectivity as soon as I start the speed test even though normally it would take minutes or not get connectivity at all.
The Wi-Fi settings in android show that the connection speed to the router is around 433 Mbps despite the connection working very slowly even within local network.
The issues persist even when I'm next to the router and have disconnected every other device from the Wi-Fi.
My Galaxy S7 and Nexus 7 are also connected to the same 5GHz network and do not have any connection issues with any apps and S7 always gets around 250Mbps down and Nexus 7 150Mbps down on speedtest.
However, If I'm connected to the same network on 2.4GHz, everything just...completely works. Discord, Video Players and browsers have full connectivity and speed as soon as I start them. No issues at all. Speedtest gets 40-50Mbps Download and Upload speed all the time without speed drops at all. This at least makes the device less annoying to use, but I would still much prefer to use the faster 5GHz network.
So far I've tried the following things to no effect:
-Restarting tablet and router
-Forget and readd the network in settings
-Reset all network and connectivity settings in android
-Played with Wifi Fixer app from Play Store
-802.11ac, 802.11a and 802.11n only modes in router instead of 802.11a/n/ac mixed
-Different Wi-Fi channels and channel widths in router
-Assigned a static IP
Planning on doing a factory reset on both the tablet and router later, but any help or ideas would be appreciated. Don't want to return this thing just yet.
Couple of years later, but I have the exact same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
