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.

Hey everyone. I just recently picked up this tablet. Its the Verizon 4G version, but 4G isnt active right now so Im using WiFi only.
I can connect to wifi no problem, but as soon as I launch the play store the wifi drops. If I exit, go into the settings for the play store, etc... WiFi turns back on.
Any ideas?
Anyone? Ive noticed now that it seems to be happening using browser or opera too. Last night I powered te tablet off, rebooted my router and fired the tablet back up and it seemed to work for a bit. Im not too keen on having to do this each time, however.
Haven't experienced this at all. Try a wipe? Clear play store data? <-- doubt that would help but who knows.
Well the fact that its extended beyond the play store and into browsers bugs me.
I performed a wipe - no success. I started googling galaxy tab wireless issues and there are posts everywhere, but most were for the 10.1 tab it seems.
Interestingly enough, if I switch to 5GHz on my dual band router, it seems to work fine... but the 5GHz signal is so weak that the tab randomly drops it. It seems to be the 2.4GHz band that being a pain in the neck.
Interestingly enough, my old iPad has no issues with either band in any applications.
Wifi Issue
I just received my galaxy tab7.7 2 days ago and it seems that I'm also having the same problem. After reading online I realised that certain routers don't work well with it. I am not sure about the exact problem but next day I connected my tab to university network and it worked absolutely fine. I don't know if there are certain models which are having this problem or if all 3G versions have this issue. But I may write it up to samsung later to find out more. You can download an app e.g, Speedtest.net from google market and check if your network does work with it or not.
I use intel my-wifi to connect it to my laptop's network, it works fine for first few minutes but then my-wifi shows that tab isn't connect to it anymore whereas my tab shows it's connected to the inernet but doesn't open any page, email etc.
no such behavior from my tablet in last 45 days or so .
try factory setting ....

First time poster here. I've searched all the threads and couldn't find anything on my specific issue.
Had the Nexus 10 for about a week and noticed streaming YouTube and movies was EXTREMELY slow. Slower than my Galaxy Nexus on the same WiFi network (my network speed is about 18-20 Mbps). I finally did a speed test and noticed that my 10 was getting awful results...sometimes 3-6 Mbps while sometimes it'd get up to 10-13. My Galaxy Nexus gets between 14-18 Mbps consistently. For my 10, every speed test fluctuates between 3 to 13 and it's just so inconsistent.
Now, I don't have any connectivity issues. It never drops the signal and I'm always connected, it just goes super slow to the point of YouTube videos not loading.
I'm not a wizz, but I use ATT uverse and use the router they give you. I'm not sure if it's a router issue or a Nexus issue.
I've restarted the nexus, turned off the WiFi optimization and turned the WiFi off and on. I had a ton of issues with my nexus 7 (main reason I switched to 10) and I really don't want to ship the device back to Google. Any suggestions??

For starters when you toggle WiFi optimization you need to reboot for the setting to completely turn on/off.
What ROM / Kernel combo are you using? If that is stock then it is likely the router.
ISP routers are usually cheap, they don't handle multiple device traffic very well. One thing you can do is change the stock/auto settings they come with as they are less than desirable. Lower channels/and or Auto Channel (in both 2.4 and 5 GHz), QoS, software static IP, and even Google DNS can all interfere with your router. First go into build.prop and look for the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 lines and delete them, reboot. Try that. If issues persist go into router firmware and change all the Auto settings to a preset. Even something as simple as your phone logged on at the same time could interfere if the channel is saturated. Take everything off the WiFi except for the n10 and try that. Getting a 3rd party router with dual band / 802.11n support is ideal.
The least likely issue is that it could be a hardware issue with your n10.
Hi, I'm having trouble with my N7 dropping WiFi signal. Not sure if it's related to android 4.2.2 or what. It was working a while ago, but now not so much. The wifi hangs - like when I'm in chrome a website will take way too long to load, and then a minute later it will load in like half a second. Or when I'm streaming netflix, I'll go for 5 minutes just fine. And then the next 5 minutes it will stutter every 2 seconds.
I'm really not sure what the deal is. Any ideas?
I've tried on a couple networks. I have an asus n66u router. I set up a separate network on the 2.4 ghz band all by itself just to see if it would improve performance. It hasn't. Most recently I tried using my phone a a wifi AP from about 3 inches away. Still the N7 stutters and drops the signal.
Any help would be appreciated thanks!
Sorry if this is in another thread. I tried searching but couldn't find anything similar.
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??
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?
