A few days ago I received my Tronsmart T428.
The stick connects to the home network is also a frequency of 2.4GHz and a frequency of 5GHz.
The problem is that the internet is weak and really slow.
When I open a video on YouTube, the video stops every few seconds and it takes him a few seconds to load.
The seller offered me to open the device and pull the WiFi antenna out.
Is there any other way to fix it or a guide to fix the problem?

i have the same problem, very low internet speed (<1mb/s). with the same rom
trying to solve it by connecting the ethernet cable.
today i bought the usb/lan adapter but no solution. Nest step : try another adapter.
And on your side ? fixed the problem ?

So I was messing around with my tablet after not using it for a while and noticed the wifi was HORRIBLY slow. I mean, 2 mb/s at BEST. My internet connection maxes out at 20+ so this is less than 10% of my wifi's speed.
I did just flash a cyanogenmod rom to it a month or two back so I figured I'd just try another one. SAME PROBLEM. I flashed a nightly, SAME PROBLEM. I flashed Xenogenesis. SAME PROBLEM!
So I had flashed the tablet a few times now, so it needed a charge. I was doing some research and decided to test the wifi again, while it was charging. The wifi was nice and fast again! I was getting 15-20 mb down and 2-3 up. So, thinking I fixed it through GOD knows what process, I went back to messing around with the tablet in the other room. SLOW WIFI AGAIN!
I read to try enabling performance mode, messing with advanced Wifi settings like turning Wifi optimization off, turning Network Notification off, wiping cache, reflashing. I stopped at offering up my cats to the internet gods because I'm not sure that this is a software problem anymore. The tablet is ~2+ years old. Should I just resign it to media consumption and forget ever using wifi again?
I just upgraded my router from a Netgear N600 to an Asus AC1750. No other devices really have an issue with the wifi.
If changes in software don't fix it, and only the charging cable will fix the slow wifi, could I have a bad battery that doesn't give enough voltage anymore? Is there an app where I can give more power to the wifi?
Anyone else having issues with 5GHz wifi becoming unresponsive and needing to be turned off and immediately back on to kick it into working?
I've got Smart Network Switch and Download Booster (switch to mobile data if wifi is no good; use wifi + LTE) both switched off, so they shouldn't be a factor.. I even switched them back on and then off just to be sure that they were in fact off.
After a painful day spent trying to transfer data to the new phone, and installing all of my usual apps - having to disable and renable wifi at least 50 times throughout the day - I decided to switch from using my 5GHz wifi to 2.4GHz (same router), and it now seems fine. Switching back to 5, and I end up back with the same result - wifi will work fine for a while before stopping.
My Galaxy S5 has no issue using the 5GHz (and neither do any other devices I have), so it doesn't appear to be the router (Asus RT-AC87U) at fault unless there's just some compatibility issue with the S6.
Phone is G920I (Australian version, 64GB)

Pretty sure this is a Android 5.0 problem. My nexus 6 has this problem as well. I have the AC68U. I am getting my GS6 tomorrow so I will see if it has the problem then. No problems on 2.4 like you.
Turn off the stupid Smart Network Switching.
noticed exactly the same thing, all other devices in the house are perfect, but the S6 loses connection now and then even when next to the router.
No issues using my 5ghz wifi network and the S6, have not had to disable/enable it once for any reason. Tmobile version.
You might try getting yours replaced, 50 times in a day is insane.
Thanks for the replies guys - oddly comforting to see that some others are having the same issue..
@byronhinson - Can I ask what brand of router you have (since both Prod1702 and I are having the issue with Asus routers + Lollipop)
I have exactly the same issue and on top of that the phone gets laggy when it losts the wifi!
However with classic wifi (not 5Ghz), it works fine all the time!
GS6 32Gb - Australian version as well
Same issue here. I hope they will fix it.
No issues here, 5ghz all day long well when I'm home

I have a AC68U as well (or the T-Mobile 'Cellspot' version of the same), and my Galaxy S6 stays solidly connected to my 5ghz network all day.
Turn Off Smart Network Switching!
Problem solved..

Look at the silver lining - at least you didn't spend an entire day unawares and having to constantly switch wifi off and on to kick it back into gear, before *eventually* (after all of your transferring of data and installation of apps was done) thinking to switch to 2.4 and having it work as I did

I had the same problem and my router also is ASUS AC87U , wifi disconnected problem can solved after upgrade your router's firmware.
but there is a very serious problem I found.
on ASUS AC87U 5G wifi + Galaxy S6 , it drain battery very fast and get very high cpu usage at screen off.
it means the phone always keep running and can't get in sleep mode.
connected to another brand router it just be fine, very stable and no battery drain, So, I don't know this is ASUS's problem or Samsung's, that makes me very annoyed :crying:
hope someone can told me how to solve, thanks!

Argh - trying to update the router firmware was the first thing that I tried when I found the issue.. Stupid bloody router kept on saying that I had the latest version, but checking the Asus website shows that there's a later version from 2nd April that requires a factory reset after installing - 2 of the things fixed are around wifi issues..
Updated and so far so good, but I guess a couple of time will tell. I'll keep an eye on battery/cpu usage and see how it goes..
Hopefully a router firmware update will fix the 5GHz issue for others that are having the issue too, at least for those with Asus routers.
For all of you who are having this issue, how is your battery life?
Just got my S6 today, same router as the OP (Asus RT-AC87U) and same problem on 5Ghz. Constantly disconnecting and reconnecting to Wifi.
2.4Ghz works fine
5Ghz work very solid on other devices so i'm not really sure what is the problem.
Galaxy tab S 105 and 8.4 works fine on the same router's 5Ghz network.
5GHz for dummies
I was having similar problems, where two Samsung devices in the house were both having difficulty remaining connected to the AC87U router for any length of time. Sometimes they would continually report Authentication Error but then connect happily after a reboot. Other times, they just would not connect.
In my case, it boiled down to dumb user error. I was using the same SSID for both bands, but had mistyped a character in the password for the 5GHz band and so was only able to connect to 2.4GHz band.
Perhaps this will save somebody else some trouble!
I've been using Tmobile/ZTE Sonic 2.0 LTE hotspot for a while but lately it has started showing an issue where after using it for an hour or so it would just go black. I can see the network in the list but I get no internet connection. The only way to fix it is to take out the battery and restart but same thing happens after some time.
I tried another one (same model) and facing exact same issue. So I'm wondering if there is any external factor that could be causing this issue? The only thing connecting to the hotspot is my work laptop.
I tested the new hotspot at home and it ran for hours without any issue all the way till the battery died. This morning I brought it back to the office and within few minutes same issue. I have tried master reset but that did not fix it either.
My B1-730 tablet keeps dropping its wifi connection, despite being only 12 feet away from the router. Often I need to reboot it to get the connection back (turning wifi off/on and airplane mode on/off doesn't work). This is now happening at least once per day. It's running Android v4.4.2.
Any ideas how this can be fixed?
Just check if you are facing this problem on your other devices if you have on the same wifi connection. I was also facing this problem couple of days ago then i got my broadband line checked and the issue was solved.

No - there are 2 other tablets and 2 phones in the house and none of them have this issue.
