S7 finds very little wifi acess points - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello, I recently purchased S7.
The problem is that my S7 doesnt find much wifi acess points. For example, my friends xiaomi finds wifi and connects to it, while mine S7 doesnt show me wifi spots at all.
Now i took my tablet asus zenpad and S7. I put them in the same place and turned on wifi. So my asus finds about 12wifi acess points, while S7 shows me only 4.
What can be wrong with S7?
I really would be gratefull for help!

IS this some phone defect or S7 has very bad wifi reception or maybe something is set in settings that causes this?

[Q] Wifi problems Samsung Galaxy Ace

Hi all,
Just bought a new Galaxy Ace for my girlfriend and I can not seem to fix the following problem.
When the phone falls in standby the wifi falls away.
Yes before you says so. I checked in the option menu in the wireless section. And I put it the option to never fall asleep.
So why does it still fall asleep?? I reinstalled the phone a few times. even changed it at the store for a new one. New one has teh same problem. Tried some wifi fix programs from the maket but same thing.
My galaxy s2 stays perfectly connected at my home router!!!
I am clueless... Anyone can help me?

[Q] Huawei Ascend G6-L11 - BIG WIFI ISSUES

Hello,
I've just bought a Huawei Ascend G6-L11, for my wife, and I already got two issues:
1. The smallest: the power charger is defect.... I sent it in service;
2. The biggest: big WIFI issues: if I am near WIFI router (I have 2.4GHx/5GHz router), the phone sees only 2.4GHz network (why?!?), I can connect to it, no problems. If I'm moving away, few meters, no wifi signal anymore!!! With my iPhone 5s, I can see both WIFIs (2.4/5) I can connect and no problems with moving away! It's clear the WIFI module has a big issue. I installed the latest official firmware G6-L11V100R001C02B119, but no improvements.
My wife is very angry on me, that I've chosen the **** cheap phone and she wants another one.
I'm confused, I checked on Internet similar cases, but I cannot find anything (it's too young this phone!??!). I found wifi issues on other Huawei phone, but nothing about Ascend G6.
Probably the wifi module is defective, I cannot find any explanations, but I think I don't have time anymore to go again in service . I have to buy something else.
Does anybody experience similar issue? It would be a great help for me.
BR,
Mircea
It looks like a defective phone.
I`ve got an Acend G6 4G and I have no wifi problems at all. It connects in every place in my flat.
Try with another wifi network and if the problem persists, consider sending the pone to technical service.
Regards.

Galaxy S8+ WiFi Issues

Hi Everyone,
I have seen a few posts relating to WiFi Coverage and WiFi not re-connecting back to wifi automatically but my issue is a little different. I can be happily using my phone and surfing the net when an exclamation mark appears against the wifi symbol and i loose all internet access... but it is not just limited to internet access as when this occurs my access to my philips hue system goes as well.. i keep having to borrow my wifes iphone to turn the lights off...
Anyway, I have been into the samsung repair shop and they want to rip the phone apart and put in a new motherboard... seems a little extreme (and they couldnt do it on friday due to not having the parts, so its going in tomorrow) but i wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this??
Just to add, this happens when connected to other WiFi Hotspots and i have no issues with any of the other devices i have connected to my network
Cheers

S10e WiFi connectivity issue

Hello all!
I have a S10e, running stock Android 10. The wifi at my house constantly disconnects and reconnects, rendering my phone as virtually useless, as it switches between my mobile network and wifi. I have tried all of the trouble shooting I've found online, just short of a full backup/master reset. I'm trying to avoid that.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? Better yet, how can I fix it? I'm rather annoyed, as I've had several Samsung Galaxy phones that have had minor issues, but nothing as annoying as this. I'm about to buy another model phone.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I have the S10e G970F_MMI - Singapore Snapdragon. Similar issues with wifi and bluetooth turning off immediately after update. Got one message from Wi-Fi control history that said Google Play services turned off wi-fi. I tried disconnecting Play services but that did not help however I am suspicious that it might also have something to do with Bixby Routines. Tried Samsung but no help as my phone is only 13 months old and 1 month out of warranty and I am not in Singapore but stuck in UK. Like you, I am a long time Samsung client with phones, tablets and TV's but I have now lost confidence in them. I tried factory reset and reflashing the custom ROM but no luck. I do hope that you can resolve your wi-fi issue and have a wonderful New Year.
Apparently, Samsung admitted the S10 series suffers from this issue. I noticed it on mine, just in the last month or two, disconnecting intermittently roughly every 30 minutes. I thought it might have been my router, but I realized it's definitely my phone (S10e US snapdragon).
Nothing I tried fixed it. I did disable "wi-fi power saving mode" and wifi auto connect (I have tasker auto re-connect wifi when it disconnects).
I do have "wi-fi san throttling" enabled in developer options, which shouldn't have anything to do with this. HOWEVER, you might try "wi-fi safe mode" under developer options and see if that helps keep it more persistent.
One other suggestion, though it shouldn't matter, is to try assigning a specific IP address to your phone (do this from your router settings, not your phone). And you can search for other solutions online to cut down on radio interference on your home network. Other devices and neighbors might be disrupting the router signal strength, possibly dropping it below a level that causes your phone to drop wifi.
I got the same problem before, used an Asus router. I changed to a Qualcomm chip router and its fixed. Try a different router?

Unfortunately I cannot, as the router I have is from my internet provider. I would have to run that to another router and at that point it's just a waste of money. Thank you for the info though! If I get annoyed enough I may buy a cheap router to see if it fixes the problem.

My Exynos stopped disconnecting after installing OpenWrt on my Qualcomm router
