N600 wifi connectivity issues with Samsung phones
I have an issue with my Samsung phones where the wifi signal is found and connected but then 10 seconds later it must disconnect because it starts searching, finds the signal, connects,and then disco...
Do you see the connection actually dropping? Looking at my Android phone it scans constantly but does not drop the wifi connection. If you do a search on the android forum you may be able to find a setting to disable the constant scanning for phone you have. I know I can't disable it on my Android phone. Looking at the Android forum, it also be an APP, interfering with the wifi forcing scans.. Process of APP ellimination perhaps..
My Samsung Galaxy 5 doesnt actually show it disconnecting, just that it reconnects (which leads me to believe it is disconnecting too) but the Samsung Prime phone does actually give a banner message of wifi disconnected, and then rescans and connects over and over. I really think its the modem because both phones are doing it. Today I shut it off and pushed the button on the back (hoping its a reset button) and then powered it back on, so far it isnt doing it. But it seems to be an intermittent problem anyway, so not sure if I solved it or not. doubt it was that easy!!
