Hi molineux1,

Is your Samsung S6 able to connect to any network other than WN3000RP?

Check if there is a recent Android update for your S6

Please try the other solutions suggested in this thread, such as turning off the Smart Network Switch.

Also try removing your MicroSD card and rebooting your phone.
