I have the S2 8.0 and the Nexus 7 and have to say I notice this new S2 really has poor network performance when connecting to the same wireless AP. Even side by side I notice specific lag with making network connections.
No, sorry. Mine is really good - seems to be better than my iPad Air!
Yeah not brilliant, my Xperia phone has better WiFi signal but it's better than my Galaxy Tab Pro.
My WiFi performance on the SM-T815 9,7LTE is awesome. Got a 100tsd cable Internet, and on 5ghz WLAN I got downloads up to 90Mbps and 90Mbps up . And this stable and constant. Download of 2GB takes a few sec,......

Yes, I noticed the same. My N7 2013 has far better wifi performance than the S2 8" (SM-T710).
Wifi is good with my S2 9.7 inch... no problems so far.
My S2 8" T710 sometimes has very fast wifi and suddenly it stops and waits so long until it works again.
I noticed that the T810 drops wifi at points in the house were the ME176 has slow reception. (but doesn't drop) It could be better.
I have really slow wifi as well, and i expect this the reason for my other issue of lags in scrolling though Web pages. I have a 9.7 inch version. Anybody has a solution? Otherwise I will contact samsung...
have s2 8 and it has the best WiFi of any tablet I've owned (nook, both n7s, n9)

I don't know how the Note 4 rates, but it shows a similar strength reception to my 710 when I'm walking around the house with WiFi Analyzer on (Checking if there are clashing channels with my neighbour's routers which they have on 'auto-channel'.)
I certainly haven't noticed any sudden freezes or 'drop-outs'.
My second day with the tablet so just a days worth of observations. In general it's blazing fast on my AC router. I did a speed test and hit 53 down, 18 up, 10 sec ping on a 50/15 connection (one room away from my router). Play store downloads i.e. huge down download FAST. However there were a handful of times where I got big time slowdowns, even some hangs. This were mostly while browsing in Firefox. During one session I couldn't even get Ars Technica to load and even the Firefox addons page was taking forevvvers to load. That happened a couple of times but the rest of the day my browsing etc. speeds were fine.
@stateit so far my impression vs. my Note 4, the tablet probably has a slight edge in a speed test, but the speeds are very close in normal use. Out of the two I would definitely deem the N4 more consistent. I think I've had trouble loading a webpage once in a year of N4 ownership so I checked it on my PC and the domain was actually down.
No "problems" with the S2 though... was just messing with it thoroughly today and noticed that rare lag. I'm really glad I got it (JUMPed from a 2014 Galaxy Note 10.1).
I can't even connect to some wifi networks....

Same here, very poor signal strength... Any solution?

I've ran the Speedtest from my labtop and S6 edge on the same AP separately from my desk. I've ran the test 3 times and the results were consistently faster by 10Mbps (down and up) from the labtop than S6 edge. It seems something is limiting the Wi-fi speed on S6. Is there anything I can do to bring the Wi-Fi speed of S6 equal to labtop?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's pretty normal variance. Different hardware, different results.... ie.., Both on 5ghz network w/900mbs WiFi rate and blast Internet at 125ish down..
My laptop with Killer WiFi blah blah brand new, 120+- down pretty consistent.
Rooted S6E 2 days old 115mbps down +- a few.
I'd say all is normal, unless your laptop is 120+ and phone at 30.... then there is an issue.
try to activate air plan mode .. then deactivate it
None of my devices has ever had dropping problems with the WiFi (iPhone, iPad, S6 Edge+, notebook and a wifi extender). But since I bought the S2, it is randomly dropping connection, with no pattern.
Which model did you buy?
SM-T719
It's the latest 8" with qualcomm
Yes I'm having the same issue in the T713 model but not in the T813 model, both are th Qualcomm model
Im having the same issue with mine. I called samsung support and they were no help.
Same issue with sm-t713

Same issue with SM-T813, found a temporary fix.
Just replaced my SM-T810 with a SM-T813, and ran in same wifi drop issue. My girlfriend and her SM-T813 ran in the same issue too. It happen randomly from 3-4 times per hour to one time in 2 hours. I foud it only occurs on 2.4ghz network connected in N. It happen to me on 3 differents routers, DIR-868L REV B 2.04, DIR-868L Advanded Tomato, DIR-628, and Asus RT-AC68U stock with latest firmware. If i configure the 2.4ghz band to G only, no issue, also, the 5ghz band got no issues at all. Hope this help your issues while waiting for a fix from Samsung.
Thanks for the tip. I can confirm that 5ghz wifi works perfectly. Hopefully samsung will fix soon.

Valid information, ndompierre!!
I´m situated in Germany and bought a S2 8.0 (SM-T710, Android 5.0.2) last week.
One of my use cases is watching movies which are stored on my NAS. With my "old" Nexus 7 (2013) everything worked like a charm.
But with the S2 I ran into the issue that the movies stucked once in a while.
At first I thought it had something to do with the apps I am using, BSPlayer and MX Player Pro (which work fine with the Nexus).
I even downloaded VLC Player but the same behaviour occured.
Then I downloaded the movie locally to my Tab and deactivated WiFi. Bingo..played without any hiccup. Proof enough that everything is fine with the apps.
So I googled a bit and came across this WiFi issue others also have. After I followed your proposal and changed the 2.4GHz band in my router from option "802.11n+b+g" to "802.11b+g" everything works fine again. No dropout during the whole streamed movie.
So I hope, too, that Samsung will come up with a WiFi fix soon.
Interesting. I've noticed that since updating to MM, my T810 seems to frequently switch to my other wifi networks on me. My preferred SSID is 2.4GHz N mode. I never catch it happening when I'm using the tablet, but after going to sleep and waking it up it literally seems always to be on the "wrong" network if I've previously switched it to the "right" one (not sure if it hops off the other 2.4GHz ones as well). I'll stick wiht 5GHz for the time being!
Saw Spotify dropping out a few times this weekend while connected to a wifi Hotspot. Haven't had a chance to test it at home yet. T817W model running Marshmallow.

I bought the T719 LTE 8.0 inch Version last week and also hab wifi connection problems, but only when in airplane mode. My Router is am fritzbox 7490 at 5ghz. Currently without any reason the wifi connection is stable. When in LTE mode the wifi was always stable.
I have the same problem too. (T719 LTE model) I was wondering would the radio mode consume battery faster instead of airplane mode?
P.S. I still have problem but i am on airplane mode. Have not tried yet radio mode
disconnecting wifi
I have the t819 bought it last week constantly dropping wifi had the s3 tablet before never happened also have ipad and does not happen. Sent samsung an email but still waiting for reply
My T813 does this, but only on battery when optimization is on. When it's on the charger, or I turn power optimization off, it stays connected pretty solidly. I suspect a fault in the power management.
It is kind of annoying, as I have some clients that have to be restarted every time the network drops.

How do you turn optimization off? Battery optimization can be turned off on my tablet, but it has to be done app by app (one at a time)
Rate this thread to express how you think the LG V20's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?

WIFI Multi Route Network Problem
I am having problems with wifi on my work network in the office. The explanation I got from our IT department is that the phone is having troubles with multi route setting on the network. Wifi home works without problems, but wifi at the office is not working at all. It is showing as connected but you cannot open any page nor get any internet access through any app. Anybody having this issue?
This is the first phone I've owned that has been able to fully utilize my home internet speeds. Every other phone has reduced the speeds by as much as half, and sometimes as little at 25%.
The auto switch between wifi and mobile data works great. There was nothing more frustrating than sitting in my car in front of my house, trying to pull up navigation and the phone running horrendously slow because it wanted to use my wifi that was 100 feet and 16 walls away, just because there was a signal.
I had the same issue with my wi-fi and internet signal for a time. Have you tried checking the phone lines in your area? Stactic noise in the lines may affect the stability of the signal. Have an IT expert check and replace the line if necessary to hopefully resolve the issue.
Signal strength is better than my note 7 before I sent not back I ran test checking data strength. I walked outside up the street connected to home wifi note lost connect 7 houses up the street v20 i was near 9th house
GPS accuracy, Lock speed, and reliability is poor for me. Can we vote on that?
My V20 is head and shoulders better than my Note 7 when it comes to networking performance. I had real, serious issues with throughput on the N7. My Note 3 would get ~5MB/sec transfers from my home Linux servers' SMB shares, the N7 would get 800-1000KB on a good day. The V20 is on par with the N3 on SMB, but where it REALLY shines is encrypted transfers via SCP. I can do SCP file copies at 80MB/sec reliably. It's amazing. I'm guessing we have some sort of encryption offload chip in the phone or something.
Does anyone else have this issue where the wifi cuts in and out every 30 minutes or so? I have a Netgear WNDR3400 router and I'm on Nougat 7.0
very lg-v20
lg v20 perfect phone-very speed.
my favorite phone
I agree man. Very speed. Much phone. Wow.

Auto Proxy
OK so I investigated the issue of not having internet through WIFI although connected to network, and the issue is that the phone cannot use auto proxy? My LG G4 did not have this issue. Setting up manual proxy through Drony app solves the issue. Any way to get this working straight out of android? Seems like 7.0 took a step back in usability.
I have a Asus AC68U router and the LG V20 reports the connection speed as 78Mbps, whereas my S7 Edge shows the speed as 173Mbps while connected to the same network.
Why is the V20 connecting at such a slow speed? Have reset the router, turned off Wifi optimisation on the phone, but speeds have not improved.
Is there anything else I can try out?

I have the same router. Mske sure you are connected to 5ghz and you will get adequate speed. I have no problems.
Wifi strength is good, a lot better than my G3. The download speeds are a little less than my laptop, like 35 vs 50 and 70 on 2 laptops, they may be connecting to different severs though, the speed seems to vary more on the phone. Sometimes it's slow to switch over to LTE when moving out of wifi range. Tells me no internet connection when wifi is too weak to get a good signal. Mainly an issue I think with a weak wifi signal that it's still trying to connect to.

What steps do you go through to make your v20 connect to work wifi? I have a new v20 from Tmobile and upon my 1st try to connect to work wifi, i can reach the splash login page, but after entering credentials, it bounces me back to the splash page instead of verifying that I have logged in. My older Nexus 6 has no issues connecting to wifi...

Solution to my issue: Not sure if it was a combination of things or just solely this tip from an LG rep:
Go to: Settings>Apps> (3 dots top left) > Show System> Wi-Fi > (storage>clear cache & clear data)
Tried connecting to Wifi after that and it worked on my v20. Also I entered in slightly different info in my work wifi splash page which may or may not have made a difference.
Hello, has anyone had a problem that they cannot connect to 5G on your router? My phone will not connect to 5G what ever I do, but will connect no problem to 2.4G. I've tested it with several different routers and all my other devices connect without any problems.
WiFi Issues
I was having issues with my WiFi at home only. Connected everywhere else. I found a post on this site that helped. The post was for a different issue. I just looked at all of the other settings that were available and did a little experimenting. My issue is fixed. WiFi is now good everywhere!!! I have T-Mobile so I am not sure if it will work with other carriers.
Dial-er code that got me to the right menu.
*#546368#*918#
I found that taking the metal back off my v20 improved download speed significantly!
I reported that in the discussion about people unable to get 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
My Nokia 7 Plus connects to my Netgear D7000 router on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
When the phone is near to the router it will max the connection speed out using speedtest at about 75mbps (max internet speed for me) however as the distance from the router increases the speeds drop off dramatically to either 1 or 2 mbps or they drop completely and it keeps trying to jump between networks presumably because the signal is low.
The drop in speeds seems to affect the download speed more than the upload speed.
I have an old Galaxy S5 and in the same positions it holds the connection easily and will still max the connection. I can go much, much further from the router before the connection drops.
If I use wifi analyser then I see that on the S5 the signal looks to be about 10db better, it simply looks like a case of the S5 having better reception.
How do others find the performance compared to other phones, is the wifi poor or do I have a duff one?
I'm currently using Oreo 8.1 with the July security update., has anyone noticed wifi being better using Android P?
Android p is far better

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm just reading through the thread on Android P at the moment and will probably give it a try providing I can make sure I can roll back to Oreo easily so the device can be returned if it is actually faulty.
I'm noticing this on my Snapdragon note 9. I've ran comparison between oneplus 6t, iPhone 8 and iPad , pixelbook, and Note9 is the only one that has the problem.
When testing with speed test, all of them have good download speeds. But when it comes to consistent connection, note 9 is the only one that has a problem. I know game isn't a best way to test, but I don't know other ways to test.
When I play slither.io on my Note 9 it glitches like hell. Not smooth motion at all, to a point where if there are more than 4 or 5 other players near by its unplayable. When playing against AI it's completely smooth. So I know it's not processor speed.
Using other devices mentioned, same location same WiFi and I have zero problem.
My home is gigabit fiber on Google WiFi.
Not a big deal, but it's annoying that a $1000 phablet has this issue. Also note my friends Galaxy S9 has the same twitching issue. Seems like some software issue with WiFi..
It's actually better NOT on wifi.
Yes! Cuts out randomly. Luckily I have unlimited data so I keep it on all the time. Hope they fix it soon.
If you go to wireless settings there's and advanced page with all kinds of options. I turned most off so mine would not jump from the VPN Router to the Media Router as I moved around the house. I think a lot would be great for people in a dorm or corporate campus but around me just not needed.
