Constant home wifi disconnect/reconnect with GS3 and GS4

I've been having terrible trouble with my previous Galaxy S3 and my new Galaxy S4 on my home wifi network.  They CONSTANTLY disconnect and reconnect.  Sometimes it can happen 2 or 3 times in 1 minute, and sometimes it won't happen for 5 or 6 minutes, but then it will happen and it will happen 2 or 3 times in rapid succession.  This is really irritating when I'm viewing a web page and it has to reload EVERY time the disconnect/reconnect happens.
What can I do to keep my GS4 from doing this?
I have the Verizon GT704WGB DSL modem/wireless router.
I have my laptop and my Kindle Fire HD connected via wifi to this router, and they never experience the problem, only my GS3 and GS4.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi TR_Young,
We're here to help! Have you tried resetting your router? Do you know if your Wi-Fi router needs to be updated? I understand wanting the phones to stay connected to Wi-Fi. Do the phones having problems have trouble on other Wi-Fi networks? We look forward to hearing from you about these details.

  • My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home.  The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone.  How can I fix my MacBook?

    My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home.  The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone, so I assume the issue is with my computer.  My computer works fine on wifi networks elsewhere.  The only problem is at home.
    The computer "connects to the wifi," but browsers and other internet-dependent software do not work.  Curiously, if I connect the ethernet cord that doesn't work either. Usually if I reset the modem to factory settings twice (for some reason, once doesn't do the trick), my computer will fully connect to the wifi.  However, in a few days, it goes back to not working.
    Today, resetting the modem didn't work. I could only get wifi connection while in safe mode, but not in normal mode.  So, the issue seems to be software not hardware. I have tried starting new accounts in normal mode, but those also don't connect properly to internet.
    Not sure if this is relevant, but this problem started when my building switched internet providers from ComHem to Telia (I live in Sweden).
    What do you recommend I do?
    Thanks!
    PS I use Snow Leopard: OS 10.6.8

    Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
    What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

    My ipod will not connect to my home wifi, it can see it and asks for a password but will not connect. I have tried it at another location and it will connect to other wifi connections. I have another ipod that is connecting just fine to my home wifi.

    - Reset the iPod. nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    Hi shelly92555,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your current situation. If you are saying that you are unable to unlock the original iPhone due to a passcode issue, you may find the following article helpful:

  • TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

    My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

    Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Home Wifi Network Issue using Airport and 2 BT Hub...

    I'm having problems getting my home network set up without IP conflicts.  Any advice much appreciated...
    Here's what I've currently got:
    BT Broadband Unlimted
    Hub 2.0 connected to broadband line - wireless network switched off
    Apple Airport Time Capsule connected to Hub 2.0 by WAN cable (Airport running in Bridge mode)
    Various Apple devices (MBP, iMac, iPhones, iPads, iPod), PS3 and Sony Surround Sound connected to Airport with wifi.
    Wifi extender connected to Airport by wifi (obviously) for upstairs - PS3 and occassionally MBP connected to that)
    Ethernet cable from Airport to a Hub 1.5 in the Garden Office with MBP and HP Printer then connected to Hub 1.5 with wifi.
    HDD connected to Airport with USB cable.
    Everything was working fine until I ran the ethernet cable to the office and connected the Hub 1.5.  It worked fine in the office, wifi connected, I could see the internet and the Airport and the connected HDD.
    However, at this point, the iMac back in the house, which connects to the Airport wifi network, sometimes connects to the internet, sometimes doesn't.  It connected to the Wifi fine, just won't connect to the Internet. It was stopping at the Hub2.0 "Default Gateway" (according to traceroute).  Switching wifi networks on the iMac (e.g. Airport 2.5Ghz to Airport 5GHz, or Airport to FON or Airport to the Office Wifi) fixes the internet connection problem, until next time I try to connect.
    This only affects the iMac.  The MBPs, iPhones etc have no problems connecting to wither wifi or the Internet...
    I figured it must be an IP addressing problem due to the Hub1.5 conflicting with the IP address range configured for the Hub2.0, so I tried to re-configure this on the Hub1.5 in the Office.  
    However, to get to the Hub Manager, I had to disconnect the Ehternet cable (otherwise it just went to the Hub2.0 Hub Manager).  Once I did this and reset the Hub1.5 to factory settings, I could see the Hub1.5 Manager.  However, if I click on Advanced and enter the password (after restting it with the SN) I can't see any of the advances menu options in the left hand panel (e.g. IP Addresses).  So I can't change the IP address range.
    Any ideas how I can get to see the IP Address options on the Hub1.5?
    I also tried setting a static IP address on the iMAC, but it won't let me - just says IP address already in use when I try to change it to one in the range set on the Hub2.
    Worse thing is, now that I've reset the Hub1.5, the Internet connection keeps dropping on that as well now.  It works fine for a few minutes then drops and I have to turn wifi off and on again, or disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable to get the Internet to connect again, then it drops after a few minutes.
    So, I've gone from the iMac not working to the iMac and the office hub1.5 not working properly, and all I've really done is reset the hub1.5 to factory settings...
    Shall I just get rid of the 1.5 and buy a different wifi router for the office?
    Should I be able to change the IP address range on the 1.5?
    Any other ideas?
    Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried running the TC not in bridge mode?
    In airport utility, instead of selecting bridge mode, select share a public ip address. You will get an advisory warning from the TC but just opt to ignore it.
    This way all of the DHCP is handled by the TC and the HH1.5 and none by the HH2.
    Otherwise a replacement for the HH1.5 might be called for - perhaps and airport extreme.

  • Airport Express 802.11n keeps disconnecting Airplay with iPhone and Macbook Air

    I purchased this Airport Express on Jan 7, 2012. It was working fine.
    I used it for airplay only to play my itunes music to my speakers. My speakers are connected to an amplifier that is inturn connected to the Airport Express via an optical cable. I have not use it with a printer. I do not use it as a wifi to access the internet.
    It was working fine until about a month or so ago when after playing a few songs it would disconnect. Now after less than 2-3mins it would disconnect. When I try to manually reconnect with my iPhone or Macbook Air, it would say that is unable to connect to the Airport.
    If I keep trying, eventually it will connect and then after 2-3 mins it would cut off again. The amber light would show contineously.
    I am at wits end. I have not changed the arrangement at all since Jan. What could have happened?
    About a month ago there were an update to Airport Utility. I ran that update. Could that be the problem?
    I'd appreciate if someone could help me. The warranty will run out a less than a month. How timely isn't it.
    Is the router broken. If so why does it still allow me to use Airplay but only for a few minutes (less than a song)?
    Thanks in advance for any help and or advice.
    Mike

    Unfortunately there could be any number of possible causes. Your router could be at fault, or the Express, or something else that is affecting both. To troubleshoot this issue you would have to eliminate or significantly reduce one or more of these possibilities.
    Try performing a "hard reset" of the Express and configure it anew. Sometimes an internal parameter becomes corrupted that only a "hard reset" can fix.
    The following is an excerpt from:
    Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
    Hard reset
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
    Release the button, and the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule will hard reset.
    ... but read the entire document to ensure you do it correctly. An Express that has been "hard reset" will create an open network with the name "Apple Network nnnnnn" where nnnnnn = the last few digits of its MAC address.
    If you do not see the network with that name, the "hard reset" did not take effect, which will happen if you do not hold its little reset button long enough. In that case do it again.
    Following the "hard reset", reconfigure your Express.
    Failing that, position the Express closer to your wireless router. This may not be a practicable long term solution for you but it will minimize the possibility that wireless interference is causing the problem.
    Consider substituting another router, to eliminate that as the cause.
    Finally, you could take your Express to Apple who may simply offer you an exchanged unit. It will most likely operate perfectly well for them so you will not be able to demonstrate this failure mode, but you can explain you did all that I suggested above without success.

  • Constant & erratic "Page Load Error" with Safari and Firefox

    A week or two ago, I started getting constant "Page Load Errors" ('this page cannot be found', etc) when browsing with either Safari or Firefox. These are not dead sites that time out, but are very live (and cannot be summoned no matter how many times refresh)!
    Something is wrong on my computer's end: I have strong wireless, have tried connecting with ethernet, and have used a different network. All of these produce the same result, where about half of the sites I try to connect to are instantly declared as dead by any browser I use.
    I am not using any firewall, and have emptied both browser's caches.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem. It only happens at home over my DSL connection. Here is what I have tried and the results.
    This really started bothering me since I upgraded to a recent Macbook Pro. I tried my original MBP with Leopard and found it doing the same thing. I ended up testing from my G4 and it works fine. The problem occurs over wireless and wired. I tried changing my MTU size with no change. I thought it was DNS but changed to other DNS and it didn't make a difference. Happens in Safari and Firefox. I am thinking it has an effect on iTune store also. The problem goes away when I VPN in to work, comes back when I close the VPN.
    Just tonight I installed an clean 10.5 Leopard on my original MBP. Safari works perfectly. Instead of updating to 10.5.6, I download the 10.5.5 update. After updating the problem reappeared.
    Again, my G4 with latest Tiger update work fine and both Macbook Pros with the latest Leopard have a problem over my DLS connection. They work perfectly fine at work and other locations.

  • WIFI Disconnecting everytime with N86 version 30.0...

    Nokia N86 model
    Currently using software version: 30.009
    After connecting to home WI-FI, it keeps on disconnecting every time.
    Has anyone faced the same problem with the latest version.
    whatever application i uses with my WIFI connection, it disconnect immediately say 1 0r 2mins maxs.

    This sounds like the same issue which i had after upgrading firmware in my N97 mini.
    Solution was to disable bluetooth, obviously bluetooth and wlan did interfere.
    After that i got stable connection.
    When i am done with wlan, i enable bluetooth again.
    Give it a try, and report back if it did work for you...

  • Strange intermittent internet disconnect-reconnect... and another question.

    This has happened twice now and is fixed with a restart, but I'd like to know if I have faulty hardware. What happens is that I'll open my Macbook from sleeping and the internet will disconnect for 2 seconds, reconnect for 2 seconds, disconnect for 2 seconds, reconnect, repeat. This will continue UNTIL I restart the computer.
    I know it's not my internet, because it has NEVER happened to another computer in my house. I'm wondering if my Airport isn't causing issues with it...
    I also have serious issues with BOTH of my browsers freezing when I open from sleep. Like the computer takes a few minutes to figure out what it was doing and won't let me switch windows, open a new link or even click on the URL bar. I often have to Force Quit Safari or Firefox (whichever I'm using at the time) and restart them before they work. So now I'm thinking RAM issue?
    I can't bring send thing in till middle of May do to daily use for college, but I can bring it to a Genius Bar (which I'll probably do next week) and hope they can fix it in store. I'm just hoping you can provide some insight here. Help! Should I add some more RAM.. or just have it replaced?

    SA - Click on over to the MacBook forum in Apple/Support/Discussions. You will find many threads about MacBooks intermittently dropping connection. I did not see any mention of this happening with Wake Up or Restart, but that might be related. Looks like the new hardware/software combo is too sensitive or gets confused by other networks.
    No definitive solutions. Some router/Mac reconfigure may make a difference - fixed channel instead of automatic may help if you can choose one different from your neighbors' networks, and maybe different encryption will help.
    If it's a brand new book, you may be able to exchange and hope the next one does not have the problem.

  • After downloading an app from the app store, all net access is lost until wifi disconnect/reconnect

    Hi everyone,
    iPhone 4s upgraded to ios 6.  After downloading an app, any app, from the apps store, I lose all internet connectivity.  If I then disconnect and reconnect to wifi, I regain internet access until I go to the app store again.  I've tried just about everything I can think of, reset network connections, full restore back to ios 6 then reinstall all apps, still occurs. 
    Ideas?

    If you're not able to do backups, that is likely a separate issue and something that you need to resolve soon. This isn't normal, so try to get that fixed before you have more severe data loss.
    Why downloading an app blows away your other apps is a mystery, but if you have no backups on your computer then re-syncing would re-load the "missing" apps, but no data to restore so that's why you lost it. The app data might be somewhere on the phone, but this is not accessible since the phone was designed to sync and backup to iTunes. Since that isn't working, you really don't have any recourse to get the app data back.
    I would recommend searching the forum as to why you can't do a backup, and if you can't find answers then start another thread on that topic.

  • About the wifi disconnection problem that me and many of you have...

    Before making a hasty post on this new chic discussions forum I went through the recent activity and found many of you randomly loose connectivity to their wifi routers. I recent bought a Belkin Surf 802.11n router and have been having similar problems. The Airport icon would show connectivity but safari would fail to load pages, including the router's gui page.
    Upon reconnection things would work fine.
    I found something common among all the times this happened to me. My iPhone 3G was placed just next to my MacBook pro, about 1 feet away, on the desk whenever this happened. also, it comes across the path of the MacBook pro and the router.
    I'm wondering if this is a problem relating to signal interference. interestingly, the old router was a/b/g and the new is a/b/g/n and the iPhone 3g is only up till g. so it could possibly me a signal mix up of the two devices, MacBook  on n and iPhone 3g on g.
    has anyone of u too had a wifi device nearby when this happened, particularly an iPhone 3g.
    also, if this problem is because of something else, please tell me what it is and what's the solution, if u know.
    thanks.

    Hi Macybean,
    Please continue your other thread here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15051193
    You obviously haven't found a solution yet, and didn't add that detail there.  It is better to finish one thread, get it answered completely, than interrupt another person's with a "me too" especially if there are numerous causes that could possibly cause the same issue.  It is harder to isolate issues, if they are melded in the same thread.  Now if you have a solution you can offer, that's fine.
    Thank you.

  • Home wifi connection impossible with iPhone 4S

    Hello, my iPhone 4S connects to all wifi (workplace, Xfinity free wifi) but refuses to connect to my home wireless wifi. it says "impossible to connect". I don't understand because I haven't changed anything and my other devices work perfectly well. Please can some help me out?

    reboot your router.

  • Why does my home wifi not work with my apple products

    my computer, ipad, and ipod all say that when i connect to my house wifi there is no internet connection yet when i try to connect my xbox and galaxy phone the wifi works just fine i called the wireless company and they told me that the router is working fine i habe no idea weather there is some sort of setting that i can change on the router or on my devices but if there is can someone help it would be much obliged

    Check the time and date on your computer and make sure it's accurate.
    What happens sometimes if your data and time are off, you get a DCHP lease for the IP address from the router to connect, then it quickly expires, making it appear you connect for a second and then get cut off.
    The Mac gets it's time from Apple servers, however if it's not connecting, then it can't update the time and date.
    Hopefully this will resolve your issue.
