Note 3 having Wifi issues

Hi all,
I have been having awful Wifi issues with my Note 3, and I've been reading similar reports elsewhere on the web. My bed is less than ten feet from my Wifi router, and yet I regularly get the "connection is unstable" notification and it drops.
I am just a few days outside of the 14 day return period. Is there any way I can swap to a phone with more reliable connectivity?
Thanks!

We appreciate the additional details relating to your device Pfhortune! The next best step would be to complete a hard reset on the device to restore the settings back to the manufacturer recommended functionality. Please keep us posted once this is completed, thanks!

might be lack of sleep but you've lost me there lol
not the first device? the modem, but the HH3 via wifi, I thought it was the HH3 broadcasting the wifi signal and what you connect to?
upped the youtube playing videos to 35, also on wifi, not a single problem, 1 hr, hope I don't get a call tomorrow lol about high usage, all in the name of science!
with the ipad and iphone, normal usage, not seen a single drop in wifi connection, seems to be when the device is being heavily used, with playtube, it converts and downloads the youtube video to play offline on the device
playing seems to be fine, just when downloading when it has a problem

Anyone having wifi issues on the 3gs after updating to 6.1.3?

Recently got rid of an iphone 4 that was having wifi issues after updating to 6.1.3 but wanted to know if any 3gs users are having issues with wif after installing the same update? Currently on 4.3.3

You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Anyone else having wifi issues with ios 5.0.1 update?

i updated a few days ago and have had problems getting wifi connections since. i've read on a few forums that people have also had this problem. anyone on here having the same issue? i now have to be within 3 feet of a router to get even a weak signal. sort it out apple

I have the same problem.
When I update my 3GS to iOS 5.0.1.
After that,I can't not find any wifi signal at the same place.
But before update,there are at least three different signal i can find and use.

APPLE - you have not fixed the WiFi issues

OK, I admit that wifi has improved, bit it's not fixed. WiFi still stalls on loading pages.
Yes it's faster, yes it is more reliable, but after a while, it does still stall. The same fix as before is anwork around, but it's not over yet. Not by a longshot.
My current work around is to forget the network and re-join it. I'm down to twice a day now, not every five minutes, but seeing as my laptop can connect for over a week with out re-booting, this is definitely an Ipad issue.
Come on apple, get your thumb back into the sunlight and fix it once and for all.

I think a distinction between a router dropping connection a an iPAD that cannot maintain connection needs to be drawn.
I have now taken 2 iPADS 3g back with exactly the same problem as in it cannot maintain a connection to the router from a distance of less than 20ft.
I have six different items connected to my router, they are a printer, a nokia phone, 2 laptops, 1 Netbook and for a shortime an iPAD as well as my home pc
NONE of the aforementioned items save for the iPAD have had connection problems to my 14 month old router.
I can connect to my router with the laptops and netbook from my back garden without any problem, the printer remains in the same place which is quite close to the router, the Nokia phone connects anywhere I choose to connect.
The Ipad can connect to my network 20ft from the router but cannot maintain a connection with it dropping out every couple of minutes and when it is connected it is very slow in loading pages. The netbook and the laptops and nokia from the same location report a good signal and upload/download times are fine...
I have changed channels on the router, I've reset and updated the Ipad and rememberd to mess with the brightness but still I cannot maintain a connection.
My router shows that it has been connected to broadband continuously for 5 weeks except when recently rebooting it as per the notion that it would help the iPAD reconnect.
Simply put the iPAD does not perform, it is wholly unreliable where it's wi-fi is concerned and I do not think the latest patch was anything more than a tickle of the signal indicator etc....
Neither do I think that routers should be reset with it changed from wep to wpa as suggested by others. My usual pc is an iMAC5, it has no connection problems, it talks to my router without any problems as do all my other items. There is nothing radical in the hardward used in an iPAD that requires a new router or even for an established router to be reset.

Yosemite 10.10.1 update did not fix my wifi issue, did it fix yours??

The discussion about wifi issues is nothing new since Yosemite came out. Today I installed the latest update (10.10.1) which was to help with wifi issues such as your wifi dropping. I have tried every remedy that has been posted and nothing has worked. I constantly have to re-connect to my wifi network while on my computer. I guess I will sit patiently until this is resolved. I was excited to see the new update but after downloading and installing it, I see that nothing has changed. I have an iMac (2013) and have never had internet issues until I installed Yosemite. I hope the update helps you but it didn't help me.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a secure network on my MB air with OS X Yosemite?
Any ideas?
In the pervious OS version when you create a network on from the WIFI icon on the top of the desktop, there are
1) network name
2) channel
3) type of password
4) key in password.
Now with OS X yosemite, there is only
1) network name
2) channel
When the network is created there is not IP.
I am trying to use "airserver" a third party app to help project my iPad air to my MB air.
I am trying to do this when I am conducting the class and I would like to record my lesson.
Please advise.
My way of getting around this is to use Airport Express and create my own network that link MB air and iPad air.
But i do not want to look like a gadget guys and bring so many hardware to class... haha...
Hope someone have an alternative.
Cheers,
Andy

E5-00 having wifi issues

Hello everybody.
I just bought an E5 and I'm having some trouble connecting to my wifi router. The cellphone connects to my router, and after checking for internet connection, it goes to a blank screen (I think it's supposed to be a webpage) and it doesn't load anything.
Sometime it gaves me an error about "server couldn't respond". At first he wasn't even seeing my router, but then I restarted it and it started to see. Now he connects but won't work. Do you guys know how to fix this?
Thanks!
Solved!

Solved. It just started working out of nothing.

Having wifi issues, can't connecti

Ok here's the issue that I've been having for some time now. We have multiple devices connected into our router: iPhones, macs, Xbox, directv, blu ray etc, All the others devices can connect to our netgear no problem but my phone. I have to turn off the router and back on again to connect. I have tried to reset my network sethings and that hasnt worked as well as I have also tried to forget and rejoin the network. At this point I'll try just about anything to get this to work. Any feedback and ideas would be greatly appreciated

Who was this technical support store? If you want to buy a new phone you'll have to pay full price for it or a subsidized price with a service contract.

Continue to have major problems on iPad air, after downloading latest fix. Wifi keeps searching or freezing or simply crashes, on an internet search. Very slow in opening anything comparable to "dial up"......

Unplug cord from iMac
iPad
Reset all Settings
Reset Network Settings
Hook up iMac and iPad then trust computer
Computer accept iPad
Download Camera Roll pics to iMac
Complete iPad Auto download to iMac in iTunes
Sign on to iTunes
Log on to Wi-Fi
Unplug iPad from iMac and all is good so far after 2 hours.

Having WiFi issues since iOS7

Ever since I upgraded to iOS7 I haven't been able to connect to any WiFi. I've reset my network settings, forgot my home network and tried to reconnect, and I've restarted my phone. Each time is says that it is unable to join the network. Help I need internet! Also I have an iPhone4
Thanks!

If it is only with your home network reboot your router by removing all power from it for about 15 seconds.

I have an iPhone 4 with ios 6 and Im having wifi issues

WHen Im connected to wifi I cannot send or recieve email from any of my email accounts and I cannot connect with KIK messenger. everything else works fine though. ANyone have any thoughts on this ?

You cannot. It is a security feature and there is no workaround.
Restore the iPhone using iTunes and then use your backup to
put your data back on the iPhone.

Not everyone is having Wifi problems

Just wanted to post this to let potential buyers know that not everyone is having WiFi issues.
I'm not saying there's not a problem, enough people have posted an issue to show that there definitely is an issue for some, but not all.
I've tried it at a few different locations on several different networks (both secured and not) and it's worked flawlessly so far.

Mine works flawlessly also with no issues at all except maybe to
go out and buy a screeen protector.
The only extra advice I see that causes it is playing with the brightness.
This is funny because BRIGHTNESS and the going to sleep features are also
problems on regular laptop computers that use ACPI.... When disabling power saving features on a regular laptop/pc then those issues went away.
The hisotry on this was on toshiba and dell laptops and perhaps others.
But in tthose regard either disabling those features or updating the BIOS fix the issues.
