Question

Samsung 4.4.2 Wifi Connectivity Issues

Apr 3, 2015 1:43AM PDT

Any idea about how to fix this?

I got a Samsung Mega to replace my Note 2, as it crapped out a few weeks ago.
It works great, except for Wifi.
4.4.2 Kitkat

When I reboot, it will connect to my home router, but will still not allow Internet access most of the time.
Without rebooting, it won't even recognize the network when scanning.

It's also sketchy with public networks as well.

I've tried switching to "Static" from DHCP
I've tried turning off wifi Power Save mode by dialing *#0011# and selecting Wifi option.

I might try this:
