I’ve rooted my Sam GT-N5110 with GALAXY NOTE 8.0 TOOLKIT V1.1 and every seems to be fine included fact that my device connects to WiFi. I have dual band router so I connect to 5 GHz band but after I had rooted my device I noticed that although seems to be connected it scans WiFi network every 10-15 seconds. Is it normal? What is possible problem/reason for that behavior?

I have been using Note 2 N7100 running 4.1.1 for a week now but only a couple of days ago started experiencing WiFi connectivity issue at home. The problem I have is it would lose Internet connection and then disconnects from my wifi router. When I opened the wifi menu it says my router is not in range. Turned off wifi and then on again and it connected just fine. However, after a while I lose Internet connection again and then router connection as well. In addition, my PC and other mobile devices started having connection issues. So, I restart my router and everything seems to work normal again until I turn on wifi on my Note 2. The problem reoccured again until I decided to turn off wifi on my Note 2 and so far my wifi connection is stable. I did try to use static IP and for a moment it seemed to work fine yesterday but today it messed up again right after I got home and turned on wifi on my Note 2. I also reset my router to factory setting yesterday and I don't want to reset every day.
I remembered that I did a software update at work on my Note 2 two days ago but it's an update from Samsung. I forgot what the update was for. Is there any chance to undo this update just in case it caused the wifi problem but without having to root the phone?
try to add the ip and mac address of your note 2 into the router.
I got a Tab S 10.5 a few weeks ago as a replacement for my Nexus 10. Overall, I feel like the Tab S is head and shoulders above the Nexus - but I've had some strange issues. I've had the wifi signal intermittently stop responding - it seems to be more prevalent on my 5GHz network using 802.11ac speeds but I've experienced it at standard 2.4GHz connections as well.
I haven't rooted the tablet yet. I thought at first it might be my wireless network as I hadn't used any other devices that were 'ac' capable even though I have a pair of Netgear R6300V2 routers bridged across my home. However, these wifi signal dropouts persist only on the Tab S - if I turn wifi off, then back on, connectivity is restored. My Galaxy S4, Chromecast, PC, DVR, all stay online just fine.
Has anyone else had this issue? I got my Tab S with the Samsung Book Cover - which I love, but it almost seems like it happens when I hold the Tab a certain way.
Thanks for anyone who can give any feedback.

Did you connect your Tab S with your S4 through SideSync at one point?
Yes, I have used Sidesync. I disabled remote notifications, but occasionally still get a pop-up that remote notifications are enabled even if I haven't used sidesync in days.

I too suffered wifi drop-out and Bluetooth issues. Following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/heads-sidesync-bt-wi-fi-bug-t2828911) I realized that there is a problem with SideSync. Even when not connected it sitll tries to communicate with the tablet and affects the wireless components. I removed Sidesync from my Note II and clear the data from SideSync on the tablet and for the past week I have not ahd any issue with Wifi or Bluetooth.
Thanks. Side Sync Sux.
Brilliant. Thanks. I was having a big problem with 2.4ghz wifi. I though there must have been some interference. 5g was fine. Tried chaining channel and all sorts. Would have thought it was my router but I have two with same prob just on 2.4ghz. It was happening to my phone and tablet, but then noticed only when the table was connected to wifi. Just disabled Side Sync and now the wifi is blazing.
My N7100 won't stay connected to my home wifi network, even though I'm 6 feet from the router. I connect manually and it will connect, but when I turn on the screen a few minutes later it says that it has been disconnected from wifi. I recently downloaded the OTA 4.4.2 update - could this be causing the problem?
Hello, I've a problem with my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Wifi.
Every now and then (usually 1h) my wifi disconnects from the wifi network and reconnects after about 30 seconds. I had the very same problem with my Nexus 7 2013 and I solved that problem by setting the frequency to 2.4 GHz only.
I tried to do the same with the Samsung tablet but the option is not present under Wi-Fi> advanced.
There's a way to do the same with the samsung tablet?
I'm on KitKat.. Lollipop will bring back that option?
Note:
- the tablet is NOT rooted
- I've no power on the router because I live in university's campus accommodations
- I saw in another post that this app might help: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer&hl=en I would like to not use an app that doesn't explain how it does that kind of things (I use my tablet for work and I've some private data on it)
I am on the June update and ever since I installed a wifi 6 AP from zyxel my S22 drops the wifi connection every few minutes. It either stays omegle connected with about 2mbits or says connected no internet (with the exclamation on wifi symbol)
I tested this behavior on S21, ASUS ROG flow x13 and Intel WIFI Ax200 (PC). All of them are wifi 6 compatible and have no issues connecting.
My 5ghz and 2ghz bands are separate SSIDs, channels are checked and selected to free channels. AP is connected by LAN to router.
This issue doesn't seem to be that uncommon though, it's probably a QS issue or hardware/firmware related...
Should I contact Samsung? Do they offer replacements that are sent before I send mine back? Because I only have one phone atm and I can't reset it without another phone since there's multiple 2FA accounts etc that I would need to transfer first.
Just as an FYI, I work as an IT specialist and I checked everything so far. This issue is not caused by me or my network configuration!
I have this same issue with my new S22 so I don't think it's a problem with your phone. I have TP-Link Omada APs with the same SSID on both bands. All of my other devices work fine, but my S22 couldn't stay connected for more than a couple of minutes. I fixed it by creating a second SSID for 2.4ghz only and connecting my phone to that one. Now it stays connected most of the time. So I guess it's just the 5ghz band that the phone has problems with.
Do you know what chipset your Zyxel AP uses? Looking online, it's likely to be a Qualcomm IPQ8072. My Omadas use IPC8074 chips which are basically identical. Maybe there's some incompatibility between the phone and this chipset? Hopefully it will be fixed in a firmware release for one or the other...
