Wifi range has been terrible on this phone. I tried messing with my router settings for a while and thought maybe some phones are better than others but i lose my wifi calling too easily so I installed a wifi analyzer app and compared to my moms galaxy S 4g and my laptop. My network and the half dozen networks around me show the the same relative strengths but minus 20 db on the defy. Near or far g or n open or secured its pretty consistent -20 in comparison for each network i can see. I can get full bars of the wifi icon on defy but only with line of sight to the router.
Is this a known defect? If i return this phone is there a good chance that i'll get another one with bad wifi? I don't think there's too many defys left in the store.
Im running stock rom still so i don't think its a software problem.
I've had the phone for about 10 days and I've consistently noticed that my G3 has a much weaker wifi signal than other phones, both at work and at home. At my house about 5 feet away from the router it was registering 1 bar on the 5Ghz network and about 2 or 3 bars on the 2.4 Ghz. Being that close to the router it should be full! The 5Ghz also has problems staying connected. At work where I used to have full bars with my GS4 and other phones and now I only get 1 or 2. While I haven't had the same problem as others with wifi dropping, it is rather annoying that the signal is so much weaker and I have noticed that with the reduced signal strength my connections are slower. I really hope its a software issue and not hardware related. I'm seriously thinking about going to T-Mobile and asking them to look into it.
I'm coming from a HTC Droid DNA, and I've noticed since getting the phone that the 4G and Wifi data connections seem to hiccup when waking the phone. I can't always reproduce it, but I've had the 4G/LTE icon shows up with up/download icons active yet apps hang up on their connections and even speedtest shows poor speeds. It seems as though it sometimes gets better if the phone has been awake/screen on, but that could just be my perception. Overall, it seems that I had better 4G/LTE and Wifi connections with my old phone.
Anyone else have thoughts on poor speeds/reception with their Note 4? Thanks,
Does anybody know a way to improve the signal received from the phone?
The WIFI router it's in the living room, but from my room my LG G Pro only receive 1 bar. I know it's not a problem of the router because I have a Lenovo which gets full bars, and other LG phone who also get full
so must be a problem of my LG G Pro (which is kind of new just 1 year of use)

Which WiFi channel are you using? I had that issue with mine while I was on quite busy channels (basically everything from ch10 to ch13 here) and they stopped when I changed my routers to something lower, ch8 I think.
Also, this phone's antennas tend to be crappy - mine liked dropping LTE in 100% LTE areas and dropping GPS connections where other devices had 10+ satellites locked. WiFi was crappy either way because I'm in area swapped with routers and APs so finding a good channel was a must.
Hey guys.
Purchased it today,and just like every damn Samsung phone and tablet they still haven't fixed wifi strength signal with even such expensive phone.
So I was out of town and from like 7 wifi signals,only 2 were recognized.
And even when it connects the signal is so weak and it often drops.
Now I'm in my room now and like 3 feet away from router and I'm getting around 6.7 MBps speed instead of between 9-10 just like on my good old S7 edge.
I can't believe.
So is it my phone or others have the same issues?
I have never had a single issue regarding wifi signal strenght, I got my note 10+ since Sept 2019
So I came today in city park,sit on bench and turned ON WiFi on this phone.
Damn,it couldn't find nor any fi..ing single network over WiFi.
I rebooted it like 5 times and then it found one network and barely connected to it with very low signal,but in a matter of minutes it droped.
I had near me,Ulefone 5S which is 200 euros phone and it had better WiFi signal and found at least 5 networks,although with very weak signal,but Samsung couldn't find nor one WiFi network.
Because I purchased used phone ofc I can't return it or RMA it.
Am I the only one with this issue,and how do I resolve it?
But if I'm like in a caffee where is near router the signal is okay,but when I'm outdoors I have this issue,means far away from caffee routers.
Ok I did test outdoors compared with S7 edge.
Do you notice any difference,in terms that N10+ has some issues:
So there is one place in city,where there are lots ofi wifi networks but all of them have weak signal.
So I turned ON the phone and WiFi and it didn't find nor any single network,I turned off wifi on again nothing.
Here is the picture of that issue.
I also can not find what model of wifi card is in my phone,to check if it was replaced,so I'm suspicious about that.
Btw I don't have any wifi issues when I am on local coffee shops/bars nor at home.
Just at places where like wifi signal is weak and like there are many networks at that place.
So what is this issue about.
I just went to my balcony and simply this phone doesn't detect as many networks as some chinese phone,N10+ detected just 8 and chinese phone 13.
Then all of the sudden phone goes crazy in like 5-10 min and detects like 12 network.
And though signal strength is nearly the same between phones,I'm getting even 10 % lost in download when I do speed test and compare 2 phones.
so third video,compared to my tablet and s7 edge.
and I will post pics.
Correct me if I am wrong but on tablet and on the phone on the right yeah I see more network recognized but those have weak signal...
N10+ obviously doesn't list those networks for some reason (with weak/no signal).

As you do clearly see on picture N10+ is screwed up recognizing only one wifi network,and my Ulefone Power 5S many...so what is happening I dunno.
Even S7 edge beats it.
I had the same experience on my black note 10+ (4G black model), it would drop the wifi quite often during video playback while my Mate 30 Pro would just continue on the same network. That improved after I reset the network settings and cleared the system cache. I had/have a far more stable connection after that. As for the speed, the Mate 30 Pro would always achieve higher speeds than the note 10 +, no matter how many times I did the tests on both devices. As for the amount of networks it shows, my current note 10+ ( a 4G model but a white one) does only display 1 network at home while the Mate 30 Pro shows 5 or 6 different networks but all of them with a very weak signal strength. Besides them all being password protected I doubt if the Huawei would be able to connect with any of these so whats the point of showing all these weak networks. Maybe that's the reason the note 10 does not show them? Maybe the are filtered?
Both the black and the white are showing similar behavior, I have them both side by side and both are showing the same (single) network being available.
No problem with wifi with my Note 10+ N975F/DS, Good and stable connections.
I do confirm that in the wifi settings only stronger networks are displayed. When using app like WiFi Analyser I can see that there are more networks detected on the Note 10+ than shown in the wifi settings.
I do observe that wifi speeds on Note 10+ are lower than those provided by my Note 8, comparing/measuring side by side on same wifi network.
But in daily use the Note 10+ has sufficient wifi stability and -speed for my normal use, (matching the speed of my Internet connection of 100Mb) including streaming of HD-Video. I do not play online videogames.
Yep for some reason my Note 10+ doesn't show networks with bad wifi signal,dunno if it's just my model or you experience the same.
But for phone such expensive this is unforgivable.
Look here guys,it does recognize wifi networks with wifi analyzer but doesn't filtrate them so I can connect to them,same happens with my S5e tablet.
That's what I already stated...
You can however connect to wifi-networks detected in WiFi Analyzer (WA) by installing a plug-in (just click on the network in WA, it will prompt you what to install..)

Nothing is happening when I click on network.
You need a new director for your videos.
