Help Files Streaming Issues through WIFI

Just got the S3 couple days ago and I have a problem with WIFI Streaming at home.

Previously, I have been using the Transformer to stream large video files over wifi without having any issues.

On the S3, I have tried ES File, and File manager to stream videos and transfer files that are over 500MB. Streaming stopped at various times and transferring large files always stopped at some point and eventually crashed the transfer. I don't know what's the issue is and WIFI seems to be stable and I never had an issue in regards to losing connection.

When the video is played, it would load to certain point, and then when the video reached that point, it would stopped.

This happened on MX Player and the default video player.

No problem at all when the same video is played from internal memory.

Transferring and streaming small files such as MP3 seems to be ok.

WIFI is set to always on during sleep.

I even tried to *#0011# method to turn off WIFI power save mode.

Anyone knows what the issue is?

THANK YOU!
 
Have you updated the firmware?

There is an issue with the latest Firmware that means that the connectivity drops intermittently even when the wifi is connected.

I had to take my phone back (and thus get the previous firmware) in order to have a working phone.

Samsung say they are working on it!
