S7 losing WiFi connection

Guest
I can connect to my WiFi at home at use the web as normal. Then if I put my phone down for longer than a minute or two it disconnects. My "Keep WiFi on during sleep" is set to Always. All of the other WiFi connected devices in my home are working great, and my girlfriend's S7 is not having the same issue. I've restarted my phone, reset the router, forgotten and reentered my wifi password, and cleared the cache partition. Nothing seems to work.
 
Hey Bros ,

Welcome to Android Forums

I Recommend doing these steps and let me know if worked for you , if not we would figure out more .

  • Set DIFFERENT SSIDs for 2.4 and 5GHz bands. I have found that most devices and routers do a terrible job dynamically switching between the networks if each as the same SSID - I think the chipset recognizes the SSID and constantly jumps from one band to the other depending on which had the strongest signal.
  • Disable the bluetooth and wifi SCANNING feature (not bluetooth itself as one of the prior posters cited). This setting is found in "locations" and allows your phone to scan for recognized wifi and bluetooth networks even when wifi or bluetooth is turned off to pinpoint its location. Given that bluetooth only has about a 50 ft range, its puzzling why the bluetooth scanning is even an option.
  • Disable Smart Network Switch (in Wifi Advanced settings) or other similar setting that dynamically switches between Wifi and mobile data depending on network access
  • Type *#0011# and when service mode opens,press the Left hand navigation bar button , Select wifi >And check if wifi power save mode is on or not , if is then disable it.
Thanks
