[SOLVED] WiFi issues on Mesh Network since Oct official Patch - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Model SM-G925F (UK)
Android V 7.0
Build NRD90M.G925FXXU5EQI8
Android security Patch Level 1 October 2017
My wife just updated her s6 edge to the latest patch from Samsung (Oct 1 security patch), and now she cannot move around within my home mesh network.
Symptom 1 :
S6 Device - Turn On WiFi - Connect to WiFi (WiFi1 - a mesh network) - All OK
Move location - Device switches to closest node in WiFi1 mesh network - Device disconnects from WiFi1 with Authentication Error - Toggle s6 WiFi off/on - device connects to nearest node on WiFi1 - All OK.
Symptom 2 :
Move location - Device switches to closest node in WiFi1 mesh network - Device disconnects from WiFi1 with Authentication Error - Try to connect to different wifi network (WiFi2 - a std non-mesh wifi) - Device errors with authentication error - Toggle wifi off/on - device connects to WiFi2 - All OK
At no point do I have to re-enter passwords for either wifi. The S6 device was working on the mesh network before the latest update. Whatever is happening is killing wifi on the device, as I have to toggle it off/on in order to connect to any wifi network once it has failed.
I have factory reset the device, with no change in behavior. I suspect this has to do with the patch for the WPA2 vulnerability....
Any Ideas?

Android security Patch Level 1 October 2017
I am having this same issuebut on non-mesh wifi. Both my wife and I have S6 edge phones that are exhibiting the same issues. We do not have to move for the issue to occur. It will connect for a very short amount of time, then disconnect and say "Authentication Error Occurred." At a minimum it requires turning wifi on and off. I continued to have problems at my office as well. I am also suspecting the KRACK patch is the culprit. No other devices in my house appear to be having any issues.
I am currently testing a wifi solution from an old form at my office which appears to be working: Turn off Bluetooth... I turned off my Bluetooth and then i was able to successfully connect to the network. I have since turned Bluetooth back on and am still connected while moving between Access Points in my building. I have not connected to any Bluetooth devices since I originally turned Bluetooth off.
I'm not at a point where I would claim this resolves the issue. Could you try turning off your Bluetooth and see if you see improvement as well? Either way, I still think this is caused by the most recent security patches.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Toggling Bluetooth had no impact with the issue.
However, just be clear I am not experiencing any issues connected to my non-mesh guest 2.4ghz wifi. Once connected to this std wifi the connection persists and never drops.
In my own research I seem to remember one of the reasons behind issues for symptoms similar to yours, was caused by running the same SSID for both 5ghz and 2.4ghz networks, you could try renaming one if indeed you have this setup...
Thanks Again

I am having the same issue with a normal S6 after the 11/2 Verizon update. I have an orbi mesh system and each time the phone comes out of sleep it gives the authentication error. If I reset the wifi I can connect until the next time. Traveling between nodes can also cause it to start throwing the authentication error.

Following up, toggling Bluetooth doesn't seem to actually fix it. Just a coincidence I guess. I am still having issues but not as bad as they initially were. It seems to be most affected by moving around.

I know I am not using a mesh network and you mentioned switching nodes seems to cause your problem. My router does beam-forming and automatically switches between 2.4ghz and 5ghz based on signal strength. I'm wondering if its a related issue and switching frequencies is behaving similar to yours when you switch nodes.

Interesting... My mesh system uses both frequencies also, and this may be a similar cause, although under different circumstances.
I have a remote support session scheduled with Samsung tomorrow evening. I'll update the thread with anything of value that transpires.
Thanks

Just to update the thread....
Had a call with Samsung support, which was a bust. I spoke with a pleasant but technically challenged individual, whom informed me that my issue was because the wifi password was wrong, and that was all it could possibly be. When I asked her to explain how it could possibly be a password problem, she could not, and when I asked her if she understood the difference between a std wifi and a mesh wifi she did not. I may as well of talked to a chat bot.
I am now left with the choice of taking it to a Samsung repair center, living with the problem, or flashing the phone to a different rom (as this is my wife's phone its still locked and stocked so I do not want to open that can of worms unless absolutely necessary).
I am going to try 1 more time to get through to a technically competent person at Samsung, but I do not hold out much hope - maybe the next security update will solve the problem. I may see if I can find a stock rom file version released before the oct update, and downgrade.... Sigh...

Man that sucks they set you up with someone like that, thanks for keeping us informed of whats going on.

I'm experiencing similar issues with a Verizon Galaxy S6 edge. I just got the October patch a week ago and it has been a pain for several days with authentication errors. My wifi at home is a Deco Mesh, at the office we have a Netgear Nighthawk. So, problems with both mesh and std wifi networks. I did find a patch for the Nighthawk and that seems ok so far, updated about 30mins ago.
I did a factory reset on the phone using the Verizon Software upgrade assistant's repair option and that didn't fix anything with this. I think my battery is draining for the attempts to connect and scanning wifi. Other than that, my only solution has been to restart the phone. It connects before I even unlock the phone after restart which made me think maybe it was a service that was causing the issue once running but I could understand that if I walked out of the mesh node into another node as well. For the office, I would just look down and find that I was disconnected so I'm not sure when that was happening.
Would love to hear if anyone else has a solution.
Thanks!

I'm starting to see more/similar instances of this cropping up over on the S6 sub reddit....
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/7c989b/wifi_wont_reconnect/
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/7cbd4h/galaxy_s6_on_fw_70_now_has_wifi_issues/

Same here. S6 refuses to connect to Orbi since this last samsung update on November 2nd. And i agree...battery life is being wasted along with the wifi dropping constantly. Come on Samsung....FIX THIS ISSUE!

Same issue, very frustrating. AT&T Galaxy S6. Orbi at home and work has mesh wifi (I believe) and getting authentication error there too as well. Battery is like 40% after 2 hours off of charge. Major issue.

Exactly same problem here. S6 Edge, seen the same thing on Note 2. Happens on Orbi mesh and non mesh router at work. All happened with the latest patch.

Small Update:
Samsung (after a little back and forth) have passed this issue onto the development team. Who knows what will happen next.
Can I encourage you all to report the issue to Samsung and point them to this thread, the more reports, the more likely we will get a positive response.
Thanks

I confirm the issue on GALAXY S6 FLAT, italian no-brand version, after the october update.

I created a thread here on the Samsung site: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...s-after-October-2017-update/m-p/213559#M39427

Same issue on Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. Started happening after the October security patch. Also posted on Samsung's forums.

Same issue for me on S6 edge, ever since Oct 2017 security patch. Wifi drops, "authentication error occurred" , phone gets hot and MASSIVE battery drain until wifi turned off. Only temporarily fixed by flicking wifi off and on again, but error will come back again after a short while.

Same for Galaxy S6 (xeo) after last software update. I'm using Mikrotik solution.

I have an s6, and an s7 (for work) the problem is only with the s6. Very frustrating, never know if i'm connected or not.

[Q] Wi-Fi Dropping #UK

I'm getting often wi-fi drop outs throughout the day and the only way to fix it is by restarting the router?!
Restarting the phone doesn't work
Turning off/on the wi-fi doesn't work
Switching bands doesn't work
yet it still allows connection to BTFON/BT OPENZONE? But won't connect to my broadband.
It's kind of annoying, because on the status bar it shows that it's still on wifi but going into settings and turning it off/on then shows it's not working. As it won't connect to the internet obviously.
Anybody else getting this? Any fixes?!
Thanks.
I have an issue where it just briefly drops the connection and reconneca, sometimes it is connected but can't access internet unless I cycle wifi.
I am on the Optus, Australia S3.
I have tried it on both my access points, it can't sustain a Skype call-keeps choking up-I am hoping a new kernel or custom ROM may help-tried Omega, but had barely any phone signal.
I have sleep set to never, have tried 2.4GHz only....a bit annoying, but Ireckon it should be sorted soon. It is the only issue I have.

Try changing the security type of your router. It's often better to pub less encrypted seucurity. For instance try removing security completely for a few min and see if the problem carrys one. Then it means the problem is from the security of your router and then change the type of security to something different than it was before and should fix it. good luck

Hmmm i just changed it from WPA2 only too WPA & WPA2.. seems to be working at the moment.
I'll report back later.
Is it a bug that it doesn't support WPA2 or something?

My S3 has no problems with my O2 wireless access point (provided by BeThere), but I'm using WPA/WPA2 rather than WPA2
You are in UK as well, are you on Orange and using the "Your Wifi" app to manage the access to free BT hotspots?
No wifi issue get it exchanged.

Oh No it's not a bug! Some times different routers are not well at making a steady connections with certain devices through high encryptions. As you remarked the problem is not an issue incase of connecting to BTOpenzone and yes pretty much. This problem can often be solved without the need of even purchasing a new router. Simply head over to your router's setting page (should be something like 192.168.xxxxxx) then see if it's possible to upgrade your router's firmware.
See this link, maybe it will give you an idea of what I'm taking about

I'm assuming you're using a bt homehub of some sort?
I'm using a bt homehub 3 and I've been getting constant drop outs when downloading files over wifi.
I tried a lot of different fixes and was clsoe to throwing the phone out of the window lol
What seems to have solved the drop outs for me is using wpa instead of wpa2.
Try a factory reset?
I'm also on a BT Homehub and i haven't had a single problem, i did a factory reset as soon as i got the phone to prevent any issues.

Is it a android safety feature or is it a faulty Galaxy J7 duos?

Hello to the forums.
I encounter a weird (for me) problem with the wifi function on the
SM-J700F
Android 5.1.1
J700FXXU1AOJ2
(afaik: it's the latest, that got out)
Every now and then I check in wifi networks, who is logged in.
If I do it from the computer, with
Soft perfect Wifi Guard
or from another Android device, with
Fing
the result is always the same:
The J7 is disconnecting.
And during the time, the wifi guard or fing is looking for other devices, trying to reconnect. But can't
But as soon the tracing software has finished the job:
Connected again!
That is actually the reason, thinking of a new(ish?) android feature.
Or maybe Knox?
Phone was and is out of the box. No funny stuff loaded!
Can you guys confirm?
Or tell me, that I'm nuts?
Help is much appreciated
Thanks
I hate Usernames
Most likely wifi mess around this place
Hi, I apologyze for the weird topic.
I'm a guest here, and it looks like, that over 20 2.4G wifi router are working in this area (inSSIDer), over 10 with 2 channel/40Mhz configuration.
All Channels are in use.
But still the J7 is the only phone, which is disconnecting, in case fing is searching the wifi.
I asked some other androids, around, but there was no such behavior on them.
The J7 still has the newest firmware on it.
I'm sorry for disturbing.
See ya!
Guys if your wifi is disconnecting than turn of smart network switch in wifi settings
-Solved-
Thanks, I just found a "Turn the WiFi saving mode off" hint in the net.
The switch seems to be under *#0011#, not in the wifi settings.
The J7 now stays stabil connected, even in the (faulty?) wifi mess around my actual location.
And gets listed in a network-device search, too.
Again, thank you and sorry!

6.0 wifi issue ideas, thoughts and workarounds

Hey everyone, I wanted to put together a thread focusing on wifi issues of different variety and what we can do to potentially fix or workaround the main issues
I personally have been working on a solution for the discrepancy that disallows me to connect to my enterprise wifi at work, lollipop and previous versions connect just fine. So far ive found this issue. May not be easiest nor even possible for some of the issues some of us are having, but i think its worth working towards solutions.

What wifi issues? You might need nrw router.
I was able to connect via guest, then they had lock it due to bandwidth consumption. I have password since im a supervisor and my other phone (5.1.1) connects just fine. The nexus says saved, but when i click connect nothing, doesnt say obtaining ip or authenticating. Credentials are correct and connected before to same network without lock

Does your nexus connect fine to other wireless networks? How can you blame it on the device instead of going and fixing your work network settings instead? There are no wifi issues. Call an IT guy and he will fix your router.

Interesting, I just read through a lot (more than I can believe) of that issue log. It sounds like its technically not a Google/Android 6.0 problem even though the problem arose with the upgrade to 6.0. Have you considered doing what Nick suggested and reaching out to your enterprise IT administrators at work to see if they can or plan to do the necessary updates?

Yeah it connects to others but all devices lollipop and older including iphone and blackberry connect fine. And its known that android m has issues connecting to some wifi that works fine with all other devices. If you do a quick search youll see basically all 6.0 devices (nexus 6, etc) have same issues once updated to 6.0 (hit or miss depends on network they try to connect to, but same story just fine before update). The IT dept are not going to change settings on their network that works fine with 99.9% devices that people have there, since im only one so far with a 6.0 device (IT request MAC address when you get pass) it obviously is some sort of security policy within the os or something of that nature

Yeah, they are hesitant to change what works for almost everyone that connects to it. Also i think itd be a good thing to work on since most IT admin wont change for the very few with newer devices
On a side note i do feel like its more or less a cop out of them to claim its not 6.0 fault because when push comes to shove it works fine but once 6.0 it doesn't and nothing changed on the network
When I had my Nexus 5X, I had issues connecting to WiFi at home until I used the Network Settings Reset option under Settings > Backup and Reset. I think this issue came from the restore of settings during initial setup. Possibly worth a try.
Still, the issue I'm running into now is that my 6P only connects to one of the two routers at home. I have both broadcasting the same SSID though they're different brands and one's an older G router. On my Moto X running 5.1, the phone would connect to the strongest signal. Seems the 6P will only connect to one and never connect to the other. I've had the phone "forget" that one and connected to the other and then it refused to connect to the original. Very odd.
My point in saying this is that I wonder if there's a similar issue occurring in the OP's office. Though the same SSID is being broadcast, its as if the phone remembers the MAC address of the specific router it originally connected to and refuses to connect to any others. Just a thought.

Tell the IT dept to upgrade their radius auth
I'm also having WiFi connection issues with eduroam (an often used protocol in UK universities) amongst other including my home dual band ac network. It locks out and can only be resolved by a reboot, which then takes 30-60 seconds to power off. Not normal or 'just an admin' issue. It seems to be software related as it is not constant nor predictable (ie it's not in certain areas and a reboot always reconnects). I'm unconvinced by the 'speak to your network admin' argument as it is neither useful or realistic and incompatible on my current patterns of usage or the issues being reported more widely.
My 6p works fine on my wi-fi router at home, but when I go over to my son's house, I have to go into Advanced Wi-Fi options and change the frequency band from automatic to 2.4 GHz only. Then I have to cycle my wi-fi off and back on. Then it will work on his router. Otherwise, it with keep trying to connect and fail every time.

Yeah, these are the issues (including the issue im having) that im talking about. Theres clearly issues with wifi on 6.0. Its not an issue with the hardware, nor is the solution "buy a new router" or "must be the settings on your companys network" granted most people can connect everywhere they've tried but if they tried where we cant connect or have issues they'd have same problem. Im thinking its a problem due to security policies or something along those lines but we should be able to alter, remove, or opt out of them at our own risk. Just thinking out loud.
Which build are you on? Mine ends in k. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3248499

LOS 14 phone has started to kill router on IP lease renewal (I think)

Originally posted in device specific forum, but no answers there. I'll edit that post as soon as this has a URL.
OK - I use LOS 14 which has been more or less fine ( a few documented niggles on the thread, but OK up to now)
About two weeks ago, without any obvious changes my WiFi locks the entire router - resulting in a router reset. Router is a "TP Linke AC750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router"
I did initially think this was triggered by the IP lease expiry, but set IP addresses or maxing out the lease time didn't seem to work. But it does seem to occur when the phone reconnects
Edit - the more I look at this the more I think it is triggered by lease renewal, but fixed IP address fails to resolve!
I have increased the log settings - see screen shot - with "network_selection_disabled_association_rejection= 3"
Also, in the Logs there is WiFiQualifiedNetowrkSelector: <ssid>: <mac of router> is on blacklist
Looking around the net this error seems to be down to the phone blacklisting the router due to poor connections - but I didn't even leave the house today and it hit
I've tried lots of tweaks to WiFi, keeping it on, keeping it off. I have now just moved my Routers channel to a less busy one - but I have no idea what is causing it.
Edit - channel move and width reduction didn't do anything.
I have removed all the apps that I can recall installing just before this happened.
I have "forgotten" connection and made it again
ROM is as it is and was stable for months before this happened - Router firmware is up to date and went through factory reset - can't do that for phone for a week as it is my key generator for 2 factor authentication to work network and if I zap phone you can bet work will need remote access before next week!
Ideas anyone?
Cheers
Eserim
OK this report on Chromecasts killing Routers - is so similar to what I see, plus the timing of others with the issue match my timing, I am thinkiong this was the cause

Lost wifi after Oreo 8.0 update

Tab S3 worked well on 7.x. Lost wifi completely address 8.0 update. Tried all the recommended forget connection, reset network, full wipe after ota . When all that failed I flashed the full 8.0 with Odin. Still had no wifi. Repeated all those reset steps again with no joy.
Strange part is the same situation occurred with my LG V30. Worked well on 7.x, no more wifi after ota to 8.0. Repeated the resets and full flash series again but still won't connect.
My Razer Phone and One Plus 6 phones connected to the same wifi out of the box (with 8.0?), ota'd to 8.1 and have been solid since.
Am I stuck waiting for Tab 3 / V30 flashable (stock) files to 8.1?
You can download some network tools from the play store. See if they help you pinpoint what is going on. You don't happen to have MAC address filtering turned on the router? Though doubt your MAC address would change but I did read an article where Apple changed the MAC Address in their iPhones after it was discovered the government tracked people by MAC address. So it is possible it changed. See if you can hit a public WiFi (library, coffee shop, etc) and get it to connect there? Or a neighbor's network?

Just set the hotspot on one of the working devices and see if you can connect to it.
Is the wifi actually enabled?
I had the same problem happened to my Tab S3 a few days ago after I upgraded to Oreo (8.0) I could connect to WIFI but it says I have no internet connection. I have tried different routers and at different places and still the same problem. Strangely, I can connect to internet from time to time (intermittently) despite my Tab S3 giving an exclamation mark on the WIFI signal and warned me I have no internet access. I have tried resetting network, factory reset no less than 5 times, and also tried connecting at different places. I have read somewhere that by changing the time on the unit fixed the problem for quite some people, but didn't work for me. I did not root my tablet, so now I'm stuck looking for solutions.
update 2018.12.05: there was a new patch out (Oct. 2018), so I updated my S3 and now it still doesn't see internet even after connecting to WIFI. I tried resetting and now I can't even pass the Agree to Terms & Conditions part as it still says I have no internet. Before the patch update I could at least access internet even though tab S3 thinks I am not connected to internet. Guess I have to try to root it or throw away the tablet.

No have not rooted. All stock now. If all else fails, I guess I will have to try to root and flash ROM and see if my WIFI can come alive again.
