I posted about this earlier, but my wifi keeps randomly loosing internet connection for short periods of time. I get an exclamation mark on wifi symbol on status bar. this issue started after the new update. it is not effecting my galaxy tab or older LG g3. I've been resorting to use the LG g3 for most of my wifi usage. I got the former Samsung flagship expecting no errors or maybe even an update to fix it. it's been over a month.

Swipe from top down to bring up the notifications shade -> press the gear -> wifi -> more -> smart network switch-> off. Newer android phones are set to aggressively switch to mobile data by if the wifi is not reliable, or if signal strength is weak.

Maybe it's an Hardware issue? If it's in warranty ask Samsung support they will fix it.

It was the upgrade that was the issue. Many users including myself have wifi connection difficulties since upgrade. Smart network switching is off.
