Have the WiFi issue been acknowledged by Samsung yet

[b0redj0rd]

I'm wondering if the connectivity issues with WiFi 6 have been acknowledged by Samsung yet or not? 

If so, have they stated a fix is on the way? 

If not, I'm going to trade this phone. I can't live with these issues indefinitely.

Hi @b0redj0rd ,

Appreciate it got buried somewhat in the main thread we have on the issue but I can confirm that Dillz2003’s reply from our Support agent is the latest we have on it: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s23-series/s23-ultra-connect-to-wifi-but-no-internet-cons...

I’ll re-post the relevant bit here:

“We're aware of this Wi-Fi connection problem on specific Wi-Fi AP with Galaxy S23 Ultra device. This is caused by a compatibility issue (confirmed occurring on some TPLink AP products). This symptom may appear in various ways such as no internet connection, slow speed or data disconnection. You can resolve the problem with a temporary workaround, and there will be a software release containing a fix. For now, head into Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Tap settings on the connected Wi-Fi AP > Tap ‘Manage router’ > Log in with password on router setting page > ‘Wireless’ menu > Mode > Select ‘802.11a/n/ac mixed’ on the Mode menu > Check if it is selected with right one > Save the setting > Check after reconnecting the Wi-Fi AP. We'd also advise you to check for updates regularly: Settings > Software update > Download and install”

We don't have any info on when that fix will be released.

Thank you very much Ant, I really appreciate that response!

I have read articles from a couple of tech websites that say Samsung has acknowledged it and there was an update already that fixed it for some people, with the full fix on the way. I know that's pretty well what AntS posted already, but just wanted to say that Samsung has also spoken about it officially through the media.

So let's hope it doesn't take too long 😊

I assume it's an issue that doesn't affect every user. My WiFi6 has been running flawlessly up to yet, I've also had it connected to my Tp-link boosters, and still works great then.

I'm not on TP hardware, I'm running a netgear nighthawk rax200 with a mesh extender (eax80, also netgear) and I get issues moving around the house all the time.

This is not just a Wi-Fi 6, ultra, or TP-Link specific issue. I have the same problem on my regular S23 on an older Verizon router, that's not Wi-Fi 6. It is most annoying.
