Anyone else have this problem, and is there a solution?

I have Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A (AT&T)


It means you have low bandwidth. Something on your network is hogging your internet resources. Stopping that porn download usually helps! lol just teasing.


I had this problem when my pc started uploading music to google play. I'm guessing my pc was hogging the network. I bumped my phone up the list of Qos services in my router so it cleared it up. I couldn't find a setting in my phone that would let me turn off the alert.

Me and my phone set constantly like 2 feet away from the router. AND I have the most expensive router out there (ASUS RT-AC68R) No porn on this computer (wife won't let me). . lol . Could it be the xBox 360 in the next room hogging it? It just randomly does it.

I play call of duty ghosts on my 360 online all the time and never had it pop up. I only noticed it when I was uploading 7000 songs to google play. And it only uploads 2 songs at a time!! It's not the routers fault we're getting the warning. It's our download/upload speed overall from our internet provider. The only way it could be a routers fault is if you have your device set low on Qos priority.

I've been looking for my QoS setting in my router, and I can't find it anywhere.

I found it. It was in the Traffic Manager. It was disabled, so i enabled it and set the settings to 150Mbps/30Mbps (Those are my speeds) Sometimes, i do get higher than that though.

Thanks! I added my Galaxy Note 3 and set it for high.

If you keep getting that error, hop on the router and goto the traffic page to see what's hogging your bandwith.
Actually it isnt really an error its just a notification saying that your internet sucks!...lol kidding but to easily remove the notification just click it and check do not show again and then click cancel. Please hit the thanks button!:)

Trust me, My internet connection does not suck. I have one of the highest, if not the highest internet speeds in the United States. 150-180Mbps Download, 30-40Mbps Upload

(both are depending on the time of day. But, my speeds never go below 150/30

Isn't there a wifi issue with the Note 3? I've been getting that message daily for the last week even though no Internet usage is occurring and my speed is very high.

It's very annoying. For example, it can't stay connected to the router at work at all. It never could actually, ever since I purchased this device. It disconnects immediately after telling me it's unstable which it says the second it connects to the router, even though the connection and signal are excellent. It never happened with the Note 2 at either location, home or work.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame your connection, bandwidth usage or router settings. Think back, did this ever occur with your previous device? I bet the answer is no.

I have this problem atleast once a day even though this is the only device on my network and it lasts about ten minutes each time. I cracked out the note 2014 and checked speed while my phone refused to connect because network is slow and wouldn't ya know 12Mbps down 3 up with no probs connecting. Ran into this on the 2014 stock with adblock+ running. Disabled it and no probs since. Wonder if the adblock in xnote is causing this. Anyone else rommed with some type of adblock that is or is not having this problem? Need info to find out. Thanks.

Hmm I am rooted with an ad block in place. I'll disable it when I go to work and see what happens.

I remember getting that annoying message early on, around thanksgiving, so it stopped quite a while ago. I was thinking, WTH, I never got this from my other phones.
 
I've had the sane issue, but it is now fixed. I originally had GPS issues with my Note 3 and finally decided to replace it at an AT&T service center. The replacement I got had a functioning GPS, but was having the same WiFi issues as the OP. I got on the phone with AT&T and Samsung and after 2 more replacement phones, I was about to give up.

In desperation, I called my ISP (Uverse) and they suggested I change my WiFi channel to a fixed channel rather than auto and it worked. It is clearly an issue with the WiFi chip in the newer Note 3's but the workaround worked for me. I set it back to auto channel and it failed again almost immediately. Apparently every time the channel on my router changed, the connection was deemed unstable.
