I have a TMO Note 5 came from an S5 and the Wifi seems to not hang on as well for me, regular use is fine, but too weak for the wifi calling. The s5 didn't seem to have the issue. I'm going to hit up tech support and see if maybe it's just my Note 5. (I have seen 2 identical phones side by side but different signal strengths). It's only the 5Ghz though and doesn't matter which Channel.

Yes, the range, signal quality actuallay spped of wifi strength was AWFUL when I first got my phone, but a few updates to lolipop and it was working exccellent. Good wifi signal, speed and no drop out. However, Since I've been on Marshmallow, I almost see no performance change. That could be good or bad because I was expecting more on the more recent updates after Marshmallow. I have no complaints here cause I don't use wifi when I'm at work but wifi is awesome at home, the gym, moms house and every where in between. How can a big cell phone company make a phone that has terrible wifi signal strength and speed?

I've mainly been using LTE/4G as I'm on an Unlimited data plan but when I connect to WiFi the speeds are awesome and my internet speed is 100mbps and I get around 70-80mbps via WiFi on my Note 5. Strength is great also where I'm still connected at the end of the house compared to my dad's iPhone.

Nice to have an unlimited data plan, I just joined verizon a little too late to be grandfathered in. But it's nice to see the Juggernaught 5 is an amazing and fast phone
