Okay I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and I keep having WiFi notification pop-up saying connected it's been doing this for the past year and a half. I have done multiple Factory resets with no luck my phone is all stock not rooted and latest available update

If anybody has a solution to this problem could you please tell me that would be much appreciated thank you....

It's supposed to do that, you can try turning it off by going into WiFi settings, use the bottom menu key to select Advanced, and unchecking the notification. On my Note 3, even though that setting is off, I still get a quick popup showing when it connects.

It should only do it once when it connects to an access point. However if you have it set (also under advanced settings) to turn off WiFi after your phone goes to sleep for a certain period of time, when it wakes it will reconnect, and renotify you.

I forgot to mention it repeats itself over and over after saying connected annoying already told notification I do know how to disable it but that's not the problem it's repetitive even after saying it's connected on all WiFi networks

One possibility is that your connection actually is bouncing. (Continuously disconnecting/reconnecting)

If that were the case then the frequent messages are appropriate, but symptomatic of some other problem such as hardware (flakey antenna connection?) or a strange software stack incompatibility between your handset and WiFi AP.
(The latter is more likely if you observe the problem only on certain WiFi networks; the former if it happens on all of them)

while [ 1 -eq 1 ] ; do
_res=`ifconfig wlan0 | grep -c 'inet addr'`
if [ $_res -gt 0 ] ; then
echo 'wlan0 UP'
else
echo 'wlan0 DOWN'
fi
done

Thank for the info. It happens on any wifi network im debating on removing the os completely and reinstall it. Any more info would be awesome thanks

Completely useless information but just figured I'd share my story. My father just gave back my old Note 3 and said he was having issues with it. WiFi, WiFi Tether, & GPS were all broke and network connection would drop randomly throughout the day. He was on PL1 or whatever the latest firmware update was. I then flashed back to OB6 firmware which corrected ALL the issues. I let the phone download the OF1 or whatever the next firmware update was and it succeeded with everything still working properly. Overnight the phone downloaded the PL1 or whatever the most recent firmware is, which I updated to that morning. PL1 re-broke EVERYTHING on the phone that I spent a day fixing. I then reflashed OB6 and then rooted and unlocked the bootloader and am downloading an Android 6.0 ROM to try right now. LONG STORY SHORT, the most recent Verizon update SUCKS and breaks the functionality of the phone (at least for me).

Try running that script (say in a terminal emulator) I posted in my reply. If you see the wlan0 interface bouncing up and down it suggests a hardware problem (given that you said the symptom is on all WiFi networks).

I suppose it could be software... but until you start digging for more information (e.g. dmesg output or logcat output) or trying some experiments, it's all guesswork at this point.

The OP failed to report what ROM, modem, or bootloader he is using so it's impossible to determine if were talking apples vs. oranges here.

That said, I am using the PL1 modem (most recent), the AryaMod ROM, and the NC4 bootloader and do not experience the mentioned symptoms. Both WiFi & GPS seem to behave correctly. That would seem to exonerate at least the baseband/modem firmware, but who knows.
