Wifi problems?

I'm having wifi issues at home (probably any wifi though, maybe?)

I've got plenty of devices using wifi at home and have never had these problems. Originally it seemed the Note 4 jumped on to "static IP" but I changed it to DHCP. Still though, it seems the connection just drops+reconnects really regularly so I can be using some app that requires wifi (i.e. chrome browsing) and then all of a sudden it'll just cut out for a few to many seconds.

Anyone else having these problems?

My issue seems to be the wifi radio 'hanging' during initialization. When I reboot the phone the wifi works great for a while, but sometimes when I turn it off (out of the house, not near a hotspot, etc), and then come back home and turn it on, it looks like it's starting to initalize, but never does. I have to reboot the phone and then it works again.

Anyone else with that issue?

Same problem here. After a while the WIFI connection will be instable and does reconnects. 5GHz or 2.4GHz freq. makes no difference as well the AP. A reboot of the device will bring back a stable connection for a while.
I think a stupid background process is the problem.
