WiFi strength, range, and throughput

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy S7's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Hello. Have no wifi drops yet like my s4 on stock had. Other than that can't tell anything else more specific at this time.....
But I'd really really really like to know weekday the s7 wifi is rated for..... think I read mimo for 867mb (?) May be just me but I don't know why I'm having difficulty finding any real specific facts for S7 wifi specs. Would like to know the s7 max wifi b4 I upgrade my router if needed. Thank you.

Problem with the wifi on WPA(TKIP). Bad stability.

Works perfect.

I can get the same speed as my desktop computer using wireless. My speed is 150mb/s.

Range isn't as good as my S5. Same spot in the house, I'll get 3 out of 4 bars of wifi strength whereas the S5 had all 4 out of 4 anywhere in the house.

Same here.

Wifi on S5 (901F) is better than on S7 (930F). Longer range and stability.

Some timeouts on low signal, but generally very good.

I have set wifi policy to go off when I lock the phone, but it stays always connected when I check it after hours. Any ideas? Wifi calling is set to off and nougat patch December installed
