WiFi strength, range, and throughput

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Rate this thread to express how you think the LG G5'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!

My only gripe with the WiFi has naught to do with these metrics. It has to do with connecting to authenticated networks (coffee shops, work, "open a browser to login" types.). I HATE how it will choose to just not connect instead of waiting for you to authenticate. Haven't phones been able to be connected to WiFi and cellular data since Lollipop or so? Why just not connect instead of holding until you auth the network? Argh. Anyway! Great, otherwise!

My phone drops wireless in my room constantly, no other device does. 2nd phone, definitely a design issue

EDIT: Forcing 2.4GHz fixes issue

Wifi is definitely stronger here than my Galaxy S7.

Maybe the metal frame is helping?
