    It will be wrong to fly on sky so I would recommend you to at services center or you may go with restore setting but be sure you have taken all backup.

    Hey guys, I got my S5 last week and noticed right away the drop off in the wifi. I have a VDSL router and my S3 and Nokia have no issues. I've done as suggested, checked my channel for excessive traffic with the analyzer and set everything to on that should be on. When I leave my apartment and come back I need to manually reconnect each time as well. I went to the Telecom store below where I work in my building and the guy said he hadn't heard of this problem but obviously it does exsist. Other than sending the phone away to be "looked at" do you have any more tips/tricks?
