Help Galaxy S5 wifi problems

Recently my S5 has started having problems staying connected to wifi networks. It's constantly dropping and reconnecting. When it's not connected, it says "temporarily avoiding poor connection" but the network has full signal and no other devices are having problems staying connected. It's done this on 2 different networks and I've restarted the phone several times, tried forgetting and reconnecting to the networks, but same thing. I checked for updates in case there were any system updates that might fix it, and the Lollipop update was available. Since updating to Lollipop things have not changed. I haven't reset my phone yet, that was the next thing I was going to try but thought I'd stop by here to see if anyone has any other suggestions first.
This is killing my battery life!
