My brand new Note 4 has always worked flawlessly with my home route via wifi (the past month). However, once I try going to a public wifi hotspot, such as my local ymca, my Note 4 just keeps saying "obtaining ip address" and eventually ends up saying "failed to obtain ip address" or "avoided poor internet connection". Also, after entering in a password on a wifi network at work, it will say saved, secured but drops the wifi as soon as i attempt to you use the internet...
I have been to a few hotels where I was able to connect to there free wifi after entering a password. I have researched this problem as being linked to android devices. There are some tips or workarounds that I've found that may or may not work for me but here they are:
1) Set frequency band to 2.4ghz only
2) Set to static ip
3) Turn airplane mode on, then back off
4) Do a factory reset on the phone
Before I attempt all of these options at my local Ymca, I would like some feedback from others. Has anyone came up with a sure fire fix for this issue on android devices? Any other tips or suggestions?
Thanks to all !
