Help wifi issue?

i seem to be having a wifi issue with me phone. I just got this phone on Friday, and everytime I connect even to just my home wireless router, the connection doesnt hold for long. Is this normal?

No it's not normal and I have not had this problem but have seen others with same problem. Hopefully someone can help you on here or contact VZW

It may also be the wifi sleep policy setting. If you go under Settings-Wireless & networks-Wifi Settings touch the Menu softkey and select Advanced you will see the Wi-Fi sleep policy menu. Change it to Never and it will stay connected to your wireless network.

As a side benefit, it will save your battery as well by keeping the data from going over the 4G connection.
