I am a bit disappointed with the new Wifi reception and speed on the new Galaxy S6 Edge. Not sure why it is so bad. I travel often and used quite a bit of Wifi spots. At home I have to Wifi router (Asus and Apple). Tried both while turning each one off each time. Both showed full bars when I sat next to router but when I left room and wen to another room the Wifi reception dropped to 1 bar while on my Macbook Pro I still had full bars. The speeds also have been poor. I get over 90 mbps of download speed on my iPad but only 40-47 on my Galaxy S6 Edge:( .

Was expecting better Wifi performance out of this S6 Edge.
