Is this S7 wireless connection good? Will it drop the connection just because of sleeping mode or keep dropping continuously?

Not really, as long as you have a Wi-fi connection and your laptop is connected, it doesn't drop connection continuously or because of sleeping mode.

I don't find that it runs down more quickly than my more advanced smartphone that it is replacing. I keep the Wifi turned on. I don't use it constantly. But I charge it about once per day, either at my office or while I'm sleeping.

I'm having the same problem. I just rebooted it and used it for a while, browsing the embedded web server, then watched it go dead as soon as it entered sleep mode. I woke it up by tapping the touchscreen but it still doesn't reconnect. Its wireless status screen shows it connected with an IP address. Pinging that IP address gets no response. Very frustrating.UPDATE: Rebooting my Netgear N600 (Model WNDR3700) router seemed to fix the problem, even after the printer went back into sleep mode.

I do not use a wifi repeater so I can speak intelligently about that. A direct connection has worked flawless so far. No issues with connectivity. And my wifi still works good all around the house and even works well when using on my laptop in my back yard so no issues with the extra cable connection.

I bought it yesterday at Best Buy and had the same problem Janice L. Cox, M.Birch and Andrew had. After connecting to my wireless network, the device randomly disconnects, even when the rest of my devices are still connected to the wireless router without issues. Sometimes to reconnect I have to power-cycle the device altogether, or go to settings -> networking -> find my network again -> re-enter password.

I've actually had issues with this. I sometimes use it in my bedroom which is two rooms away from my router and it will have trouble connecting to WiFi. Both my laptop and my phone connect fine in my bedroom.

Here is a solution that works for some with the WiFi connect/disconnect issue. Go to Settings -&gt; Wi-Fi settings -&gt;Wi-Fi disconnect policy and change the policy. Mine was originally on "Never (uses more battery power), I changed it to "When screen turns off" and have not had the issue since. I understand that it has something to do with the Android OS not Motorola hardware. Just like the issue with teh MicroSD slot, the reason is the Android OS, there are hacks out there but I will wait for Google to fix it.

I leave it on all the time, but I always have to go into my Bluetooth setting to reconnect, it only takes a couple second cause it's already on my device list, but I do have to reconnect everytime I use it

I don't blame you for wanting to return it. Maybe return it and wait a few months, see if it improves.There are supposed to be "fixes" for WiFi, MySB, alarms, etc... in the just released SBS 7.4.2, but who knows.For audio quality I'd take the Boom any day! :)As for my Radio, it *never* loses connection to my WiFi (RED indicator), but I do get the occasional BLUE indicator (loses connection to MySB).My main issue is the "looks like it's playing but it is not" problem. Even then it is not as often as others have reported, for me anyway.I'm also running 7.5 beta and 7.4.2 beta so that may be why I don't have as many issues with the Radio as others, hard to say.

might even work better with the Samsung Wireless charging cover, cause then there wont be any connection issues,you sometimes get with the after market, third party connectors

Here is my question? Does this work really well? I am having all kinds of issues w/ my wireless connection signal strenght says 100% but my bars fluctuate so I was thinking about purchasing this to see if this stablizes anything.

Is your connection loss occurring after the laptop goes to sleep and then resumes? That seems to be happening with mine. I recently upgraded the driver of the card (Google "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 135 Driver Update" and download the most up-to-date driver from Intel's website) and it seemed to help the problem. I believe it still happens occasionally, but not every single time as before. Not sure what the cause might be.

It wont stay synced...I loose connection at least once every 3-5 minutes and I am extremely close to the computer. I have an Mac so not sure if that is the issue or not...cant find any help online.
