Wifi not working - even though it says connected and signal is strong

I connected to Wifi, it says connected, and the signal strength is strong, but none of my apps work - all of my apps says it is not connected. I connect my laptop on the same Wifi network with no issues. Also, when connected to Wifi, the 4G LTE sign on top is still there! What is going on?

On my old Note 3, I never had this issue. I connect to Wifi; if it says connected and says the signal is strong... then it is connected and the signal is strong. All the apps works fine AND the 4G LTE sign goes away - showing it is NOT in use. Of course, when the Wifi signal drops, I would see the 4G LTE sign pop back up - showing it has switched to the 4G LTE data...

Why is it with this Note 4, the Wifi is all messed up? Someone please help!

I'm having this same issue with my 6 week old Note 4. I was sent a refurbished phone, which still has the same issue. I've tried all of the above, I've done a factory reset on my phone, I've updated my router firmware... very frustrating. I'm about ready to switch back to my Galaxy S4... even if I had to have it plugged in all the time, at least it was functional.

We want you to be able to get the full use of your new phone! So we would not want you to go back to your old phone abby_n45. Let's look deeper. What’s the software version of your phone? Any updates needed on your phone? http://vz.to/1zRCy64 Is this happening intermittent or consistently? Is this happening everywhere with other WiFi’s too? Do you currently have a case on your device? Here are some addtional steps to try: http://vz.to/1J0nmZJ Keep us posted on the outcome.

I'm running 5.0.1-no updates needed. Intermittent problem, occurs on other wifi networks too. I have the Incipio case recommended to my by the Verizon store.
