WiFi connections are unstable on multiple different WiFi networks

Has there been any updates on the unstable WiFi connection issues with the Note 3? I have this issue with multiple different WiFi networks even though signal strength is not an issue when it happens. I picked up my Note 3 in August/Sept 2013.

1. Work WiFi

2. Home 2.4G channel and 5G channel

From what I have searched so far, I am by far not the only person with this issue, but I have yet to see a fix or any kind of legitimate input  from Verizon on this issue.

The issue even happens in SafeMode so I know its not an app that I downloaded that is causing this issue.

Thanks

This is a known issue with the Note 3. This is one of the reasons a few of us are screaming for the  Kit Kat update.

Are you switching over to your Data network?

It is dropping me to 4g until it finally reconnects or I notice and force it back to wifi. Verizon just sent me a warranty replacement and within 20 minutes of getting it setup and connected to wifi, it does the same thing.

Samsung is aware of the issue. The fix is supposedly with Kit Kat.

They may suggest you going to a Best Buy mobile and have the software removed and put back on. Been there done that, didn't work.

Sending a replacement out isn't going to help. It is a known software issue, and it will continue until there is a build that fixes the issue. IE: Kit Kat.

You should have the MJE build. This software is the problem. MJ5 was no problem. If you get a replacement MJE should be on it, if not as soon as you put the SIM card in it will start to download it.
