Just got an S7 edge and it appears to be using my 4g data allowance even though I am connected to my home wifi. Any ideas

Check your wifi settings and see if it allows the phone to use the cellular data connection if the wifi is weak.

GRD55,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It certainly sounds like you have your Smart Switch turned on. You can check this by following these steps: settings > Wi-Fi > Tap the 3 vertical dots in the top right hand corner > advanced > Tap Smart Network Switch to turn it off. Let us know if this was able to help you.
