No wifi on Galaxy Note 2 after update
It tells me 'Network Disabled. Poor connection' when I am at home. 2 feet away from wireless router.
I would like to say I have had no problem with wifi connection at any att store or any open wifi network including my home wireless network.
Ever since I did the update...cant get wifi. Nowhere.
Please help. Rooting my phone is NOT an option.
Anyone else having a problem?

This is the 2nd time I had this issue. Sent it to Samsung and they redid the firmware and updated the software to 4.1.2 etc.
Phone worked for a day before I restored my stuff. Worked for another day and a half then I happened to notice it was being updated with a 176MB download from ATT. So I waited till it was done to see what was going to happen. Phone rebooted and I noticed right away my wifi was gone.
Called Samsung next day and they said to send it back for further testing.
Something hit me today that if my phone was already updated, why was I getting another update so soon.
I decided to check my S3 and lo and behold it was still at 4.1.1
What I did was call ATT to confrm which IME# was on my account, it was the IME# for my S3 lol. What was happening was that my sim card was in the Note 2 and was being fed an update for my S3 which led to corrupted files etc.
My issue was caused by switching my sim card back and forth between my Note 2 and S3.
I had them change the IME# on my account to the Note 2 and I rebooted and my wifi started working.
Too bad I did a factory reset a couple hours earlier lol
Hope this helps someone 🙂

The problem keeps recurring for me now. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to like having the cable connected to my computer to connect. It gets frustrating troubleshooting when it doesn't connect. Sometimes I just give up and after leaving the phone alone for awhile, it eventually connects itself.

I'm gotten a couple of updates for the AT&T wifi app but my computer won't take a hardware update for Samsung now. I'm still have problems connecting sometimes but I can reboot the phone and/or kill all running apps while trying to connect and eventually connect. Sometimes it does connect without any problems but other times I have to troubleshoot. As of March 26, 2013.
