Galaxy Note 5 WiFi connectivity.
My phone updated to Android 6.0.1 a couple of weeks ago and now it seems like the device will not maintain a stable wifi connection in my home. It might be due to the AT&T Smart wifi app going into sleep mode at will. Before I uninstall it, i wanted to try and determine if the issue stems from the app or the device itself. thnx!

I checked my router and the guest network is disabled so that's not it. I also re-enabled the WiFi sleep function. I'm all for saving battery life!

Did you flush your cache partition?
It could be you're seeing a cached page from another Router/AccessPoint, with the same IP or similar UUID info.
You've rebooted your router too, correct?
Really scratching my head otherwise, this is typically a public hotspot popup, per my above explanation.

I had the same problem with my Note 5 connecting to wifi. I really thought it was a problem with my new phone. Then, a couple of weeks ago, AT&T had a software update, and now the wifi issue is resolved. You may want to check to see if you have the latest AT&T software update.

I'm sorry, not familiar with flushing the cache partition? But I have not rebooted my router. We'll do that for sure.

This particular issue actually started after the update MyrMyr refers to.

I turned my phone off and reset my router and thus far, I haven't seen any instances of the odd message as yet.

Good to hear, the router reset probably forced a DNS refresh on your phone, effectively doing the same thing.
I'd still clear your cache, or at least keep it "as a fallback" if you see this again. Clearing the cache will wipe any of the DNS data that might be making the phone think it's connectng to a different router: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-clear-the-cache-on-a-galaxy-s6-edge
