I just got the update.  Was a little laggy at first but then smoothed out.  However, the charging is taking much longer (30 min. left at 80% on Fast Charge).  The phone also restarts itself every ~5 min.  Any suggestions?

Connecting to WIFI leads to message about additional log in required and asks me to open my web browser. I do this, which causes Chrome to open to the Google home page. I'm not asked to do anything, but the device seems to connect. A few minutes later, WIFI drops and the process starts over again.

My update to Marshmallow ran overnight and now my phone will not connect to WI-FI. Is there a resolution to this issue? My internet and social media apps run fine over the 4G signal, but when none of it works on my home WI-FI. I have strong WI-FI signal and have rebooted everything twice, including deleting my home WI-FI from my phone and reconnecting it. Nothing has worked yet. Tech support response would be helpful.
