LG G3 WiFi Not Working

[Resullins]

Seriously, the Wi-Fi on my phone SUCKS! It's about a fifth the speed of the data connection, and the data connection then uses my data! Anyone else had this problem? Any fixes? Ideas?

WiFi is very important feature Resullins! Let's get to the bottom of this issue and explore options to resolve! When did this WiFi issue start? Does this happen with every WiFi network or only with a specific WiFi Network? Do you remember if issue started when you installed/updated any particular application/software?

It's a problem with the operating system. Lollipop has almost bricked EVERYONE's G3 phone. Read the other threads here, there's nothing but complaints about Lollipop. I just want to know when it will start working again. Is Google working on a patch? Is Verizon putting one out? Is there anything that is being done?

LG G3 will most likely skip 5.1 and go to 5.1.1 I believe.  It will be several months before that happens.  Not to say a patch of some sort might not come before.  No word yet.  DNSet app in Play Store is a good workaround for wifi problems.

Interesting. What does that app do? This is the first I've heard of it in my "research" into this fun little problem.

It helps resolve the ipv6 issue most LG G3s have with wifi networks.  Instead of changing the WiFi DNS addresses in and out to Google servers (which you cant always do due to private and public routers) you change the phone's In and Out addresses.  Most people say this works fine.  It's not cure, since most folks want the phone to do right without workarounds, but it helps.
