I have a galaxy S6 and noticed a couple of days ago that my Wi-Fi at home is not connecting to my cell. I've had the Wi-Fi for a long time as well as my cell and never encountered this before. What I did notice is a the Wi-Fi symbol and the letter i next to it. I have googled and can't find what that means. Does anyone know? Could it be the Android version.
