WiFi problems: "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow"

Getting "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" during setup

Some Android devices (notably Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4) have a feature called "Auto network switch" that chooses the best network connection and switches to it. This Android feature can prevent you from connecting to the Piper network during the first step of Wi-Fi setup, since it is not a true internet connection.  When you try to connect to Piper, it will bounce you back to your original Wi-Fi network and the Piper network will have the summary "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" under it.  If you turn this feature off before starting Wi-Fi Setup, you should have no problem connecting to Piper.  

To disable Auto network switch:

1. Open Wi-Fi Settings on your Android device

2. Press the Menu button and select Advanced

3. Uncheck "Auto network switch"

4. Go back to Wi-Fi Settings

5. Tap "Piper" in the networks list and choose "Connect"

6. Go back into the Piper app and you should see the "Getting list of Wi-Fi networks" message.

You can re-enabled Auto network switch after finishing Wi-Fi setup.
