	There is a known issue with Samsung Galaxy S7 devices where they do not fall back to IPv4 properly on our network. This results in extra data usage over your cell plan if you have mobile data enabled, and inability to browse some Internet sites if you have mobile data disabled. The solution is to return your device and change it for a different one (not a Galaxy S7).
