I did power cycle the router.

I did boot to safe mode, but the problem persisted.

"When you say "Reset wifi settings" do you mean you reset the network settings  at Settings->General Management->reset->Reset Network Settings?"

My Z Fold 5 SAYS:  >General Management->reset->Reset Wi-FI and Bluetooth. and there is a 'Reset mobile network setting' 

When on my mobile network, the phone connects immediately with no delay.

Thanks for your suggestions

Found possible solution:

When I clicked on reset 'Wi-Fi and Bluetooth', there was no option to not also reset Bluetooth. So, I had to set up my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro again. It took several attempts until I realized that I had to reset the watch before it would set up.

After successfully setting up the watch, I realized the phone was once again connecting to Wi-Fi with no delay.

How's the signal? Do other devices in your home connect instantly?

The Wi-Fi signal is strong, and all other devices in the home connect instantly.

Restarted phone, reset wifi settings, turned off any battery savings when using wifi in developer mode, restarted phone again.

When the delay occurs, pressing on the wifi icon, I get a window that shows my wifi is on, says my current network is connected with a strong signal, and below that it says "Turning on...".

After 15-30 seconds, it turns on, and then everything for that site is fine.

With wifi off using 5G everything loads up immediately.

• Do you have any third-party anti-virus apps on your phone?
• Do you have auto-connect turned on?
• Do you have more than one wifi network available under the same router?

Power cycle the router... yea I know everything else is working but this is to reset the router for your Fold's connection. 

Boot to Safe Mode and see if the problem persists.
