Wireless reception

Is anyone else having wireless issues? This devices gets the worst reception of any other tablet, phone and laptop that I have had. After getting about 20 feet from the AP I get no bars. Wireless seems to cut off and on. I have a dual band AP. I have tried different settings on the nexus but still the same thing. My Samsung galaxy nexus phone gets twice the coverage. Maybe I got a defective tablet?

Please delete this thread. Thanks

Wait, did you find something out that could help anyone else?
I have a dual-band router as well. 5GHz works well, when I'm in the same room. I go downstairs, and connection drops... 2.4GHz however works far better. To be fair, my router clearly notes that 5GHz doesn't travel through walls too well, but really I'd like to travel around my house and still have a WiFi connection

No I just found a couple other threads on the same subject.

That's a known range limitation with 5GHz band and not a Nexus 10 issue.

"Internet connection too slow" notification

Hey kids.
I came from the S3 the beginning of November. One of the "new" annoyances I've come across is a notification that the wifi connection Internet speed is too slow. Which is bull. The only way to reconnect after that is to reboot. Sometimes enabling airplane mode does it as well. So my question is twofold. Has anyone else come across this? Has anyone figured out how to turn this stupid setting off?
Thanks in advance.
♢NoteIII♢

I haven't encountered any of these problems. My Wi-Fi signal it's weak at times, but when I have a good connection internet speed is fast
If I helped hit thanks!!

im not saying this will fix your problem, but i was getting these messages as well. I switched my wifi power saving off via service menu. I also changed my router band from 2.4ghz to 5ghz 40 bandwidth and i havnt seen the message in about 2 weeks.

Thanks. Actually did the power save to off this morning. Happened again this afternoon. As far as switch to 5ghz, I've found that my wifi signal's reach gets cut by about 20-30 feet on that band. Which means I lose reception in part of my basement. I can move my router more centrally in the house, but overall speed suffers (goes from a solid 8-10mbps connection to about 1.5 mbps) cuz the wiring to that receptical is sketchy.
I can get that stupid message in the same room as the router.

yeah 5ghz band will cut your signal strength in half probably. Maybe buy a dual band wireless access point? Its wierd that your speed goes down on 5ghz. Mine practically doubled on my note 3. My house connection is 100mbps / 5mps. On 2.4ghz i can only get up to 30 mbps, when i enabled 5ghz wifi, i shot up to ~110mbps down.

that's ridiculous... buy another router or access point? Its the phone, not the internet, when you get the notification when you're right next to the router. The Note 3 is the only device on my house giving me Wi-Fi issues. Sorry I don't mean to sound like an arse, but it seems silly to buy a phone and have to replace your router, when everything else works just fine with the WiFi signal.

Just to clear up, speed goes down when I connect to the other phone plug. So my router (brand new, furnished by internet provider) is on one side of my house. And this happened before moving in mid Nov as well. Before was cable Internet, now dsl. It's the best thing I can get @ current location.
I'm not sure if it will actually solve anything, but I received the latest update ota. Tomorrow gonna download latest firmware and flash via odin avter wiping everything with safestrap.

I'm having the same issues. How do I do the steps above? Kind of's a noob and I don't know what the service menu is and where to switch my bandwidth. Can I get a step by step please?

Kancerstick pretty much had it right. Rather than switching the band from direct 2.4 to 5.0 though, go into your router settings and look for a setting that says "channel".
What channel are you running on? There are 1-11 channels, try different ones or the idea is to find the one that matches the channel of the phone/client device

Ok, I see what you're saying. I'll check that out when I get home. Thanks!

This post subject caught my eye... I wish there was an xposed module to disable this function. Anytime my wifi connects to my canon eos this notification always comes up and sometimes ruins the connection

The one solution that did work for me was to go into the WIFI Settings -> Advanced option under the menu key -> Uncheck the "Auto network switch" option. I haven't had any further issues with that message so far.

tried everything...
I think I have tried everything on this issue. I got my note 3 a few days ago and it will not keep a stable network connection. tried:
1. uncheck the auto switch
2. turn off mobile networks
3. turn off wifi when sleeping
4 changed my router to static ip and not DCHP
5. forget and reconnect to network
6. reset router
I don't thing I can change my router settings anymore or I will have issues with other equipment
I am sitting right next to my router and everything else works fine but my note 3 will not keep a connection. I keep running speed test and half the time it works and half the time I get a no connection error.
Any other thoughts? Should I try another unit?

My 6P can't find my home Wi-Fi

I received my 6p two days ago, and i have this weird problem.
since i got the phone, it was unable to find my apartment's wireless network, although the phone succeeded to discover many other wifi networks in our building.
I thought the problem was the router, but then I saw that my old N5 could find the network and connect to it without any problems. the same thing with my laptop, with my friend's oneplus one and also with my roomate's iphone, the network appears in all of them.
I should of course mention that my 6P is able to connect to other networks with no problem at all.
anyone got any idea what the problem could be?
thanks in advance.

hi buddy go into your router settings and change your wifi channel it should work

Thanks alot, it worked!

Hello
I'm having the same problem here. My profile on the router was on AUTO - switched it to Channel 12 - as pictured.
Anything else precisely i may need to change?
The router in question is ASUS RT-N12+ - not the smartest of routers
I'm a bit pissed off for this to happen like this. My problem is identical to the one our colleague above has had. I can see ALL networks in the neighborhood but mine. All other devices / phones / laptops work with my current one...
Regards

Try channels 1-11, preferably either 1, 6, or 11.

Thanks a lot - managed to fix it, worked with channel 11 - really weird issue, if you ask me, will change the router, for sure
Regards

sorry for noob reply, do you mean the router setting on the phone or computer? :$

Had exactly the same problem - Nexus 6P and ASUS RT-N12+ not finding my home WiFi - but everyone/everywhere else. Very frustrating. Changed to channel 11 (from auto) - and it all worked like a charm. Thanx for the tip!

all 5GHz wifi will disappear sometime

Hi there,
i found that all 5GHz wifi will disappear sometime and only 2.4GHz wifi were left even the signal is very good.
Not only mine but also my neighbor's 5GHz wifi was gone too so i can confirm that there is no problem with my router.
but it can be solved by restarting WIFI in setting menu.
is that a hardware bug or software bug? have anyone facing this problem too? :crying:
ps: using stock rom 4.5.5 & stock kernel

I've too, but disappear and restore itself.

I have the exact same issue, I have 2 separate routers, one upstairs and one downstairs. The one upstairs is a 2.4ghz router and the one downstairs a dual-band router with separate SSID's for the bands, sometimes when I come downstairs I can only see the 2.4ghz SSID not the 5ghz one.

but the 5ghz one shown when u restart wifi, right?

Have you guys already contacted OnePlus about this? I have a few days ago, and I'm currently still in touch with them to find out why this happens.
I for example have the problem, that sometimes the data throughput using 5 GHz networks is absolutely zero, no data is transferred at all (tested with iperf3) and then sometimes it resumes but other times I have to disable WiFi entirely (disable background scan to do that) and reconnect and only then it would start communicating again.
BTW: I'll include a link to this thread on my ticket with them, so that they can see I'm not alone with WiFi issues on the 5 GHz band.

WiFi 5 GHz doesn't connect to channels >= 116

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure since when this has been happening, but my A1 (latest OEM updates installed) doesn't want to connect to 5 GHz WiFis when they use a channel starting from 116, as it seems.
This is very annoying because on dual-band WiFi routers, when it tries to switch from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz (especially when both use the same SSID), it can't connect and drops the connection completely. This happens every few minutes.
For my own WiFi networks, I can work around by manually setting a channel < 116 or setting different SSIDs for both frequencies. But on WiFi networks that I don't control, I don't know what to do.
Any ideas? Does anyone have the same problem? Was it caused by a recent update? Is there a way to disable 5 GHz WiFi support on the phone itself?
Thanks for any input.

I am affected also by this problem.
I did like you on my router but can't do the same for the office.
As far as i know the solution is to roll back to oreo.
I am not sure if CyanogenMod helps on that point, if it is i will for sure flash my phone.

Wifi channels >116 works on Oreo. It looks like Pie messed wifi in several ways.
Rolling back to Oreo is more difficult because of ARB (or something else with Pie) but it can be done.

Thanks for the info. I've been thinking: Could it be related to country-specific regulations? Not all channels can be legally used in all countries. Maybe the phone thinks that it is located in such a country. Logcat doesn't give me any useful info unfortunately.

You're right it could, its not allowed in US, Russia, Australia according to wikipedia. I'm on Oreo so I don't know if its a Pie or region thing for sure.
No idea if the wiki is correct/updated:
