Is anybody else having wifi issues?

Literally received my N4 about 30 mins ago and Ive set it up etc. Ive noticed that the Wifi seems to be weak compared to all my other devices I have around me (it goes up and down and actually dropped out altogether once).
Anybody else have wifi issues?

hmm...i think so, yes
Gnex speedtest on wifi 5.19Mb
N4 speedtest on wifi 2.11Mb
not an "issue" but definitely slower

I have seen an improvent over my HTC Desire. With my 50 Mbps DL / 5Mbps UL
My results:
With WiFi N: 45 Mbps download / 5 Mbps Upload (The speedtest app just gives random download speed as I don't even get to see the download speed bar) Singal is between 40 and 60% according my router.
With WiFi G: 19 Mbps download / 5 Mbps Upload (Pretty much maxing the G bandwith) signal is 95% as the router is in the same room.

I just got phone this morning. I get my max 25 mg dl 5 upload and have had no issues

Mine was working poorly just as you described. I turned off WiFi optimization in the settings (says it helps with battery life, so I'm assuming this weakens WiFi) and I looked around in my router settings. It was set to 145Mbps (neighbor-friendly mode apparently) and was giving me less than 5Mbps up or down. After bumping it up to 300Mbps (performance mode), it is now giving me full speed for my 30/5 connection.

I'm having trouble connecting to my cisco router. It would say either "obtaining IP address" or "authenticating", then the connection breaks and it attempts to reconnect.

No issues for me.

Change the configuration of your router. Set an open connection and try again.

I had an issue on mine where it lost connection with my wifi router, then kept showing no networks in range (usually there are around a dozen showing up due to neighbors). I tried turning wifi on and off, going into airplane mode, finally had to restart the device entirely to get wifi to detect any networks again. Hasn't recurred, but it does make me concerned.

Seems good to me:

I'm having problems connecting to my Buffalo router with WPA2 security. It connects just fine to my guest network that uses WEP authentication on the same router, but it just says authenticating or obtaining IP on my main network. My router is a BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N450 - WZR-HP-G450H using DD-WRT... Is Buffalo crap and that's my problem?? My Gnex connects to it fine.
I've tried disabling/enabling wifi, airplane mode then out of it, and rebooting my Nexus 4 without any luck.

I had this issue but toggling wifi fixes it.

I have a 30mbps down 5mbps up connection at home and I get those speeds on my phone over a wireless n connection at 5ghz. No issue with wifi at all.

5GHz WiFi dropping

Anyone else having this issue? My tablet will randomly stop seeing my 5GHz network, other devices aren't having this issue, and it's still seeing 2.4GHz networks.

Try changing the channel manually in your router settings. Some mobile devices are really picky about this...same issue happens to my gf's Galaxy Nexus. I don't own this device yet, but this is some general advice that I'd try first.

Mine is similarly having trouble connecting to 5GHz networks from time to time. It seems that when the tablet set to 'auto' it stops scanning for 5GHz networks. If you manually set it to 5GHz it will immediately find the network. Hopefully there will be a bug-fix.

check your routers 5Ghz settings. Make sure you have it on a 20mhz channel if given the option as 40mhz or hybrid 20/40mhz will usually give you connection errors.

dont set auto, try manually and check router settings, it could be help to fix bug

Haven't connected mine to 5GHz on either of the dual band routers at my house. I always just use 2.4GHz with all of my devices. I'll try them both in little bit to see what my results are though.

The issue I think is that 5GHz is not nearly as effective at maintaining a strong signal through obstructions like 2.4GHz is. I only get a 2 bar signal in a room on the other side of my router while I get a 4-5 bar connection strength with 2.4GHz in the same room.

I was having trouble with 5Ghz too (I was using 802.11a). In order to even get a stable connection, I had to change channels on the router. But as previously noted, it does seem that it has more problems with obstructions. I sometimes lost connection with just one wall between me and the router, but with 2.4Ghz, everything was fine.
I have never had this problem with my GS3 or with any other phone that I've used on 5Ghz.

I think higher frequency in general is harder to penetrate obstructions. Same with my 5Ghz on both my routers. Will have to change the channel to see if it helps my connections. I leave it on 'auto'

Not having any issue connecting to 5ghz band. It does get a little weak when upstairs but has not dropped.

I was seeing 25 MBS down the first time I connected to my 5ghz, and then it dropped it one day and never showed up until I reset my network and now I'm only getting 8, 12 if I'm lucky.

You saying you were getting faster speeds on 5GHz than you do on 2.4GHz? Or were you just mentioning the speeds because it's now slower on the same 5GHz router?

I would normally only get 8-15 on 2.4ghz on my tablet, and I when I went to my 5ghz network, it was set to auto on the channel width And for some reason it knocked off and I couldn't join again. After I reset it, I was only getting 6 mb on the 5ghz. I just changed it back to 20mhz channel width, and it's flying. 64mbps link speed, and 24mbps down, 2.80 up.

I am having the same issue it losts 5ghz when i try to reconnect. Just reported it to Google they are looking into it.

If youre in the US or canada, Check your WiFi settings, many are reporting their tablets being shipped with wifi region set to Europe. Europe uses slightly different settings then the US and Canada.

I have had issues with my N7 dropping signals altogether. I have one router (upstairs) w/ 5ghz and another (downstairs) on 2.4ghz. My N7 doesn't even see the 2.4 and will occasionally drop the 5 and rebooting won't fix it, nor turning on airplane and off.

hope that helps a bit

thanks jaythenut,
"keep wifi on during sleep" set to always by default and i don't see anything else.

Have you used the same SSID on your 5GHz as on your 2.4GHz?
If so: they must be different!

My Note 3 Work very well on 5 Ghz, is my wifi at home. Router Belkin.
Look whit Wifi Analyzer, option wifi channels. You see all of the 2,4 Ghz, and if You touch on top left it change to 5 Ghz. You must see Yours.

My N9005 connects to my Asus RT-AC66U, but keeps complaining about an unstable internet connection. My old SIII worked fine. Compatibility issue between N9005 and Asus AP's?

Did you find a solution? I have the same pproblem.This plus the unstable connection problem is making me miss my note 1

Found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675547 on 5ghz connection issues on Note 1 in Hong Kong. It describes channel limitation based on region. The file in my etc folder has ccode=GB which I assume is Great Britain. However, it allows the channels that my wifi router EA4500 is using on the 5ghz channel. So no luck on recognizing the 5 ghz network still.
I downloaed wifi analyzer and looked at my network. By default my router and I assume all the ones in my neighborhood use channel 1 on 2.4ghz. I just switched to channel 12 and there hasn't been any issue for the past hour i.e. no unstable connection warning from the phone. Just downloaded a 40MB file without any glitches at good speed. Will report back if the problem comes back.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Unstable connection warning back in a couple of hours. The interesting thing is that both my old Note 1 (N7000) and my wife's S4 can see and connect to the 5ghz SSID just fine and of course have no unstable connection notifications which seem to be an 'enhancement' in the note 3! Sigh Haven't even rooted the N9005 because of the knox flag or I would have played a bit with the wlan configs in the etc folder. Guess will have to wait for Samsung to come around to admitting a problem and then fixing it.

I've been having the same issue with my RT-AC66U.

I also have a RT-AC66U... and I'm connected fine with my Note 3.
go into your wifi settings and make sure that the third checkbox is not checked.
Name in french of this box is "Basculement réseau auto"...
With this setting enabled, my wifi is unstable even if the signal power is full.
Also make sure that you have the latest firmware on your router.

Try channel 48. Dont use those channels 160+, may not be supported.
I'm using an AC66U.

Thanks, I had same problem with my Note 3 not finding 5ghz and switching the 5ghz channel to 48 did the trick.

Slow WiFi Speeds on Z5 compared to other devices

Over the past day or two I've noticed the download speeds on my Z5 to be slower than my other devices on WIFI. I'm not sure if it's cause and effect or just a coincidence but my phone fell 2ft/70cm when it slid off a table and fell onto timber flooring landing directly on it's back.
The phone has a case but I've done a factory reset and the problem still persists. Perhaps I've damaged the antennas but my mobile data appears to have had no change in speeds. The speeds varied on my phone over these 2 days ranging from 1-3mbps compared to the normal 6mbps i get.

Check your modem/router frequency that it use to send out the WiFi signal, and if you can change the frequency of your modem or router then change it to something else and do a Speedtest.
With a app called Wifi analyser you can see which frequency band is best to use when you connected to your Wifi.
If none of the above steps helps, then I have no idea what it could be, my Wifi works great anyway, getting 11 mb/s download speed from my modem.

Z5 connects to AC router with 866Mbit/s speed.
Speedtest reaches 100Mbit/s with ease on Z5.
Check your router.

Yep same as you, in addition if other devices are connected to the same band at slower speed they will also kill the speed of any other devices on that band

No the case won't affect this, in addition what are you actually talking about, your speed has gone to crap accessing files within your network, or are you talking about the internet. Because there are so many variables that can affect internet speeds, and a huge percentage of them are fully beyond your control.

I ran some speed tests at a friend's house to see what was going on and it seemed to show similar speeds against my friend's devices also connected on WIFI. I'm suspecting it to be a problem with my router but will run a few more tests with a borrowed router.

I am having problem with wifi, it says connected, but no internet access.
This is happening lately, mostly after last update .182
I don´t know but since then I have restarted my router for three times now, on laptop I don´t have any issues.

Speedtest gives me 219/200mbit/s on my z5 compact, could be better but it's acceptable for a phone

Other than home (which does not have any issue) I do not connect to other wifi. But on my recent travel, i've had the same issue as you connecting to various places which has wifi. I believe its due to router settings mostly.

I'm getting the opposite - mine's a disconnection issue. No WiFi connection issues but when I leave the house my E6653 sometimes fails to drop the WiFi connection for mobile data so I'm miles away with "Connected, No Internet" with a bang (!) next to the WiFi icon for my home SSID - far out of range! Turning WiFi off and on again sorts this out, i.e. mobile data connects instead.
Anyone else?

It seems fine for me but bluetooth and wifi on at the same time causes some imense lag.

My Z5 has BT on 24/7 (paired with smartwarch 3) and no WiFi lag.
Change channel on WiFi.
Channel 1 can mess up BT and vice versa.

I had to disable 5Ghz band on my router to connect a few ipcams. They do work now. But am I destined to have 5ghz band disabled if I want the ipcams to work?

Don't use same name on the the 2 networks, and make the ipcams connect to the 2.4GHz band.
Eg: 2.4GHz is named [email protected] and 5GHz is named [email protected]_5GHz, also disable band steering (if your router/ap supports it) if the cameras are supposed to be 5GHz "compatible" but actually don't work on it.

Which channel are you using at 5ghz?
I had the problem with my huawei and now with my op5 with channels higher 100.
Try a lower channel - like me at the moment 36. Perfect for all my devices.

still having same issue . Currently i am using Xiaomi router 3 .

Mhh, you can try: Settings -> Backup & Reset and selecting the Network Settings reset option. This will lead to your OnePlus 5 forgetting all Wi-Fi and paired Bluetooth devices.
After resetting the network settings, reboot your 5 and then try again. If this not fix your problems I don't know.

i dnt know whats wrong tried a lot but doesn't working

I got this probleme on my samsung s tablet with France region software. Il look like the 144 and up wifi channels are only in us and some international devices ignore them. So I put a lower wifi channel 56 i think and it worked.

If you're using Magisk. You could check out (my) Magisk mod https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-oneplus-5ghz-mod-t3656016 it changes the wifi region to 'EU'. I can see and connect to channel 149 for example with this mod.

OnePlus seems to have buggy 5G wifi support, this configuration works on mt OnePlus 5T: Band: 36 (5.180 GHz), Width: 80 Mhz, SideBand: Lower

My problem with 5Ghz wifi is slightly different. While it shows very nice download speed (260-300Mb), the upload is barely reaching 1Mb (while me standing 1 meter away from the router). It's not impossible to upload a photo to cloud or have a call over Viber for example. I tried this and it didn't work:
Resetting all networks settings and rebooting the device
Doing factory reset. I actually rooted my phone without a full backup lately.
My observation: phone shows very nice speed on 5Ghz WiFi without the SIM or when SIM data is switched off. Looks like OP5 modem messes the WiFi connection somehow when mobile data (4G) steps in.
My router is Xiaomi 4A Gigabit edition, by the way.
Did anyone face the same?

it work for me when change channel to 36 (36-48 worked fine)
