Disappointed. The WiFi connection drops repeatedly (while my other phone, right next to the G5S, is working just fine). The WiFi is unreliable, slow and plain irritating.
Also expected more. My house has 6 devices including my G5S, it is set at a high priority on my router but it's the first to disconnect when other people are using the Wi-Fi.

I have a TMO Note 5 came from an S5 and the Wifi seems to not hang on as well for me, regular use is fine, but too weak for the wifi calling. The s5 didn't seem to have the issue. I'm going to hit up tech support and see if maybe it's just my Note 5. (I have seen 2 identical phones side by side but different signal strengths). It's only the 5Ghz though and doesn't matter which Channel.
Yes, the range, signal quality actuallay spped of wifi strength was AWFUL when I first got my phone, but a few updates to lolipop and it was working exccellent. Good wifi signal, speed and no drop out. However, Since I've been on Marshmallow, I almost see no performance change. That could be good or bad because I was expecting more on the more recent updates after Marshmallow. I have no complaints here cause I don't use wifi when I'm at work but wifi is awesome at home, the gym, moms house and every where in between. How can a big cell phone company make a phone that has terrible wifi signal strength and speed?
I've mainly been using LTE/4G as I'm on an Unlimited data plan but when I connect to WiFi the speeds are awesome and my internet speed is 100mbps and I get around 70-80mbps via WiFi on my Note 5. Strength is great also where I'm still connected at the end of the house compared to my dad's iPhone.

Nice to have an unlimited data plan, I just joined verizon a little too late to be grandfathered in. But it's nice to see the Juggernaught 5 is an amazing and fast phone

Constant Wifi disconnects at work, gym, any place that has more than 10 people using the wifi. Home use its fine.
WiFi and network no issues, better den any other phone... Previously I had Redmi note 3 was getting only 2 bars of network...While in Honor 6x I'm getting full network
no issues with wifi connectivity
Everything ok after two weeks of usage
No issues seen till date. Been using this phone since Dec and havent encountered the issue with Wi-FI strength. most of the time full bars unless I am in closed room or around 20 ft from hotspot.

That could be wifi signal issues as well or if they have limited the nunber of devixes for simultaneous connection.
No signal drop in home
In fact i can get wifi sometimes (not always) aon ground floor from my home at 7th floor (around 90 ft distance easily)

Gets maximum speed and strength is very good
All good with 5GHz routers.
no issue at all.perfect
Maximizes the speed of wifi. Very good.
Great WiFi speeds and signal on the Honor 6X.

Using it for 3 days. So far very good, It has a good range but not good as premium phones. For example before this phone i used p10 plus and it could catch wifi signal even from bottom of the building (I am living at top of the building). With A8(2018) im starting to catch wifi when I climb to second or third floor.
Wifi-Signal sometimes breaks off. I recognised this while using "WhatsApp-desktop." I think a further update will fix it.
it is very solid but you have to watch your hands from blocking the antenas sometimes during games.
hi guys yea i comfirm i have problems with network also which is very weak comparing to my old phone Galaxy note 3 ... i changed for this one ( A8), working fine but a bit slower and its enoying for me if i knew it i could stay with my old phone x) ... i hope there will be solutions to fix this
Ive had my A8 for 3 weeks and it constantly disconnected from wifi, both at home and the office. The wifi icon will get an exclamation point on it and I either have to wait for it to reconnect, or if it doesnt reconnect I have to turn off/on the phone's wifi.
Anyone else experience this? It's so bad I may take it into warranty.

Can't confirm that. I would test it maybe on a third wifi, but I don't think it will change something.

Never had any issues with mine, even worked fine out in the workshop which is a good 100m from the router, through several walls and across the yard. Not quite as good as the S9+ but that was double the price of the A8.

Yes, this is because the phone keeps switching between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz network. Disable or rename 5Ghz is your best option.
Much much better than my Moto X Play.

I have the device for 3 days now. While it's a good phone for the price I must say that WiFi performance has been meh.
It's stable for the most part but it switches very, very aggressively between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz when you have a dual band AP with band steering (so that means that the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz have the same SSID).
That is because 5Ghz will always have just a little bit less signal strength in RSSI than 5Ghz and the device decided to switch to the stronger signal of the 2.4Ghz. This drives me CRAZY because I have fkng 5Ghz in every inch of my house.
Also the throughput isn't stable on 5Ghz. It seems like the device goes in some kind of aggressive battery optimized mode instead of giving the full throughput that is available. For example when connecting the link speed might be 433Mbits but without moving the device will drop automatically to 200 or less without reason...
EDIT: contacted Nokia support. They assured me that this was fixed in the 8.1 firmware if the TA-1046. My device is still on 8.0.0 and should receive it today or the comming days
EDIT2: I received the update 2 days ago. WiFi on 5 GHz AP's is fixed. The phone seems also more stable and the weird overheating issues I had at random moments while playing music or streaming a video are fixed.
Only thing I need to test is the SOT as I don't have had the time yet.

Wow nokia support seems top notch! good thing the phone itself doesn't have a notch..
Similar to Pixel XL in my case.
WiFi is a bit more stable than on my old HTC 10. Connects faster and the connection seems to be more stable.
I did some Speedtests: last is at home in a 5 GHz 802.11ac network with a 100/40 connection.
The other two are in eduroam 5 GHz 802.11n.
Nokia 7 plus 2.4G WiFi signal performance of the mobile phone is very poor. In the same environment, I copied the file from FTP. My old mobile phone nexus 6p has 10MB/S, while the Nokia mobile phone has only 4.xMB/S.
5G wifi performance is similar to two mobile phones.
Yep sadly the wifi performance is poor, both the throughout and range are worse than all other phones I've had on the same router.
It is one of the worst aspects of the phone.
My nokia 7 plus not show 5Ghz wifi only 2.4 Ghz show

Signal is pretty bad. I have Google WiFi at home and in my bedroom the Xperia can barely connect and often drops. My old OnePlus 5t did not have this problem. I'm very surprised an all glass phone has that much worse WiFi than a 3 year old metal unibody design...
I notice the WiFi isn't great on the phone. I often have to switch to mobile data. My older phones do not have this problem.
Same, my s9+ was all glass and had better wifi signal. I'm wondering if it can be fixed with a software update as when I first got the phone it wasn't to bad.
My Xperia 1 would drop the wifi connection at home too often, I've had the Xperia 1 11 for a week now and it is better but still drops it, every couple of days for a few seconds, so far anyway. Never have this issue at home with my iPhone 11.
Gotta say I've had no issues with wifi strength, range or throughput. I'm on O2 here in the UK.
I am having problems with a BT Smart Hub. It doesnt seem to be a problem with the signal strength for me, rather it stalls all the time and data isn't received every so often. Played with switching between 802.11ac, 802.11n and 802.11g but makes little difference.
I started a thread on the Sony forums on this here:
https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/xperia-1/xperia-1-ii-unreliable-wifi/td-p/3684998
I have a Vodafone router. WiFi is fine, it's actually stronger on 5ghz than my Asus Rog 2 was.

What Wi-Fi router are you using?
Wifi strength is bad on mine. Drops out in several rooms of the house, where non of my older phones had the same problem
I have a WiFi 6 (AX) router and the phone connects at almost full speed across 10meters between 3 rooms, something you cant get with AC WiFi for sure.
So I rate 10/10
Dear friends, I have same problem. My XQ-AT52, imported from HK, has very slow wifi connection.
Only with 5Ghz Wifi it's ok.
2.4 gHz bad range.

Rubbish wifi strength here and for some reason it refuses to see my office wifi despite it working great with the rest of the house.
