Wireless signal strength is avarage to poor. My Xiaomi Mi4c finds networks where as my Mi8 doesn't. My Xiaomi Mi4c has almost full bars where my Mi8 has only 1 and even disconnects. The Mi4c wireless is the best I ever had on a phone, even beats the iPhone X in both range and performance.
Troughput is good, i dont have wireless AC, only 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. I get 200/20 from my ISP. A wireless speedtest when i have full connection over 5Ghz results in the following:
Download: 168 mbps
Upload: 20,5 mbps
Ping: 10 ms
These results probably could be better when using better equipment. My wireless network is provided by a TP-Link WDR4300 with stock firmware.
It's excellent. Nothing to complain about, 250/250 connection.
Excellent, on 600/600 5 GHz wifi
Can anyone else contribute on the wifi connection range and strength vs other phones?

Nope, as it's excellent, just like most phones today.
If someone have an issue it's due to their ISP/router etc. like @ndonkersloot, not the device.
No problems. Better than the Huawei V10.
Poor
My Mi 8 has a poor signal, I had a Mi 5 and the strength it's better, like @ndonkersloot I have the same issues
I just tried to disable the data, then I connected to the WIFI at home and I activated the Hotspot. Then I connected to hotspot with an old simless smartphone and was able to surf the internet. Virtually the Mi 8 global with MIUI 10 stable function as WIFI extender. Stefano from Italy.
Average at best. I have noticed it suffers from some of the issues that older iPhones had due to antenna placement. When you hold the phone horizontally (landscape), poor connections take a huge hit.

My router is placed on the first floor and I have trouble getting stable WiFi connection at ground floor, especially my kitchen, which is at the rear.
I am surprised nobody mentioning this. The XZ2 has the worst WiFi reception among phones I have used recently (P10, Redmi5A, Samsung S8, OP5T). Yes, it is even worse than the budget Redmi 5A! I am on .265 firmware.

WiFi signal strength is noticeably weaker than Galaxy S7.
Connection drops from time to time.
3 stars.
It's terrible... This whole phone is a huge disappointment to me. One of my favorite experiences I've ever had is with the Asus Zenfone AR. With three degradation of my pixel 2 experience ( I can't even use it it's so slow) I miss the AR. To get back on topic yes the wifi receiver in this 5z is honestly really really weak. All the crazy positive reviews on this phone all over the web I am starting to not put any stock in any review now. Maybe it's just my particular device blah blah blah .....I'm Asus biggest fan but c'mon now.... Anyone have a 8gb Zenfone AR wanna deal?
Wifi signals are weaker compared to even other midrange phones.
I also confirm same. WiFi singal is not only weaker but weakest. AZF5Z India version.
Same spot at hotel room, my zenfone 5z get poor signal (1 wifi bar) but redmi 5 plus can get good signal (4 wifi bar).
Just bought this phone and I regret it.
Can it be rectified through an OTA update? Or is it a hardware issue?
any solution to weak WiFi in Asus 5z?

Hi guys, I'm experiencing wifi connection dropouts on the newly bought device.
The rest gadgets of my household behaving fine. How do I research for the possible solution?
What version of rom do You have. Did You try to update to this version: clover_images_V9.6.23.0.ODJCNFD_20180802.0000.00_8.1_cn_041a06af04.tgz
9.6.26 out today
Ive never had any issues with it wifiwise on my Orbi homebsetup or hotspotting from my phone.
My MI Pad 4 is running Mokee by default, i bought it from Ali Express.
I'm to sure how to switch to MIUI, or should I?
Running on Miui 10 weekly beta from xiaomi.eu, I don't have these problems. My wifi is stable, although the range is a bit smaller than that of my Mi Note 3 - still excellent, but noticably different.

Is anyone experiencing low wifi strength when playing games (covering the wifi band instead of covering the speaker) ? Overall wifi strength is good but if you accidentally cover it while watching videos or something it slows down connection real bad.
(I'm on Xiaomi.eu 11.0.7)

All the 2019 xiaomi's suffer from low quality wifi connection ( i had note 8, note 8 pro, mi9SE and now mi note 10 ) and all are capped at ridicolous 96mbs on 2.4ghz while with others ( huawei's best ) in the same spot i have 400mbs.
My mi note 10 it's even bested by lower tier xiaomi's ( i have a redmi note 5 pro to compare ) regularly loose wifi connection in some spot and it's not auto reconnecting.
You cant have 400 mb connection on 2.4 GHz band . This is a lot over 2.4 can do. either IT was on 5ghz or GSM accelerated
So so
With different modems and qnc, you get different connection speed.

No different to my S10 S10 plus or any other Samsung I've owned.
Perfect wifi throughout
Worst wifi receiver I've ever used
I come from a Note 2, perfect wifi signal receiver.
I decided to change after decades and bought an A71.
Good enough this phone concerning all but the wifi receiver. It is almost frustrating. While my wife's Hw Y7 and my children's old Samsungs do find the wifi signal at 2 dots I do not see any wifi network available even being in the same identical overrided position.
Very bad thing. Also thinking that if it is so poor receptabling for my safeness, while I'm in the same little space together with people with more dangerous devices I even do risk my health..
In few words: I do not appreciate this from Samsung.
I just bought this phone over the weekend, previous phone was Asus Zenfone 3. Wifi in my house and my parents house seems pretty similar, which is disappointing because I wasn't very happy with the Asus's wifi especially 5Ghz speeds. I did speedtests and ran wifi analyzer on both phones at various points in my house, the Asus typically had slightly better signal strength but similar speedtest result. I compared both against my wife's iPhone XR, that was significantly better in all tests. We have 300mbps internet and an AC3200 wifi router in a ~1500 sqft townhouse. The weakest point for wifi is my office because it's on the opposite corner of the house to the router. The midrange android phones were barely getting to 100mbps on either of my 5ghz networks while the iPhone was between 150-200mbps. When testing near the modem, the android phones would top out around 270mbps but the iphone would go over 300mbps for the duration of the test. On this basis, I am considering returning the phone as I've been working from home for the past 5 months and need my phone to have a strong connection.
it's because high end device have 2x2 WiFi (2 antennas) so the theoretical speed will be double (on 5ghz 867Mbps vs 433Mbps). mid range and cheap phones only have 1 antenna
