VoWiFi Issues on AX routers? - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey all. I just upgraded to an Asus WiFi 6 router. (Asus AX88u) and ever since, I am having problems with VoWiFi calls. Quality is garbled and simply goes silent every minute or so for a few seconds. Calls don't drop but are mostly useless. An iPhone xs max on the same access point has no issues. I can verify that the OP8 pro is connecting at AX speeds as it registers at 1200mbps both router side as well as in the advanced section of wifi setting in OxygenOS.
Anyone else?
Edit: Switching back to my old AC88u fixes the problem

Weak Bluetooth and WiFi?

I received my OnePlus 2 this morning, bought it from China which has was a risk, however I assumed the LTE band would be the only problem.
Having set it all up I've noticed the strength of the wifi sucks, I can't connect to my router unless I'm in the same room.
Bluetooth is the same, it disconnects after less than two meters.
Is anyone else having these sort of problems?
nope

Wifi issues on Airport Extreme 750AC

The only issue I've had with the phone since receiving it on Friday is network issues using wifi over and Airport Extreme 750AC, that we have at work.
I upgraded to the 6p from a 2014 Moto X, which had no issues at all with the wifi at work. Also no one else at the office has complained about this kind of issue either, with a mixture of Android and iOS devices.
The phone connects to the wifi quickly, with very strong signal strength. But something is interrupting the connection after 10-15seconds, causing full loss of transmission. After another 10-15 seconds of no connectivity, it will come back strong for another 10-15 seconds. At home, wifi signal strength and speed has never been better, using a Cisco e4200.
Has anyone else experienced this with their 6P?
EDIT - This still occurs if I tell Android to connect to 2.4ghz, or 5ghz only, and not automatic. Both 2.4 and 5ghz networks use the same SSID.
EDIT2 - Issue resolved. Was not due to anything on the device, but an issue with the network DHCP instead.
I've brought a Nexus 7 to work running Android 6.0 as well, and it has no issues with the wifi. Posting just in case someone else runs into the same issue.

Connection issues/radio instability

Is anyone else having problems staying connected to WiFi and/or cell service with the international version of this phone? After a while, everything seems to die. Putting it in airplane mode and taking it back out seems to fix it.
See the attached screenshots. The wifi will show connected with issues, and the cell service will be zero signal. After toggling airplane mode, everything goes back to normal.
Yours is IN2025 right? Are you on 10.5.4? I had some wifi issues but not sure if it was the phone or ISP problem. I updated to 10.5.5, haven't had a connectivity problem since. The update log specifically points to addressing connectivity problems

Yep, IN2025, but in 10.5.5. What is funny is that it has not happened once all day. It happened so many times the past few days before, that I was able to tell it was usually after putting it down for a period of time (maybe going I to a deeper sleep?). At this point, I'm hoping it will not come back, but I also know nothing changed to have fixed it either.
I wonder if it is related to the wifi calling bug, where not everyone sees it. I noticed the people who aren't getting wifi calling seem to be connected to APs that allow TKIP. I have Deco M9 Plus "mesh" APs, which are generally great, but don't offer much in the way of advanced configuration options... like not being able to select AES over TKIP.
I guess I'm still having issues. Almost immediately after I posted that reply, I noticed my cellular signal was showing really low. It didn't seem to resolve on its own, so I shut wifi off (wifi seemed fine this time). As soon as I shut wifi off, I got LTE+ mobile data, and the signal strength jumped up. I have only recently actually started to trust the signal strength indicator, after the fiasco with Apple marking them up a bit to make it seem like the signal was stronger.
It should be noted this is a partner tower outside my house (which is usually a strong signal) and not the home cell spot. Not sure why I'm not connected to the latter, as I haven't left the house today (which is usually when I pick that up).
Are you by any chance with Charter/Spectrum ISP? My aging netgear router crashed a few times as I was flashing and rooting but I just kept going so couldn't really tell what was going on. I am with Google Fi and have wifi calling enabled but have not had any issues. I do not have the mobile/wifi linking. I did see on 1+ forum that someone had an issue with his router crashing but I believe he had mobile and wifi connection linking enabled.

oneplus 8 pro wifi/bluetooth issues (with a tmobile sim)

So I may have come across something that may help someone else out as well...
Recently (as in less than 15 days) purchased a oneplus 8 pro from oneplus.com. When I first got it it was on android 10 and I was not able to connect to either my 2.4ghz wifi or my 5ghz wifi using WPA2. I had a oneplus 7 pro previously that still connects without issue. I had read elsewhere that the open beta was better so I tried that and it indeed was better but sometimes though I was connected to the wifi, no traffic would travel over the network and it would stall to the point that the only way I could do anything internet or network related was to go to my cellular data. I did the 'device mac' as opposed to random mac and that helped for a brief time however that even cause the same stall/lack of response issues.
Since I don't have much for 5g cellular where I am, I changed it to only look for 4g....still no improvement. On a whim, I disabled any and all security on my 5ghz wifi and low and behold I could connect. I wasn't about to leave either of my wifi networks wide open but also remembered the network I connect at work is also not wpa or any sort of protection so theres a hint as to how to 'fix' these issues. I then read someone about the possibility of having special characters in your wifi password can cause issues. I removed the ! in my old wifi password so it is now alpha numeric and have had no issues with my 5ghz wifi network. I have been able to stay connected with my 5ghz wifi WHILE bluetooth has also been abled and the speeds are roughly normal.
Try at your own risk but in summary:
1. upgrade to the open beta 2
2. disable 5g cellular connections
3. connect to your 5g wifi and make sure the password has no special characters in it as well as use device mac NOT randomized mac
4. perhaps success
With all the above being said, I do still intend on sending this phone back in hopes that I got a dud unit but I'll admit seeing these results makes me feel like its more of a software issue and certain incompatibilities with certain routers.
Just dropping what info I have discovered in hopes it helps someone out there...I would not normally endorse using NO password on wifi or a weak password, but for this phone it may be a requirement at least until the updates can come into play.
Thanks,

I am backing everything up to go to Android 11 tonight, and I switched to a new WPA2/WPA3 router here, but my password has no special characters.
On Android 10, complete nogo, as using WiFi calling with a BT headset on 5ghz slows the network down so much, the other person can't hear you (no upload bandwidth).
I'll let you know how Android 11, OB2 works out for me.
If there are issues, I am going back to the OnePlus 7 Pro and selling the OP8 Pro.
Since I have not been using WiFi, I blew through 55Gb of data this month already so am subject to throttling, thanks OP8 Pro

You could try om a different router of someone else to pin point out if it's your router yes or no.

I did upgrade to OB2 a few days ago and wifi is generally better. But VOWiFi never works with a bluetooth headset - the other person can never hear me.
Also when streaming over WiFi the connection drops or stalls and causes rebuffering. I have confirmed these behaviors with 3 different routers.
Can anyone on TMobile (USA) confirm working VOWiFi while using a bluetooth headset?
Also 4G and 5G speeds slow down when on a call using bluetooth.
Maybe this is all due to qualcomm 865 chipset issues as the galaxy S20 users are having similar issues?
I had faced lots of stability and speed issues on the 5gz band. Received the OS11 update today and my issues seem to be resolved. So far the 5gz connection has been very stable, lightening fast speeds.

Wifi calling tmobile

Callers cannot hear my voice when WiFi calling is enabled on tmobile network. Happens at home, work, and everywhere I connect to wifi. Only solution so far is to turn on airplane mode and then wifi (wifi calling). What's going on here?
Oneplus 8 Pro
Model IN 2025
Android 10.5 (same glitch android 11)
I had this same issue, but only at my regular home, not my vacation home. The only difference was the routers (identical) were configured slightly different.
I dumbed down the router so it was not supporting WiFi 6 and the problem went away. Also, so did all issues about WiFi slowing to a crawl while on the phone. Overall WiFi is now stable and now with bluetooth too.
I am on Android 11 rooted, btw. No explanation on why or how this worked....
Interesting. If this was router related airplane mode would not make a difference imo
