Hi there, guys!
I'm now with a Z3 Compact from Sony and I'm having this issue. The wifi signal is bad if I get out of my room (where the modem/router is).
I've already comparated with:
- My dad's iPhone 6 Plus: The signal of my dad's phone is a bit better.
- My Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, with CyanogenMod 10.1 or 10.2: The signal is the same.
- My old Moto G 4G 2013: The signal of the Moto G is a bit better.
So I've tried to change the channel based in Wifi Analyzer app and also enabled 802.11 n mode on my Motorola SVG1202 Router/Modem. It's slightly better, but It does not make a huge difference.
My band is 2.4 GHz, and don't support 5 GHz.
My room is not central of the house, but because of the wires I can't do big changes in the location.
So, guys, you think it's a problem of the phone or the interference and router location?
Thank you and cya!
I've found z3 compact to have great wifi signal, better or same than any other phone i tried.
So i guess you should try it in some other place, just bring any other device and compare signal strength - so you rule out if it is problem with your home setup or phone. Also make sure you are not using phone case that weakens the signal.

I've noticed the HTC one has abysmal wifi reception once you move out of the same room as the router. I have a pretty meaty Netgear ac router & both 5ghz & 2.4 suck. I always thought it was the layout of the apartment but recently noticed my girlfriends nexus5 & iPad get great constant speeds throughout the apartment. My One buffers video after a few minutes. I has the revert to 3g to avoid drops.
I'm running an unrooted official 4.3 & sense 5.5 but it was crap before the update. I think perhaps the wifi hardware is just weak? Is there anything software wise I can do?
I've moved the router all over already.
Ps. My htc one X was terrible too. Before that, I had an iPhone which worked fine twice the distance away from the router.
Hi Everyone
I looked and I could not find info on this issue. I have just used WiFi at home in the past with the Note 3 and it was fine. Here is some history of the changes:
- Old home WiFi was single band wireless N (53mbps) with a second repeater hot spot. This worked well with the Note 3.
- Had issues with the router so I upgraded to a dual band ac router and removed the second hot spot. So now it is just the new router for the whole house.
- Issues now - receive 2 bars at the far end of the house and basic WiFi is OK. Watching You Tube is an issue and it loads, plays for a few seconds, loads more etc.
I don't see a way to tell if I am on ac or wireless N. I was going to try to switch to wireless N and see if that helped but I can't see a way to do this? This router is way faster than my old one so I thought speed would not be an issue. no one else is using the wireless in the house. I would think that 2 bars would be strong enough? I think that wireless N would have a better range so that is why I wanted to try that. I am assuming that I am connecting to ac. Any thoughts?
thx in advance
AC routers have two separate ssid's. One for b,g,n. And another for 5G band. The 5G band default ssid is the same as the other with "5G" at the end. 5G band doesn't have good range, but it has faster speed between connected devices. 5G won't have faster internet unless you have a 100mb download speed. Which is unlikely. So your YouTube issue is either your modem, or a Qos setting in the router. If your router is at default settings it's definitely your modem.
You might be able to get more support on this subject thru a forum for your router, or modem.

why not use your old router from your old home as a repeater? wouldn't that work?

That's called buffering and it's due to low thruput (which is different than speed). It can be caused by low signal strength (due to distance or to the signal haveing to go through too much along the path), noise between the router and the phone, interference with someone else's wifi signal ...
You need at least a couple of apps like Signal Check Lite and Wifi Analytics to see what's going on. Guessing isn't going to give you a solution.
5GHz Wifi N signals are "missing" on my XSP.
While at home, my old LG 4X picked up automatically three 5GHz frequencies from local hotspots using WiFi Analyzer app. The Xperia SP doesn't display any, like the 5GHz is not there at all. Tried with all the 5GHz channels turned on in the app, as well as just a few, more common of them, to no avail. Furthermore, WiFi Analyzer is missing the 5G icon on its graph screen.
I thought it was the weak signal problem on the SP so many spoke about, but I found the WiFi performs much better at the same places and circumstances than the mentioned 4X, although at 2.4GHz. I also went to a place where I previously used a 5GHz wifi, but still nothing.
The phone is on .1.254 generic UK FW.
Can anyone help me with this?
No 5Ghz
I can confirm this. I'm on 1.205 and I can't see any 5Ghz AP. The phone is advertised as dual band, even tho I don't use a dual band router this still annoys me, My old and cheap Blu Dash 4.5 gets better speed from the router (130+) compared to the SP (74). I'm happy with the XP but these WiFi issues are really annoying.
For a fix, my uninformed opinion is, this should be addressed on the kernel or driver level, the chipset has the dual band hardware but something is missing between the hardware and our stock FWs.
Hi
I received my 3T yesterday. I am having issues with WIFI
WiFi network drops frequently and the mobile data is used for some time and then WIFI is connected again. See attached .. This happens even when moving between rooms of my house
I think this happens when the mobile wifi changes from 5GHZ to 2.4GHZ when I move away from router
I have updated to OxygenOS 3.5.4 as soon as I received the mobile
The signal strength of the 3T is also very low
I have a 2 year old moto X 2014 and the moto beats the 3T at every place in my house
The signal strength and the wifi speed both are better in moto X
I have checked at various places
I have wiped the cache. Tried changing 2.5GHz to 5GHz
Changed Channels.. Tried all the things that I could find on the internet
But still problems
So is this a hardware problem and should I ask for a replacement? Or is this some Software bug which can be resolved
My router is ASUS RTN66U and a lot of other devices work seamlessly on that router and hence pls dont suggest to change the router
Awaiting replies
Regards

I think this is a bug related to 3.5.4. On 3.5.3 my WiFi worked a lot better, but LTE Advanced is faster on 3.5.4. You can try a custom rom or downgrading, there's also a leaked OxygenOS 4 rom out.
Do you have wifi issues now when u have 3.5.4
I don't want to install new Roms. As I may have to return it in case this is a faulty piece
I'm having the exact same problem. I stream a lot. Very annoying when music video or gaming gets disconnect so often. My Galaxy Note 4, & s6 works fine.

yes, it started on 3.5.4.
here is a screencap of the issue
You can see in the screen cap that the mobile is connected to ASUS5 (5GHZ)
Then as I move away from the router the signal weakens and then the wifi disconnects .. and then it connects to ASUS (2.4GHZ)
Earlier it was connecting to ASUS but with a exclamation mark (without internet).. I waited for 15 minutes but it did not connect
Then I would connect if I switch off and on the wifi toggle
After that I did a factory reset and now you can see the screencap
It connects after a minor delay.. So is this alright
My other mobile - Moto X 2014 simply switches instantly from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and vice versa.. not even half of second is taken on moto x
Give the device a static IP use 2.4 network as it's more of a long range band. I tend to use the 5 band for stationary stuff. My WiFi works fine but all my home devices have a static IP.
This are the things that I did
1) Factory reset
2)Use Legacy DHCP client (under Developer options)
3)Disable Smart Wifi switcher (Advanced Wifi setting)
4)Static IP
This seems to solve the disconnection issue .. I still feel the wifi signal is weak compared to my other devices
Hope this helps someone facing the problem
regards
I had the same Problem on OOS 3.5.3/3.5.4/4.0 at the OnePlus 3T.
I tried every Solution on the internet and nothing worked for me.
But after i looked into my Router-Setup i saw the DHCP Section where i selected 'Renew DHCP every Day'
>>> Screenshot what i mean - imgur.com/KakQX3i.png <<<
After that it works perfect. No connection-issues anymore.
mine is already one day..
I thought it was resolved... but again I noticed slow wifi speeds
thinking of replacement
haven't had the phone long enough to experience disconnects but wifi is definitely slow...
I have a 200mbps connection, getting 160mbps on desktop with LAN cable, 110mbps on my OPO, only 50mbps on my OP3T....
all tested through speedtest with the same server location.
OP3T is chinese version flashed with oxygenos 4.0.1
edit: later tested again with OP3T getting up to 90mbps but still 20 less than the OPO
I have same issus like lajay. The Galaxy S7 from my wife works perfekt in the same Network!
Me and a friend have the Xiaomi Redmond note 4 and when we went to grab a coffee together I noticed that I have a much worse signal connection than him, when he was at full signal strength on the WiFi whereas I had 1 line , then I noticed that at home , I don't even find the network on places where I used to have good connection , is it possible that I somehow destroyed the WiFi connection receiver in the phone? And it can't be a router problem of course since others had good signal compared to me, is this fixable?
