WIFI Disconnects/weak signal - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Just got my 3T, great phone. Running Resurrection remix
I have one problem tho with WIFI, i don't know if it's rom/kernel/software related or if it's just the hardware.
It disconnects very easily and im having very poor signal. Never had this problem before with any phone, and im using the same router as before (asus rt-ac66u) with diffrent passwords for 5ghz and 2.4ghz. Anyone else having this problem?
I've googled a bit and it seems like a common problem but I haven't found any real solutions get.
Im thankful for any response regarding this

[Q] Weak Wifi signal. Broken wifi antenna or the way its meant to be?

Hi everyone,
I've searched around the forums about wifi connectivity issues on the Touchpad running CM7, and while I've found some similar scenarios, I'm not sure if they are the same issue I'm having.
The wifi signal on my TP is incredibly weak. Unless I'm in the same room as my wifi router, signal strength always teeters on low to unusable. I've tried all the tricks I could find on these forums, changing wifi channels, using Wireless-G only, using wireless-N only, wide channels, standard channels, No security, WEP security, WPA2 security, even moving the router to another part of the house. However, the signal strength is still incredibly unreliable on my TP.
In comparison, my iPhone, both laptops, and 3 desktop computers all connect with great signal in any place around the house.
I'm currently using Xronified v2.9 ROM, and I've also tested this on CM7 Alpha 3.5. Both OSes could barely maintain a connection if they got a signal at all. WebOS has a stronger signal, but not even full bars when I'm in an adjacent room to the router. That seems strange to me.
Can anyone confirm or deny that they have similar issues with wireless strength? I'm asking to see if the TP is like this by design, or if I have a dud TP that I should get replaced by HP. I even tried opening the casing and reseating the wifi antennas with no success. I've also ordered a new dual band router to see if that will make any difference. But that will only help when I'm at home, it won't help when I go anywhere else.
Any advice would be appreciated, and if I somehow missed a similar thread that exists, my apologies for double posting. Thank you everyone for your support!
The wifi driver in android still has issues but webos shiuld work fine for wifi. I get about the same wifi signal as my droid3.
Thanks for the info, I was worried that my device was defective. I will keep waiting until updates fix this, (which I hope is soon, it's difficult to use a tablet without internet access).

[q] slow wifi speeds??? Anyone else??

Ok guys, I have been struggling with this issue for some months now, and was wondering if any other One owners are experiencing similar issues as me when it comes to wifi speeds on your phone. Let me first explain my issue, and then what I have done to troubleshoot and narrow down my possibilities.
So, for the past few months, as far as I can remember, I have been plagued by EXTREMELY SLOW wifi speeds. I'm talking 500kbs download speeds on a 50mbps home network. Whats even more bizzare is I have 10mbps upload speed on the wifi network. This does not pertain to any partcular rom. Sense, GPE, results are ALWAYS the same.
Now for the troubleshooting I have performed: I have tried various firmwares, radios, different roms, and of course I matched the current firmware to what rom version I am running. I have tried disconnecting the network and reconnecting, turned off Wifi Optimization in advanced wifi settings, I have tried resetting and powercycling the router, and have even switched internet service providers recently in the last week and am still experiencing painfully slow download speeds on wifi. And before someone tells me it may be a hardware failure, these results are consistently the same on my wife's HTC One. and my Nexus 7 ironically has blazing fast speeds.
So basically, I want to see If I am alone on this issue, or if others are experiencing similar issues with Wifi speeds being slow regardless of internet network speed. And why am I getting ridiculously fast upload speeds of around 10 mbps while only getting 500kbps to 1mbps download speeds??
Thanks guys, I wanted to put this thread out there to help others who may be in the same boat, and to get a consensus to see how many others also are plagued with this annoying nuisance.
Thanks.
Just tested the speed between nexus 7 and one on wlan and both upload and download are at 10 mbps (where the router is ~10 meters away through 2 solid walls).
I have a gpe 4.4.2 htc one.

hmmm, interesting... I just for the life of me cannot figure out why my wifi down speed is being choked so badly with nothing else sharing the connection.
I am having the exact same problem. I myself have been searching for answers and have not found anything.

[Q] Wifi on 5ghz issues ?

Hello.
Noticed this morning when watching movie clips off facebook that the clips could just shut down randomly. WTH i thought and tried and tried and sometimes it played the clip longer and sometimes just shut them down.
Switched to 2.4ghz wifi instead and that seemed to work alot better. Even tried the same clips over 3g and that seemed to work aswell hence i belive it is some problem when using the 5ghz.
Signal strength is showing very good on both bands but still problem. Anyone else been having theese problems ?
Im running the .757 NCB firmware with the stock kernel from that firmware and rooted. Bootloader relocked with flashtool. Router im using is the Asus RT-N66U. Never had problems like this with the other phones.
EDIT: Done more testing when at work on pure 3g connection and it opens clips posted on facebook and plays for a little while and then closes them down back to facebook. So it doesent seem to be problems with wifi/3g.
What could cause this ? Dunno what player the facebook apps uses when opening videos.
I also have a problem with wifi... When I connect to 1 particular modem (sadly my houses) it messes up the modem. The modem behaves like hectic and kicks out all devices, or looses connection. Checked with the provider and they sent 3 technicians. They did not do anything. Please help, as it only happens with this device and it feels like my ZTE modem is allergic to it...
Sorry if it's off topic, but I thought maybe there are any similarities between cases.
I am also having a problem with 5ghz. My wifi keep disconnecting and switching between 5ghz and 2.4 ghz
even when I am in better coverage of 5ghz. Also usually net don't work properly on 5ghz.
Well I think my problem is gone, or hoping anyway I repaired the phone with Sony update. Unrooted now but it will remain like that until a stable and working software are available.

I experienced issues with the 5ghz and 2.4ghz, but nothing like what you guys have had. Are you using the same SSID for both 5ghz and 2.4ghz? if so try changing them slightly, sorted out my problems, and it also fixed problems that some of my customers were experiencing too.

[Q] Wifi Problem after CM11

Hi All, I've searched around and can't find threads that are exactly what I'm experience, so I'm hoping this is something the community can help with. I've been experiencing this problem since flashing CM11 a few months ago. My wifi has no problem searching and connecting, but intermittently while on wifi, I'll notice that I'll only send data and not receive it. Waiting 15-30 seconds will usually have it come back, or disabling/enabling will also fix it, but it's never consistent. I notice when the phone is plugged in, the wifi connection stays pretty good.
Just to clarify, I am not losing the wifi signal and the phone stays connected to the network. This happens in all kinds of wifi (whether home or work). Any help would be appreciated!

I dont know if its the same in CM11 but in stock rom you have some wifi options to reduce battery usage, maybe turning them off could help? If not you should make a nandroid baclup of your current setup and flash another rom temporarily to see if the issue persist. Btw are you using a stable build of CM11 or nightly builds? If you are using nightlty builds, you might want to try with a stable version.
Is this always happening when using routers of the same brand? I already had this kind of issue but it was with my One X not my M7. The only way I was able to use the wifi without making the routers hang (every d-link router) was to turn off the N band (5Ghz) and only use the 2.4 Ghz bands (a/b/g). Maybe it worth a try... but I never heard of this issue for the M7.

I tried the Wifi optimization option and it's the same performance. I'm using a stable build of CM11 and wanted to see if there's something I'm missing before flashing again.
I'ts a little bit difficult to tell which routers this happens with, as I can recall only having consistent wifi traffic once in the past 3-4 months. I've switched back and forth between 2.4ghz and 5ghz on my home router to the same issue as well.
Thanks for the suggestions...may just have to resort to a new ROM...

Wifi problems or not? People without problems welcome :D

Hello all together,
I'm considering to buy this phone (actually for quite some time ). Apart from the OnePlus service (which should not be part of this thread right now) what bothers me most are the Wifi problems I am reading about.
Problem is, when reading throgh the internet, you never known whether all or only the people with problems are speaking up.
So maybe to lower mine and the doubts of others, people owning this phone could quickly post wether they do experience wifi problems or not.
Thanks in advance
My OP3T did have some major wifi issues when I first got it. Regardless of whether I connected it to my router's 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz bands, it would momentarily disconnect every few minutes and then reconnect within seconds. It wasn't a major issue for most tasks, though some games that required a constant internet connection did get interrupted. Oddly, the wifi worked flawlessly on my school's network, so I'm assuming the issue is router dependent.
Then OOS 4.0.3 was released a few weeks ago, and with it the "disable IPv6" option. I had read that IPv6 did cause some problems with older routers, but I couldn't force it off on mine. Enabling the disable option on the phone seems to have cured it of all its disconnect problems. It's working consistently now.
No problems at all.
Ever

Please report back. Would be interesting if this is some kind of definite fix
i have not used the Stock OOS Rom Was using this phone from like a month and running with custom roms tried many and i have not seen any wifi issues
I've had the one plus 3t since December and I have never had any wifi issues. I've used stock OOS and Los and wifi has always been great for me
Hello,
I'm having no problems with the WiFi, no problems at all. But I do have a problem with cellular data, it randomly turns off in the middle of a YouTube video or while browsing social media. I'm hoping they fix this in the future.
Cheers!
Wifi is pretty good... when you're sitting next to the router...
I get about 60mbits down when I'm next to the router and about 1mbit when I'm in my room. My oneplus one, my dads iPhone, my laptop and my shield tv do not have this issue.
It seems like the Wifi range is absolute crap which is really the only thing I don't like about this phone.
Thanks for the answers so far. Not as bad as I thought

I heard about the lack of speed but this is by far the slowest I read about
I just got my 3T two weeks ago. It came with Marshmellow and I immediately upgraded to OOS 4.0.3.
I am connected to a 5.GHz WiFi connection in my house and never had any problems.
I don't play games on my phone so I can't really test gaming.
I am Systemless Rooted with Magisk with a pass for SafatyNet, meaning I should be able to use mobile payments but I have yet to try.
I doubt the fact that I am rooted is making a difference in terms of my WiFi connectivity.
I can test my 2.4Ghz connection in the future. I have not done anything with IPv6 or modified anything in regards to my WiFi settings to make things better. I simply connected my phone to my 5GHz network and started downloaded apps and etc.
I hope this helps.
Didn't have any issues yet. The only thing I agree on is the poor WiFi range. I had exactly zero inhouse issues neither with my iPhone 6s plus nor with my nexus 6p. But with my oneplus, I loose connection in my kitchen, which is like 10 meters far from my router. Pretty afraid of this being persistent.

Same here
Thanks again for all the answers .
I think suppose there are definitely a lot of people without any problem concerning wifi connection drops.
The thing with the poor connection is definitely something but that I already knew.
No wifi issue for me.. Stock OOS 4.0.3 rooted
As far as I know it doesn't necessarily connected with the problems in the android device. My causing is using the same phone and as I remember he used to face some issues but later he found out that the phone works well, but he has issues in the wi-fi router he is using. To avoid this kind of problem I would like to recommend you to get acquainted with the following article 192.168.l.l login . Hope it will be helpful for you!
