Weak Wifi - Is it simply weak or firmware issue? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I just got this phone and...
I notice the wifi for the phone is relative weak
Is it a firmware issue or simply the phone just weak for wifi?
For comparison, the wifi is a meter above me
Galaxy Note 4 has full strength, 144 Mbps - not rooted
Redmi note 4x is 1 bar lesser in strength, 72 Mbps; still 72 Mbps when I placed it right beside the wifi - rooted, SLIM rom, default settings
Nexus 4 has full strength, 54 Mbps - rooted, SLIM rom, default settings
Now, the tricky part is as I move further away from the wifi
Nexus 4 despite initially lower speed than Note 4x, Note 4x dropped out of range first
Any idea?
Edit: I read that it was due to missing "gChannelBonding24GHz" in cfg file but adding that in does nothing. Not sure if the setting is read from another file or what.

Lower Wifi Channel - Increase WIFI speeds

I actually have an asus rt-n58u router (which is SUPER fast and strong), yet I could only get like 5 mbs on my prime! Great signal, but no speed for some reason.
I had the 2.4ghz N-only on channel 11 originally. When I moved it down to 1 or 3 in the 20/40mhz range, it upped the connection speed 5x from where it was so my transformer is connecting at 54-72 mbs instead of the 19 before.
Odd, but give it a try on your router and see what works!
That kind of makes sense - lower frequencies are better able to penetrate solid substances, so it might make the signal strength better.
It's very odd, however, that a drop of only 40 MHz would have such a huge influence if that was the reason. Are you in a highly-populated area? I think it's more likely that there was interference on the other channel. Do you have any other wireless devices to test with? Did you try putting it back to the original channel and seeing if the speeds went back down? Also, were you holding the tablet in the same position during both tests?
I live in a small condo complex, but I used wifi analyzer to see what channels the other networks were in... At my old 11 channel, there were zero, while at 3 there are 2 others to contend with. My laptop works at 300 mpbs at either channel but the prime seems to perform much much better at the lower frequencies.
Odd part is that the signal strength was the same between channels 3 and 11, the only thing that changes was the speed thoroughput. Suddenly the speed listed in Android went from 5mpbs to 65 ish by just changing the channel, yet the db- signal strength remained very good.
If anyone can explain this, I would be all ears.
I recently used Wifi Analyzer to change to channel 11 from 1. Why? Farther away from my router 11 was stronger than 1. So maybe speed is sacrificed by distance & vice versa? Wifi Analyzer also tells which channel is "better" but is it using "better" as determined by???
Interesting, I am playing around with the channels as well, and there seem to be differences in speed of each channel.
I live alone in the woods, where definitely no intereferences from other WiFi Networks appears.
Channel 11 works slightliy faster than channel 1, but I have not tested many configs yet.
The signal strength is not the issue because I am sitting right next to the router, but the speed behaves odd.
I cannot connect to my DLINK DIR 655 on channels 6 and 13, no problems on others.
The Prime WiFi wierdness continues

It determines better based on the channel of other networks in range. So the higher the channel rating, the fewer other networks there are in that frequency range.
TF201 | XDA Premium
looking at this from a physics standpoint, this makes sense. lower frequencies use more energy and so at a higher energy, you're able to pump out more speed. I'm guessing it's the prime that's using more energy since the router is not the device in question...
interesting though...you would think that it wouldn't make such a big difference!
FWIW, I've always gotten much better performance on my wireless network in both terms of speed and connectivity, using channel 1.
what app are you guy suing to test speeds? Speedtest.net

Yup. That seems to be the standard app for speed testing. If you really want to be accurate, the best thing you can do is transfer a large file locally over your WiFi network.

Interference. Other Overlapping wireless routers.
I'm a little skeptical of the OPs findings, as the difference in channels (in the tens of Mhz range) shouldn't make a significant (and definitely not a factor of five) difference in bandwidth. It is interesting though. Can you do some controlled test runs and provide the specific data?
I am just as confused as everyone else...but trust me it makes a big difference.
The DB rating at channel 11 was -40 (lower better), while the DB rating at channel 1 was -38. Again, channel 1 is crowded with other routers, yet 11 or even 14 is empty (no one knows how to properly use their router here!)
I would have full bars (according to android) at the higher wifi channels, yet the prime would only show 5 mbs, sometimes 19, but most of the time around 13-19mbs (per android menu, speedtest around 7 mbs). When I moved to channel 1, the prime (and my droid charge) would go to 52-65mbs (android, 13-15 using speedtest)...but my computer would go to 144mbs only because of no channel bonding.
Moving to 3, a 40mhz channel, my charge would get 52 mbs and my computer bonded to a full 300mbs. Channel 11 is a 40mhz channel too so not sure why 3 is any different than 11 that is also 40mhz, but the speed rates in android is consistently higher.
The test is through one wall, about 20 feet from the router. Could be just my router, but who knows! I have an Asus rt-n56u router, with dual bands. I would be curious to see what the tests would be at the 5ghz band if that was ever enabled in android.
My tests were in a controlled place, same spot for laptop, droid charge and my prime. All i did was change the wifi channels from 11 to 7 to 3 to 1 and see how it changed the speeds.
I measured the rates speed provided in android from the wifi interface and also used speedtest on all 3 to rate actual speeds. speedtest results went from 6-7mbs at channels 11, to around 15-16 at 1. Just checked again this morning and still faster.
Here is a wiki article picture on the bands:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NonOverlappingChannels2.4GHzWLAN-en.svg
I also got a significant speed boost from moving off channel 11 onto 1. Went from 3mbit to 14mbit
I am about to conduct my own channel 1 versus channel 11 tests right now...
I've just tried it on mine and Channel 1 and 11 were near identical and 3 halved my DL speed.
Did the most scientific test I could. Never moved tablet, same environment, same location, 10 feet from router, Los Angeles server, ran 5 tests as quick as possible on each channel - with 3 minutes in between to change channels and let the change settle - and then spent 3 minutes watching dbm strengths on each after all tests complete
CHANNEL 11 =2462mhz
0. ping ms/ down mbps / up mbps
1. 24 / 20.15 / 1.15
2. 22 / 20.44 / 1.16
3. 21 / 19.92 / 1.16
4. 18 / 21.81 / 1.17
5. 24 / 21.26 / 1.17
*high and low dbm over 3 minutes -36 to -47
CHANNEL 1 = 2412mhz
0. ping ms/ down mbps / up mbps
1. 21 / 19.84 / 1.16
2. 22 / 20.57 / 1.15
3. 23 / 21 / 1.13
4. 21 / 20.79 / 1.16
5. 23 / 20.34 / 1.15
*high and low dbm over 3 minutes -39 to -43
Results = Negligible differences with 1 real benefit to channel 11 shown by Wifi Analyzer is that it reachs around my home farther. Channel 11 seemed to stick to better dbm ratings but had wider range in high to low but stayed mostly in 30's. Channel 11 got the best average up speeds barely. Channel 11 got the best average down speeds barely. Channel 1 barley had best average png. As well, of the other neighbors signals I pick up, most are in 1 and 6 - no one on 11 but me. Thus, I will stay on channel 11 for all obvious reasons.

Looks like maybe you conducted your tests close enough to the router that the bottleneck is in your internet connection, rather than the wireless connection. Try again far enough away that the connection drops to like half of that speed on channel 11. If the speeds are still the same then, that will be strong evidence that it's local conditions causing the speed boost for those who report it.
This may be related to your routers and not the TF.

Easy enough.. will do maybe tomorrow at same time of day to try to best mimic and remove confounding variables best as possible (though saturday may have more congestion as people are home). Either way, will do in my living room, farthest point from my router. Will be interesting to see how distance changes results.

Huawei 10 Pro 2.4 Ghz WIFI weak or dissapearing signal.

Just got a new Mate 10 Pro a few days ago. 5 Ghz WIFI performance is unparalleled.
With 2.4 Ghz signal it works well for about 10~20 seconds after reboot but then shows 0 bars signal, speed drops down to 1 mpbs followed by lost connection.
However, every other device, including another Huawei phone show strong signal and get good speeds. This also happens with multiple other routers that I have at home and at the office.
I have not found anyone else complaining about this exact issue so I assume the device is defective. There is a WIFI firmware update published but it is not yet available and I don't want to miss my return window.
Any ideas how to fix it?

Hello it's been a while since you posted this, but I'm facing the exact same problem, did you find a solution or workaround?

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
it does'nt have dual band wifi
Going by the way Asus is targeting its phone and the audience appeal. Definitely it will be developer friendly. With the recent drift by the Asian OEM's moving closer to "Openess" i believe they will allow BL unlock and release the kernel sources as well. (Example, Xiaomi's approach have change towards kernel sources. And now you can buy Redmi 5, minus wait time and flash sales). All the best to Asus for bringing in this device, looking forwards for Developer community to accept it and bring in some action.
Can any one confirm that dual band wifi works or not. Because dual band is supported by soc but not listed in spec sheet

I have also checked the website but in flipkart (e-commerce website) shows a,b,g,n is supporyed
As far as I remember, Asus always had bug in their software. Some Zenfone 5 got freeze when unlocked, Fonepad 8 brightness bug not solved. Maybe when custom rom ready, we can have ac Wi-Fi.
Up till now, there is no confirmation about the wifi ac. No one has tested it yet. From the SD636 spec, it stated SD636 should have integrated WCN3980 wifi ac (not like SD625 which can have separate module). Maybe the wifi ac is disabled to make sure it doesn't compete with the premium product?
ZenFone Max Pro doesn't have Wi-Fi AC. Even the Wi-Fi n has issues. After software upgrade it causing me problems after problems!
can any one confirm what is the max link rate achievable on the 2.4ghz band . Does it atleast got 2 x antenna to support higher throughput
As these days 2.4ghz on phone is good if we have 2x or more antenna to support spatial stream.
I have seen upto 173Mbps which is good and not possible if it dont have 2x antenna. As if the phone is dual band they dont host 2x antenna which can boost 867Mbps on ac and 300Mbps on 2.4ghz which is hard to come. What do they do with all the power just game. . Also ditching type c is really bad. I am disliking this model
wifi connection problem
can any one pls confirm, if they are having the same issue with asus zenfone max pro m1 --
google play store(many times), norton live update(havent worked yet) , and chrome (crashes and has to be restarted to access internet), these all are not working over wifi when mobile data is turned off or phone is in airplane mode. and when i try to turn off the wifi to switch it on again, the button when moves from right to left, the motion is jittery and not smooth, it hangs for a fraction of a sec in middle.
also my phone's -- android security patch level shows 1 may 2018 with build number opm1.ww_phone-15.2016.1805.318-20180712 ? is it the latest or asus have released any latest after this?
1 more issue-- under network & internet > mobile network > network settings, there it shows 2 mobile networks, where it shows one as card 1 (which is actually airtel)but other correctly as vodafone IN. the displays shows CARD 1 / VODAFONE IN.
and 1 more thing-- the option of enhanced 4g lte mode is available under 1 sim only.?? are those ****ty things happening with my device only or its universal apocalypse.
in short- accessing internet over wifi has many issues with many apps not detecting the internet.
lol...1 more issue--- in the quick settings drop down menu where it shows signal ,time battery etc there is no option of mute, or volume adjustment or volume profile soft key or am i missing something here. though volume menu is integrated separately and only pops up when u press hardware vol up/down key. what a ****ty device
Many apps doesn't work on wifi only work in mobile data. Don't know why many people has this issue.
Guysss my maximum speed i can get on speed test wifi is 57 mbps . But my home wifi maximum speed is 100 mbps . I can get 100 mbps speed test if i use my samsung s8 plus. Is the limit of asus max pro m1 only around 50 mbps? Can't go much higher or what is the max speed max pro m1 wifi can get ? Please reply guys thnx.
check your link rate. If its less than 86Mbps you cant hit 100 for sure. Its so wiered 6gb is showing less . Not sure on 4gb variant.

Hi, it show 72 mbps on wifi info shown on my device zenfone max pro m1 4gb variant. Weird 2.4 ghz only can reach 57 mbps highest while my Samsung s8 plus 2.4 ghz can reach 100 mbps. Same setup no download during test. Maybe it's software not optimized? Anyone please test your wifi highest speed can get how much. Thnx.
N00b disclaimer: I do not vouch for the authenticity of what I state below
1) Our device supports only 2.4Ghz WiFi, however I believe the hardware may support 5Ghz.
2) Default Wifi bonding module probably throttles the speed and tweaking the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini will support 40Mhz and speed up to 150Mbps (Magisk module available but not tested)
3) I have checked the WCNSS file (found 4 instances) and seen that there is no channel bonding mode defined for 2.4Ghz but it is defined for 5Ghz as 0. Devs may be better able to understand the implications.
Note: I have a 6GB 601KL variant running stock rooted v318 firmware with TWRP recovery.
It means that our phone is capable of running 5G ? It requires 5ghz of band something like that . I don't know much about it . Maybe Asus has kept it as a surprise for the users inside the hardware
I just hope in the future update our device support faster than 60 mbps wifi speed.

Well Asus has surprised us by keeping the Camera2Api code in its stock firmware which is why it can be enabled with ADB without root. But don't get your hopes up !
Who use more than 30Mb/s in smartphone ?
It's no make difference in daily use.
For me, 5GHz is not relevant.

Wifi throughput is very bad, constantly drop its speed on WLAN, happens to few. Address?
Wifi signal is excellent. I live in a triplex. On the top floor i workout. I disable the LTE, still can have 2 bars of wifi. The modem is in the first floor.
Used to have an iphone 8 plus. I could never have even a 1 bar of signal.
Guys, before you comment, make sure it's not your router or home equipment causing issues, and not your phone.

I have create a thread in Question & Answer but seems like nobody is interested in.
My router are, RT-AC87U and Archer C2600 both on stock lastest firmware. 4 meters from the AP, no obstacle, direct sign. On 5GHz/80MHz, my XZ Premium, Z4 tablet, Nexus 6, iPhoneX have very good connection and would never drop* on either one.
Keep in mind this is throughput of the receiver (here is Note9) is low and kinda unacceptable, it will impact the speed of everything using internet connection. Signal is 4 bars full strength, you can have a look on the pic i posted.
---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------
I checked that Note8 also had a fewer complain address the wifi issue, nothing related to the signal or reception. Just the throughput/bandwidth was low and probably not fully compatible with Wifi chipset, it sometimes happens with Apple iDevices and Broadcom-used Router.
Just did another test to make sure no updates from Samsung broke anything, and I'm getting 375mbit, which I've seen the note 8 get up to about 350mbit and start maxing out. I have a feeling there's a bit more headroom with my note 9.
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/4187326458
I have a 400mbit connection at home so I'll have to test when I make the next wireless rig up for work, where I'll have a gig to test with!
Really sounds like interference for your problem.
Mate, do me a favor and search for wifi issue with the Note8. Considering not much change physically and internally this year.
Nothing to do with interference, if it does, then not only my Note9 is experiencing it.
The Note 9 is the ONLY device in my home which suffers from poor WiFi speeds. I have 2 access points from UBNT and my wife's iPhone 7 can saturate the connection and peg at the speed caps of my provider (200 down/7 up). My laptop and other WiFi devices can do the same. On the note 9, I can only muster 10 down and 7 up. So it is DEFINITELY an issue with the Note 9 hardware or drivers.
Throughput is the same as my note 8 . All good. Running a t mobile Asus router.

So there's definitely something wrong the note 9 then? Even with my stuff is correctly configured, TX powers all set, interference cleared out, sitting on a 80Mhz channel I'm getting 380mbit, -49dbm, and that's shaped by my internet package. My router is reporting it can hit 747mbit on this modulation, which I've attached.
I think you guys need to reassess your wireless networks.
So have 100 mbps internet and hitting 112 on N9. Using Asus rt ac87u with Merlin firmware. Router has always kicked everything away. N9 is getting good connection and has. Better signal in my outdoor shed ( laundry room) than my n8 and s9+ I have not complaints. Some might be having issues but I'm not.
Using 5ghz 80mhz channel.
82mbps on 2.4ghz
Sprint replaced my phone. all is good now.
Mine doesn't do too bad, I do experience slowness with some apps. I circled speeds that are close to my Spectrum connection which is 200/10. I am battled so wifi interference.
I'd figure I'll add to this. My speeds are gig, my computer gets roughly 750-950 on the daily. My phone gets roughly 450-580. Asus rt 87r

I have Fios Gigabit internet. My wifi speeds are solid. A little better on average than the modem in my Note 5. The 2Ghz speeds are an atrocity, but I live in NYC where my neighborhood alone has a higher population than most towns in other states. So heavy interference is commonplace resulting in lower speeds while not plugged in.

Cellular strength and throughput

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the OnePlus 8 Pro's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.
Definitely worse range and mobile data speed on T-mobile Poland than in my previous Huawei P20 Pro. [emoji52]

I have really big problems with the 4G Connectivity. Nearly no connection (0.8 Mbits) inside the house next to the open window. No problems before with my OP3T
From the beginning of using the phone, I have a problem with cyclical signal loss when I try to call someone or when someone tries to call me. I get a message that my SIM card is missing.
Interestingly, it happens just like I have the LTE signal turned on. When trying to establish a connection, LTE changes to 3G and it is at this point that the signal disappears, and then returns spontaneously after about 5 -10 seconds.
If I force the use of 3G, the connections work fine.
I tried to reset to factory settings, changed the SIM card between trays 1 and 2. I reset network settings. Unfortunately, nothing helps.
The only thing I haven't done yet is to exchange the card with the operator, but I treat it as a last resort. I do not believe that this was a physical malfunction of the card, because on the previous phone there were no problems.
It annoys me so much that I feel like throwing this phone out the window...

I feel that this phone's cellular performance is worse than that of my OnePlus 7T. I live in a shallow canyon and have not the greatest reception, however with this phone I frequently get "Mobile network not available" when sitting in my living room, which I don't recall experiencing with the 7T.
My data speeds on T-Mobile 5g in Illinois are 25% what they were (25mbs vs 100mbs) on the 7t Mcclaren
For me in Lake Charles,La it has been great. The 5g dl speeds aren't that much faster than lte but the upload speed is. What's really nice coming from PixelXL3 is like when I'm in the bathroom at work before I would barely get a signal if any, and now it's almost like I'm outside & signal is good. Thankfully T-Mobile has just been improving and improving the last few years.
Slight better signal than my S9+
hi
Im using O2 with 5G sim card and data plan unlimited. (5G) also.
But i only have 2G/3G/4G
But when i put Vodafone sim card im gettin 5G 2G/3G/4G/5G
Strange
Much better especially 5G than my LG V40 ThinQ.
Hey guys, i have a question - i bought samsung s20 (exynos) and the signal strenght and data speed is worse than on my huawei mate 20 pro. So i want know how is cellular strength and speed on the one plus 8 pro? I work in a place with bad coverage but until the s20 i never had problems with the battery (usually finishing the day with 50%+ on the mate 20 pro, sometimes even 70% and now i am at 30-40% so i have to charge either at work or immediately when i am home). I am asking because i will change the samsung and it is either the one plus 8 pro or the iphone 11/12. Thanks.
Got 1+8pro - reception to make calls improved in my apartment from Note10+, 3G/4G speed is not good but I have wifi so am just happy to have calls.
I'll be testing this out shortly when mine arrives. At my home location lte connectivity is very poor generally around -104 to -114 dbm, we'll see how the OP8Pro does with little signal.
worst
my p30 pro used to work in my room (4g). 8 pro no signal. horrible
Device has amazing cellular signal sensitivity. Sitting on my old man's recliner at home i posted the dbm figures I got with Samsung and other devices. This device increased signal reception by around 11 dbm. Using Network Cell info lite for tests as I have with my previous devices. Amazing.
