Hi! I've replaced a router to Asus RT-N56U and my Photon can't see neither standard, nor 5GHz wi-fi networks. I have googled that the router may use higher channels of Wi Fi (12-13) while some devices only scan for channels 1-11. After I tried changing the channel from Auto to no. 5 - the network became visible right away.
I'm on stock 2.3.4 ROM currently. Is there any fix for WiFi module (drivers?) on MoPho so it scans channels 12 and 13?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I am no longer to scan any WiFi network in the 5Ghz band. I tried a few reboots. But still does not work. On the contrary, I can scan and connect to 2.4 Ghz channel without any issue.
I am running Epinter's CM 10 with Nov 17 build.
Any ideas??
Regards,
Anupam
I have experienced wifi issue, especially under 5Ghz in several roms, at least in one of the Lineageos 15.1 and Toxyc. These rom are nice and I have been using it with stock kernel.
The problem is that the WIFI internet connection will drop after several minutes of connection. However, the wifi connection is up but it has a little cross in the WIFI icon showing no internet connection, and the phone will start to use cellular data.
With some investigation, I can ping the router from the android, and ssh works as well. so I start to think if it is a router issue. However, all other 5Ghz devices are good and connected, and if I use another ROM (say the Lineageos 15.1 by LokManSiu), it will be fine to connect.
Then I try to traceroute a public address, and it fails, so it is not a DNS issue. So I started to suspect it is a default route issue. Any hint that how I can troubleshoot this issue? Thank you.
I didn't encounter this problem with Havoc os.
PS. Using agni kernel.
I have bad signal but dont problen with stability in 2.4 or 5ghz wifi (aosp extended 8.1)
I own the 8" LTE model (SHT-AL09) with stock ROM, unrooted and with locked bootloader. It originally had the EMUI 8 firmware SHT-AL09C636B196 (Oreo 8.0.0.196) but a few days ago I got an OTA and decided to upgrade it to the official EMUI 9 firmware SHT-AL09C636E2R1P2161 (Pie 9.0.1.161) and now 5Ghz WiFi networks don't work anymore.
Before the update, WiFi scan showed dozens of 5Ghz WiFi SSIDs in my area, including my own one, and I could connect to them without issues. Other apps such Wifi Analyzer also showed dozens of 5Ghz WiFi networks.
After the update, I can only see one distant 5Ghz network but not my own one. When I try to manually add my own 5Ghz SSID I got the error message "Unable to find MySSID".
It seems it is a hardware/system issue because Wifi Analyzer has also stopped showing all 5Ghz WiFi networks but one. I've used the mobile Hotspot feature of my other Android devices to rule out my router being the problem, but the issue persist. Needless to say other devices in my household (Android, WebOs, Laptop, ...) have no issues showing or connecting to my 5Ghz WiFi networks.
I can see many people having the same issue months ago when they updated their Honor phones, but so far nothing affecting the Mediapad.
Am I the only one with this issue? Any suggestion regarding what could I try to fix it?
Did you already try to change the channel on your router? Probably the channel you configured is no longer supported. This at least would explain why you can see other networks on 5GHz.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was using automatic channel. I've changed it to manual and tried several channels, but the result is still the same.
this exact issue happen to me (my son's Mediapad M5 Pro). just realized it today. tried resetting the tablet's network setting, connecting manually to the router 5G wifi. all to no avail. my other devices - 2 laptops, 2 mobile phones, 2 android boxes - all are connected to the router's 5G network without issue.

I read in Reddit some people manage to "fix" it by using a different channel in the router, as @AndDiSa suggested. Try setting the Wifi channel to manual an test different ranges of channel. Try first with the lower ones (36, 38, ...,46,48 ). If it doesn't work try with the highest range (149, ..., 155 ). If it still doesn't work, you can configure your router to use another region/country with differnt channels range until you find one that works.
same here, mediapad m5 8 (SHT-AL09), wifi 5ghz not work after upgrade to pie 9.0.1.161, I think this is bug. I'm using another huawei P20Pro and Honor Play, there are no issue about wifi 5ghz and connected to the same router
Please fix it Huawei
No WiFi issues here after I installed the OTA update to 9.0.1.160.
Does it seem to be a problem for the lte versions only? Is anyone with a wifi only tablet experiencing this problem?

I've a wifi only M5 8 - both 2.4 and 5GHz wifi is fine for me on Emui 9.
Same here. I own my M5 8.4 inch LTE version and I updated to Android Pie yesterday. I tried to factory reset for a couple of times and it didn't solve the problem. I think it's a bug of this firmware version hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Try changing the WiFi channel of your router. Lower channels did the trick for me

Yes, i tried that and it can connect to it. But it is very buggy. The connection drops a lot compared to my other devices that connect to the same 5Ghz SID. It is very noticable when playing head-to-head game such as Clash Royale when the bar is about 2 bars. It just drops off and switch to mobile. I have never experience the issue before emui 9 or on other devices.
:| I might have to drop back to 2.4Ghz.
Non LTE, not able to connect to 5GHz.
Suddenly able to connect on channel 40 after changing channels a few times, which is the channel it was on anyway. Weird.
Just to add to this, it connects at 5GHz but soon defaults to 2.4GHz.
Just updated my M5 8"LTE(C432) to Pie and no issues with 5Ghz Wi-Fi band works as usuall. Must mention that after all bigger update I start from 0 so I allways do a factory reset and start from scratch. This can solve many problems
After Upgraded, my Mediapad M5 only can see 5Ghz lower channel wifi (eg. Channel 60),cant detect upper channel ( eg. Channel 157)
hello, I upgraded to Pie this week (mediapad m5 pro LTE), after restarting the tablet 5 mhz networks did not see them, I made a network reset from settings, and rebooted the tablet, now works fine. sorry for my English.

Hello, after a few days that the tablet has worked well, it happens again that 5 mhz networks do not see them. I do a network reset again and it works again ... go pretty messy.
I have a WiFi only M5 10.8 inch device, and all was working fine until the OTA update. 5Ghz does connect to router but reports no Internet. Even though it reports this I can still browse using Chrome and can search for apps in the Play store but can't update or download any apps. I can use the same router on 2.4Ghz and everything is ok, so does look like a firmware issue.
"Great" job. As usual, from working device to buggy one.
How to disable update? I have WiFi only version and there is an option to auto-download update over WiFi, which I unchecked.

I'm using Redmi note 9 pro(indian) variant. MiUi global stable 12.0.5
Recently i bought a xiaomi duel band router and i have separated 5GHz and 2.4GHz band in the router setting.
But my redmi 9 pro is showing only the 2.4 GHz SSD. Though it worked on 5GHz for few hours.
***There's no problem in the router as my laptop and other devices are working fine in 5G band.
***** I have tried changing the region. *****
I tried to manually add the network SSID and password but it didn't work.
Then i have tried to change the channel in router setting. It didn't work either.
Did anyone have faced this problem and know any solution?
This is a bug in android 11, the temporary solution is first open the hotspot and the connect wifi , wifi connected then go to wifi setting and change 'dhcp ip' into 'static ip' and then turnoff hotspot.

Sorry didn't get you. 5GHz SSID is still not showing so how can i connect to that?
