My only gripe with the WiFi has naught to do with these metrics. It has to do with connecting to authenticated networks (coffee shops, work, "open a browser to login" types.). I HATE how it will choose to just not connect instead of waiting for you to authenticate. Haven't phones been able to be connected to WiFi and cellular data since Lollipop or so? Why just not connect instead of holding until you auth the network? Argh. Anyway! Great, otherwise!
My phone drops wireless in my room constantly, no other device does. 2nd phone, definitely a design issue
EDIT: Forcing 2.4GHz fixes issue
Wifi is definitely stronger here than my Galaxy S7.
Maybe the metal frame is helping?

So I bought a 2013 N7 a few weeks ago, and I love it. When all is right, it's a really speedy device with a great battery in a perfect form-factor.
However, something is pretty goddamn wrong I think. I can't remember if it was like this out of the box, but i've been experiencing TERRIBLE wi-fi speeds. Like dial-up bad. My pretty good Netgear router is in the same room, not obstructed and only a few feet away. My ISP isn't the problem either. Here's an average speed test for me: the picture attached is a recent speed test. When doing my test on my laptop on the same network, it scores 20-30Mbps. The terrible results are consistent.
I've tried switching my router to 5gh, turning off wifi optimalisation, tried diffrent routers in my house, and there's no apps hogging wifi either.
Can anyone help me or is my tablet defective?
What encryption type are you using on the router? Try switching to different ones and seeing if it makes a difference.
Hi guys,
We've just setup our chromecast network. Now with 1 or even 2 chromecasts in the network, everything runs smooth. But if we switch to a bigger network with 3 or more chromecasts, the connection is really hard or won't even happen at all. Anyone experienced this as well? The Wifi is new and quite strong (with additional routers on the first floor, so the wifi shouldn't be the problem).
Thanks for the reply
This is a limitation of WIFI. The more devices you have on a wifi, less bandwidth you will have available. WIFI protocol is using air time allocation protocol because it can talk only with one device at the same time. More devices you have active, more times it will switch between them to deliver all the packages requested. If you have wifi booster or extenders, I would recommend you to grab them all, smack them with a hammer, put them in water, take them out, dry them in the microwave oven, burn them with a torch and trow them in the garbage because that is what they are. Extenders ads latency and packet loss and also is reducing your bandwidth in half before you even have a device on. Do it yourself or contact a professional to install UNIFI from UBNT or similar products. Huge fan of their gear. If you have it properly installed and set-up(not just plugged in) you wont have any problems with any devices not just Chromecast.
BTW, strong WIFI doesnt mean anything. Your wifi is as strong as the weakest device. You can have a wifi that transmits 10 miles, if your other device transmits back only 30ft, it will be 30ft max wifi range even if at 300ft it shows full bars. The best thing to do is add a bunch of AP with the transmit power on the lowest. Keep in mind that wifi 2.4 has only 3 true channels that wont overlap: 1. 6 and 11. If you set them all the same channels they will hurt them self with their own noise floor. If you properly set them up with a spectrum analyzer, to be right at the limit, you could make them all same channel and do cool things like zero-handoff. Performance WIFI requires knowledge and proper set-up not just plug and go.

wifi is bad. check wifi anlyzer put hand between router and phone camera and watch how it gets lower and lower as time passes. really sad
As i can see in YouTube wifi speed can't reach any further than 70MB/s. Why? Software? Or wifi chip sucks?

Using 5ghz I'm getting nearly 200Mbps download on my OP3. Haven't tested 2.4ghz yet.
Here are the WiFi Analyser screenshots with and without hands over back cam. I was sitting very close to the router (~1m).
came across this on YouTube

Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

I just tried it out, the WiFi signal was getting worse but not as worse as in his video. Still somehow ****ty.
Didn't the iPhone have a similar problem? People's hands were shorting out the antennas causing dropped calls, etc.
A simple case should fix the problem (really, why wouldn't you use a case anyways?). And if you don't want the bulk or whatever you can try one of those full body screen protectors, should solve the problem of shorting the antennas AND provide scuff protection.

3.1.3.
Here's a test I just ran...Netflix is streaming on two screens right now, so it's a touch lower than usual.

My router is downstairs and I am upstairs. OOS 3.1.3. 5ghz.
Absolutely terrible...Always drops out
Wifi is doing pretty okay here on 5Ghz, its dropping sometimes though.
On my previous Nexus 5X I've had much better Wi-Fi reception.
OP3 gets about -8 or -10 more on Wifi Analyzer compared to my OPO when held side by side, definitely a bit worse.
Yeah. I noticed that OP3 under wifi doesn't work really well. Infact with just 1 wall in middle of me and router the signals drops from 20mbps to 6mbps.
Bad, really bad!
Nowhere near as good as my OnePlus One, disappointingly
Yes, if one wants to point out THE one weak point of the phone, it's not the display, it's not video recording - it's clearly the weak WiFi.
Honestly I feel as if my wifi speeds have been stronger than my note 4. 5ghz is nice and speedy
My OnePlus 3 is also giving the signal strength problem, sometimes it shows only 1 bar within 2-5 meteres from the router.
I know people will say things like who holds thair phones like that or buy a new router or get closer to the router. Those should just leave this thred.
The thing is if you hold the phone where the camera is (while watching videos or playing games) the wifi signal is getting lower and i cant get any connection while playing games. This isnt the case on my s6
I want you to compare the wifi of your previous device while having the hand on the camera then go to a room where you usually have low wifi connection with your older device. And there you go.

It's the worst wiFi I've ever seen on a cell phone. I have a good router (at least I think). A tp-link Archer C20, which covers my entire home. With the Maze Alpha you disconnect a distance of 5 meters onwards. In the 5GHz band it just does not stay connected.
Bad bad Wi-Fi! It remains connected, but frequently Internet is not available: so I disable/enable the Wi-Fi button, and Internet came back.
It sounds like it always lose the DNS.

Same here. Got mine yesterday and I am wondering the bad comments. Wifi is not top top, but I have seen some other expensive devices that have much worse wifi.
My pc and phone are both same distance from the router and my phone has a better connection than my wifi dongle. Also, when I visit the regular haunts where I would fight for wifi on some phones, this phone is exceptionally better. I'm not sure why others are having problems but in my experience of different phones over the years, this phone is pretty good for me.
Currently, it's making its way up stairs, round a corner and through a corridor to my room which is connected ok, not 100% stable but until I moved my pc (netgear) wifi adaptor closer with a usb extension, it was a stronger connection, my phone if probably 5ft further away from the dongle and showing half signal while my dongle is now showing full. If I put my phone there, it goes full.
Don't forget there are other issues that mess with signals, other signals mostly.
I would suggest starting right next to whatever is broadcasting and then take a walk in varying directions and ascertaining what other signals could be messing with it.

Correct, I'm going to make a general post with my experience after day 2. I have enough technical background and experience.
Solved!
Hi,
I solved the issue! I've noticed that in office, with ad old access point, my Maze Alpha works well. And, I read that some of you have no problem with Wi-Fi. So, I thought... maybe the problem is the 5GHz?
So, I disabled it, and now the Wi-Fi works well.
Before, I had many problems standing 1 meter from access point, and in another room the Wi-Fi was unusable.
How did you turn off

I've turned off it on my access point. On the Maze Alpha I didn't find how to turn off.
