WIFI speeds when bluetooth on/off

So I got my 5x last week (comming from N5) and I noticed that websites and apps such as twitter and facebook load very slow over wifi. I did a little research and rooted my phone multiple speedtests and figured out that there is some issue where wifi speeds are slow but if you turn bluetooth on they speed up. so i tested this and its true. it does not seem to affect speedtests but it does speed up normal browsing and app performance a lot. i noticed with bluetooth off im getting about (5-6Mb/s) and with bluetooth on im getting around 50-60Mb/s (my connection is 60Mb/s).
my question is does anybody know whats going on here? And is there a way of fixing it?

I dont have any issues with my wifi reception or wifi speeds. No change with BT on or off. On the contrary my wifi speeds and reception are the best I had with with N5X than with any device before. I have two Huawei routers, 20Mbps connection and both are on 2,5GHz bands.

HI All!
I have also the same problem, but when WiFI& BT working togheter - there is no issue.....Normally, I am connected Huawei E5372 ( mobile router ). Today I connected my Nexus 5x to another router and unexpectedly...problem's gone!
It looks like Nexus 5x's radio have some compatibilty issues with some routers.
I hope Google will find&fix this bug ASAP!

Yes I also tried switching routers and it seems to resolve the issue. So I think you might be right in thinking the 5x having issues with some router radios

Max. WiFi Speed / WiFi extremely slow MIUI 8

Hi,
first of all i am on MIUI 8 (8.1.5 Global Stable) and my Wifi seems to be really slow. Sometimes i got only 1 MBps with a speedtest although i'm on a 75MBit internet connection behind the wifi router. Most of the time i reach about 8MBit and sometimes 35MBit.
The problem occured on 8.1.3 the first time and i flashed 8.1.5 via TWRP and started from scratch (wiped) but it remains the same. Maybe it's a hardware defect.
Anyway - Could you do a speedtest and tell me which connection you have and which max bandwidth you can achieve with the Mi Max?
Also i considered flashing just a new radio, because TWRP update doesn't flash radio.
So could you tell me what version is the current baseband (radio)? Just check in Phone Information. I would really appreciate to know if there is a newer radio and how to flash it safely (phone is officially unlocked).
Thank you

To begin, I advise you to test your wi-fi on several different devices. If only Mi Max will have a bad rate, then it is necessary to look for the problem and if all devices have the same speed of the Internet, the problem is in the router.

5ghz or 2.4ghz is your router using?

I also has this issue. and i found out that it happens only with specific routers (like i have in my home).
I think that i found a workaround for my home - i use Xiaomi mi adapter as a repeater and connect to it and it works much faster..

Other phones on the same network don't have the problem.

Do you mean the Mi Router for 30 USD?
What is the current radio and can i flash just the radio?

Nope,
I meant Xiaomi WIFI Repeater Amplifier: 7-8$

yes correct i am using that mi wifi extender it works great but need to configure it under mi home app

My version is 8.2.5.0 and my WiFi is slow!! It takes time to play even 144p videos in youtube .
Why it is slow ?? And what is the solution ??

I have the same problem. But I have slow DL rates at any wifi router, and also LTE. Changed many ROMs and the problem persist.

i think im having same problem.. im getting 2.8MB/s on a 100Mb network.
Speed in 4g data mode is working fine.. the problem is on wifi only.

The Wi-Fi does seem slower than other phones. I'm on MIUI 10 8.8.9 eu ROM and the maximum I can get connected to an Asus AC68 router is ~150Mb, whereas my Galaxy Note 4 does ~250Mb over the same 5Ghz 400Mb connection.

I have this same problem did you ever find a solution? Did you get a new router, cause that is were am at right now.

Yes, fixed when I did official ROM update via OTA to MIUI10 and now MIUI11. With the same router I got 300Mbps.
I have recently upgraded the router to the Asus AC86U but only for better 5Ghz range for all my devices. The slow issue was definitely the phoned software.

WiFi Issues

Is anyone having wifi issues on the March update? I'm trying to determine if it is the phone itself or my wifi AP.
Thanks!

Yep sorry. Forgot to define it. The WiFi randomly disconnects for a few seconds and connects back to the network.

I will admit the Wifi is kind of squirrely on my phone.
Not in connection but in performance.
i havent experienced disconnects accept with wifi I KNOW to be crap.
i do experience choking where nothing is moving quite often.
Does this happen to you on all networks?
I really like this app to keep tabs on that sort of thing, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicatorPro

I've had that happen before intermittently. It also happened with my Nexus 6P. I think a full wipe/reset fixed it for my phone.
You could also try to forget the WiFi connection, and then reconnect to it. That may help. I also tried power-cycling my router at home.
Good luck.

Ok so I use Unifi UAPs at my house and I have read about this issue on the unifi community forums a little but some people are saying it began happening with the February update. Apparently the claim that disabling ipv6 fixed the problem but I am reluctant to accept that as a solution. Just wanted to see if this is a broad issue or something I should take to the UBNT forums.
I have only had the phone since February (thanks verizon) so I can't comment on performance before that. Before the pixel I did have a nexus 6p that was fine on my connection but I have noticed some connectivity drops too on it recently. However I don't use it as much as the pixel so I can't say for sure.
Thanks all!

I only connect to the WiFi at my house since I have plenty of data so I'm not sure if it happens on other networks. I also wouldn't be on other networks long enough to test either since it appears to happen sporadically.

I noticed this was a old thread but curious if anyone found a solution? I'm on March 18' update and my wifi connection constantly cuts in & out. Router is a Linksys with Mediacom as ISP. I tried both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands with no luck.

Slow Wifi at home

Noticed a very slow connection when using home WiFi, my wife gets around 70Mbps using her iPhone 7 while I only get 4Mbps with my OnePlus 3! When using my workplace WiFi I get high numbers and my 4G connection is good most of the time.
I have a 100Mbps internet at home and my router is D-Link DSL-6740U maybe I need to change something in the configuration?
Currently running Oxygen OS 4.1.3 but I had this issue even before the latest update.
Help would be highly appreciated!

Maybe but it doesn't explain why I get a better connection at work or why both her iPhone and our laptop get +50Mbps while I get 4Mbps.. How can I check we are both connected on 5Ghz?

If you click on the wifi network you are currently connected to it will show some info.

Not sure.. Pretty sure Google knows!

Let's assume the iPhone is connected via 2.4GHz as well, what could be the problem with my OnePlus?

Cant remember where I read, but try and change in your router the wireless channel the 2.4GHz is running on. By default it may be set to automatic, try setting it to 7 or 11. Iphone and pc's don't have an issue with the auto channel, but some android phones do.

The wifi antenna or chip in the OP3 is awful. I can get maybe 30Mbps on it with a fiber connection. My old Note 4 has hit a Max of 560Mbps sitting right next to the OP3. Both on 5GHz. Note 4 is MIMO, OP3 is a single channel and not very good.

Don't think it's an antenna issue because I get +90Mbps on my workplace WiFi..

This indead looks like an android-wifi issue , I get the same low speed with my old Nexus 5.. I tried changing the channel to both 7 or 11 but it didn't improve the speed.
Any idea on what I should change in my router settings?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

The phone occasionally has problems connected to older routers using IPv6. This was addressed in OOS 4.0.3, but they removed the option to disable IPv6 on OOS 4.1.x. If your router has the ability, try disabling IPv6 there. If not, try following this guide and see where it gets you.

on your phone, go to settings > wifi > press menu (3 dots) > advanced > wifi frequency band > set to 2.4GHz
try resetting your router. unplug power and let it set for 30 sec, then plug power back in.

Wifi speed problem

After the last pie update, wifi speed is not good enough.
When i test speed with oakla, its almost 5mbits. If i turn off location, everything is normal. If i turn on location wifi speed is getting worse. There was no problem at oreo. Is there any solution about that problem?

Do you have bluetooth on? I found out that when m bluetooth is on, WiFi conwction ia really bad. This os only on pie.

Hello,
Do you have the same problem on your computer ? If yes try to restart your box.

I've the same problem here...
WiFi + localization on = slow wifi performance 5/7 mbits
WiFi + localization off = normal wifi performance 50/55 mbits
The problem is after pie update.

there is no difference after February 19 update. that is terrible. shame on Xiaomi

For me, it seems as the problem is not localization but Bluetooth. When I turn off bluetooth, it's normal speed and when Bluetooth is on, it drops to incredibly slow speed. Altough localization might interfere with it, because it uses Bluetooth, I don't think it's the root cause.
Also, it is not only the speed between a router and the Mi A2 Lite that is slow, but also the connection from Mi A2 Lite as hotspot to any other connected device.

For me this issue all resolved when I installed a new router at home. I know this isn't a proper solution but if you have a backup router, give it a try.

After bluetooth is off,i have fast wifi,when bluetooth is on wifi is slow speed.

Some news about a soluzion? I have same problem.

For me the only solution is to use 5GHZ wifi.

For me, it appears to happen when I use both. I used to have always localization on and bt off but recently I bought a mi band I that forced me to enable bt aswell. Wifi speeds decreased a lot since that. Now I tested and with only one of them off it works great but with both, it doesn't.

You on stock ROM, and what version?
On Android Pie (stock, at least), it is a known problem that turning on Bluetooth or GPS will decrease WiFi connectivity and also some users reported that it will decrease Internet speed too. Hopefully Android 10 and / or incoming updates will fix it but this is Xiaomeme were talikng about, and Xiaomeme + AndroidOne = bugs and Xiaomeme's 'don't care' attitude.

I tested mine. Wifi speed stayed same when i connect my Mi Band 4.
But Bluetooth increases the Ping.
