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.

What is the current radio and can i flash just the radio?

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.
I was away from home today and turned on WiFi hotspot for a friend and forgot to turn it off and when I got home, the phone connected automatically to my WiFi network. I never knew you can have both at the same time. Is this miui related or android 8 related?
Guys i'm having a problem with Hotspot where i can't have anything connected to it for a prolonged time... I tried both 5 and 2.4Ghz but my Moto X4 and my friend's S10+ can't stay connected to it for even a second... It only works after i restart the note 8 pro a couple of times... And even then it disconnects from time to time... Any of you having the same problem?
Edit: I also tried it on two Laptops.. Still the same issue. Sometimes it says the password in incorrect and try again. But i connect with the QR code so that can't be true...
Possible interruption from another WiFi or other signals around your area. Try testing in a isolated are or use other places. It might be the WiFi channels collided.

I checked on another phone... This seems to be the issue but i will update on this once i get home. I'm almost sure i had the same issue at home.
Yup. That seems to be the issue.. thanks for clearing that up. However, does that mean I'm never going to be able to use hotspot at work.. or is there someway i can play around with the settings and fix this?
My phone is redmi note pro 8 , I am unable to connect my hotspot to any other device. I tried restarting and switching off my phone, also switched off other hotpot and wifi networks and tried both 2.4 and 5Ghz but didn't work.
for my device's hotspot there is no problem for connectivity but there is a bug where I can't see who is connected to my hotspot and only shows the number of connected devices which means I can't block users from my hotspot..
my advice try to flash again with the mi flash tool in fastboot mode.
to do so it must have unlocked the bootloader
I have this same problem for my redmi note 8 pro how to fix it
Good day to all, I have a problem with my redmi note 8 pro. I encountered an intermittent wifi disconnection everytime I use my wifi connection. I dont have a problem with my wifi internet because my wife and daughter are using it. I already reset my network, factory reset and also turned off my wifi assistant but still same problem. I also upgraded my RN8 pro to Android 10 miui 11.0.1. Is there a way to fix this problem? Can you please help me. Thank you.
Open wifi settings>additional settings>>wifi assistant/ set to off . Yan na makulet
Same problem with my RN8Pro. Keeps on disconnecting. Then don't connect automatically. At times, it shows the WiFi carrier as SAVED and don't connect to it.
I'm feeling very bad connectivity to my wifi5G at home.
i didn't change anything in the router. my last phone was redmi note 7 and it worked perfect.
now the wifi is disconnecting all the time.
I'm running MIUI rooted.
any ideas?
