Since the last month i have been facing this strange weak wifi strength issue which causes frequent dropouts and doesnt even connect at times. Now the phone is able to connect to my router if and only if i am in very close proximity with the router. I cant even use wifi at my home now, whereas other devices in my home are able to use it at long range.
I have tried switching between roms and updating bootloader from MJ5 to ND3 (kitkat) which has not helped me one bit. Can anyone provide me with a solution for this?
Hello All,
like other people I'm facing wifi disconnects when the phone screen is off. When it happens the phones switches to LTE although wifi signal strength is good. Of course wifi options are set to "always on". I had these wifi drops with the original OOS and with the official CM13 ROM. I assume both use the same wifi driver in the kernel.
Did anybody had the same issue and found a ROM which solved the problem?
Any help is much appreciated!
Freedomos seems to be stable with good wifi performance. Orion is also very good with connectivity.
I am facing some really frustrating WiFi issues in Lineage OS 17.1 nightly March 16th build on my Moto G3 osprey. I have been facing WiFi disconnection and slow WiFi speed issues on in the February build so I tried upgrading to March 16th build but it is still not fixed.
WiFi connects fine after the boot but after disconnecting it, WiFi status is showed as 'Saved' and it takes to several attempts to connect, even when it does the speed is awfully bad and the it disconnects at random times.
How can I fix this ? This is really frustrating.
I think I may be experiencing something similar to this, but not sure whether the culprit is the "WiFi Privacy Police" app I use. (The objective of which is to keep WiFi disabled unless you are in a location near a trusted access point)
I don't have issues like this on my OnePlus One running CM13. (And also using WiFi Privacy Police) But on my LG G4 on Lineage 14.1, it doesn't seem to want to connect after boot unless I manually go into WiFi settings.
Sometimes I don't even need to select an AP there, just opening the WiFi settings page seems to get it to connect most times.
There were times I saw WiFi disconnected after an extended sleep period but I haven't seen that issue for a while now. I'm on a March 7 build.
Is anyone experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues after updating to stock Pie? I have been experiencing several connectivity drops on my home network when everything else on the network stays online. It worked perfectly pre-update.
I've only been on PIE for about 12 hours but between my home Wi-Fi and work I haven't experienced any drops.
Seems to be magisk that's causing the issues. I ran the magisk uninstaller in TWRP and haven't had any drops since.
Hello Folks,
In summary, the WiFi stack on OnePlus 11 is quite unstable compared to other smartphones (that are also based on Qualcomm SoC with built-in modems).
First off, I've two 802.11 AC (WiFi 5) routers. Compared to my Asus (ROG 5) and Motorola (Moto G 5G Plus) phones, I've noticed that my new OnePlus has better reception for both mobile and WiFi networks. E.g., at the same location where ASUS has say -30db signal, OnePlus 11 shows -27 or -28db. So performance wise, it's fantastic, however, stability of WiFi connectivity is subpar. Between performance and stability, obviously I always prefer stability. I've up-to-date OnePlus 11 CPH2449 device (CPH2449_11_A.08).
I've been using the phone for about 5 days & these are the three distinctive WiFi problems with OnePlus 11 that I've observed in that duration:
1. WiFi dieing silently:
I've seen many times that all of a sudden the WiFi symbol will disappear. Then checking the status of the connectivity will show that it had silently dropped/died. Sometimes, it'll reconnect on its own within 10 odd seconds. When it doesn't, then toggling WiFi off and then on may help. When even that doesn't help, then toggling airplane mode on and then off becomes necessary/only-way to re-establish the connection. During these episodes, the phone is barely 2 metres away from the routers with a clear/unobstructed line of sight with them. Needless to say, neither ASUS nor Moto exhibit this problem while these episodes are playing out with OnePlus 11.
2. VoWiFi dieing silently:
While operating the phone (non-phone-call situations), a number of times I've seen that the VoWiFi logo would drop and VoLTE logo would appear. Interestingly enough, within a matter of 10+ odd seconds, it'd re-establish the VoWiFi connectivity on its own.
3. WiFi not roaming efficiently:
When moving faraway from one router and close to another, it doesn't roam to the closest one, instead holding onto the furthest one. But putting the phone down for say a minute with the screen off, triggers the roaming to the closest router! WiFi assistant neither helps nor hinders this behaviour.
In short, it'd seem the whole WiFi stack is riddled with stability issues. I've done "Reset Network settings", which didn't help with those issues.
Am I the only one facing these issues?
Thanks for any help/guidance.
Wifi Issue
Anyone have wifi dropping off and reconnecting after flashing to oxygen os? I seem to keep experiencing this. Anyone have any fix?

No issues with Wifi.
Just downloaded over 130GB over Wifi and ftp server on the phone without a single interruption. Took over 3 hours and no problem.
I have similar issues. My wifi will randomly drop out and then pick up again in that time sometimes it will say internet offline. I've been noticing it the last week or so when that happens.
I've escalated my problems to OnePlus support. After a number of discussions, I think we got the winner: Disabling ipv6 in my WiFi network seems to stabilise it!
I've been trying this only for the past few hours, but it's proving positive so far. Still I'd prefer to test this over at least a day or two.
I've had WiFi just stop working finds no networks. Even turning the toggle off and back on again doesn't work. But after a reboot works fine again. Mines a euro model on fw09

I've seen similar behaviour. Turning flight mode on and then off helped me on those circumstances. Mine too EU version CPH2449.
Now, if the root cause is identified and addressed, then it ought not to even regularly disconnect from WiFi in the first place, so subsequent problems like reconnection issues can be avoided then.
Disabling ipv6 has proven to be a good workaround for vastly improving my phone's WiFi stability. Of course, they need to identify and resolve the problem that's making WiFi & ipv6 incompatible though.
