I'm having problems with Roaming inside my house.
I have 3 aps, and op7t sticks to one and doesn't want to switch to a better signal ap while I'm walking around the house.
Does anybody have this bug or I need to do a clean flash?
AFAIK it never worked for me since I got it although I only ever used 10.0.7 version
now I'm on blu_spark r70 kernel + magisk+ 10.0.7 OOS and still no progress. I really don't want to use 3rd party apps like wifi switcher as they do use extra battery life
Yes mine does this as well. I have a Ubiquity mesh network with three APs one is slower than the other two and it will stay locked onto that one. As I move to the other side of the house I'll loose my signal for ~10 seconds and then it will suddenly pick up the closer AP that is faster. I might have something wrong in the AP settings, but thought it was interesting someone else mentioned it. Maybe not. I need to play with the setting that forces connected devices to the fastest connection within the Ubiquity controller. That may be doing it. Though I didn't have the issue with my G8 previously. It was pretty seamless.
See if your AP has an option to kick off a client if their RSSI falls below a certain threshold. I have several asus/merlin flashed ap's which have this setting. My ap's are not set up as a mesh but the above helps with roaming between them.
Do you have a real mesh set up or just different AP's with same SSID's/different channels?

My htc10 is doing a perfectly fine job so I guess it's really just the OOS settings. I've seen some other people on Oneplus forums posting the same thing, even for previous devices (like 5 series)

Mine isn't a real mesh, just different channels and same security settings.
I have a couple devices I've been testing this setup with and for now only 7t and a samsung s5 wouldn't change to a better signal ap

Thanks I'll take a look. Mine is a real mesh system. All APs at 2.4 a 5ghz share the same password and SSID my wife's V30 and two daughter's Galaxy 9 phones don't seem to have the same problem. So I'm guessing it may be the phone, but I haven't had a chance to play with the Ubiquity settings as I travel about 300k miles on business each year. It's just hasn't been a priority, but I wanted to chime in to let others know they aren't alone. I'll be home all next week so it should give me some time to look at the AP coverage map and settings within the dashboard. At first I thought it was loosing its lease or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's moving from section to section of the house covered by different APs most likely. I did see someone on Reddit(?) mention a similar issue recently. I'll try to dig into it tomorrow.
Edit: Sorry they're all the same channels linked to a UAP AC M. Unifi mesh AP.
^^Sounds like the device isn't roaming well then. Maybe wifi thresholds can be adjusted through a magisk module. I don't recall seeing anything wifi roaming related in settings.
I suppose in my case, the ap's themselves handle this. Too weak a signal and ap kicks client off.

Hey guys,
So I've had my Verizon HTC One for awhile now, and I've yet to really get it to work properly on my home WiFi network, regardless of the ROM or Radios I'm using.
I have a Cable provider at both my house and work, but each location has a different router. At work we use a Edgewater bridge/router combo, and I am able to upload/download and stream SD content okay, but never HD. However, at home on my Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 Modem/Router combo can rarely get things as simple as Google to bring up a search result. I never get a "Connection error" message, just a never-ending loading page. I've scoured the internet, and Motorolas help pages, trying to find any indication of a fix. I've attempted changing wireless settings between 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz, tried every channel available (1 - 11), as well as removing security encryption, firewall, and setting up a Static IP address, and there is no difference.. The odd thing is when I run a Speedtest, I get 10Mbps/1Mbps up/down.
The reason this has become a problem now, is I had a background data glitch and used 12GB's of data last month, resulting in a $200 phone bill (I don't usually go over 4, so I never paid attention to what was going on).
So, my questions are;
A. Has anyone else experienced this issue with the Motorola modems before, as I'm thinking about buying a separate Wireless Router as an option.
B. Is there any known fixes for this problem
I use to have the same Motorola surfboard. I had a few different issues. It would lose connection daily and it was inconsistent. I read up on it and it has several known issues. I sold it and have moved on to a Motorola docsis 3.0 modem and the night hawk router. Not one issue with any phones, tablets, or computers. No issues with htc one or one max.
Have you tried factory resetting your modem/router? Do other wifi device work ok with your router? Does your device work right on other wifi networks (not home or work)?

I've reset all the settings, both a power cycle, and a hard reset. Doesn't change.
All of my computers, my girlfriends S3, and my sisters Stellar work fine on the network. I don't go many places, so I haven't tested it on any outside networks, but the assumption is it SHOULD (in theory) work on non-Motorola routers considering it functions at my work.

Is there any firmware updates for your router. Also have you checked all the WiFi settings on phone and make sure they are default. The most important would be WiFi frequency set to auto. The problem has to be in the router though IMO. If you read around on line you will see many un pleased customers of that particular model. I would stray from Motorola routers to be honest. Even Cisco isn't the quality they used to be. I use an Asus router now and it works great. I have already burned up 2 Cisco usb wireless adapters and a d link and Cisco router. Moving to Asus was the best decision I ever made.
The fact that the phone works fine on other networks, and other devices work fine on your network leads me to believe that neither has a conectivity issue. I find it strange that browser activity is slow/non-existent, but a speed test shows good speed. What did you use to test that speed? Do apps that use the internet work at a normal speed, like the play store? Have you tried a different browser from the market, such as chrome or firefox?
The 6580 is junk. I work for a large ISP whose name begins with c and ends with t. We haven't gotten a decent firmware from moto yet. The firmware we are currently on suffers from all kinds of performance problems. Do yourself a favor and never buy an all in one device again.

I have the [Aeris?] Wireless N gateway from said cable company and it works amazing with all my devices. Upgraded from a 5 year old Airport Extreme N since it's actually cheaper to have home phone I don't even use.

That's good you have good luck with that model. The Technicolor wg from the same provider is also decent. I'm still a fan of having your modem and router separate. I will keep my blazing speeds from my r7000 using 802.11ac on this phone.

In some situations on my HTC One it has a hard time pulling internet from a wi-fi network when the frequency band is set to Auto. My One plays a lot nicer on Wi-Fi when I manually set it into 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
I just got this same modem and any time I connected my One to the network it would seemingly kill the wireless signal. I had a D-Link wireless router and the TW cable modem previously and I connected fine. My old Inc2 would cause the same issue with the old setup, never sure why it did that.
Anyway, after some searching I found a solution that has worked so far, not sure why, but I changed the LAN IP from the default 192.168.0.1 to .0.2 and no more issues, worth a try.
YMMV
I've been suffering through bad wifi connections for so long I don't know if I can stand it anymore. I have my own wifi router and 2 neighbors' all set up on my phone and I spend time in all 3 houses. My phone is pretty much NEVER connected to the right access point and I can't use internet without backing out of what I'm doing and changing connections manually. There has to be a better way.
When I get home and pull in to the garage, it connects to my neighbor's router, deezmms. When I walk in to the house, it stays connected, 1 bar, but I can't do anything until I connect to my own. If I stay in the garage, it will eventually connect to the other neighbor, sparkx, again with 1 bar and a terrible connection to the internet. After connecting to my own, if I go to either neighbors I'm still stuck on my wifi, 1 bar, no internet. And it will NEVER connect to another until I'm COMPLETELY out of range of the the first.
I tried a few apps that didn't do anything at all. I've tried different settings in the advanced wifi settings that didn't help and in some cases gave me bigger problems. I had Tasker set up to turn my wifi off when I was in the car, which got me in to the house and connected to my own wifi in at least that one circumstance but raised a bunch of other headaches (losing connection to Gopro when I start the car at races, among others).
What can I do? I'm at my wits' end here.

You could set up Tasker to connect to different wifi networks according to your location, but i guess the GPS battery drainage would become a problem then. And the locations are probably too close for cellular triangulation to work properly.
An easy solution that might work: Set the wifi networks to the same wifi channel. The interference should ensure that they cancel each other out and don't creep into the next house etc. Also make sure the routers are physically so far away from each other as possible.
Just saw this app which might help. I don't have any experience with it though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goramart.wifijumper&hl=da

I'll try that app.. the houses are all close enough together that GPS probably isn't going to take care of it. I might play with the channels but that sounds like it might end up causing headaches, too.
Also, I did move and upgrade my router and added some big, higher gain antennas. I really think I should be getting better range out of it than I am, but I don't know what else to try.

this seems more like a problem with the placement of your wifi router? i would check what your signals look like connected to your router througout the house. i would totally remove your neighbor's connections from your saved list so theres really no chance of connecting to their network. realistically your in house wifi should be the strongest signal lols..?

Our yards are pretty big and I spend a lot of time in all of them. I know my wifi is never going to reach to my neighbors fire pit. When I pull in to the garage their signal is stronger, and then I walk in to my house were obviously mine is stronger, but I'm stuck on the neighbors' unless I manually mess with it.
I have no idea how that Wifi Jumper app is supposed to work but it didn't do anything to help my situation. :\

I had same problem but I reset the phone and when it promoted me about Wi-Fi optimization upon setup again I unchecked the box... I couldn't find this in the settings though. The only way was to reset
ok so i searched everywhere for this and couldn't find a solution. i have a note 4 and it will connect to my home wifi just fine. i can search the internet on it, but facebook doesn't load and neither do certain games and the app market loads very very slowly. when i had my S4, it would do everything just fine. i was at my friends house and connected to his wifi and everything loaded lightning fast. so i know it's a problem with my wifi, i just don't know what.
my modem is netgear and my router is belkin AC 1200
any ideas on what to check so i can fix it? i suck up a lot of data lol
Do a speed test on your wifi with another device to determine if it is your phone or your wifi. How does your phone perform on 4g? Does it do the same thing?
the wifi is fine. i can browse the internet, watch netflix, etc. When i'm on my data, everything loads like it normally would.

Try hard resetting you router and before customizing it(changing SSID, encryption, etc...), test it with your phone to see if its any better.
it didn't seem to help. it's dual band and i tried on both. it wouldn't even load the google play until i switched bands.
any other ideas of a possible fix?

Yes.
I just got my VZW Note 4 yesterday and noticed almost the exact same problem. There is a little bit of info out there talking about things like power saving mode and stuff, but I noticed that my speedtest.net throughput was excellent. My next thoughts were DNS resolution or an IPv6 problem. Turns out my wireless router had a default setting with IPv6 routing enabled, but my ISP does not serve IPv6. You may notice the same kind of initial lag on Ubuntu installs (especially with certain VPS providers) where every single command you issue seems to take ages to start, but then completes quickly. I know how to deal with Ubuntu to force a preference for IPv4, but a locked down Samsung phone is a different matter entirely. Thankfully, I was able to just turn it off in the router.
For my specific router (Belkin AC1200 DB), the user interface has an IPv6 settings page, but the options they present to end users isn't intuitive. I changed my 'connection type' on this page to "Local Pass-Through Only", and my problem immediately went away. Have a look and see if you find anything similar.
Thanks, and good luck!

DUDE!! this is exactly what i was looking for. i think this fixed my issue. surfed facebook briefly and it loaded everything instantly. i'll check more as the day goes on. thanks so much man
Fixed My Issue too!
Hey Guys
Newbie here! I just wanted to say that this fixed my problem as well. I don't usually post as you can tell by my info but this was worth coming out of the dark to reply to.
Now to clarify, I too have a Belkin router AC1200 so it may be specific to those. Anyway thanks for the help and enjoy the fish!
someone sticky this! i have the same wifi issue , i am at work right now but i will try it when i get home! , i hope this works!
I am having this same issue bUT Comcast here uses ipv6 as well,I have a Belkin n1 router what do I do?
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------
never mind i disable ipv6 in my comcast modem and it seen to do the trick, any idea why this is happening?
I've been having the exact same issue on my Note 4. for the past week or so. Our router/modem is a DPC3941T from Comcast, and I can't seem to find how to turn off IPv6. This setting was under Connections > Local IP Network. If anyone could help instruct me further, you would be a great help. I'm pushing my data cap for the month as it is because of this >.<
I'm having the same problem too. The funny thing is that I went to the Verizon store to see if they could trouble shoot it and the phone did not work on their wifi network either! I realize now how to access my IPv6 settings in my router and that does seem to fix the issue. Unfortunately I cant imagine very many businesses with wifi networks will allow me to reconfigure their router everytime I want to use wifi.....
I started having this issue when I upgraded to lollipop. My Netgear C6300 AC1750 doesn't seem to have an option to disable ipv6 though. Any suggestions?
Hello there,
I am encountering a problem with my beloved N5X...
Since a few weeks it randomly loses connectivity (both cellular and Wi-Fi)
And after a few seconds (sometimes minutes) it catches the network back.
For example:
I wake up the phone for checking messages, and i see WhatsApp saying "searching for messages", no warning icons for network.
Then i try to load a Chrome page, it does not load..
After a few seconds all is getting back to normal and everything loads. (the web page, new messages notifications comes on, etc)
I tried so far:
- Reboot (after a reboot it works normally for a few hours, then problem begins again)
- Resetting network parameters (does nothing)
- Complete factory reset (had 2 weeks problem free then the problem begins again)
- Flashing custom ROM (from Google factory to last Lineage OS 15.1)
For informations:
- No VPN
- No gaming, the phone never heats up
- Good network coverage (both cellular and Wi-Fi)
- No network related apps
- The phone is 3 years old, never felt on the ground
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot for reply, and have a nice day!
I'm having a similar problem since Oreo update, but only on WiFi. On 4G network is working flawlessly but I think is due to carrier network settings on cellular towers.
Every search I made on the web to address the issue finished with a lot of posts read but no decent solution whatsoever, but the other day a reply on reddit made me think and I found a setting on my router WiFi AP section called "Unscheduled APSD (Automatic Power Save Delivery)" and since I disabled it my phone seems working better. I don't know if it's just random luck or it was really the cause of the issue but you can try.
Hope it helps.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
I searched everything on the phone that could be wrong and i also ended up that router might be the cause.
I did not found the setting you mention (i'm on Synology router) but i tried to disable the 5 GHz frequency band and use only the 2.4 GHz one.
Since then the phone works perfectly! Although the Wi-Fi speed is a bit slower..
I hope this can help you too!

I was on 2.4Ghz only since a few months but had the issue anyway before disabling uAPSD.
If your bandwidth is reduced is probably because your network is on a "busy" channel, try scanning all the wireless networks around your home (i use wifi analyzer on my phone) and see which are the "busy" channels and set yours on a free one. Bandwidth on 2.4 and 5 ghz should be the same, the pro of the first is a better (wider) coverage of the signal, mostly through walls and the pro of the second is less interference with other wireless technologies and environment at expenses of the coverage.

Well, after a few days i noticed the problem still persist even on 2.4GHz, but less than before..
Unfortunately Synology router does not have APSD option in the Wi-Fi settings.
I tried to put Protected Management Frames (PMF) on "enable - optional", that setting was disabled before.
Wait and see.
Thanks again!
Hello,
Ever since I've bought my Galaxy Watch non LTE 46mm, I've been having issues at home with the 2.4Ghz wifi network on all devices. Speeds won't go more than 18-20mbps, while on the 5Ghz I reach 350-400mbps.
My router is having these 2.4Ghz settings:
Channel 6, channel width 20mhz, mode 802.11b/g/n
All my devices: tablets, phones show the same behavior: very weak wifi speed on this freq.
Even my watch drops the BT connection to my phone in a matter of 3 meters from it, like from the couch to the desk.
I remember before having the watch that on 2.4Ghz I always got between 60-80mbps no matter the device used.
Have you rebooted your router recently? I've found that helps speeds sometimes.

Yep. I guess the only thing I can do is to try and mess with the wifi channels
That's a good idea. Maybe get an app to see channel usage around you to see what's open. A neighbor may have added things. Maybe change the PW on your router in case someone is piggybacking off it?

Well, my wifi is mac filter based, so no chance of someone from outside getting on. I have tried now with the watch turned off, speedtest returned 50mbps on my phone and 68 on my ipad. Once I turned the watch on and it connected to my phone, both devices fell to 17-19mbps.
Hi, may it be too bad reception with the clock because it is too far from your router? Is it the same problem if you put the clock near your router?

It's not about the wifi connection of my watch.It's about the fact that when the watch is connected to my phone via bluetooth, all my other devices including the phone, are having bad wifi speeds on 2.4ghz. When I turn the watch off, everything gets back to normal.
It sure sounds like an IP conflict on the network.
