I have a strange problem. I've found the following apps to not work correctly when I connect my Sprint HTC Evo 4G (CM 7.0.3.1) to my home wireless network (Apple Airport Extreme Base Station-Dualband):
Facebook (news feed won't update)
Amazon MP3 (Can't stream music from cloud player)
Netflix (won't let me log in)
Speedtest (downloads fine but shows 0.00Mbps for uploads)
However, all features works great on 3G or on the wifi at work (a university network running WPA2 Enterprise with LEAP authentication). I've also tested it at another friend's home network (non-apple router) which works perfectly. This leads me to suspect there's something wrong with my home wifi setup. I have updated the Airport Extreme to the latest firmware and reset it several times yet the problem persists. Any ideas?

Sadly im having the same problem except with snapchat. everything else works fine on wifi except for snapchat but it works when i turn off my wifi and use my data.
Hello, I don't know if anyone has this issue. but netflix app on both my S3 and Note 8 crash when on my home WiFi but work fine on 3G. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried deleting cache for Netflix which allows me to login to the netflix app but then crashes a minute later.
It seems like it has something to do w/my Wireless Router setup at home. I even got a new Wireless Router w/no success. Anyone have any ideas?
Again the app works fine on 3G and other WiFi networks.
Thanks in advance.
I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6P. Fine over cellular data but crashes as soon as connected to my home WiFi network.
Hello,
I'm facing this issue that YouTube play store and other few apps like paytm do not work on mobile data(YouTube works fine in chrome), but they work fine when I'm connected to WiFi (any WiFi works, even hotspot created from other phone using same mobile operator)
When I open YouTube it gets stuck on loading and after sometime asks to check my network. If I want to use YouTube in app I have to connect to any WiFi network and launch YouTube app which loads within 2,3 seconds. After I do that even if I disconnect WiFi and start using mobile data for the app it works perfectly.
I tried few things when I was searching solution for this but couldn't find solution.
I also tried different rom and other network it doesn't load.
Currently I'm on RRemix 8.1.
Thanks in advance
Im using Flipboard a lot but it reloads on Mobile data but when i get home connect to wifi it never refreshes the app. And also i have this issue on another app. Its an local tv app. Same thing.

Give static settings a try in wifi, and set dns address as primary 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4
Hello one more time team
Here I'm reporting another annoying bug with my device
I have tried many time to create or make a 5ghz hotspot work
My external devices can see others 5ghz network but even when i create it with the RM5S, It is not visible.
I have done a network reset on the phone, check and unchecked the "support 6th generation" option in the tethering options and it just does not work
2.4ghz works fine
I have reported the issue via ticket but I guess will not be solved as my previous tickets
Anyone with the same issue?
Attaching evidence

some countries do not allow the use of personal 5g wifi tethering. its possible you live in one of these countries? the feature is blocked on the rom if you are in a country that does not allow it.

Hey Patrick
Thanks again for your answer
I read about that limitation in a oneplus forum but I don't really know how to check that.
Actually, i can add something to my issue
While i am reporting the hotspot issue, i must said i am able to share a "connected" wifi using the 5ghz band WHEN (Sorry for the big letters) in use an app called "vpn hotspot"
I dont want to confuse you
I dont need the vpn hotspot app to create a normal hotspot. But the default settings of RM ROM does not let me create the 5ghz connection.
When i connect to a 5ghz router at home, i can "create" another wifi 5ghz network using "vpn hotspot" app (i usually do this cause i need a vpn network for many devices)
The main problem is with mobile data. When i am not at home, the vpn hotspot app does "IS NOT" allowed to modify the system settings for the hotspot created by the rom, it only replicates the original setup and bypass the VPN traffic
So, going back to the original issue, i am not sure if it is a country restriction. I usually live.in Hungary but i am now in poland and i received the device on this last country.
I would even wonder how to create the hotspot using the wifi 6 standard as it should be supported as well.
Thanks for the feedback

sounds like the VPN software you're using is interfering with the creation of the hotspot.
if the 5g hotspot wifi works as intended using the normal hotspot settings on the phone without the VPN, then it would make sense that its the VPN app thats causing the issue.
I can create and use both 2.4g and 5g wifi hotspots, sharing my Mobile network. it works correctly. i do use DNS 66 to block adverts but thats the only VPN type software i use, and its only for black listing adverts and inbedded video adverts on sites.
so test the hotspot settings with the normal phone settings with the VPN off or uninstalled. - if this works correctly. the problem is with your VPN software. you would need to contact support for that app.
some devices do not work with wifi 6 option enabled. turning it off may increase connectivity issues.

Well. I know there was going to be some confusion.
The hotspot does not work with 5ghz even without vpn.
When i use my home wifi, I connect from my phone (no mobile data) to my vpn provider and then with another app, "vpn hotspot" (root required) i can share the vpn traffic to external devices via hotspot. When I do these steps sometimes 5ghz works, and i say sometimes cause I left the "vpn hotspot" wifi setting as default. I might change some network options there but, those options are not available for hotspot within "vpn hotspot" this is why i am blaming the ROM, But maybe you are right and there is some interference between apps. I will try to flush the settings one more time
I have flushed the rules of the vpn hotspot app and tried again. Working fine with and without vpn!
Thanks
I see.
You are trying to filter your wifi connection at home through your phones wifi and share thst connection to other wifi devices.
I dont believe it will work correctly. you're essentially trying to create a wifi repeater.
You're making your wifi chip do 2 things, and its unable to run two streams at the same time.
It state in the Hotspot settings
" Use hotspot to provide internet to other devices through your mobile data"
If you want to connect to your home wifi with your phone, and share thst connection with another device you must use USB tethering.
You risk causing damage to your wifi chip trying to force two connections on it.
using repeater apps, does cause the signal strength to degrade, (bacause you're using the same antenna to receive your home wifi and to create its own wifi. limiting the bandwith and can cause connection issues over time.
the wifi chips in android phone can create a repeating wifi signal, but they're not made to do it. normally as stock android runs when you enable wifi hotspot, it stops the current wifi connecting to create a new wifi access point. using apps to get around that may cause issues and even damage as i stated above. if your wifi chip breaks due to improper use, it will need a warranty return.
