Hi there.
I have a new A52s on my hands.
I noticed awful wifi performance, both on speedtest and in ping values.
To say...20ms to ping my router on wifi6...that's just bad.
Anyone with same problem?
I bought one yesterday and it's having ping and packet loss problems.
can you share the device model number and the software version?
you don't have any obstruction between the phone and the wifi?
nothing is updating or such from the phone?
seems like you know a thing or two about testing but just confirming the test settings...
My access point does not support wifi6 but I have not noticed any problems. Speed is fine, ping 14ms (through a wall) and no lost packets.
I use a wifi6 router and there is no packet loss. Ping is always normal.

I never had problems with my Galaxy note 2 when it came to wifi until I stayed over my mother's house.
My Galaxy Note 2 constantly kept disconnecting, and reconnecting to her router.
I clicked forget network to monitor the signal strength. There was full bars and the signal never got lost.
So I did what a normal user would do. GOOGLE. And I saw A LOT of people experiencing this issue.
Yet there was no solution to the problem! Everyone is hoping to see an update and blah blah.
So I decided to try to figure the problem out myself.
I thought about it. What's different between my mom's optimum wifi vs my Verizon FiOS wifi.
My router has one network name.. Wait my mom has two? Hmmm...
DX20PR.. *disconnects*......... DX20PR 5G *connects*
WALAH! No more disconnecting and reconnecting.
Moral of the Story: If your Galaxy constantly loses wifi signal, check if your router has a '5G' signal, connect to that instead.
Why this works? idfk. But it solved my problem, and hopefully this will solve someone else's problem :good:
If you have AT&T Smart Wifi installed on your phone then that's been known to cause problems also. I had constant wifi connect/disconnect problems until I uninstalled it.
wifi issues set router to use one channel only
I had disconnects a lot as well until I changed my router setting to use only one channel.
I've seen this problem on multiple phones that I've had. A quick restart on the router always fixes it. Lead me to believe it's the router

Make sure you mom's router isn't set to lower then 50 DHCP Address: EX. 192.168.0.50
Sign into the router usually 192.16.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 from web browser. Go to DHCP Setting and make sure you see 192.168.0.XX (XX being the amount of device that can obtain a ip address to get access to internet). If it lower then 20 change to 50 or little higher.
Hope this helps
If my WIFI security is using WPA2 my GN2 will lose internet connectivity after some time of the screen being off. The only way to get it back is by turning off WIFI on my GN2 and turning it back on. I don't have this problem using WEP security in the router. However, using WEP security is less secure and severely limits WIFI speeds (can't use N speeds).
[Updated on 01/29/13]
I just want to provide a follow-up to this. I recently learned about the ARP table in my router which is responsible for mapping the IP address to its MAC address. If my GN2 doesn't access the internet for a certain period of time its IP address is removed from the ARP table and I have to toggle the WIFI on my phone to gain internet access again. I found that manually adding the IP/MAC address of my GN2 to the ARP table solved this problem. In a 24-hour period I've lost internet access 1 time after about 7 hours of inactivity (I was sleeping) and I gained internet access after a few minutes without having to toggle WIFI. I'm only sharing my own personal experience with this issue in the hopes it will help others. Below is the command I used to manually add a static entry into the ARP table of my router (model: Buffalo WZR-HP-G300N, firmware: DD-WRT):
arp -i br0 -s 192.168.0.101 38:AA:3C:85:1F:7C
I have WAP 2 and I don't lose internet connection. Yes I have a small delay when the SN2 wakes up but it connects right away. Go to your wifi setting and hit forget this network and re enter your pass key and see if this might help. You might have another device using the same ip address.

This did the trick for my father-in-law who was in town with is AT&T Galaxy Note II. His wifi kept turning off/on and disconnecting from my router and I couldn't save the network connection. My router is setup with an N network and a B/G network both with WPA2 , and he couldn't connect to either without the issue (everything other wifi device had no problems). I didn't uninstall the "AT&T Smart Wifi" just went into Manage Applications, stopped the services/application it was running and disabled the application. Immediately the phone was able to connect and keep connection with no problems. I didn't need to restart the router or do anything else.

Was starting to have a panic attack at work as it would not connect at all to my WPA2 network and i just bought this phone of craigslist. Your advice of removing that crappy program fixed everything! Thank you!
I have just bought a new moto Z2 play, everything is great but the wi-fi disconnects and reconnects too much when i am in the next room. I had moto z play earlier and it gave me no problems at all.
I have reset the networks, forget wifi and started fresh, restarted phone in safe mode, restarted router and still facing the issue.
Any perfect fix/solution please?!
What network ? 2.4 ? 5 GHz ?
For me 5GHz is much faster at least, they are both stable but 5GHz is noticeably better.
What AP are you using ?
Last time when I had frequent disconnects on Android device, it was due to incorrectly set security parameters on the WiFi AP.
IM facing the same issue
I have the same problem on latest version. The connection to my 5 GHz network at home is just bad. It's not great on 2.4 GHz too, but 5 GHz is just a desaster. It's slow, often can't transport anything and very often just disconnects and then it takes an eternity to reconnect. Most of the time it won't even show up in WiFi list, but very often it at least still shows up when checking with WiFi connection manager. Then it's still there at about -70 to -60 dB which should be more than enough for a stable connection.
And like the op I can confirm I had absolutely no problems on the first gen Moto Z play.
My router is a "Fritz!Box 6490" by AVM (Not known much outside but everyone that understands a thing about routers they will recommend that company since they make the best non-business routers you can get here) and I don't think there can be any problem with it since the Z2 play is the only device having any problem.
I can't use 2.4 GHz at home which I can understand since that frequency band is just too crowded, but I put my 5 GHz network in the highest band possible, the next WiFi signal is about 7 bands lower. The only signal using the same band is the guest WiFi of the router but there is no traffic at all on it.
The router UI seems to confirm that there are problems. It shows my phone's connection with a signal strength of about -90 dB while the phone itself reports about -65 dB. And while the router UI shows a momentary data speed in the hundreds of Mbit/s for my laptop (which also maxes out at 802.11n, so no ac), it mostly shows one under 10 for my phone, that only changes when I'm doing a speedtest, but not much
It's there any hidden WiFi setting for Android that could be altered or anything to make the connection as robust as it's supposed to be?
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!
anybody else notice that the wifi on our a50's connect with only a single beam which means it will have half the link speeds a router usually is capable of in my case it's 72Mbps and 150Mbps on the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands respectively.
additionally the throughput of the wifi is much lower than my other devices. I do have 100Mbps+ broadband connection and from the a50 I can only strain as much as 50-70Mbps at any given time even over 5Ghz wifi.
on the other hand my note 5 and another cheap lenovo phone I've connects to the same subject network at home with full 150Mbps and 300Mbps and maxing out the throughput if I do a speed test.
I'm not sure if this is a hardware limitation or a firmware / kernel issue. but it's some what disappointing.
also anybody else notice the phone app being sluggish ? apart from the overall lag on the app one thing that bothers me most is whenever I receive a call the screen takes about 3-4 seconds to turn on so I hear the phone ringing but I've no idea who is calling and I would have to wait.
the design of the app on the call screen is rather not easy to use I still can't figure out for the life of me while ur receiving a call it goes to full screen and no way to actually ignore it and jump to another app.
please share your experience regarding these and any possible workarounds or fix.
Regards,
Yep the Phone App needs an immediate workout. The App UI is super laggy for both the incoming and outgoing calls. Both the times, the dialer UI is super late to respond. However, i have no complaints wrt to Wifi. I get full 95mbps UL/DL on 5Ghz and 75mbps on 2.4Ghz with my 100mbps connection. Its more of a Router thing.
My phone connect only at 72Mbps when I have 300Mbps N/ac router. Real internet connection is around 40-50 MB/s. This is only in 2,4Ghz. At 5Ghz is more then 200 Mbps.
There's is any way to increase 2,4Ghz speed ?
Bump.
Recently the phone app freezes for 20-30 seconds after I dial a number. This is an issue as sooner numbers are waiting for further number presses to navigate a menu and sometimes the lag is so bad that the menu times out before the app actually can respond to number pad entries.
Hanging up consistently consistently takes 20s during which time the phone is entirely unresponsive.
Update: have removed phone privileges from a while bunch of apps and deleted a few. But I think the thing that made the difference was disabling the pre-installed Facebook app. Phone is working as usual now.
I bought a Poco F4 (global version, xiaomi.eu 14.0.5.0) about one month ago, I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever, save for the fact that it suddenly won't detect my 5ghz WiFi networks (my main router + a repeater) - and I'm not even sure if this is an issue with the phone itself.
I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, which was known to have this issue, but to have this happen on 2 different phones is really weird. If I recall correctly this issue started to affect me after I changed my ISP.
The only ways I have to detect the networks again is to go the debug mode and use the WiFi Sniffer Test Tool or reboot the phone, which was more or less the same thing I had to do on the S20 FE (I had to go turn on airplane mode try updating the firmware via debug mode).
What I've tried so far to solve this issue:
1. Changing the channel of the 5ghz WiFi
2. Changing the bandwith from 20/40/80 to 20/40
3. Setting "Use Device Mac" on the phone's network settings.
4. Turning off WiFi Scan Throttle
5. Changing the bandwith to 20
All of the above methods, save for the last one, did not work. And while it does work, it limits the speed of my internet to bellow 100mbps.
The issue is not related to the WiFi coverage as well since it only happened when I'm on my own room, which is where my router is located.
I don't know if I can detect other networks apart from my own since even when they 5ghz detection is working I can't find any of my neighbors' networks. I'm unable to create a 5ghz hotspot on my S20 FE or on my old Redmi Note 9S for some reason.
I'm at a loss on what to do, it happens on both stock and xiaomi.eu, at least and at most once per day.
If anyone else is facing the same issue or has any suggestion on what I should try next please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I have no problems with 5G Wifi on xiaomi.eu rom
All the time 300Mbit/s
Buy Wifi6 router
This doesn't look like a problem with the phone (s).
Try connecting to another router to see if you have the same problem.

Are they on any specific channel/bandwith?
Both of mine are WiFi 5 though.
Thanks for the reply.

Thank you for your input. I'll try to turn on my old router when the issue happens again. I find it odd that the issue affects both my main router and the one I use as a repeater, but everytime I made any slight change on the main router, the other one's signal almost immediately disappears to apply the changes as well, so it's probably that.
mode: 802.11a/n/ac/ax
channel: 48
bandwith :80MHz
I'm using Tenda TX3 Wifi6 router.
No issues at all. Great internet speed on wifi connection.

The problem is indeed with your router + repeater setup. Your phones are fine.

Thank you! I'm almost certain that the issue is that the bandwith isn't fixed at 80mhz, it's 20/40/80mhz, and when I had the bandwith set to 20mhz I didn't had the issue.

Thank you! It's probably related to the bandwith. I was able to turn on an old router and my phone was able to detect the 5ghz network after the bug happened and my router + repeater signal was missing.
Have you tried resetting your router to the default settings? Or maybe set a specific IP address on your phone in your home network? As said above, it is a setup issue of your network most probably..
