Question 5Ghz Hotspot Problems - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

Hey,
Wondering if anyone else is having problems with 5ghz Hotspot wifi tethering? I can activate the setting but I can't always connect to it with my other devices. Most of the time it works the first time I activate 5Ghz hotspot, however if I toggle it off and then back on again, it won't work anymore until I restart the phone. The UI will show me that the hotspot is active but my other devices won't be able to find it.
I've tried it on multiple roms including a fresh install of the latest default MiUI rom, all with the same problem. I saw posts on reddit claiming that it could be a UK region bug and to try change the region to France but this doesn't solve the issue either.
2.4Ghz hotspot works everytime, however is a bit slower than 5Ghz, so I'm keen to try and get this issue resolved.
Any help is appreciated.

some devices arent capable of connecting to 5Ghz wifi
some devices arent capable of connecting to a WPA3 security wifi

Yeah I understand that, however that doesn't explain why the hotspot works the first time, and never again until a device reboot.
My other devices support both 5Ghz and WPA3.

No internet access after switching between Asus RT-AC66U and data

I have no internet access on one certain wifi router (asus rt-ac66u), with my n7 lte, although I can access the internet on other routers and through the dataa connection, I can access my router management though. I did a factory reset of the router and that solved the problem temporarily but the problem came back. Just switching router/tablet on/off doesn't solve the problem
edit: well after turning on/off the n7 wifi worked but now data doesn't work when I disable wifi

If flashing the latest firmware doesn't help. You can try and change the wireless mode of your router. Log into mgmt. Navigate to your wireless settings, change "wireless mode" from "auto" to "N Only."
It's worth a try. What that will do is force N band only, whereas on auto when a g/b band connects the router switches to b/g mode, and that might mess with the Nexus. If the problem you encountered was fine with a factory reset temporarily, all it would take would be a "g or b" band device to log on to kill your n band and dumb down to g/b band.
It's not a bad idea if you don't have any b/g devices to turn off 'auto' anyways. The jury is still out on whether or not it actually benefits an all "N" environment, but it sure as hell won't be switching to G or B on you.
Those routers had issues with their early versions of firmware. They might have straightened it out by now. Upgrade it!

Try changing the WIFI channel used in your router. My nexus 10 had issues on certain channels especially on 5GHZ.
You may also have a Wifi region setting somewhere on your nexus. I remember seeing it before but can't find it right now. The region basically locks your nexus to (possibly) the wrong channels. IE. Not all euro channels work with american wifi channels

I tried different channels and connecting to 2.4 GHz only.
Help!
HELP!!
Let's divide the problem into smaller pieces - is this an N7 LTE problem or ASUS router problem?
Get another router (I use the Asus RT-N66U) and test if it works with the N7 LTE. If it does, then it's your' router.
If it does NOT work wit hth eN7 LTE, then it's your N7 LTE probably have a bad chip.
I installed the kitkat factory images and the problem still persists :crying:

[Q] Wifi doesn't work

Hi there,
Today I recognized that my wifi doesn't work. I can switch it on an there is also a massage that there is a wifi network available in the notification center. But if i open settings/wifi the phone writes no wifi networkes available.
My Z1c is rooted (KK .757) and locked bootloader.
Has anybody a idea how I can solve this problem?

This happens to me sometimes, after a restart works for me. May be next update may solve this problem
I've already restarted 3 times but doesn't help.
You can try: 1. restart your router
and 2. delete the settings for your network in your Z1C and make a new registration.
Is the problem solved?
I think no.1 will solve the problem. What a router do you? Many routers can do a automatic restart after flashing DD-WRT or Open WRT. These firmwares are available for the most routers.
greetings
What do you mean with 2.??
I've already tried to restart my router. But I'm pretty sure that the problem isn't the router because I can connect with other devices to the router.
go to settings - WLan and tap long time on your network and delete it.
It does not matter, that other devices can connect to your router.
I had the same problem with a TP-Link router after few days running. A restart helps only.
Delete the network doesn't help too.

For sure you have problem with your router since low cost routers is nothing than an s***t ! I had the same trouble with an low cost router until I come back with an good Dlink DSL2740B router 5 years ago, everything working flawlesly constantly ~5 years, no wifi isues! My sugestion to you is to buy an good home router! I have plan to bye this one http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solutions/connect/routers/dir-880l-ac1900-wifi-router which will work for sure perfectly next 5 years (probably more)!
I've solved the problem already. The problem wasn't the router.
I had to wipe DATA and then my WIFI worked again.
Then I tried to restore a backup what I've made befor but then wifi doesn't work any more.
So there was something buggy with my DATA..

WiFi is unable to find any network

My Nexus 5x seems to be having problems with the WiFi. I have Android 6.0.1 MMB29V, and everything was working fine until I couldn't connect to my network. When I checked the WiFi settings, it seems that there isn't any network at all. I've seen in this forum that there have been some problems with the Wifi but I haven't found any solution to what's happening to me, cause it has been a few days and it still can't find any network.
How can I check if it's the antenna what is broken? I have no idea what can be happening...
Note: I've tried changing the frequency band, the "Keep WiFi on during sleep", the developer options of using the DHCP from Lolipop and some others...

Has it ever connected to your network or has it just started happening.
Have you tried turning your modem/router off for a few minutes then deleting and readding your network?

I used to be able to connect to three network I use, but now I can't even see the network. I don't think it's because of the router, cause with the PC I can see a lot of networks, none in my Nexus.
I may try to unlock bootloader and update to MHC19J and see if the problem is solved

I had an issue where I needed to reboot it even though everything else worked fine.
J does indeed have alot of fixes, let me know if it fixes your issue.

Connectivity issues

Hello,
I have the global version of the mi9SE and experiencing very annoying issues when trying to access certain websites OVER MOBILE NETWORK (WIFI works) which returns errors as per attached screen shots, reporting certain sites (banking particulary) as can't be found or offline.
I temporarily managed to fix the issue by changing APN settings from IPV6 to IPV4 as per a suggestion on the forum of my French network carrier. Unfortunately with the update to android 10 and MIUI 11 erased these settings and now 4g or 3g for that matter simply fails to connect over IPV4 setting after update so I’m back to square one which is immensly irritating.
I can’t work out if this is a carrier issue or a software bug. I’ve tried the following :
- Changing Sim to another phone. No problems there.
- Changing browser. Both chrome and edge are the same as well as the native browser.
- Contacting bank who tell me issue not unheard of but have no solution.
- Contacting my carrier who claim not to have an answer.
I haven’t tried another sim in the handset.
Help would be much appreciated.
Hi
I also use French carrier, bouygues, using android 10 miuimix, just tried ing website and it works fine through 4g.
Have you tried a different ROM? You should have a menu to erase connectivity data in settings may be it could help

Hi thanks for your reply. Vey strange, I too am on Bouygues network and ING website doesn't work for me.
However I must point out that it is the secure part of the website that doesn't work so logging into the "espace client" part of the account, the home page DOES work. Same for you or not ?
I don't understand how it can only be me experiencing this issue which I've had for months now despite doing a factory reset, formatting etc. I'm using the stock global rom OTA from Xiaomi. I surely shoudln't have to flash another rom to get a working phone. I take it Miuimix is a ROM you're using on the Mi9SE ? Just how stable and secure is it ?
tks
MY WIFI hotspot won't work either. It connects to the network but refuses to connect to the internet. No such problem when placing the same sim into another phone and setting up the same hotspot. Could this be a problem with my device hardware I wonder ? I haven't done anything in particular...but these issues weren't there when I first bought the device.
For Hotspot I guess it's related to Android 10 update...
Just tried the secure part of the ing website and indeed it doesn't work for me neither on 4g. But Hotspot works fine.

Great thanks so much for trying at least I know it isn't just and so can conclude an issue with MIUI and the phone. Strange how adjusting VPN settings to IPV4 used to work but now doesn't. I fear the issue is embedded into the OS and I'll probably never find a solution . Wouldn't be so bothered if this was the only site but it's not. I first thought it was just a problem with the websites, then realized it wasn't when the same sites worked over WIFI.
As for the WIFI hotspot issue, still no solution to this problem. The same sim is fine in my Motorola and connects to the internet perfectly over 5ghz band. If I try 5ghz band on the SE, windows simply reports "unable to connect to the network" and over the 2.4ghz the device network will connect but reports "no internet".
It doesn't sound as If the two issues are related from what you say. Is it possible it's the windows firewall blocking the Xiaomi but not the motorola ?

Question 5ghz WiFi Issue

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.

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..
