I found that my OnePlus 11, when connected to the 5.0GHz home WiFi first, turned on the mobile hotspot, and the WiFi signal output by the mobile hotspot was always locked at 2.4Ghz, regardless of the mobile hotspot settings whether the AP band is selected 2.4 or 5.0. Conversely, if you connect to the 2.4GHz home WiFi first, the mobile hotspot can turn on 5.0GHz.
I asked some friends who have OnePlus 11 and tried some old devices, they all can dual 5.0GHz (WiFi+AP), I tried flash (fastboot), nothing works.
Does anyone have the same problem as me?
I am very worried that it is a hardware problem, and Europe The service center may not perform any testing and repairs on my device(from CN). sad. : (
Mine is Chinese OP11 flash to Oxygen. Working good on 5.8Ghz and WiFi 6

I have a 500cl model Zenfone 2, the Taiwan version. I'm having trouble seeing my dads 5g wifi network at his home.
The network mode is set to A/N/AC-Mixed and the wireless channel is set to Auto.
I understand there are some limitations to the channels or something in the phone in terms of 5g radio. I really don't know. I'm a total noob. It would be nice to be able to connect to the 5g wifi though. I can't even see it in my list at the moment.
The networks works fine itself, as we have a number of other devices connected already. Just can't get my zenfone to spot it.
I do not have any issue with wifi 5ghz
When i was at a friends i couldn't see his 5g ac router at all i did some research and found a old thread said to put the channel on 159 and sure enugh soon as we did it my phone was able to see it and connect. At home my phone finds my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz with my wireless n router but connected at max of 74Mbps so i did some tweaking and found certain channels the phone woudn't see the 5Ghz band anymore but at 157 found it again and connected at 150Mbps both me and my friend run ddwrt on our routers.
Try changing the channel. My phone connects to my 5GHz network automatically without hassle and will switch from 2.4GHz to 5GHz preferentially when I come in from the backyard for example.
Whenever I have both bluetooth enabled (and paired with any device) and wifi enabled, and I'm streaming music (Spotify in my case), after several minutes (almost randomly), the internet will stop working. Meaning, the WiFi icon will still show as connected, but it can't connect to anything online. I typically have to disable and re-enable WiFi for it to work, but then it would do the same thing again.
The strange thing is, my Galaxy S4 had the exact same issue/behavior. On both devices, I've seen this behavior regardless of the type of WiFi connection and/or bluetooth device (I've noticed it with my skullcandy headphones as well as my Sync in my car).
Do these devices share the same bluetooth/wireless chipset? Is it an Android thing? I'm forced to either use 4G with bluetooth, or WiFi with wired headphones. Thanks.
EDIT: this is using 5ghz Wifi.
What version of android are you on ?
carrier phone or unlocked. Some times these issues are carrier specific and non existent on others.
If you go into settings - wifi
Uncheck any option that says switch to data if wifi is unavailable.
I can confirm that this is an issue, I experience the same problem on my g4 818p

WiFi goes on 2.4ghz or 5ghz(most commonly on 2.4ghz) Bluetooth works on 2.4ghz. Unless you are 1m from router, BT is going to butcher your wlan. Had the same problem before. Solved it by buying dual band modem-router.
You could forcing different channel in wlan settings.
http://smallbusiness.chron.com/fix-bluetooth-wifi-interference-71008.html
idea here is reducing interference to bluetooth from competing sources.
- switch off wifi and use data which the OP is doing. Curious that the problems occur even at 5Ghz. Would have thought that band would be relatively immune to 2.4ghz sources.
- reduce the distance between bluetooth device and phone.
- move away from any sources of wifi interference if wanting to use bluetooth.
And now from the ppposite direction. Preventing bluetooth from interfering with wifi

Read the comments below. similar to the OP.
The key is more management of the problem rather than solution.

I'm using the Verizon variant.
this issue hunted me on all software version
Many options live
Router: Try another chanel
Router: Try only 2.4 or 5 Ghz
Router: Try only N or try only b/g/n mixed
App: Delete tunin radio
Last options send back service mainboard change.
i m facing the same problem but only when i do cellular call,
i am using realme wireless earphone , when i used to call my wifi speed gradually decrease , and after that stop working completely..,
after disconnecting the call i need to OFF and ON to work wifi again....,
My wife got the same issue with a Samsung A40 (and before with a Motorola), when using 2.4 wifi and Bluetooth connections (band and speaker for instance) the wifi is hanging. With wifi 5 it's ok. I don't have any issue with my phone using same network. It's crazy.
Hi, Can RN8pro connect on two Wifi bands at the same time? It should support dual band, but in some review is was not working.
And what maximum speeds do you have on wifi connection?

Not at the same time, I've had many phones with 2.4 and 5ghz and none have supported both conections at the same time, my speed for the 2.4ghz my RN8Pro gets a link of 86mbps, and for the 5ghz network the link is 433mbps, but I don't know if the 433mbps is the max speed that the phone allows or if the router is the one that is limiting my connection.
EDIT: However if you configure your 2.4ghz&5ghz networks with the same SSID and password in the router, when you connect to the wifi, your phone based in the signal will switch between 2.4 and 5ghz automatically.

Well Realme phones can connest on more bands of same wifi. RN8pro should be also able, but on TechTablets sad that i was not possible for some reason. I am asking if anything change with new ROM?
RN8pro shoul have also X antenas for wifi and some other tools.
In reviews, it was stated that the note 8 pro was able to connect 2 wifi connections at once. Is that true and how do you do you that?

Here is the review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIMkTL9gnrU
Redmi Note 8 Pro should have Dual simultaneous wireless network, but it is disabled in software!
Realme X2 has doble speeds in Wifi. Can dovelopers unlock it on RN8pro?
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.
I am on the June update and ever since I installed a wifi 6 AP from zyxel my S22 drops the wifi connection every few minutes. It either stays omegle connected with about 2mbits or says connected no internet (with the exclamation on wifi symbol)
I tested this behavior on S21, ASUS ROG flow x13 and Intel WIFI Ax200 (PC). All of them are wifi 6 compatible and have no issues connecting.
My 5ghz and 2ghz bands are separate SSIDs, channels are checked and selected to free channels. AP is connected by LAN to router.
This issue doesn't seem to be that uncommon though, it's probably a QS issue or hardware/firmware related...
Should I contact Samsung? Do they offer replacements that are sent before I send mine back? Because I only have one phone atm and I can't reset it without another phone since there's multiple 2FA accounts etc that I would need to transfer first.
Just as an FYI, I work as an IT specialist and I checked everything so far. This issue is not caused by me or my network configuration!
I have this same issue with my new S22 so I don't think it's a problem with your phone. I have TP-Link Omada APs with the same SSID on both bands. All of my other devices work fine, but my S22 couldn't stay connected for more than a couple of minutes. I fixed it by creating a second SSID for 2.4ghz only and connecting my phone to that one. Now it stays connected most of the time. So I guess it's just the 5ghz band that the phone has problems with.
Do you know what chipset your Zyxel AP uses? Looking online, it's likely to be a Qualcomm IPQ8072. My Omadas use IPC8074 chips which are basically identical. Maybe there's some incompatibility between the phone and this chipset? Hopefully it will be fixed in a firmware release for one or the other...
