Oneplus 3 - Issues with 5GHz WiFi?

Hello,
I seem to be having an issue with connecting to my 802.11ac router (Apple's Time Capsule). In "Automatic" mode, it connects to my SSID via 2.4GHz only. When I go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced and choose Wi-Fi Frequency band as 5Ghz it finds 0 networks in the area.
FYI - I'm on 3.1.3 OxygenOS.
Is anyone experiencing similar issues?
Best,
Mash
Edit: To be clear, I have several devices including my laptop that are connected to the 5Ghz band. I've also used a WiFi scanner in my old S6 Edge to verify that there are SSIDs broadcasting in the 5Ghz band.

I use 5 GHz network at home and it works fine with my op3.

using 5Ghz on Fritzbox, i also use diffrent ssid names for 2,4 and 5ghz and also different passwords

Thanks guys. Are both of you on 3.1.3? I'm trying to isolate the issue here...

Got a 3TB time capsule here. OOS 3.1.3 - on automatic, it only connects to 2G despite having full 5G signal, however if i switch it to 5G only, it finds both main and guest networks in that band and connects fine Try re-flashing stock rom

Thanks - I'll try and do a nandroid backup and reflash to see if that fixes the issue.

3.1.3 stock, not rooted

Check what frequency and channel width your 5ghz band is set to, one time I changed my 2.4ghz and my ps4 couldn't detect it til I changed back.

Just tried 5Ghz without issue using channel widths 20Mhz, 40Mhz, and 80Mhz.

Thanks guys. I wonder if I've got a lemon.
I've just reflashed 3.1.3 and even then can't find or detect ANY 5GHz SSIDs. This is so frustrating.
I guess a call to support is the way forward.

Check if you are able to connect to a different 5GHz Network. It _might_ be an issue with the router itself.
Mine OP3 connects to 2.4 and 5 without any problems (TP-Link Archer C7).

Try going into advanced wifi settings and setting your network mode to 5ghz only. Inconvenient but will do the job.

WiFi Issues

Is anyone having wifi issues on the March update? I'm trying to determine if it is the phone itself or my wifi AP.
Thanks!

Yep sorry. Forgot to define it. The WiFi randomly disconnects for a few seconds and connects back to the network.

I will admit the Wifi is kind of squirrely on my phone.
Not in connection but in performance.
i havent experienced disconnects accept with wifi I KNOW to be crap.
i do experience choking where nothing is moving quite often.
Does this happen to you on all networks?
I really like this app to keep tabs on that sort of thing, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicatorPro

I've had that happen before intermittently. It also happened with my Nexus 6P. I think a full wipe/reset fixed it for my phone.
You could also try to forget the WiFi connection, and then reconnect to it. That may help. I also tried power-cycling my router at home.
Good luck.

Ok so I use Unifi UAPs at my house and I have read about this issue on the unifi community forums a little but some people are saying it began happening with the February update. Apparently the claim that disabling ipv6 fixed the problem but I am reluctant to accept that as a solution. Just wanted to see if this is a broad issue or something I should take to the UBNT forums.
I have only had the phone since February (thanks verizon) so I can't comment on performance before that. Before the pixel I did have a nexus 6p that was fine on my connection but I have noticed some connectivity drops too on it recently. However I don't use it as much as the pixel so I can't say for sure.
Thanks all!

I only connect to the WiFi at my house since I have plenty of data so I'm not sure if it happens on other networks. I also wouldn't be on other networks long enough to test either since it appears to happen sporadically.

I noticed this was a old thread but curious if anyone found a solution? I'm on March 18' update and my wifi connection constantly cuts in & out. Router is a Linksys with Mediacom as ISP. I tried both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands with no luck.

5ghz wifi connection?

Hi all, I can only connect to 2ghz wifi, 5ghz wifi does not appear at wifi settings. I remember when unbox the phone I connected to 5ghz wifi, but now no. I'm dreaming or anything goes wrong?
Edit: done a reset in recovery mode and 5ghz wifi appear in settings. I will not restore a previous backup
Edit2: I finally found what happens, if you untick the 5g in SIM settings the 5ghz wifi band stops working. And if I active the VolteHD I can't identify the contact.
Edit3: No working 5ghz wifi after 10 minutos standby.
Best regards.

Ill tried this but didn't work more than 10 min.
Any idea why this happens?

Yesterday, I did a safe reboot to the phone and I got some hours of 5GHz band connection without issues.
Today, I turned on the WiFi on the phone (I sleep without it activated), and connected automatically to the 5GHz band.
But after 30 minutes has passed, the problem showed again (no 5GHz band, no 5GHz neighborhood bands).
My old phone still reach them and can connect to the 5GHz networks.
Really annoying bug. Also, it seems it's nothing related to the 5g button / mobile network settings

I'm connected to 5ghz just fine, however personal hotspot only works on 2.5ghz.

Hi, global or CN rom? mine is global 8g128gb

you are the only man in the world! check in properties of the wifi the speed and you will see that is connected to 2.4ghz. Only one question more, do your wifi have two ssid, XXXX and XXXX5g? or the ssid is the same for the two bands?

I have two ssid, and i have two passwords for each ssid. In my home only works WiFi 5ghz and i have the mobile data off. If i'm the One i don't no, but is true for me the WiFi network os perfect for now.

Guys I'm on North America version 3.08 and I have no 5ghz Wi-Fi issues at home. I have 5G enabled and my VoLTE / caller ID is working perfectly on T-Mobile as well. My Wi-Fi has two ssid, XXXX and XXXX5g with the same password.

I have the same problem with 5ghz wifi. It happened randomly from time to time in not able to find and 5ghz ssid. The only way to make it work again is to restart the phone and my phone will be able to see and connect 5ghz wifi.

I also have no problem with 5Ghz WiFi issues. Mine is NA/Asia version 3.13 8/128 variant.

Similar issue 5ghz hotspot
I did not have problem connecting to 5gh wifi, but i had another issue where my other devices supporting 5ghz band could not detect my 5ghz RM5G hotspot. I found a solution in this website for another problem but it solved this issue. Just switch the sim from slot 1 to slot 2 and restart the phone. This fixed the problem for me and all my devices detected and connected to the RM 5ghz hotspot without problems. Maybe this would work to make the RM detect the 5ghz wifi.

Question Pixel 6 Pro keeps losing 5ghz WIFI connection

My wife's pixel 6 pro keeps losing the ability to connect to 5ghz WIFI. When this happens the phone will not even see the SSID's of those networks. The only fix for this is to reset all network connections. This will happen several times a day. When it does the phone will fall back to the 2.4ghz network and no 5ghz networks will be listed. Is anyone else having this issue or know of a permanent fix? I don't have any battery saver options enabled and adaptive connectivity is turned off. This started on the November update and has persisted through the January update. Her phone is non rooted stock. I probably should have RMA'd it sooner but I was hoping the January update would fix the issue but no dice.

This may be a possible solution, if you have access to the configuration settings for your wireless router. In some cases, certain WiFi chipsets have issues with certain channels. I had this issue with my Pixel 5 when I had the 5GHz network set to use channel 149, but when I changed to another channel

I haven't thought about that because my 6pro isn't having the issue. It's just doing it on my wife's. I'll give it a try though. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have the same problem! It also catches very poorly ..

Since the February update, my WiFi turns itself off constantly. Almost every time phone is off for more than 5 mins. I didn't have any issues prior to Feb update, so it's been a major annoyance to deal with. Yesterday I worked with TMobile to convert my physical SIM to eSIM, and I haven't had the issues since. Which is odd, but something I wanted to rule out after trying every adjustment. I have the unlocked P6P and if anyone is experiencing this issue, then maybe converting to eSIM will help you too!
My home network is WiFi6 and I'm connecting to the 5GHz signal. Though connecting to the 2.4GHz made no difference to the issue overall when it was happening.

Its a bug. Don't RMA until you've re-flashed using the Flash Tool. I know it sucks having to do this, but you'll have to do it anyway if you get it replaced *and you'll be without a phone etc. backup your data (settings, system, backup) and files, and use the Flash Tool to "wipe and force flash partitions, along with re-lock bootloader"
here's the link:

There's also 12L which is much more stable then regular 12 version, link to flash that is here:

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.
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..
