Poor WiFi connectivity. - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Today, received my phone and first thing I noticed was poor WiFi speed and upon further looking I saw poor link speed on 2.4Ghz connection and my other devices including redmi note 4(mido) and redmi 4(santoni) all had link speeds of 150Mb/s up and down while mi A2 was at 65Mb/s up and down even if I kept the phone next to router. None of my devices suffer the issue. Is the issue specific to my device or anyone else facing same? Should I return phone cause I still can. Also if anyone facing same issue can you try to see if issue exist in GSI roms as well? P.S. I am on September security patch.

Did you tried 5 ghz band?

That's what I get with the 5GHz networks. With 2.4GHz I get around 2-3 Mbps up and down. Just aweful.

The speeds are ok with me its just the range that sucks even with a case on. i had to take off the case to get that bit of extra range. They have to patch this or fix somehow cause my Moto G5Plus has waaay better range than this.

Yes, I have this issue. On 2.4GHZ network the fastest Link speed on Mi A2 is locked at 72mpbs and this was the case with Mi A1 also. But on the 5GHZ network it get higher Link speed but the stability is so bad.
I am sending a feedback via the feedback app after every update so they unlock the link speed but still nothing happened.

Just checked my 2.4GHz connection. I got the highest speed since I've bought the phone at a whopping 15Mbps on a 200Mbps network. That said, I can barely connect to the 2.4 GHz network since it just keeps dropping it. On the other hand, the 5GHz one went down to 50Mbps max... It's not exactly a deal breaker for me since I can still do everything I need on the 5 GHz network, but I'm curious what can be done about it.

Hello and sorry for my bad english. I always have Wi-Fi issues with my mi a2. ROM stock, gsi....
I heve already converted it to mi 6x and always same issues ( gsi, miui 10)....

It seems my wifi got better with that new kernel no more Disconnects.

Looks like the same issue with the A1.

Return the phone and buy other, maybe poco

The reception is bad, the speed are ok. My 5 old year Galaxy S4 have better range.

I have poor speed in 2,4 and 5gh.
And serious disconnecting problems in 5gh. I finished by don't use it as all...
Perfect with redmi note 7 and redmi note 8t.

Which custom rom have best and most stable wifi?

Wifi problems or not? People without problems welcome :D

Hello all together,
I'm considering to buy this phone (actually for quite some time ). Apart from the OnePlus service (which should not be part of this thread right now) what bothers me most are the Wifi problems I am reading about.
Problem is, when reading throgh the internet, you never known whether all or only the people with problems are speaking up.
So maybe to lower mine and the doubts of others, people owning this phone could quickly post wether they do experience wifi problems or not.
Thanks in advance
My OP3T did have some major wifi issues when I first got it. Regardless of whether I connected it to my router's 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz bands, it would momentarily disconnect every few minutes and then reconnect within seconds. It wasn't a major issue for most tasks, though some games that required a constant internet connection did get interrupted. Oddly, the wifi worked flawlessly on my school's network, so I'm assuming the issue is router dependent.
Then OOS 4.0.3 was released a few weeks ago, and with it the "disable IPv6" option. I had read that IPv6 did cause some problems with older routers, but I couldn't force it off on mine. Enabling the disable option on the phone seems to have cured it of all its disconnect problems. It's working consistently now.
No problems at all.
Ever

Please report back. Would be interesting if this is some kind of definite fix
i have not used the Stock OOS Rom Was using this phone from like a month and running with custom roms tried many and i have not seen any wifi issues
I've had the one plus 3t since December and I have never had any wifi issues. I've used stock OOS and Los and wifi has always been great for me
Hello,
I'm having no problems with the WiFi, no problems at all. But I do have a problem with cellular data, it randomly turns off in the middle of a YouTube video or while browsing social media. I'm hoping they fix this in the future.
Cheers!
Wifi is pretty good... when you're sitting next to the router...
I get about 60mbits down when I'm next to the router and about 1mbit when I'm in my room. My oneplus one, my dads iPhone, my laptop and my shield tv do not have this issue.
It seems like the Wifi range is absolute crap which is really the only thing I don't like about this phone.
Thanks for the answers so far. Not as bad as I thought

I heard about the lack of speed but this is by far the slowest I read about
I just got my 3T two weeks ago. It came with Marshmellow and I immediately upgraded to OOS 4.0.3.
I am connected to a 5.GHz WiFi connection in my house and never had any problems.
I don't play games on my phone so I can't really test gaming.
I am Systemless Rooted with Magisk with a pass for SafatyNet, meaning I should be able to use mobile payments but I have yet to try.
I doubt the fact that I am rooted is making a difference in terms of my WiFi connectivity.
I can test my 2.4Ghz connection in the future. I have not done anything with IPv6 or modified anything in regards to my WiFi settings to make things better. I simply connected my phone to my 5GHz network and started downloaded apps and etc.
I hope this helps.
Didn't have any issues yet. The only thing I agree on is the poor WiFi range. I had exactly zero inhouse issues neither with my iPhone 6s plus nor with my nexus 6p. But with my oneplus, I loose connection in my kitchen, which is like 10 meters far from my router. Pretty afraid of this being persistent.

Same here
Thanks again for all the answers .
I think suppose there are definitely a lot of people without any problem concerning wifi connection drops.
The thing with the poor connection is definitely something but that I already knew.
No wifi issue for me.. Stock OOS 4.0.3 rooted
As far as I know it doesn't necessarily connected with the problems in the android device. My causing is using the same phone and as I remember he used to face some issues but later he found out that the phone works well, but he has issues in the wi-fi router he is using. To avoid this kind of problem I would like to recommend you to get acquainted with the following article 192.168.l.l login . Hope it will be helpful for you!

Mi 9T Pro LTE issue

Hey guys, I have a problem with my device. Whenever I do an LTE speed test using Google, it always selects servers in Antananarivo (Madagascar), even though I'm in Nairobi (Kenya). This issue does not occur when I use WiFi. I also experience a significant latency while using LTE, even though it's fast, which means that my network might be routed to another country. What could be the issue? Ookla's speed test always selects servers in Nairobi though. The issue was present even when my device was brand new. Help

Anyone notices 5GHz WiFi strength issue since updated to Android 10?

I'm not sure if there's only me facing the issue with 5GHz Wifi strength which is often get weak even very close to the router.
So do you find this happening with you?
I don't know if Android 10 causes the issue or just my router goes bad itself.
Please note that my A2 already runs on Android 10 with the latest patch (Jan 5) that released 2-3 days ago.
Thanks
Hello, i had the same problem and a factory reset resolved it.

Samsung Dex HDMI wifi problems

hello good evening colleagues
I have an issue that had already happened to me on my samsung S9 and now it happens to me on my s20 FE 5g
the problem occurs in samsung Dex HDMI
when using any app or game
the internet is slow and does not load or loads very slowly and disconnects me.
It had happened to me before, but I don't remember how I solved it.
this happens when i connect my HUB + HDMI adapter and start samsung Dex . Network speed drops drastically.
Hello partners
after an insatiable fight.
after buying another HUB + usb + HDMI. and HDMI 2.0 cable
the problem persisted.
until I remember that the problem lies in the internet modem.
hahaha
The problem is exactly in the channel where the modem is configured, you have to find which channel is less saturated
in automatic mode it showed me very slow.
I hope this information is useful.
since in automatic channel the speed of the s20 FE can drop very drastically (of course it also depends on the modem if it is modern or old)
Can this thread be closed?
the problem comes from android 13 update
apologies...

hello colleague
yes, you are right
my problem is with wifi usually in 2.4 ghz networks.
in online games.
It lags, in an unenjoyable way.
Since android 13 this problem arose.
At the moment I only have a router 1 band 2.4

You can try getting closer to router , also on phone go to dev settings and limit background apps to none or 1 at bottom. That usually gives a little speed boost. You can prob find a 5g router at goodwill , and if it doesnt work out of box you can go look up dd wrt for it !

hello colleague
Thanks for your reply.
I already tried everything on my Router.
With Android 12 everything was running fine.
It is a 2.4ghz router.
Already modify any type of parameter. (scope, channels, etc)
but everything stays the same.
I clarify, the failure is in online games, there is a delay.
on facebook it may take a while to load between other apps.
in another house there is a dual band router.
In 5g there seems to be no delay, everything flows fine.
but i connect to 2.4 and it starts the delays.
something that did not happen to me in android 12.

Yes 5g is faster up close . The 2g is slower also bc everything ran off 2g . Think about 2g house phones everyone had. Theres more traffic on those . 5g has less traffic which helps increase your bandwidth.
Hi,
just wanted to mention, that i have the same issue
* on a Galaxy S22 with android 13 (regardless of Dex, but whenever screen is shared via a usb-c to hdmi adapter) and
* on a Huawei P20 Pro with android 12 (sometimes, not always)
replugging the usb-c adapter always immediately solves the issue but only for a brief time.
I hit this problem while traveling and using the hotel tv to watch movies that I stream via the phone over the hotel wifi (80mbits, but when the bug is on: <1 mbit) (changing the router is obviously not feasible in my case )
Could that be a general android / kernel bug?
Does anyone have a hypothesis for a technical explanation?
The bug is not occuring on 4G cellular network. Didn't test for 5ghz Wifi
