Yes you can, you need to unlock your bootloader, put your phone in EDL (fastboot oem edl) and flash the firmware with MiFlash

You can lock the bootloader in MiFlash, the option "flash all and lock" or something like that.
I had also updated my phone to pie using vpn and now there is some problem in my wifi range. Wifi doesnt work as good as it used to in oreo.
I also have serious wifi issues since I updated to Pie. Specially with 2,4Ghz band when i go to a zone away from the AP. Although the signal is still pretty strong, the wifi radio keeps connecting and disconnecting. It's very frustrating because it didn't happen with my previous phones and it doesn't happen with other phones from family members or friends, even if the devices are low end.

Settings > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi preferences > Turn off Wi-Fi automatically
No, the culprit is not the wifi power saving feature. This problem is totally different and it only happens with the 2.4Ghz radio. Anyway the setting you say seems to be removed in Pie.
Edit: Problem solved.
It's this setting --> Enable Wifi automatically. I don't know what it does precisely because the name and description is misleading. I disabled it and wifi now works like charm.
Thanks for the clue!
Edit 2: Wifi power saving still works as it should, disables wifi when there's no net activity with device locked. So far, so good [emoji11]

That's WiFi AI, Android Pie is entirely based on AI predictions, it works great for brightness and apps once it's trained, but it's a pain when it comes to connectivity, it needs further enhancements.

As stated in title my WiFi randomly switches off even while in use. I'm on .163, L29 and have nothing modded or rooted.
Anyone have similar problems?
If it does matter: it's a European device.
Have you checked if you have enabled the Wi-Fi + option? it seems exactly the behaviour of that option
It's enabled but it not only switches, it turns it off so that it doesn't connect automatically again.
Didn't has the behaviour on EMUI 8

Well, that's not entirely true. It also stores the location of known WiFi networks and enables the WiFi again when you come to that location. So there might be something wrong when it stores the location or your phone location get updated by network and not GPS.
See what happens if you disable the WiFi+

Maybe I should factory reset my phone, didn't do it for the firmware update so far..
Right now it works, it's not very repeatable

So, did you turn off WiFi+ or not?
This is very inconvenient. If I disconnect from WiFi or LTE, then reconnect, apps do not detect the netwoork unless I reboot first. Has anyone experienced this problem or have a solution?

Have you tried changing the Wi-Fi band on your router ?

Never thought of doing that. I don't think that would be a complete solution though, because on LTE the issue still exists; it is not just a problem on WiFi.
Are you using some extreme power saving options/solutions/aps etc etc ?

Last nite I installed the OTA update of android 9. Since then the problems have been non existant. I will continue to update this post, and try all the tips I have been offered, if the problem returns.
I found the source of the problem. The VPN I use was preventing the apps from accessing the Internet.
Hello,
I get the message 'Internet may not be available' when I connect to my works wifi. Anybody has come across it?
The wifi router is an Asus AC-1200 running stock firmware. At home I don't have any issue with Ubiquiti AC Pro access point.
I am running stock Oreo firmware on SM-N960F/DS.
Thanks
Yes and all kinds of other issues like. Tethering to my iPad. Keeps kicking me off the hotspot from my phone. It happened with beta so I went back to oreo. I thought they would fix it in the official release. But no. Back to oreo for me.
If it is work wifi does your device has to be white-listed before granted access?

No, the device does not need to be whitelisted. The wifi works with the screen on but when the screen is off it disconnects from the wifi. Fortunately, I have access to the work wifi AP and i disabled the 'power save' option which seem to have helped.

Hello all,
Recently i went to make a hotspot for my cars radio since the WIFI antenna doesn't get a good signal and i did not have the option to share WIFI. The only way i would be able to make a hotspot was to add it to my plan.. Which im not gonna do obviously since i only use it very often... Was this feature removed? I'm running Android 10 on ATT. It worked a few weeks ago... Any help?
Maybe some screenshot can help the other to answer for your problem

if youre running stock firmware, it doesnt shock me that your providers CSC locked out the native wifi sharing. If you flash the U1 firmware for your device (ubranded, directly from Samsung) then youll have that option again. I did that exact same thing on my S9

2 questions...
1. Where can i find these "u1 unbranded" firmware?
2. Would this affect anything on my phone from my provider? such as data.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry... you're right a SS would of been useful.
As you can see no selection for WiFi share. Also, i need to disable WiFi in order to hotspot now.
IT is there, just a bit hidden...
Goto Settings... Connections... Mobile Hotspot and Tethering..top on the left of the Mobile Hotspot Toggle line (just tap the M of Mobile)... click on the 3 vertical dots on the top right...... voila... Wi-fi Sharing shows up!!!

yes, you have to turn off wi-fi before you can run your own hotspot, it probably just did it without alerting you to it before. These devices only have 1 wifi radio and it cant use one wifi while producing its own also
here is the U1 firmware should you decide to flash it. doesnt sound like its strictly necessary as others might have found a solution for you, but here it is anyways

Appreciate all the information.
What is the benefit (besides getting rid of bloat on the phone from ATT) for using the u1 firmware?
That's about it. Well that and the boot animations and so forth as well

Since the most recent Samsung update I haven't been able to use hotspot either. I'm hoping to find a way to downgrade.
Hi,
After a while, as soon as I am out of wifi coverage, the wifi turn off itself without me doing anything.
Once back under wifi coverage if I must think to reactivate wifi else I needlessly consume my mobile DATA ...
What to do?
Thank
Some android apps causing this issue ! Find it and remove it.
Hi, I would suggest to remove your WiFi connection from your phone, restart it twice and reinstall it, including network name and password. Maybe that will solve your problem. Regards, kuzibri
Do you have this option enabled?

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm always forgetting to turn it back on, and using loads of mobile data.
This problem might casusing due to some application which is conflecting with wifi settings. advice to re install the applications and then test. Factory reset can be done after this step. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. But these solutions seem to be for a different issue, they have the WiFi randomly disconnecting. The issue I have, is the WiFi turning off, as in the WiFi toggle is turned off, it connects fine and is stable when in range. But when I leave range the toggle changes to off. I'd a assume it's either a bug, or a battery saving feature, but regardless I don't want to have to toggle the WiFi back on everytime I come into range of my WiFi.
