Having some bad WiFi with my new Shield tablet.. Where my Note 3 or Tab S have full bars my Shield only gets 2 of 4... Low link speed too. I was hoping it was a software issue but not so sure anymore..... When holding the tablet in portrait, my hands hold the bottom part of the tablet, moving my hands increases the bars and then move them back and they go away. I guess the WiFi antenna is down there? Either way, it is easily blocked. Anyone else notice this?
there's a big thread over at geforce.com about it. you're not alone. 2.4 is OK-ish though still weaker than my other devices but 5ghz is terrible. where my note3 gets 108mbit 1 floor down the shield tab gets 6-12mbit and sometimes no signal at all. heck, same floor as the router and 1 room over with 1 wall between and 15ft total distance and it only manages a meager 24mbit connection when my note3 is at 150mbit and my surface3 is 300mbit. hoping its not a hardware design flaw and is just poor drivers or firmware.
Yeah its a shame really. I wouldn't expect bad WiFi signal really with any device released recently.
Maybe they lowered the mW output of the wifi to help mitigate battery drain from the gpu. That can usually be fixed with firmware, for about a 3% hit on battery life.
If antenna related, a power increase will not help much if at all. Only fix then would be a production revision.
Well I guess I will hope for the first possibility.
I might be a bit under on the battery life hit. Maybe 5% is closer. I hope so too, since was going to get the 32gb model when released.
Here's a look at Note 3, Tab S, and Shield all sitting on the router. Note the link speed on all.

Does the Shield not support ac? Dang, I thought I read it did before I bought it.
Nope only up to n
There is already a way to increase the power with the wifi optimization setting and reports are minimal if any improvement. Looking more like an antenna issue, but always a chance something else. Need to get a response from Nvidia. If they go silent on the matter, that would be bad.
Wonder if the 32GB will have the issue as well? A delay in the 32GB (beginning of September) would suggest a design revision might be in place.
I just got mine today and the wifi is pretty bad on this compared to my note 3. I tried running a test by walking away from my router with both the note 3 and the shield tablet. Eventually the shield lost communication with my router while the note 3 still was able to acquire at at least 2 -3 bars. I was really looking forward to this tablet but if I can't go to another room without losing connection then it's pretty pointless.
Damn it. This is unbearable. I can't even play modern combat 5 which requires constant connection. It keeps disconnecting.
Running wifi analyzer I noticed the connection jumps a lot. I would love to open her up to see if it's a connection issue but not sure how to. Have to wait for a tear down.
May I ask which router you have ? I had a lot of issues with one particular brand- Netgear, which is very picky in terms of devices . It works with Mac retina, but it did not work with my Vaio , Now I am using cisco ea4500 and all of my problem gone, I might be wrong but it always good to check in on other wifi-s

Netgear r7000 Nighthawk. Shield tablet is my only problem device on the network.
My Tab S does great in the same spots. This morning has been actually great though, not as good as my Tab S but it also costs a lot more so probably expected. Here's 2 speed tests for comparison. First one is Tab S and second is Shield .
Mine works fine with an older netgear router. The classic 802.11g 2.4Ghz. Same speeds as my nexus 5 gets pretty much everywhere in my house. I don't use the streaming feature though so can't comment on it.
An nVidia guy did respond to a report of that 24Mbps thing. Maybe that bug affects more than just the WiFi Analytics app.

In my case, my issue is more range. The shield has a weaker wifi.
So I received a replacement last week which had slightly better signal than my original but it had a much warmer yellowish screen so there was no way I'm going to keep that. I figured then that this has to be a hardware thing so I opened up the back and made sure all the connection for the radio was properly seated. And to my surprise it made my wifi on par with the replacement and with my Samsung note 2014. I don't recommend you open yours of course but maybe there's potential QA issue with these tablets? I recommend maybe you get a replacement from Nvidia and hopefully you get one with better wifi.
Top is note 2014, bottom left original shield, bottom right replacement.

The bars are nothing to go by really. You would need to compare db or asu in Settings > About phone > Status
Always been the same for me, worse signal reception on the N5 compared to my Motorola Razr i or Moto G....
N5 on the left and Moto Razr i on the right.
Both phones have new O2 sim cards inserted.
The N5 has been tested by the engineers at LG (nearly four weeks away for this testing / repairs). Nothing really to note on the engineers report.
I sent lots of photos with the phone and talked in detail with the people at LG over the relatively poor signal with the phone when using O2, 3 or Vodafone on the N5 compared to other phones that I have and what I would expect.
As good as the phone is it has been a let down for me with the strength of its signal capability. I have tried the different radio versions with no real difference.
There are times when it is really good but I just know there are plenty of other times when it is very poor compared to the other phones noted.

Motorola has been making cell phones longer than anyone....and radios.
Don't compare any phones radio to most Motorola's anyway.
It's safe to say the radios, or something in 4.4 have issues on the Nexus 5 regarding radio performance and reception. I can't say my signal is ever superb (t-mo MD); however I have often notice data stalls. Perhaps these are related issues?
I've started using Connection Stabilizer to resolve the data stall issues, if you check the logs you will likely see it working. I highly recommend.

You might have a point. It is just frustrating coming from a phone(s) which has virtually zero signal issues to one which is relatively bugged by them. Sometimes if I see no signal, when it has been in my pocket for a while, toggling it into airplane mode and then off again will restore it.
I am, overall, most impressed with the N5, it is just its ability to maintain a good and strong signal over that of what I have been used to which is most frustrating. I did not realise how bad it was until I went back to the Razr when the N5 was with LG for inspection / repairs for nearly a month.
Just to add that when I was using the Moto G it had an issue too with low or no signal after it had been in standby. Thankfully they fixed that one with the update...
The update is version number 174.44.1 and it has been reported to be pushing out to US and UK models of the Moto G, but should be rolling out to the rest of the globe soon enough. On the change log is a fix for a bug that had been causing cell signal loss for users, a fix for low call volume, a wallpaper cropping issue, and a trouble with USB on the Go.

I sold 1 of them the other Nexus 5 is sitting as a dev/experiment phone
I hope by posting this here we can find an answer to a problem that a lot of OPO users are complaining of. the device has a terrible cell and WiFI reception when compared to other devices in the same area and using the same wifi networks.
Cell reception:
I`m on a 4G network . however i find that i have 0-1 bar almost all of the time in areas where i used to have 3-4 bars. and as a result i constantly get missed calls notifications. I read that switching to 3G in the phone settings might help, and that`s when i ran into the second problem. Switching to 3G will indeed give me better reception 3-4 bars but then the whole connection becomes erratic, and the phone will go from 3 bars to ``no connection`` back to 4 bars 4 to 5 times every minutes and i will lose mobile data totally on 3G.
WiFi reception and connection:
I have a secure 802.1x connection at work spread over 2 buildings. the phone will connect to 1 only and will not connect to the same network in the other building at all. both have the same SSID , settings, and login information. but the phone will just cycle between `connecting`` to `` secured with 802.1x``. I tried all roms available and the only ROM that worked was `Gummy ROM``. only when using that ROM, is the phone able to connect to that WiFi network!! and i have no explanation for that.
All these problems I mentioned above are consistent across all roms and there seems to be no answer from OPO support or on the official forum for the phone. I hope someone can provide me with a solution or an answer to this.
Thank you all

I'm getting the same problems.
Where signal is always strong, it seems to work OK, but with weaker signal it just screws up!
Its really pissing me off as i've take the phone to work for the first time, just to find out I cannot get any signal there, where by my HTC Desire worked just fine.
Also getting exactly the same problems. It is impossible to use OPO where signal is not so strong although other phones work flawlessly. Reception signal strength goes up and down all the time from full to none bars. Data connection is inconsistent.
Anyone with weak inconsistent signal strength vote here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-132
I still hope that what we are experiencing is due to firmware and drivers issues that can be solved by the developers on XDA. However, the complete silence by OnePlus and Cyanogen regarding this issue despite the number of people complaining, makes me worried that it's a bigger hardware issue that they are trying to avoid and move into "we'll fix it in the next version of the phone” kind of scenario.

That would be bad scenario. I hope that it is just software problems. But seeing how OnePlus deals with the problems I also have doubts.
I would say it's software baseband/modem and CM needs to step it up. My Nexus 5 has a better signal strength. But then Google has a much bigger development team than CM or One plus. My friend has the GS5 and it has the snapdragon 801 chip set and it has a much better signal strength.
So ether the One's antenna is not that great or it a software problem.
As you can see the controller is on chip.

I don't have it as bad as some have posted so hope things get fixed for all.
Yeah. Many users are having problems with cell reception.
It's a shame.
My wife & I both using OPO international version, both of us facing poor signal & sound problem when we get them. Sound problem is currently handled by boosting the sound but frankly the sound is a bit deteriorated. The signal problem is better a bit now by installing oppo 7 radio. Hope the team can put more effort on the signal problem. It is phone!
I have this issue too, but I think this is a hardware problem, because CM and OPO teams do nothing for fix this problem, and Chao Chen at CM Jira says that this poor signal is a normal... I realy think about selling my OPO and buy another phone...
I have pretty crappy signal on mine too (London UK). Signal strength fluctuates wildly even by moving the phone in a different direction. I've reverted to the previous modem via a flash .zip and things seem a bit better but it's early days. I would have thought that number 1 priority for a phone is that it actually works well as...well, a phone!
Disappointed that the 'giant killer' tag doesn't quite match the reality.
I sincerely hope there are improvements but I have my doubts.

I don't have this problem on O2 uk wonder if its anything to do with 4g which isn't supported on this network. Have any of you tried PAC rom.
This problem is really starting to be a major issue for me. I expected some improvement by now.
Does anyone know is this has been confirmed as a radio/kernel issue or a hardware issue (antennas maybe).
S6 speedtest http://i.imgur.com/0w0fcWj.jpg - 16.78Mbps
MacBook speedtest http://i.imgur.com/7nzu3Ob.png - 55Mbps
I did the tests separately, one right after the other. The results are always the same, for the past 3 weeks since I go the S6.
I don't have any custom settings on anything (intentionally, anyway). Any idea what's going on?
Edit:
I discovered that the S6 has a full speed connection if the Spigen case is off and I'm right beside the router. As I move a few yards away, the speed begins to decrease. My other devices, including my previous S5, are not this dramatic.
I see that my router has separate connections for 2.4 and 5GHz. I connected the S6 to the 5GHz and the speed is the same as it was before. I also factory reset the S6 as a new device and it's still slow...
I've noticed the same thing... I just upgraded my home internet speed from 50Mbps to 100Mbps and noticed when using the speed test if i'm lucky will get 40Mbps. When I test the internet speed using my Macbook Pro and the wife's Acer i'm seeing 90+Mbps! Might just be the phone....
New to the S6 btw, coming from T-Mobile Samsung Note 4, had to come back to Verizon!

Neo Hybrid. The distance from the router made more difference than the case, but they both affect the speed.

I guess this phone performs better on 5ghz wifi channel, cause i just switched from my 2ghz channel and got twice the speed!!!
The two bottom results are on 2ghz and top two are on 5ghz!
Rate this thread to express how you think the Google Pixel XL's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Wifi appears to be on-par with other Wireless AC devices I've used.
Wifi tested on a 2 chain Ubiquiti AC AP-lite. Tested to a server in the same building (I'm an engineer for an ISP. We run the server).

this device is faster on WiFi than my 6P was
Testing from the exact same physical location, using the same AP (Apple Airport Extreme 5gHz). Send/receive delta is consistently a time of day issue, my ISP is Google Fiber by way of Webpass, in Berkeley, CA.
My kitchen is the weakest wireless area in my home. MY Note 5 manages around 43mb/s on 5ghz, the Pixel XL was 51mb/s. Only one small test, but very promising.

How close to the router were you? HTC products have always had poor wifi reception when one was not standing or sitting right next to the router. Samsung is the same for some reason. Apple tends to do a bit better in range wise.

When I ran the speedtest I was right next to the Access Point (It's not a router, It's a standalone Access point) About 5 ft away physically. Obviously there is an exponential drop off in speed when moving away from the source. But the Pixel XL appears to perform similar, Perhaps a tad bit better then my Note 7 did.
signal range is pretty poor for me. this thing won't remain connected to my 5ghz network to save it's life where's my v20 will and will get crazy speeds even with a low connection in the exact same room. in general ,the WiFi is pretty bad on the pixel and slower than my work s6 and my personal v20.

I get similar speeds on my Pixel XL pretty much everywhere in my house (covered by a 3 Asus OnHub Google Wifi mesh network connected to AT&T Gigabit Internet.) What I have noticed however is that speeds are slower if my phone is not connected to power and faster when the phone is plugged in. It is not something "flukey" ... I see it consistently. To get the speeds like in the screenshot, my Pixel XL would need to be plugged into a power source (and connected at 5Ghz).
Anyone else get notified every time you pass your local cable provider wifi out in public to sign in every time.I clicked auto sign in and still Everytime I can pick one up driving or walking down the road I get a notification to sign in very annoying
I have really spotty wifi problems with my pixel XL. Thought it was just my internet but sometimes I have a good signal sometimes and others its trash. super strange as to why it is so iffy, it doesnt really have a spot where it works better than others.
has anybody else had WiFi problems with their 7pro? I had WiFi problems with my 6t as well it'll say connected no internet and the Wi-Fi is very slow opposed to data when there is no other problem with other devices using the same Wi-Fi connection. sometimes the Wi-Fi won't work at all even if my phone says it's connected apps will not load. I am on a t-mobile variant flashed to international since the day I bought it a week ago any insight to this would be great because I see that people have this issue a lotk
Yeah WiFi "speeds" on the 7Pro are abysmal. I have around 1/3rd to 1/4th the speed compared to my previous 5T. Something completely unexpected, thought the phone would be as least as fast if not faster.
Same thing on 9.5.5/9.5.7 and with various kernels
Yeah I'll vouch for that too. My WiFi speeds and connection strength for that matter are terrible! I came from a 6T that honestly had no problem with WiFi whatsoever, so this is annoying. Well, I hope the next update addresses WiFi, because the 7 Pro is a nice phone! It's a shame!
Add me as another for this list. My speeds are absolute crap, seemingly capped at 15mbps across all networks I've tried. My sons Pixel 3 on the other hand flies on the same. So not a router or ISP issue. So disappointed as everything about the 7 Pro is awesome but can't live with such poor WiFi, have a feeling it affects the HotSpot capability and speed too whatever the issue is.
Hi all!
I had that too - a simple wipe cache of all the phone's resources fixes the problem (turn off the phone then hold volume down and power button till the recovery mode kicks in and then just go to wipe cache and reboot, e voila!). I had some 10 MBps (lol!), now it is almost 80 Mbps, which is what I should get given my old WiFi system. Never settle!
Along with wiping the cache as the previous poster said...another thing that sometimes works is to reboot your router while at the same time doing a network reset on the phone. This way all the connections are fresh and new. I know this has been a solution for many different phones over the years. YMMV
T-mobile variant flashed to International
Same problem here. I have the T-Mobile variant and flashed international prior to 40 day unlock. It shows I have WiFi and or data but nothing loads. I rest my phone and all is good. It happens 2-3 times a day. I've tried wiping cache and it still happens. I vaguely remember having network issues before I flashed the international software but, I'm not sure if it's the T-mobile variant phone or if its international software. Any ideas?

Are you sure it's the phone?
seeing as i have now tried multiple locations and wifi's yes. and my work phone can connect just fine to all the ones including my home, just the oneplus can not.
it stopped while in use like it just died.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue yet? Can't seem to find any fix

I wonder why I got this slow, I used to have 100+ on my old iPhone X (same 5g wifi)
My wife and I both have this problem as well. Fortunately we have truly unlimited data, or tie would be unacceptable. Sometimes it's super fast, sometimes it's so slow apps decide you're offline. I've never seen any sort of fix; it's probably an OS/kernel level issue.
Same issue!!!
I have also created thread on onePlus official forum!

has anybody else had WiFi problems with their 7pro? I had WiFi problems with my 6t as well it'll say connected no internet and the Wi-Fi is very slow opposed to data when there is no other problem with other devices using the same Wi-Fi connection. sometimes the Wi-Fi won't work at all even if my phone says it's connected apps will not load. I am on a t-mobile variant flashed to international since the day I bought it a week ago any insight to this would be great because I see that people have this issue a lotk

In Houston, I have no wifi issues with my 7pro on ATT!!!!
Router settings are going to play into this. Many variables beyond "my phone doesn't work" I can get over 200mbps on a fast router and connection properly configured for N or AC. Even on 2.4ghz, 60-100mbps works.
I just got this phone coming from a Poco F1 that decided to stop charging unless turned off and I've gotta say that this is very disappointing. First problem was that the phone wouldn't go above 10 Mbps. Changed my AC router config from 80 Mhz to 40 Mhz and that helped increase it to > 100 Mbps but if I go into Wifi settings the max the phone ever sees as receive/transmit speeds is 192 Mbps. It doesn't matter if it's 5 Ghz or 2.4 Ghz. Tried changing settings in the router and even tried a different router, same thing. Reset network settings, same thing. Reset the entire phone, same thing. This is the t-mobile unlocked variant of the phone.
Is there anything that can be done? Would a custom rom or converting it to the international version help?
EDIT: lol this is clearly either a hardware issue or some OS limit. I enabled hotspot and connected my Poco to it and the Poco also sees 192 Mbps max. This sucks...
I have the same problem with my op7P.
after downloading and installed an update, my WiFi could not be detected anymore....
it just could not find any WiFi
Needless to say, hotspot also failed.
I was able to fix my above problem (stuck at 192 Mbps max) by switching to the Pixel Experience ROM. Unfortunately, battery drain was excessive (and fingerprint stopped working out of the blue) so rolled back with MSM tool and upgraded to 10.3.3 using local upgrade. Back to stuck at 192 Mbps so this is definitely a rom problem.
I never had wifi problems with mine OP7 pro. Maybe a router problem!
I'm using 5Ghz and wifi rocks on Op7p.
