Wifi tethering very slow - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I got an OP6 this week, this phone is awesome. But when I use wifi tethering, the speed on my computer is very slow (1Mbps max!)... On 4G+ on the phone, I reach 110Mbps
easily. I'm on Oxygen OS 5.1.7, bootloader locked. Anyone got this issue or can help me?
Thank you in advance for your answer, and sorry for my english, I'm french.

Mine works fine, can hold 5 devices attached to wifi tethering without slowing. You may need a reset

I'll try this, thanks!

I have done a reset, the issue is still here... Please help

Sorry I can confirm my WiFi tether (using 2.4ghz) is full speed. I'm on cricket so that's about 10Mbps but I get it all day long no issues.

I am on T-mobile and I can confirm that the tethering is very slow. Not sure how to fix.

Phone OK, no data. PLS HELP IF YOU CAN.

OK, so this sucks.
I have done my due diligence, but to no avail. Here is the situation:
Yesterday: Phone OK (14.09), data OK. Running: ATT Tilt with Q-Mobile 1.2
Today: Flashed Alex v5 Lite. Phone OK (14.09), No data.
Symptom: Attempt to do anything data (e.g., use PIE). I get the normal connecting to Media NET popup...TWICE. Then I get the Cannot Connect "for unknown reason" message.
What I have done so far:
1. Searched xda for similar situation. Did not find any exact matches. Lots of radio and sound issues, but no data.
2. Tried Alex v5 Clean ROM. Same issue.
3. Tried ATT AKU 0.4.4 ROM. Same issue
4. Went back to Q-Moblie 1.2 (14.09 radio). Same issue.
....you see a theme here....
5. Tried Dutty v4 RTM with 12.17 radio. Same issue.
So basically my data is hosed. Is there some advanced setting (for the device, not OS) that I can check?
I really need some help here. Otherwise, I need to reflash the orig ROM and SPL, and go wait for hours at the stinking ATT store.
EDIT: Just heard about some 3G issues today. Maybe that is it. I sure hope it is as simple as ATT network and not my device!!!!
Thanks much in advance.
OK, I switched from 3G to Edge and same issue. Bummer.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks again.
EDIT: And FWIW, I can connect to internet when connected thru ActiveSync....which probably means nothing.

have u disabled proxy.
I'm using 1.27.12.32 with Dutty's v4 RTM and both 3G and Edge are working for me.
I would suggest calling AT&T and ask them verify your data settings on their end aren't screwed up.
When I first got my Tilt in October, I lost my data access because of an issue on the account side. The same error message you are getting. All they had to do was send a "ping" of sorts to my phone, and its been fine since.

Thanks P1Tater. I have not proxy settings under My Network>Proxy. Is that where you meant? Do I need to do something more to "disable" proxy?

Yup you heard it right, it's probably the cause of your problem. Which state are you in? In VA data/3G/phone's working fine though.
Try installing this CAB soft reset and try connecting to the internet

start>settings>connections>connections>advanced>select networks>media net/edit>proxy settings>
check first tab, uncheck "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
Thanks all for the great responses. I will likely try each of them in turn.
I did call AT&T and apparently there are at least 22 states affected by some form of outage (specifically Media.Net). My state (Colorado) was not on the official list, but the support person said that new states were being added as time goes by.
So this is "likely" the issue. 22 states...that is pretty major!
Anyway, again thanks to all who offered help. This site/community is one of the best things since ....well, you know. Anyway, I hope I can return the favor sometime.
If you're AT&T you need have the proxy & the right user agent settings to connect to MediaNet.
You need to disable to connect to internet through Activesync.
Try running the Restore Proxy cab in Windows or in Programs/tools/proxy.

Yep, I would say that is it. I like that first posters comment:
"skynet is online" Apparently it became self aware around 7am my time. which as (bad) luck would have it is right about the time I flashed a new ROM. Scared the heck out of me.
just tried media net in Colorado and it does not work, was working fine last night and this morning... just tried isp.cingular does not work ether.
called att they are giving me a 2$ credit. everyone who has outage should call and get there 2 $ back :0)
Data was restored in Chicago about 30-45 min ago.

Man, I must have picked the worst time to flash my AT&T tilt! This is the first time in years I've flashed one of my phones (Duttys v4) and now my 3G doesn't work! I'm in Denver Co and my Edge connection works ok. I think it is an AT&T issue because my 3G was a little flakey before I flashed.
Looks like 3G is back up for me in Denver.

try rebooting your WiFi router and disable WiFI on your phone, wait till your router comes back up fully then reactivate WiFI and see if works
This is a known-issue we're just waiting for a proper fix from Google/Moto

[Q] MMS only on 3g, not on LTE/4g

Hi guys. I spent all day trying to get my MMS to send with 4g to no success. I noticed this only happened since i activated 4g, as with 3g everything was and still is OK.
My solution so far is not the most viable, which is adding to quick settings the LTE toggle.
by activating LTE, the opo loses network connection and only returns in a bit, this is why i say my solution is not the most viable. I would like to know if anyone experienced this and how you solved it. Could really use the help. Thanks

No 3G/4G when Hotspot is on

Hello everyone, with the problem on my previous thread I decided to wipe the phone and restore it to the rooted L29 ROM. Everything seems to work great except for one thing.
When WiFI Hotspot is activated the 3G/4G doesn't work - Chrome would say "you are offline - your device is offline."
Any insight on how to fix this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Just to clarify, when the hotspot is on. The device connected to the hotspot has internet connectivity. However, the internet ceases to work on my actual phone that is hotspotting
um, aint that supposed to be that way....? since all traffic is router through wifi to the connected devices....just guessing though, ive never tried to use internet connection on my phone while using its wifi hotspot with another device
Sent from my Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10
Nope, before I flashed it I can hotspot my friends while using the internet on the phone. Not anymore
huh, ok.... weird then!

Wifi connected, but no internet access

I get connected (no internet access) from time to time when I automatically connect to my school's network. It connects automatically and works in some buildings and doesn't in others. Turning wifi off and on fixes the issue. However, it is annoying to keep doing this. I had this issue on EMUI 4.1 and 5.0 (through charles and dload) so I don't think it's the version of android. Is anyone else having the same issue? Could it be the school network's issue? Thanks.
Have you tried using a different internet browser?

Sorry for the late reply. It's the WiFi in general. Apps that require Internet don't connect either. I did a factory reset and that didn't fix anything.
I have similar problem. When I first got my phone it was on firmware B160 without any problem. I updated to Nougat using firmware finder and the problem started to surface. I rolled back to B160 using their rollback tool, which then got updated to B162. It's much more stable than Nougat but not as good as the original firmware that I was on. Each time I had done factory reset after the update to make sure I am not in some dirty state. (L04 variant)
I have similar problem sometimes on my honor 8, it shows up excellent internet connectivity but failed to lunch apps like facebook or youtube etc(says no internet connection) while other hand samsung A8 run just fine with same wifi network at same time. I have done factory reset but nothing miracle happen still same problem. Frustrating....
If it's been on both 4.1 and 5 its either a hardware issue or the school network is bad

if the wifi works fine when you connect it to different wifi's then its the school network not much you can do. ps you wrote you have the problem from 4.1 to 5 in your OP.....

Yes but if it can't connect even when you update to emui 5 then it will be the network.

I have the exact same issue with mine that I just got about a month ago. It is at my work, which is a college. It worked just fine on all of my old phones.

I have restarted my phone several times, but not the AP because it is at my work and there are about 50 AP's all over campus and I doubt they will restart them for me lol. Amazon sent me a replacement phone as well so now I have 2 phones doing the same problem, just at work.

Then the problem is with the router itself. On my experience, some routers will let you connect but will not give you an internet connection.

Definitely the issue is from the router
There was this point where my laptop can connect to the router but can't connect to the internet. After a few days it got fixed automagically.
Have you checked to see if your internet connection is active? If it isn't then you would need to contact your ISP for more assistance with this issue.
