Hello everyone!
After a changing an LCD module, wifi signal was reduced (LTE,CDMA works great).
I guess it is because of wifi antenna, contacts, or smth else. Please show me where the wifi antenna located is? It will be great if you show a photo.
Thanks in advance!
I'm having the same issue.
I am using an ASUS RT-N16 Router. We have four iPads, one iPod, and two other android phones (Samsung and Huawei). Our ISP is an ADSL, max 7mbps. All of our devices are getting between 5 and 7 mbps…except the Nubia. The Nubia gets between 500 – 1000kbps. There is one exception. When the Nubia is restarted, the bit rate is the same as the other devices (5-7mbps), for approximately the first minute. Then, shortly following the restart, the rate declines back to the aforementioned slow rate. LTE works fine.
Fixed

Does anyone experience wifi reception issue on Samsung galaxy s II? I am in my friend's house and the reception is very poor. Yet both my laptop & iphone 4 has no problem. Is there some setting that I can fine tune the phone?

I do get that after having the display off for a while with no network activity, it's usually solved by disabling and enabling the WiFi. I think a more permanent way of doing it is via the advanced WiFi settings and setting the WiFi to never shut down.
Just purely basing on the signal bars, on my S2 it only gives 1 bar compared to a laptop/iphone4/ipad/itouch where they get even max, but at as I increase the distance the other devices start to drop on signal bars while the S2 keeps the 1 bar, out of all the devices the S2 has the shortest range dropping off the connection while followed by the apple devices about a mere 1-2 feet more, the laptop has about a meter more of range.

Check your WiFi sleep policy under Advanced Settings.
Yes, the WiFi signal bars strength of GSII is low compared to other phones I've used, but don't know if that affects the speed or not.
Regards.
plus low bar wifi signal , my download speed with wifi os very slow !! what should i do ?

do u have slow download speed tooo ??
The issue is: All the antennas are on the back bottom side of the phone (where the embossment is). When you hold it in your hand you screen all the antennas and as consequence GSM, WiFi and Bluetooth reception and transmission become poorer. Just try to hold your phone by the top side and you will be surprised with all signals quality improvement. Good luck! That's an antenna's design fault, IMHO. You may check WiFi networks strength with WiFi Analyser app.
Try also to check TX power with WiFi TX Power utility (requires iwconfig to be installed). By default samsung uses 32dBm (max). For home use 4-11dBm is enough. Probably you have 4 dBm set up and it's not enough for your conditions.

I don't even know I can adjust the transmission power. I have installed Wifi TX power utility but like what you said, it requires iwconfig. How can I install iwconfig? I am using Litening Rom with Ninphetamine-2.0.5 kernel.
Thanks.
Hi there,
Here is the zip file. Install it as zip update through CWM or CWM recovery. If first attempt is failed, just try again.

hey man! do u have any suggestion for download speed? my download speed is very slow ...
Just picked up the HTC One Max from Verizon yesterday. I have not rooted it or done anything other than set up email. As soon as I brought it home I noticed that it was having trouble with my home's WiFi that my Gnex didn't have. I placed my Kindle, my Gnex, and the HTC One on the table next to each other. The router shows the signal from the Kindle as -35 dbm, the Gnex as -37 dbm and the HTC One Max as -60 dbm. Considering that it's 12 feet from the router with no walls in between, that's an awful signal. It causes the Max to be limited to about 11 Mbps. When I take the Max into another room it just drops the WiFi altogether.
Is there some setting I might be overlooking? I tried turning off WiFi optimization, but that didn't change anything.
Here's a picture of WiFi Analyzer running on the Gnex and the Max side by side to illustrate.
Nexus = cheap plastic frame while One Max = metal frame and dual stereo speakers (aka stereo interference that affects reception).
I still choose the Max.

I agree with your assessment of the build quality of Samsungs (I went from a Gnex to a Max for a reason), but working WiFi is a must. I can't get 4G or even 3G most of the time at home and I don't have unlimited data anyway. The Max won't even connect to the WiFi in the next room. I can't believe this is how all Maxs are, so I'll exchange it tomorrow and check it out.

Mine is a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 running Tomato, but I don't know what's running on the other routers the Gnex is picking up. The router model won't matter in a side-by-side comparison of signal strength anyway - the router only broadcasts one signal and each phone receives that signal. As long as they're in the same place, the power of the signal reaching them will be the same. You can see that in this example where the Gnex is picking up three other routers that are presumably different models than my own, and that don't even register on the Max. If WiFi analyzer is anything close to correct, the Gnex is 1,000 times more sensitive than the Max. The Gnex registers about the same as my Kindle and the wife's Droid X2, so I don't think Samsung has anything special going on. I can see having some difference between designs and WiFi chips, etc., but I really don't believe Samsung's WiFi circuit is 1,000X more powerful than HTC's. That's about what I'd expect to see if the antenna weren't connected or some such.
On the other hand, my cellular reception is phemomenal compared to the Gnex. I just hope it's this particular Max with a problem so I can just exchange it and use WiFi.
I don't have any issues with wifi connectivity on my Max. I haven't run any analyzers because I haven't had the need to. I would take it in.

Only reason I ask is there had been a couple model routers that have had issues with HTC ones. What you describe has not been my experience. Exchange it.

I am pretty sure you have an hardware issue on your phone. Please go and exchange it. i speak from my experience of my One MAX dis-assembly. i used to get stable/ Full WiFi signals when it was stock, but when i re-assembled it i noticed a drop in WiFi signal and it was also not stable. i opened it up again to tweak the WiFi antennas a bit and tightened the screws properly and then it was good again.
I would suggest you to slightly tap / press on the top left of the phone(the speaker area the light sensor & top LCD bezel) a little and see if you WiFi improves and that would help to confirm the issue. You could place the phone on a firm table and press the area with your thumb and look at the WiFi bar's to check if you notice a difference.
Either way, you need to get the phone exchanged.

Thanks to everyone. I exchanged today and the WiFi reception is better than the Kindle and the Gnex. I hope that was an isolated issue and won't be something we see a lot of with the Max.

Good to know! :good::good:
Rate this thread to express how you think the LG G6'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!
Pulls all WiFi signals in my home on all bandwidths with no issues, connects almost instant and is ready for use within seconds of connecting. I can use my WiFi in the house from my car much better when sitting outside or in the driveway and my routers are in the middle of the house block by tons of walls.
Seems to have trouble switching towers when driving. I have had data drops/disconnects when I can see several Verizon Towers nearby. Its not a verizon issue but phone issue. However, when stationary, seems to maintain high speeds. I have pulled faster speeds with this, then the S7 Edge snapdragon 820.
Mine works well and stays connected to my 5GHZ signal... my older phone/devices sometimes have issues connecting in the rooms at the farthest end of my home... which is not a big home by any means but it does have brick wall inbetween. It does very well.
Coming from the Note 5 the wifi on the G6 is amazing. My biggest gripe with the note 5 is at my Gym they have 3 different wifi and the note 5 most of the time would either not connect or switch wifi.
Walked in with the LG6 and instantly sync up to wifi and had no problems switching to different connections.
My WiFi experience on the G6 has been quite poor. WiFi disconnects all the time, like multiple times while watching a single YouTube video. I have WiFi set to stay on all the time, and my $30 Kindle Fire has perfect WiFi throughout the entire house and never disconnects. Really wondering how to fix this...

I used to have a "n" wifi router and my laptop (which supports ac mode) never work right. Until one day, I upgraded my router to "ac" supported one and it just works perfectly.
Just my 2 cents.
Gets farther from my wireless router than my note 4 did, and that was pretty good. Quite pleased.
Hi,
can anyone check if Your G6 have a problem with "not seeing" WiFi 2.4GHz networkson on channels 12,13,14 ?
I checked two G6 from one delivery. Phone is updated, I did a factory-reset twice. H870 Orange soft. I contact LG support and I was told that probably the motherboard need to replaced...the phone has 2 months and for me it is a factory defect.
my mi box s is giving is trouble with wifi ..somehow it brings down my entire home Wi-Fi connection..i have a 2.4ghz 50mbps line ...once i connect the mi box to my wifi the speed reduces to 2mbps on all devices ...yet the mi box still buffers while streaming any video...i tried using a repeater and somehow it gets a speed of 10 mbps now without degrading the entire connection...not sure what is wrong with the box.
so no one else facing this issue ????

Apply latest OTA update and perform full factory reset from settings menu.
i am at the latest version ....
did a factory reset twice ...only thing makes it work is a repeater and my mobile hotspot ...
i understand if the speed is not upto the mark on my mi box probably its far away from the router (still gets 3 bars)
but as soon as the mi box connects to my router ..the entire network degrades ...
even on my one plus 5t my speed drops to 0.2 mbps from 50 mbps
MiBox4 WiFi crashes

I have the same issue like you.
When I connect MiBox 4 the WiFi goes bananas, keeps turning itself on and off, speed degrades. MiBox has të latest firmware. The router is Huawei HG630 V2.
I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
Cheers
I'm facing a similar issue. When I turn on the box (mi box 4k), wifi becomes too slow to do anything. If i turn of wifi on the mi box, everything goes back to normal instantly.
The wired network still works fine though.
I figured out that if I turn off my redmi note 7, the issue doesn't occur.
Any ideas on how to debug this issue?
Help needed to fix poor WiFi and Bluetooth range.
Hello. I'm a mido user. My Redmi note 4 got dropped from my hand and the display got crack and my 4G ic chip got damaged too. I gave to a local store . They changed the display and changed the 4G ic chip also. It got fixed finely. But now I'm having a new problem after changing the display , that is my wifi and Bluetooth signal range has got reduced, usually Redmi note 4 wifi and Bluetooth range is up to 10 meters. But now I am having range of 1 meter only both in wifi and Bluetooth, I tried changing to custom ROM, resetting wifi and such software stuffs. But nothing worth. I have come to pick a decision that this problem is from hardware side maybe. Maybe the WiFi & Bluetooth combined antenna has got affected by them. Can anybody help me to figure out the real problem and a descriptive solution for this!?
Thanks in advance to all who will reply to me.
From the description of your problem, it is certain that there is indeed a hardware damage. Maybe when your phone is being repaired they don't install it properly / use a part that is already damaged or doesn't fit, maybe you should visit the place where you service your phone.
