I'm running the latest stock 9.0.1 and my wifi has been terrible - i'm not sure if this is since I got the phone or if it's just since i updated to Android 9 as I only noticed this issue when I started using certain apps. I checked my speedtest logs and it looks like I was getting normal download speeds prior to updating to Android 9 so not sure if there's a way to roll back to the previous version.

Basically on all my other devices I'm getting download speeds of just under 200Mbs and upload of around 150Mbps. But on the OP6 I'm getting download speeds of <5Mbps. Note this is on 5GHz. The situation is improved on 2.4GHz but barely - 20Mbps. Upload speeds on both are fine and consistent with my other devices. I don't know if this is speed related but a load of apps aren't working properly as a reason and consistently just show a circle reload logo rather than loading what it should. It also seems to be struggling to download any apps from the Play store while on wifi (or sometimes it does but there's a huge delay).

Any ideas? I've already wiped cache, rebooted my phone, rebooted my router, reset network settings, etc. Unfortunately OP tech support hasn't been particularly helpful so far.

Cheers

Try updating to beta 6. Might help your issue for 9.0. It should be available in your OTA in settings.
I spoke too soon. Speeds have gone back to a dribble. only way I can get them normal is to continuously restart which isn't practical. I'm having issues downloading apps on wifi on the playstore too. I might have to just send it off to OP as I think it may be a hardware issue.

Good luck with everything. OP customer support is garbage.

Yeah they have been pretty unhelpful so far. i'm starting to regret buying this phone to be honest. I never had this many issues with my old Sony Z3.

Worst comes to worst I'll root and put a custom ROM on it to see if it fixes anything.

You could. If you like stock oos, just give xXxnolimits a try. It's pretty solid. Make sure to use bluespark twrp if you try because normal TWRP doesn't support encryption in 9.0.
