WiFi speed

[rwalton159]

When I check the WiFi speed on my phone at home it can be low. If I turn the WiFi off on the phone and back on, the speed increases dramatically.

Is this normal or is there an issue with my Samsung A51 phone?

Thanks

Are you sure it's your phone? Have you tried using it on a different WiFi network?

If you have a "mesh" network in your home it's possible that the phone is connecting to an AP that's further away at first, and is unable to maintain high throughput until you toggle WiFi, then it'll reconnect to the nearest one.

Your device will connect to 2.4GHz, which leads to lower speed, when you are 5 or more meters away from your router. After turning off and on your device will compare 2.4GHz and 5GHz and will choose on of them and stay connected to them until you turn off and on your WiFi again or 5GHz lost connection. Long story short; Yes it is normal

I omitted the following from my initial post

At home I use a Three 5g hub which gives me almost 300mbps on the phone.
The drop I mention can be down to 50mbps

Other equipment in the house isn't effected.

I'm typing this and thinking eureka, it's the phone!

Thank you for your help guys
