WiFi strength, range, and throughput

[Rigby J]

The wifi range is pretty anus IMO

I have no complaint with the wifi, though the 2G reception is bad sometimes.(not sure why)

Why my WiFi icon flicking constantly to 4g when it's connected with router any idea?

To add wi-fi performance on this isn't great. My N6p is way better. When u set up WhatsApp and restore my data on the 6p it's done within seconds. It took minutes and painful minutes on the axon 7. Disappointing

Both the Wifi, and cell signals are weaker than the Nexus 6P and the Samsung S7 Edge by a fair margin. With the Wifi, this is most notable when you're on a level of a house other than the level of the router. The Wifi cuts out periodically, and its signal strength is about 1/3rd of the other two phones in the same location.

It's cell signal on T-Mobile is also significantly weaker than the signal with the same sim card in the same location on the 6P and S7 Edge. Difference is -114db (Axon) vs. -101db (Nexus).

My axon 7 does a really great job at both wifi and cell signal much better than my 6p sorry to say because I love my 6p before I got the axon 7 , I am with att at the moment, camera wise the 6p still better

It's been confirmed already. People have flashed the global rom onto the US model, and it completely fixes the wifi speed.

Any links no how to do this for the USA based phones?

Signal Strength

Well crap, I'm planning on buying one of these on t mobile and I live in an already mediocre signal area. I get about -122 to at best -106 at home though I just use wifi. Have you noticed any real world issues with the speed? Is -114 the best it gets in a max signal area?

I would think that in a max area, with light usage from other phones that you would have no problem with higher numbers. Depending on your service provider and tower. T mobile should be fair but I would suggest Verizon if you do not live in T mobiles 4G service areas as Verizon has more coverage area.

It ended up just being that I had this metal parking roof right in front of my apartment. It blocked my signal quite a bit along with OTA TV signal. It got much, much better after I moved. TMobile can be very fast indeed. Now I get up to -73 db (remember lower/more negative is better for signal strength)
It's faster than my medium tier cable modem!
