WiFi strength, range, and throughput

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Rate this thread to express how you think the OnePlus 3T'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!

5 stars on 5ghz band. 2,4 is a bit worse but the OP3 had that too in the beginning.

Its a bit strange. I'm connected with 5Ghz and just have 150Mbit/s. My Moto X has 300Mbit/s with 5Ghz. Both are connected to the Wi-Fi at once. Router ist AVM FritzBox 7390.
Any Idea why?

 

[dyonissos]

Same here. Moto X Pure got connected at 866 Mbps. OP3T at only 300.
I guess it doesn't have mimo antennas.

MIMO not working?

hey guys,
I just noticed that OnePlus 3T doesn't actually support mimo wifi connectivity which is supposedly meant to increase the speed!
I have this mojo airtight c 75 wireless AP which has 3x3 MIMO and can support speeds up to 1.2gbps..
interestingly when I connect oneplus 3T on 5ghz it can only connect to 200mbps connection speed while I also have s7 edge which connects to 400mbps and gives double the speed than 3T in speed test!...why is this?when both s7 edge and 3T have MIMO and snapdragon processors

Yeah, Mimo is not available on OP3T. You can enable channel bonding for 2.4ghz. I did that and the speed doubled when i am in the same room with the router. In order for this to be effective, you have to set the 2.4ghz band to 40mhz. It won't work otherwise. More information here.

Anyway, the wifi signal on this phone is definitely weaker than nexus 5x or nexus 7 2013. I compared them side by side.

433mbps seems to be the maximum connection speed achievable by this phone, giving me around 190/240mbps out of my 250/250mbps connection (using Ubiquiti AC Pro APs).

Any of you guys on T-Mobile network? Please tell me how network is for you guys? My 6p has great network but am planning on getting 3T this week. Thanks

I just got the Le Eco Pro 3 and it connects at 866MHZ on Wifi, funny my 3 yr old Note 4 also connects at that speed.

Very disappointed that I get only 433MHZ on the OP3T.

 

[poorcku]

I still don't get why is it so hard to integrate Mimo in AD 2017.

I've got a 200mbps internet package. On desktop with LAN getting 160mbps, on my OPO getting 100-110 mbps, on my OP3T getting 35-40 mbps ... wtf

OP3t is chinese version flashed with oxygenos4.0.1 while OPO on slimsaber marshmellow. Is something wrong with the phone or is this normal for oxygenos4.0.1?

I got my full internet speed of 140 Mbps out of nugat
. Was only 100 on mm..

Pretty bad is correct. This is on the other side of my house on WiFi. I am also comparing it to the Le Pro 3.

The Le Pro3 will support up to 520Mbps over WiFi (ac) and the OP3T gets a whopping 32Mbps on the same network in the same spot...

5 stars all the way. I am on 5ghz so I cant speak about other freq but compared to my opo I have much better reception.

 

[Anova's Origin]

When I first got the phone, Wifi was pretty poor. Frequently disconnects and even when it was connected, it never got past ~40 mbps and the signal quality was really poor despite being only ~10m away from the router with one wall in between. For some reason, without me doing anything, the wifi suddenly improved two weeks after I received the phone (prior to any updates or mods). Still frequently disconnected, but was able to transfer at an excess of 200 mbps, which far outpaced all my other devices. The signal also markedly improved.. Now with OOS 4.0.3, they have added the option to prevent IPV6, which completely fixed the frequent disconnects. I'm guessing that my router is a little outdated and that it's IPV6 provisioning was flakey. Now, the phone's Wifi is perfect.

Slow wifi speed

I just got the op3t A3010.
Updated to Nougat and tested wifi speed.
I'm only getting 25mbps which is a quarter of what we have.
I'm connected to 5.0ghz wifi. Other devices are getting faster speed.
Help please?

I get about 250 on 5ghz connection haven't really checked 2.4ghz as I don't use it much and the range is great. I noticed it stays connected when I get about 20 feet from the house even.
