WiFi strength, range, and throughput

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy A50'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!

Wifi connection overall good, but 5GHz keep dropping often. On 2.4GHz it holds better even on weak signal.

Yes, 5Ghz keeps dropping a lot.

range is average however this phone uses a single beam connections over both bands making it only able to connect at 72Mbps over 2.4Ghz and 150Mbps over 5Ghz and both gives a less than average throughput to be honest compared to even much cheaper phones I've tested.

5ghz channel is not showing

Hellow. In my a50-sma505f, 5ghz wifi channel is not showing. Is it any how software related?

QR code password share

I cant share wifi password using qr code. This feature was present earlier.

I've speed tested over 200mbps with link speeds near 400mbps so you're clearly mistaken.

I think someone is wrong, on my SM-A505FN I often reach 2.4GHz to 100Mbit / sec and 5.8GHz still up to 300Mbit / sec. Speed, quality and reliability are among the best I've ever tried. If you have problems with WiFi, try focusing on your router's firmware first, or try changing its router manufacturer. But you are definitely not alone with these problems, although this should not happen due to standards, the opposite is true.

Most Arris routers I've connected on my A505G/DS to both 2.4 and 5.8 drops out (exclamation mark next to wifi signal) when doing anything heavy bandwidth related. Only seems to work good when connected to my netgear wifi extender. Speeds aren't as fast as other devices also. I've reset the device so I have no idea what's up but I'm disappointed with this.

Wi Fi strenght is pretty weak and I compared I few models. The results are that Samsung A50 showed signal same as Nokia from 2010 with Symbian OS....disapointed....

according for my using for this device around 1 week wifi is acceptable but i noticed there many options not there any more like wps setting and QR code scan to share wifi access key ... didn't like that we supposed to get more features not the opposite ..

Not happy with WiFi. Slow loading videos most of the time and stop&go so annoying. Very often when I try to open news, for example, I see msg "No Internet connection. Try again." Even if it show me it's connected. I have a problem to connect this phone with my Toyota 2019 Entune. It shows me phone paired with care but I can't listen music. It slow loading and interrapting. I do not recommend this phone. Older versions WiFi is better.
