I just discovered this with a little research with people having similar wifi problems. Simply change your router settings to 2.4 ghz band instead of 5 ghz band. For some reason the G4 is having problems with 5 ghz bands.
Or if you cant do that, just connect your phone to the 2.4 ghz band of your wifi if your router is dual broadcasting.

I'm trying it, not sure if it'll work. I've had 2.4 and 5 networks saved, i've just deleted the 5 network, we'll see if it's better.
Adding this line to my build.prop seems to have fixed this issue for me. I'm still testing but my phone isn't having any issues on the 5Ghz AC band.
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

Didn't work for me
not connecting to 5Ghz is NOT a fix at all..
i didn't tried the scan intervall, i'll test it.
but i can confirm that either the reception is low and that the phone love to loose the signal :/
It also sometimes says that it has bad internet conneciton, so it refuse to connect (didn't found the setting to disable this stupidity... I know that on stock android under wifi settings you can disable this behaviour)
Sometimes it is also refusing to connect to a wifi... it just say registering and stoped...
only way to force it : reboot the phone...
hope that a software update will fix these issues.

Hello,
I seem to be having an issue with connecting to my 802.11ac router (Apple's Time Capsule). In "Automatic" mode, it connects to my SSID via 2.4GHz only. When I go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced and choose Wi-Fi Frequency band as 5Ghz it finds 0 networks in the area.
FYI - I'm on 3.1.3 OxygenOS.
Is anyone experiencing similar issues?
Best,
Mash
Edit: To be clear, I have several devices including my laptop that are connected to the 5Ghz band. I've also used a WiFi scanner in my old S6 Edge to verify that there are SSIDs broadcasting in the 5Ghz band.
I use 5 GHz network at home and it works fine with my op3.

using 5Ghz on Fritzbox, i also use diffrent ssid names for 2,4 and 5ghz and also different passwords
Thanks guys. Are both of you on 3.1.3? I'm trying to isolate the issue here...

Got a 3TB time capsule here. OOS 3.1.3 - on automatic, it only connects to 2G despite having full 5G signal, however if i switch it to 5G only, it finds both main and guest networks in that band and connects fine Try re-flashing stock rom
Thanks - I'll try and do a nandroid backup and reflash to see if that fixes the issue.

3.1.3 stock, not rooted
Check what frequency and channel width your 5ghz band is set to, one time I changed my 2.4ghz and my ps4 couldn't detect it til I changed back.
Just tried 5Ghz without issue using channel widths 20Mhz, 40Mhz, and 80Mhz.

Thanks guys. I wonder if I've got a lemon.
I've just reflashed 3.1.3 and even then can't find or detect ANY 5GHz SSIDs. This is so frustrating.
I guess a call to support is the way forward.

Check if you are able to connect to a different 5GHz Network. It _might_ be an issue with the router itself.
Mine OP3 connects to 2.4 and 5 without any problems (TP-Link Archer C7).

Try going into advanced wifi settings and setting your network mode to 5ghz only. Inconvenient but will do the job.

Hi,
first of all i am on MIUI 8 (8.1.5 Global Stable) and my Wifi seems to be really slow. Sometimes i got only 1 MBps with a speedtest although i'm on a 75MBit internet connection behind the wifi router. Most of the time i reach about 8MBit and sometimes 35MBit.
The problem occured on 8.1.3 the first time and i flashed 8.1.5 via TWRP and started from scratch (wiped) but it remains the same. Maybe it's a hardware defect.
Anyway - Could you do a speedtest and tell me which connection you have and which max bandwidth you can achieve with the Mi Max?
Also i considered flashing just a new radio, because TWRP update doesn't flash radio.
So could you tell me what version is the current baseband (radio)? Just check in Phone Information. I would really appreciate to know if there is a newer radio and how to flash it safely (phone is officially unlocked).
Thank you

To begin, I advise you to test your wi-fi on several different devices. If only Mi Max will have a bad rate, then it is necessary to look for the problem and if all devices have the same speed of the Internet, the problem is in the router.
5ghz or 2.4ghz is your router using?
I also has this issue. and i found out that it happens only with specific routers (like i have in my home).
I think that i found a workaround for my home - i use Xiaomi mi adapter as a repeater and connect to it and it works much faster..
Other phones on the same network don't have the problem.

Do you mean the Mi Router for 30 USD?
What is the current radio and can i flash just the radio?

yes correct i am using that mi wifi extender it works great but need to configure it under mi home app
My version is 8.2.5.0 and my WiFi is slow!! It takes time to play even 144p videos in youtube .
Why it is slow ?? And what is the solution ??
I have the same problem. But I have slow DL rates at any wifi router, and also LTE. Changed many ROMs and the problem persist.
i think im having same problem.. im getting 2.8MB/s on a 100Mb network.
Speed in 4g data mode is working fine.. the problem is on wifi only.
The Wi-Fi does seem slower than other phones. I'm on MIUI 10 8.8.9 eu ROM and the maximum I can get connected to an Asus AC68 router is ~150Mb, whereas my Galaxy Note 4 does ~250Mb over the same 5Ghz 400Mb connection.

I have this same problem did you ever find a solution? Did you get a new router, cause that is were am at right now.
Yes, fixed when I did official ROM update via OTA to MIUI10 and now MIUI11. With the same router I got 300Mbps.
I have recently upgraded the router to the Asus AC86U but only for better 5Ghz range for all my devices. The slow issue was definitely the phoned software.
Hey,
Wondering if anyone else is having problems with 5ghz Hotspot wifi tethering? I can activate the setting but I can't always connect to it with my other devices. Most of the time it works the first time I activate 5Ghz hotspot, however if I toggle it off and then back on again, it won't work anymore until I restart the phone. The UI will show me that the hotspot is active but my other devices won't be able to find it.
I've tried it on multiple roms including a fresh install of the latest default MiUI rom, all with the same problem. I saw posts on reddit claiming that it could be a UK region bug and to try change the region to France but this doesn't solve the issue either.
2.4Ghz hotspot works everytime, however is a bit slower than 5Ghz, so I'm keen to try and get this issue resolved.
Any help is appreciated.

Yeah I understand that, however that doesn't explain why the hotspot works the first time, and never again until a device reboot.
My other devices support both 5Ghz and WPA3.
I bought a Poco F4 (global version, xiaomi.eu 14.0.5.0) about one month ago, I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever, save for the fact that it suddenly won't detect my 5ghz WiFi networks (my main router + a repeater) - and I'm not even sure if this is an issue with the phone itself.
I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, which was known to have this issue, but to have this happen on 2 different phones is really weird. If I recall correctly this issue started to affect me after I changed my ISP.
The only ways I have to detect the networks again is to go the debug mode and use the WiFi Sniffer Test Tool or reboot the phone, which was more or less the same thing I had to do on the S20 FE (I had to go turn on airplane mode try updating the firmware via debug mode).
What I've tried so far to solve this issue:
1. Changing the channel of the 5ghz WiFi
2. Changing the bandwith from 20/40/80 to 20/40
3. Setting "Use Device Mac" on the phone's network settings.
4. Turning off WiFi Scan Throttle
5. Changing the bandwith to 20
All of the above methods, save for the last one, did not work. And while it does work, it limits the speed of my internet to bellow 100mbps.
The issue is not related to the WiFi coverage as well since it only happened when I'm on my own room, which is where my router is located.
I don't know if I can detect other networks apart from my own since even when they 5ghz detection is working I can't find any of my neighbors' networks. I'm unable to create a 5ghz hotspot on my S20 FE or on my old Redmi Note 9S for some reason.
I'm at a loss on what to do, it happens on both stock and xiaomi.eu, at least and at most once per day.
If anyone else is facing the same issue or has any suggestion on what I should try next please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I have no problems with 5G Wifi on xiaomi.eu rom
All the time 300Mbit/s
Buy Wifi6 router
This doesn't look like a problem with the phone (s).
Try connecting to another router to see if you have the same problem.

Are they on any specific channel/bandwith?
Both of mine are WiFi 5 though.

Thank you for your input. I'll try to turn on my old router when the issue happens again. I find it odd that the issue affects both my main router and the one I use as a repeater, but everytime I made any slight change on the main router, the other one's signal almost immediately disappears to apply the changes as well, so it's probably that.
mode: 802.11a/n/ac/ax
channel: 48
bandwith :80MHz
I'm using Tenda TX3 Wifi6 router.
No issues at all. Great internet speed on wifi connection.

The problem is indeed with your router + repeater setup. Your phones are fine.

Thank you! I'm almost certain that the issue is that the bandwith isn't fixed at 80mhz, it's 20/40/80mhz, and when I had the bandwith set to 20mhz I didn't had the issue.

Thank you! It's probably related to the bandwith. I was able to turn on an old router and my phone was able to detect the 5ghz network after the bug happened and my router + repeater signal was missing.
Have you tried resetting your router to the default settings? Or maybe set a specific IP address on your phone in your home network? As said above, it is a setup issue of your network most probably..
