WiFI Speeds - Help

Aaron_sVBSEdfDHC

Yikes! That’s terrible that they’re claiming that it’s fixed. I mean, test it also before you reply, but I know you’ll have difficulty with some smart home products when switching back on WPA3 and then going back to 2. I never changed my Wi-Fi security so I was able to quickly see that the bug is still present.

This doesn’t make the company look too great in my eyes now and I don’t know what I’ll do with this phone. The funny thing is that they’ve taken Oneplus’s space at Best Buy here in the US. They’re going to have a lot of returns here over this.

Aaron_sVBSEdfDHC I suspect it may have been an automated response (or at least it seemed that way). I did reply to them saying it is still happening (I tried it too and experienced the same thing) and they replied with they will advise the engineering team.

One thing you mentioned though about losing 6Ghz is interesting - I don’t see it now either (I never really bothered to check). I wonder if they blocked it and figured that would resolve it… but the issue is WPA3 and not the frequency.

I replied to their last response to me also, simply to state that the bug persists after the update. It’s definitely some sort of automated AI thing as the email was all out of sort.

I mentioned the FCC earlier in this thread. They would have had to recertify the phone with the FCC if they wanted to keep the 6GHz. Hindsight, I shouldn’t have said anything about it.

Aaron_sVBSEdfDHC I can confirm that the issue hasn’t been resolved. I only just received an email from support on May 19th stating that the bug will be fixed in a future update.

Lexcyn

Got another response from Nothing today:

Your report has been forwarded to our R&D team, who are actively investigating the Wi-Fi connectivity issue and evaluating possible optimizations. At this stage, they are still working on identifying the best solution, and we don’t yet have a specific timeline for when a fix will be available.

Bis gerade eben hatte ich das selbe Problem. Folgende Lösung hat bei mir sofort geholfen und von 25 Mbit auf 700 Mbit an einer 1000er Leitung gemacht:

Android stuft manche WLAN-Verbindungen fälschlicherweise als “getaktet” (wie mobiles Datenvolumen) ein und drosselt im Hintergrund die Datenrate.

Öffne die Einstellungen > Netzwerk & Internet > Internet.

Tippe neben deinem WLAN auf das Zahnrad-Symbol.

Suche nach dem Punkt Netzwerknutzung (oder ähnlich) und ändere die Einstellung von “Automatisch erkennen” fest auf “Als unbegrenzt behandeln”.

Ich hoffe das hilft dem ein oder anderen.

carsten_1tQWaVjZyb mine has always been set to “unmetered” - the issue is with WPA3.

Aaron_sVBSEdfDHC

I tried unmetered before submitting as a bug. Tried again just now, since an update was released since then. Still not resolved.

I just received a 4a Pro and it does not detect my 6E WiFi network. Sounds like it’s a known issue…Hopefully will be resolved soon.

Lexcyn

csamartinemail well, the 4a Pro does not support 6E or 6Ghz so that could be why:

WiFi 6, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, 2.4G/5G

VaishakV that sounds like it could be an issue with WiFi congestion - are you not able to use 5Ghz? What about if you try a different WiFi network?

VaishakV

I’m on WPA/WPA-2 personal and the network sucks. I’m barely getting 2mbps.

My wifi is 2.4ghz

csamartinemail

Lexcyn

Looks like that is the reason…Hard to believe that a $600 phone (256gb model) does not support 6E…I just assumed that it did. Even the Pixel 6 from 2021 supported 6E.

Spark

Lexcyn 4A Pro does support 6GHz (Chipset also supports that) , not sure if they have removed the support from the device itself after OTA updates, Can you share Screenshot of Frequency selection menu in Hotspot settings or check on devcheck app’s network section

VaishakV

Lexcyn

Lexcyn My wifi router only supports 2.4 Ghz

I’m getting decent speeds when I connect to someone’s mobile hotspot.

But wifi speeds are very low.

csamartinemail

Spark I checked the frequencies in hotspot settings and only see 2.4GHz and 5GHz. It’s like 6GHz has been removed. I even tried scanning the QR code for the 6GHz network on a different phone and it captured it under known connections but would not connect. There was not even an option to connect.

Lexcyn

Spark yes, they did remove it after the first update I believe. If you look at the FCC certification it does not mention 6Ghz. While the chipset supports it, they probably removed it for cost savings (similar to how the chipset also supports things like Bluetooth 6 but we only get 5.4

aww102 hmm interesting, I was wondering if something was put in there for the fix. I haven’t had a chance to test turning WPA3 back on yet.

Aaron_sVBSEdfDHC

Looking a Reddit, it seems that the 4a Pro has an update out… is that right? I would it test, but I’m traveling at the moment with a different phone. Anybody able to confirm the update and if it fixes the WPA3 bug?

aww102

Downloaded the FroggerPro-B4.1-260522-1414 update (a.k.a. 1 May 2026 Android Security Update) for NothingOS 4.1 for my 4a Pro and initial testing looks promising that a fix has been implemented.

I’ve been connected to my WiFi with WPA3 (5 GHz signal only) for almost an hour and I’m continuing to get download speeds over 400 Mbps. Previously, it would have been throttled to less than 20 Mbps after 15-20 mins since connecting to the WiFi.

VaishakV

aww102 why does it not work for me then 😭😭 ? I installed that update

aww102

VaishakV Do you have Adaptive Connectivity turned on? Turn that off, if it is.

I had use the Search feature in Settings as I couldn’t find where the option exists in any of the Network and Internet sub-menus.

EDIT:

I stand corrected. It has NOT been fixed. The network throttling is happening a lot later after initial connection to my WPA3 mesh network than before, maybe after an hour rather than 15-20 mins. Back to the WPA2 network.

VaishakV

aww102 I am having problems in wpa2 network

And adaptive connectivity is off
