S23 ULTRA WIFI 6 ISSUES PERSIST AFTER APRIL UPDATE

[sebseb88]

So I thought April's update would bring a fix for the dreaded WiFi 6 issue but it has done nothing ! 

Issue is weird as it keeps on coming and going as in it'll all be fine for a day or 2 and then happens again and is so frustrating ! What used to work for me before the April update was toggle WiFi on and off on the phone and it would be ok but for a while but now it won't help, the only odd thing that does temporarily work is when I have the issue of WiFi not loading anything up / stalling is to long press the WiFi icon in notification panel then WiFi straight away shows connected again and then switch back to what I was doing. Definitely a bug from the S23 Ultra side ! 

Never had a problem with my old S22 ultra / Fold 4 / Flip 4 / iPhone 14 Pro max, only happens with this phone !

I have a pair of mesh eero pro 6 routers which I never had an issue with and all devices I have connected to it always worked (both WiFi 5 and 6) just this phone.

Spoke to Samsung on twitter just before march update and they said they were aware of the issue and we're working on a fix but then came march update, nothing... Then came April update, nothing. When I spoke to them again on twitter they were like, sorry to hear we haven't heard about any issues regarding WiFi on S23 Ultra 🤦 so back to square one I guess !

Absolutely love the phone but this issue is a main one for me, I mean it's 2023 who doesn't need reliable WiFi nowadays !

Turn off the default setting for BSS transitioning on your router. It's on by default. It's not a wildly accepted setting for wifi6 so just turn it off and watch the issue disappear.

Well, its 2024 and still no coconut. Every year they release an almost perfect phone but 1 little thung has to spoil it. This wifi 6 issue tho, takes the p1ss !

 For those in the back not listening. It's your junk router, not the phone!  Notice my wifi 6 connection.

OMG Wifi 6 works just fine for me as well. It's not the phone. It's the router configuration.

I just received a replacement phone from Verizon Asurion.

They wisely upgraded my S22 Ultra to the S23.

So far, no further problems.

Router configuration is a false idol.

Moron, all the products support wifi 6.

Do not speak ignorance.

How about dropping the false misdirected solutions you're are offering.  Is Samsung paying you?

Router BSS configuration is a false BS  misdirection.

The S2X, S2x+ work without BSS BS.  It is the Ultra that has been the problem.

Samsung should stop using people like you to cry for them.

We need a real solutions.  Not propaganda.

Hopefully, Samsung learned its lesson and the S24 Ultra is pristine & does not need faux defenders.

[JoefromNYC]

Turning BSS off is only needed if you have a poorly designed Samsung device.

Rather than compromising all your other devices, either replace Samsung OR, better yet, Samsung should fix its problems.

[JoefromNYC]

Agreed.

What makes matters worse if that they have foot soldiers defending failure and blaming other devices.

This is so lame.

Just solve the issue by getting a Samsung device that actually works.

What a novel concept!!  LOL
