Why didn't they test WiFi before releasing the phone? Jul 1, 2017

    What started off as a minor annoyance is now infuriating. The WiFi stops working every so often and I have to disconnect and reconnect to get online again.

    Surely this is one of the most basic things to get right on a smart phone. Just a small amount of basic testing would have revealed this problem.

    Still waiting for this to be fixed. (the last update didn't work for me).

    Not fixed for me either. A temporary workaround is setting your wifi settings on the phone to 2.4GHz only.

    It seems to be no general problem, because the WiFi on my OPs5 works fine and without any interuption.

    Maybe it depends on the router. It doesn't like our Virgin media (UK) router at all. But it seems to work or with the BT Hub (one of the most common UK providers hubs).

    actually I was doing some testing.
    I think it might be to do with the changes in channel freq and width mhz.
    since most people do not configure their own routers fully these settings are usually on auto and the frequency of the router can change periodically.
    I can't confirm this for sure but I started to get wifi drops, I set my router back to my preferred channel and I don't get drops anymore.

    I've had no issues with the WiFi on my OnePlus 5, and I've only been using the 5GHz network at home.

    I'm not affected so far, it seems, this problem occurs with certain routers only. They weren't able to test every combination, but I'm pretty sure they'll address this in upcoming updates...
