Good thing to test though for those who might have that option. I checked Dev Options and unfortunately I don't see 'WiFi scan throttling', so I just turned off Dev Options since not using any options right now.

Matthew Patrick, the MMoto g5+ is running Android 8.1. That might us to think that it's a problem with the app. Sure enough, using my Moto G5+ and the app set to L0, the meter jumped around using the AP, just like it did using the 2.4/5GHz wireless router. I should have done this sooner: To further my testing I attached a b/g/n N300 access point to the network, and disabled the wireless on the original 2.4/5GHz wireless router. Now to answer your questions:Ĭolin, yes, the jumping meter needle also occurs on the 5GHz band. First a correction: The phone used in the original post was a Moto G5+, not a G4+ ( I'll correct that after this post). Please allow me to answer both of you in this reply. I will greatly appreciate your thoughts, comments, corrections and suggestions. Then again, the phone and the app might be working perfectly, and I'm seeing continuous intermittent failure of the router's Wi-Fi circuitry.

I'm thinking that the bouncing around that I'm seeing at the L0 settings might just be a limitation of the phone (Moto G4+), and/or the app.

the lowest setting), the meter stays at -40 for a couple seconds, then bounces around the full meter all over the place, then hits 0 (zero) and stays there maybe a second or two, then bounces around some more, then maybe hits -40 and stays there a couple seconds, and this scenario just continues to repeat forever. What I've tried: Sitting next to the router, and using the Android app 'Wifi Analyzer', if set the 'Scan Interval' to L2 (the default), and then view the Signal Meter, it pegs the meter at -40dBm and stays there as expected.īut if I set the scan interval to L0 (ie. The normal state should be just 'Connected'. In the last couple months I've had increasing incidents of experiencing internet connectivity loss and seeing 'Connected, no internet' in the Wi-Fi detail of my Android phone.

Problem: I'm trying to determine if the Wi-Fi circuitry in my wired+wireless router is going bad. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this community!
