WiFi strength, range, and throughput - Huawei MediaPad M5 Real Life Review

Rate this thread to express how you think the Huawei MediaPad M5's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Wifi alone performs really well, but once you turn on bluetooth it becomes terrible. Download speeds of less than 1 mbps, barely usable.

@ZunsheV I cannot confirm the behavior you are describing. Having switched on bluetooth only without any traffic on it doesn't slow down the WiFi connection speed for me. It's a bit different when I am transferrring data over bluetooth in parallel or if bluetooth is scanning for devices. In those cases I can notice a slowdown, too.

Can more people chip in who bought m5? Does it have bluetooth/wifi problem? I plan on use it with bluetooth headphones so it would be major problem. I saw m3 had this problem.

I've got problems with the WiFi here, I've tested with Bluetooth speaker and gamepad with no slowdown at all

Using Wifi while connected to a bluetooth device slows downloads significantly.
I connected to my 5G wifi point and my Bragi headphones and it took several minutes to download a game from Google Play; turning off bluetooth and downloading a different game took only a few seconds (same wifi connection).
i'd go Samsung but the cheapest tablet with a fingerprint reader is running MARSHMALLOW (!).

I have no problems with bluetooth and wifi. No differences with bluetooth on and connected to my charge 3 and with bluetooth off. I have an M5 Wi fi only

I have the same problems. When the WiFi and Bluetooth is turned on, the speed falls dramatically.
I use WiFi 5 ghz router and Bluetooth jbl clip2.

No problems with my M5 8"LTE bluetooth or wifi, even when both are aktiv. Both works as it should.
edit: after some testing there is a "problem" with wifi speed 2.4Ghz when streaming music via BT, but not on 5Ghz.
Maybe not device relaited? Because my M2 8" LTE and my iPhone 7+ does the same

Hi everyone, how did you manage to get the mediapad m5 connected to 5ghz wifi, mine is not detecting any 5ghz wifi,

Probably you should try to change the channel of your router ...

Poor WiFi performance even when Bluetooth is off
I recently bought an Mediapad M5 and already next day i reclaimed it because of WiFi issues. At first start up i installed all availble system updates, restarted the Mediapad and checked WiFi performace. I noticed the downlink didnt gave me the normal speed as i have on my other devices (Galaxy TAB S, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S9) and that was when all other connections as Bluetooth was switched off. I have an 250/100 MBit/s service from my ISP wich usually give me approx 245/100 MBits/s on the 5 GHz wireless network. The Medipad gave me 120/100 MBit/s (50 % downlink speed of what i am used to get) and poor latency in comparation to the others. I tried what was under my possibilitys to do, reset network settings and also as final a factory reset. Nothing of that solved the issues. So it was an easy decision to take and reclaim the Huawei Mediapad M5 crap mediapad and get the money back.
Furthermore there was other annoying issues on the Mediapad M5. It was not possible to use all of the apps i earlier bought from Google Play and are using on my old Galaxy TAB S and on my Galaxy S9. Apps for monitoring WiFi connection, e.g WiFi Overview 360 Pro and WiFi Analyzer - both are well reputation apps, didnt work properly on Mediapad M5 depending of Huaweis app regulations. Using these apps on the Mediapad M5 i was only allowed to see the network i was attached to. Nothing else. I spoked with Huawei support desk and they confirmed that Huawei have restrictions for what apps users are allowed to run on Huawei devices.
So if you are going to purchase a new tablet, make a proper consideration before you choose a Huawei Mediapad device.

Good on my M5 10.8
I use 5GHz wifi and bluetooth is always on (and connected sometimes), i still get a link speed equivalent to my desktop with a dedicated PCIE wifi card (867mbps) and with a case on it sometimes beats my desktop wifi speed.
Haven't tried bluetooth with 2.4GHz, it's slower yes, but i never noticed it, only 2.4GHz wifi ive used is out and about on public wifi and that's slow anyway (verify with my phone)
Also worth noting that i think my model might be a cellular model in disguise, it has the gyroscope which is exclusive to the cellular model, and a thermal sensor for the modem.

The WiFi / Bluetooth issue is not specific to this device. It happens on everything using the 2.4G WiFi band. Ise 5G and problem is gone.

Is using a USB bluetooth adapter over OTG an option?

You should have a good router for a stable 5ghz connection. I had dir-809. The signal was very unstable even in the same room a few meters away, the speed of my internet is 150 mbit, but ive got rarely above 90mbit, because of the 100 mbit wan port.
Now I'm using very cheap but much, much better tenda ac10 router. The signal is strong and stable even in the room next to the router, where i haven't signal before. The link speed on my p20 is 520-750 mbit, on the mediapad around 390-433 mbit. I've got 150 mbit internet speed (150 is the isp limitation.) I'd wish the tablet to support mu-mimo, but as i know only p20/p20 pro/mate 10 pro Porsche support the technology.

Worst. 4 times less speed than before Turbo GPU and August Security Patch update. Avoid!
Edit: I panicked a little bit too much. After that I played with my router's 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz bands, divided it into two different wifi names, then connected to my M5. After everything - changed to that one wifi name with 2 bands. Now it's working as it should.

I get about half the speed on the M5 than i do with my Mate 10 or my desktop, with bluetooth off.
Also the wifi signal is good if you're in direct sight of the router and within 20 meters, once i go behind a wall i lose signal.

Try working with your router - a change of channel number could solve the problem. Also, check if you connect to 5ghz band as this could get you nicer speeds.

There is significant speed decrease in wifi speed with Bluetooth on. It appears on 5ghz network too. With Bluetooth off i get around 200 mbit/s.
The problem doesn't appear on p20. I've got around 400 mbit/s with Bluetooth always on.

how do you troubleshot wifi issues?

i did the basic checking and didnt find any problems
i got galasxy s5 tmobile 4.4.2 android stock rom rooted
and it supposedly supports 5g wifi but when i use it the wifi just dies out after some time and becomes like dial up speeds.
facebook doesnt even load pictures or update
same thing happends with reglar wifi but after a longer period of time
im suspecting my router but dont know for sure i got a brand new modem router n600 c3700-100nas with 50mbps comcast connection
i already set it to free channel on both 2.4 and 5g wifi also checked all the settings on the router its all normal
ran the speed test on the phone but it keeps using wireless network to run it and gets 84.38mbps tops depending on the day
and when i switch to cellphone network its fast i got 3gb cap so i try to conserve
wifi at home sucks ass and at work i have an older router and its good there.
wifi analyzer shows signal strength between 50-65dbm most of the times
but wifi 5g signal strength is alwayss weaker for some reason
You are right, 5ghz band will always be weaker, the higher the band the shorter the range, so 2.4ghz(standard) will go mjch farther that 5ghz. If this is an issues with both the channels i would for sure check the router for issues, if its only happening on the 5ghz band i'd just stick to 2.4ghz unless you REALLY want to be on 5ghz.

is there any tools to test wifi that can tell me where the problem is?
ive been testing from my desktop and from cellphone best i can but my network skills are just slightly above noob.
i have some free tools on desktop for network troubleshooting but i havent used them yet(just downloaded)
on the phone i couldnt find many
im looking for some monitoring tools maybe ones that show graphs or something to show me whats goin on during the slow down times and what might be causing it.
if i remember correctly its not the wifi signal because that stays good all the time

No signal drop. Wifi range is pretty good..
WiFi range is pretty good and stable even with weak signal.
No WiFi signal drops yet since launch day
Wi-Fi range it's horrible, where I had no problem to stay on Wi-Fi in my flat with Mi4c, Honor 10 drops connection
It has noticeably worse range than my 5 year old Note 3. My old phone, laptops and iPad have no issues with Wifi downstairs, this thing drops out fairly often.
worst wifi & bt phone ever!!!! While bt connected to MiBand is the wifi useless.. speed drops to 0,01Mbit and 0, then disconnects. When BT is turned off everything is normal. I also tried connecting to other BT devices like speaker, hi-fi sound system, smart watches. Every device was on different places, so each time I was connected to different wifi network. I haven't those problems with Mi 4 C.

Mine works great on wifi/4g when its conected to my smartwatch.
Do a factory reset, and try again.

My friend your ISP is ****. If upload is more than download then there is a problem on your ISP. Now as i see on your other test it switched server terminals. Well you can not blame your device for that. But say thanks to your ****ty provider

Have you tried turn it off & on again? I must say only LOL LOL LOOOOL.. havent you read my previous posts??? I said I tried that on many places (many ISP)! This is not about the ISP, nor router because I had testet three phones side by side (at home with two different routers) - old crappy Redmi 1s, Mi 4C and this super-fancy Honor 10.. guess which phone is having the slowest connection speed with BT & Wifi enabled
Anyway.. here's nice picture for you with some sh*tty ISP 3Mbit over. 40/40Mbit plan.
I think its a dual problem too hardware+provider, i got 120 download and 110 upload wifi with my provider, as i should on my 500 Mbs plan+router I get even the same results on my y520 laptop on wifi.
As for the bt+wifi, its not normal.
Cant you get a refund?

There is a lot situations why is downlink slower as uplink - eg. QoS set on the router and I can tell you it's not the providers fault in my case. My HTPC on LAN has the top priority for web and it's always above 40/40 on my 40/40 speed plan. Secondly it's 2,4GHz Mikrotik RB wifi and it's crappy during the day when every wifi in the neighbor is active.
A little bit update: I found that when Amazfit Watch app is disconnected from my Huami Amazfit Watch the speed is terrible. Once I connect them together again the speed is okay. Tried also uninstalling Amazfit Watch app and the speed was great. Maybe related to this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/amazfit-pace-wifi-problem-phone-t3664805 so I should move there with my problem.
do you have a "book case or flip case "? i wonder if the magnets inside those cases can mess up the radio's..
because they sure as hell mess up the compass.
nope.. rubber Nillkin case
Problem solved?
Bluetooth+Wifi together without any problem?
what's the maximum bandwidth you guys managed to get with this phone? Is it 866mbps or only 433mbps? I can get 866mbps for my LG V30+ phone on my wifi router (Nighthawk X4S) but only can get 433mbps for the Honor 10 phone..
Just got this phone yesterday. I noticed that sending messages in WhatsApp stalled with the little clock icon. At least for 10 seconds or more. It made me investigate. I changed to 4G and messages get sent straight away. So I done the usually rebooted router, device and tried again. Same problems. WiFi test on 200mbit connection 5ghz was giving me 130mbit. My old Nexus 6 gets full speed. 2.4ghz no better, on Nexus 6 I get 130/140mbit, the honour 10 I get a measly 43mbit. The phone obviously has a problem. I've tested other devices and all including my old Galaxy S5 get max speed via WiFi. I do these tests right next to the router. I feel this phone isn't as good as it's made out to be. Yes it's a nice phone, great speed and camera but it for some reason takes ages to send WhatsApp messages and load YouTube videos, something my Nexus 6 never did. Bit disappointed as it's only new yesterday. A factory reset should not be needed at all.
================
A small update to this. I read around that the problems could be related to Bluetooth causing the slow browser load times, Instagram not loading and the problem I had with WhatsApp messages taking ages to go through. Basically I went to Bluetooth scanning settings in settings area and turned it off. I also turned off WiFi scan settings as you only need to scan for WiFi when you know there is WiFi to be picked up. Both I turned off and the different in browsing, loading of apps and WhatsApp are amazing.
Below a screen of the settings turned off. Hope this helps others.

Wi-fi speed slow after connection of Bluetooth device

Hello
So after doing some tests I could verify that...
If you are connected to a Bluetooth device, the wi-fi speed is very much slower.?
Can you do a Speedtest before and after Bluetooth connection with some device...
( I used mi band 3 and a headset to do the tests )
Can you see the difference?? ?
Is there a solution to this??
I can confirm this running Android Pie December's patch. I am using Mi Band 2 and in PUBG Mobile delay is raised from 50ms to 250ms. Turning off Bluetooth solves that instantly.
If you disable GPS (location) speed is a bit better.
only solution is to get 5ghz router(or disable BT while you surfing on the wifi), BT and 2.4 ghz wi-fi are working at about the same frequency

I use WiFi 2,4 ghz AND bluetooth (miband3) all the time on. I use Macrodroid (or automate or tasker) for disabling location (GPS) when I'm connected to my home WiFi so I get full speed WiFi and I can receive notifications from my band.

Is this the case to all devices with similar hardware or is a issue with the Rom programming that makes this use of the same band?
I say it because there's maybe a way to fix this via custom roms, im tired of not being able to watch streams and use my wireless earbuds at the same time....
I have the same similar problem...
When I use my mi band 3 ( Bluetooth watch )
The internet speed is very slow
So, i tried testing the speeds and i found that it's random the type of problem that i got.
In my case im using Apple's Airpods gen 1
- most of the time i have slow or non working wifi connection (tested with youtube and twitch apps) and videos will only load at 144p (at this point is better to not use bluetooth or not watch the video)
- other times videos will not even load
- sometimes the Bluetooth earbuds will start to connect and disconnected continuously and the only way to fix this is turning off Bluetooth and reconnecting again to Bluetooth
- sometimes all problems are fixed in that way but also internet connection becomes a bit sluggish and phone heats up
- sometimes when no audio is playing for a certain time earbuds reconnect but this is maybe a battery saving method in the earbuds themselves
- its literally impossible to watch videos with Bluetooth connected and via wifi if you have a thin wall between you and the router, i live in a small house and being in any room except the one with the router will render video playback impossible.
I think this is more than a wifi - Bluetooth band issue and more of a software issue the more i test this issues
Is there a way or can someone contact Xiaomi to fix this issue? I really feel that this have gone worse since PIE update...
I beginning to think that the problem is the phone hardware, for what I have seen mi A1 uses the same antenna to Bluetooth/ WiFi/ Data
That's why we have this problem of speed...
In other phones, this functions are separated by others antenna...
That's what I think...

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy A50's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength.

Wifi connection overall good, but 5GHz keep dropping often. On 2.4GHz it holds better even on weak signal.
Yes, 5Ghz keeps dropping a lot.
range is average however this phone uses a single beam connections over both bands making it only able to connect at 72Mbps over 2.4Ghz and 150Mbps over 5Ghz and both gives a less than average throughput to be honest compared to even much cheaper phones I've tested.
5ghz channel is not showing
Hellow. In my a50-sma505f, 5ghz wifi channel is not showing. Is it any how software related?
QR code password share
I cant share wifi password using qr code. This feature was present earlier.
I've speed tested over 200mbps with link speeds near 400mbps so you're clearly mistaken.
I think someone is wrong, on my SM-A505FN I often reach 2.4GHz to 100Mbit / sec and 5.8GHz still up to 300Mbit / sec. Speed, quality and reliability are among the best I've ever tried. If you have problems with WiFi, try focusing on your router's firmware first, or try changing its router manufacturer. But you are definitely not alone with these problems, although this should not happen due to standards, the opposite is true.
Most Arris routers I've connected on my A505G/DS to both 2.4 and 5.8 drops out (exclamation mark next to wifi signal) when doing anything heavy bandwidth related. Only seems to work good when connected to my netgear wifi extender. Speeds aren't as fast as other devices also. I've reset the device so I have no idea what's up but I'm disappointed with this.
Wi Fi strenght is pretty weak and I compared I few models. The results are that Samsung A50 showed signal same as Nokia from 2010 with Symbian OS....disapointed....
https://youtu.be/yxeiDqNOa1U
according for my using for this device around 1 week wifi is acceptable but i noticed there many options not there any more like wps setting and QR code scan to share wifi access key ... didn't like that we supposed to get more features not the opposite ..
Not happy with WiFi. Slow loading videos most of the time and stop&go so annoying. Very often when I try to open news, for example, I see msg "No Internet connection. Try again." Even if it show me it's connected. I have a problem to connect this phone with my Toyota 2019 Entune. It shows me phone paired with care but I can't listen music. It slow loading and interrapting. I do not recommend this phone. Older versions WiFi is better.

Wifi strength is poor for me.
Currently at miui 10.2.7. 0
Signal strength is ok. But idk why every time i connect to a 2.4Ghz AP the link speed is 72Mbps max and that means a max speed of 50Mbps.
I've been experiencing Wifi Drops no matter the MIUI. Tried the Xiaomi.eu too and it's the same.

Same here, only used stable default rom, I think device is faulty, should connect with service center
I am getting a stable wifi speed of 72 Mbps where as my Honor 6x is getting 121 Mbps when kept side by side. But no drops etc. seen. I am on latest 10.3.7.
Check the sleep settings if available in the router (normally part of the power saver or beacon settings depending on the router model) that can cause the connection to disconnect to save power in both router and mobile
Signal of wifi is good but speed is not, the same AP i used to do speedtest app, Mi max 3 is better RM N 7 pro ( MM3 is about 50Mb, RMN7 pro is about 35Mb )
Here link it's fast and stable on an Arcadyan Router.

On some forums, there are reports about WiFi problems related to a shared bands on the same SSID.
The common fix is to separate the bands 2.4 and 5G on a different SSIDs.
In my case, this config works without separate the bands.

Hi,
I am staying at Hyatt House Reston, VA.
They have a wifi from cox, i am able to connect through laptop, i can connect to the wifi router and then open web browser open their page and place the password and get connected.
however while i try to connect through my phones, one is Moto G5 plus and second is Redmi Note 7 Pro, both are not getting connected to wifi router. (if i get connected to wifi router i can go to web page and connect to internet)
i tried to forget wifi, restart phone etc however it goes on 'connecting' then 'saved' then 'disconnected' and keep on doing the same connecting-disconnecting but never goes into 'connected' state.
I have found that the problem is with only Android users however Samsung users are able to connect to the wifi after some efforts.
Please let me know how i can check if this some settings related issue or it is a router issue.

that's likely case if router doesn't support Band steering, since 2.4Ghz will have higher signal strength, and thus preferred choice.
unless router support band steering (or Band select) it recommended to keep separate SSID for both 2.4G and 5 G
---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------
based on my testing, Redmi Note 7 pro is 1x1 MIMO on both 2.4G and 5G (AC supported). Thus max data rate is 72/144 MBps (96/173 with proprietary 256-QAM) (20MHz/40MHz) and 433Mbps with AC (80MHz) .
I got around 60/50 Mbps (download/upload) on speedtest for 2.4G 20Mhz. And 260 Mbps on 5GHz.
On this same router (4x4 MIMO, with latest broadcomm chipset), i got 660Mbps on my Mi Mix2 since it support 2x2 MIMO (n/ac) with upto 866 Mbps data rate.

usually for debugging Wi-Fi connectivity, isolate Wi-Fi association and IP connectivity issue.
If your Wi-Fi is connected initially but you don't get dhcp IP( you get 169.xxx.xxx.xxx Ip range) and phone automatically disconnect, then likely Wi-Fi association is okay. So its L2/L3 issue. Is there any black listing or whitelisting of device?
Wifi display is getting disconnected after 4-5 min every time. I am using phone from 2 months. regularly updated MIUI. Do i need to go to service center?

Do you have dual Band router?
Sometime if you have separate SSID for 2.4G and 5G saved on phone and you are in location were 5Ghz signal is weak, phone will switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz every now and again.
Try to remove password for one of the SSID and stay near to router to see if this is the reason.
WiFi is rubbish!
Sorry, but a max Wireless-AC connection speed of 433Mbps is garbage for a 2019 handset!
My 2015 Moto X Force and my 2014 Samsung Note Pro 12.2 both connect at 866Mbps to my Linksys WRT32X router.
This is on China ROM 10.3.11. I'm hoping that the India ROM 10.3.13 will perform better?
*** EDIT ***
It does not!
I've tried three different ROMs now, China 10.3.11, India 10.3.13 and EU 11 beta 9.9.26 and the WiFi is the same on all three. Seems like 433Mbps is a physical limit. This is OK for Internet browsing, but pretty poor for device to device copies over a LAN. USB-C is the saving grace here, so long as you have a PC / laptop that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 connections !

I've tried three different ROMs now, China 10.3.11, India 10.3.13 and EU 11 beta 9.9.26 and the WiFi is the same on all three. Seems like 433Mbps is a physical limit. This is OK for Internet browsing, but pretty poor for device to device copies over a LAN. USB-C is the saving grace here, so long as you have a PC / laptop that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 connections !

Wi-Fi is hardware design choice. As i mention its 1x1 MIMO on both 2.4/5GHz with support for AC(5GHz).
Most of the mid level hardware/phones are like this.
I have Blackberry DTEK60 which has similar Wi-Fi setup and countless other middle end phones be it from Huawei or Samsung. Xiaomi actually have 2x2MIMO with AC for high end MI series just like Samsung. Its just Redmi series where they cut certain hardware features.
I think its no brainer to include 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi, anything lower is either stupidity or incompetence. I can actually see the different in Wi-Fi performance between my Mi MIX2s and Redmi Note 7 pro because my room is two walls away from Router.
I know how Wi-Fi works and thus i can understand why it happens when i loose connectivity. Most people will blame Phone, but the fact is, Wi-Fi is good for the design spec, its just bad design choice they made.
Just got a RN7 Pro and wifi speed is slow (72mbs). My RN5 Pro next to it gets 150mbs. Is this a design flaw in the 7 Pro? Its not the router! Again, the 5 Pro is perfectly fine and twice the speed of the 7 pro, side by side. Any solution to this, ie, moving to different rom other than Miui?

Here it happens also on an Arkadyan Router from Jazztel/Orange Spain.
But it seems mostly related to the Router.
At some point,
Phone connects to the 2.4GHz band and the speed is locked to 72Mb.
I just reScann 5.2Ghz Channel and it reconnects to AC again at 486+/-, even far away from the Router.
--
The Router 2.4Ghz band is locked at 144Mb instead of 300Mb, so the link is too low.
You can try InSSider or another tool to check real Router's band speed.
You can play also toggleing between 20/40Mh frequency.
There's a RN5Pro global here also, and sometimes happens to it that too.

My wifi 2.4ghz works now @ 150 mbps. When I got the phone with miui 10, it was 72mbps and when upgraded to miui 11.06 still stuck at 72mbps. When I changed to miui.eu dev rom (9.12.12) it works @ 150mbps. So all OK for me on the 2.4ghz band.
