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...

I recently got a galaxy tab and thought it would make a great interface for playing music at home.
Most of my music is on my PC and i manage to access it via cifs and it plays fine over WiFI.
I also have a home cinema system that will accept music via bluetooth, so If i have music stored on the tablet it comes out the home cinema speakers great.
Now my problem is that when I use the tablet to play music via the WiFI and bluetooth simultaniously it cuts out and stutters.
Futher reading shows that bluetooth operates over similar frequency range 2.4ghz as wifi. But unlike wifi it has no channel but hops over all channels all the time. so it not possible to select different channels to avoid the interfearance. This I think is my problem.
The Tablet does have the option for 5ghz but sadly my N router is only 2.4 and not dual channel, so i was wondering if anyone has experiance of this or thinks that moving to a dual band router will benefit me?
Thanks
Grab "wifi analyzer" from the market and post back your signal strength in dbm where the connection drops out.
I personally had a wall in my house that seriously impaired the wireless signal so I purchased 2 homeplugs, I guess you're in the states so

Then a cheap access point where you want the boosted signal
http://www.google.com/products/cata...X&ei=VRPiTsDXJNGm8gPIhaWDBA&ved=0CKsBEPMCMAM#
Wifi analyser show the signa almost at max (-40bd) though it does drop down when the music cuts out (down to -50 which is still in the green band)
I tried moving the router / sound system and tablet into the same room to eliminate signal loss due to obstructions like walls but still the problem persists.
I think either the chipset in the Galaxy tablet cannot cope with the bandwidth requirement of recieving a music stream via wifi and simultaiously outputing it via bluetooth or that the wifi and bluetooth are interfering with eachother.
Any ideas how i could determin if either of these is the cause?
thanks

With that sort of signal it does seem rather strange, a new router almost certainly wouldn't sort that out at that signal level.
Music streams usually have very low bandwidth requirements like KB/s
I would say the issue is quite probably on the bluetooth side of it.
Perhaps try changing the channel of the wireless in your router, beyond that... maybe someone else has an opinion
Bluetooth operates on a different frequency it wouldn't be interfering with the wifi signal especially on a 5ghz spectrum.

Wikipedia
Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping spread spectrum, which chops up the data being sent and transmits chunks of it on up to 79 bands (1 MHz each; centered from 2402 to 2480 MHz) in the range 2,400-2,483.5 MHz (allowing for guard bands). This range is in the globally unlicensed Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) 2.4 GHz short-range radio frequency band.
And he's using 2.4ghz Wifi
Unlikely that is the problem but worth ruling out no?
I don't think its the amount of bandwidth from the music, I tried running even irc on wifi then using Bluetooth keyboard and it cuts out wifi, however on cell data it works fine. Also I have a dual band router and got the same effect

Any chance you could force your router to 5ghz only and test again to see if the bluetooth causes the same interfearance?
Thanks
A little update on this,
I set my phone up the same way setup my table to see if the results are the same using a different device.
So music stored elsewhere in the house and streamed to the phone, and the phone transmits the music via bluetooth to the speakers.
Same problem occurs, and according to wifi analyser the wifi is strong, its the bluetooth which is having the problem.
Which leads me to believe that Bluetooth A2DP already pushes the bluetooth close to its limit and the added WiFi noise causes enough interfearance to cause the stutering music.
And this may be the case, as moving the phone or tablet right next to the bluetooth reciever on the speaker causes perfect playback.
At this point I am unsure how to go about remedying the situation, my options seem to be :
A: try to get a router that supports 5ghz and hope moving the WiFi bandwidth to a higher frequency alleviates the diruption to the bluetooth
B: try to find a DLNA based reciever for my music instead of using bluetooth.
C: open to suggestions :s
Hi, I would like to ask You friends if anyone experiencing the issue described in that topic?
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G4-Moto-G4-Plus-Moto-G4/moto-g4-plus-slow-wifi-speed/td-p/3385956
I'm struggling with it for few days and I can't fix it :/
What router are you connecting to, what frequency (are you connecting via 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz)? What's the speed of your broadband link?
Might be worth scanning your area with Inssider or another Wi-Fi scanning program to determine if you have any Wi-Fi interference from other routers or devices in the vicinity.
My broadband is slow (5Mbit) but if issue appears the speed is decreased also over LAN. I also have high ping to my router (over 100ms).
I have not any interference with other networks.
After reboot a phone or switching on/off airplane mode resolves issue for a while. Ping to my router returns to normal value. (1-15ms)

That high ping and slowdown does appear to point to interference on the 2.4 Ghz frequency (if that's what you're broadcasting on). Do you see the slowdown regardless of where you are in relation to the router?
Do you have Bluetooth on, btw or have any Bluetooth accessories nearby? Bluetooth does broadcast on similar frequencies to Wi-Fi and might be interfering, do you still get the slowdown if Bluetooth is disabled? Cordless phones and microwaves will also interfere (but not show up on a Wi-Fi network scanner).
My ping to the router (a TP-Link W8960N) over 2.4 Ghz, channel 2, is 39 ms but I get the full speeds of 4.5 Mbps expected; we had to move to channel 2 as it was the least occupied. I am about 5-10 metres away and this is through 2 brick walls.
Yes, I have bluetooth off.
I also noticed that when this problem occurs, bluetooth can't find any devices.

What firmware are you on? Does a reboot, a cache wipe or a factory reset (note, a factory reset will wipe your personal data) solve anything?
Also, are any of your other devices/computers affected by this? Perhaps reboot the router and see if this issue persists?
I did not tried only factory reset, but others users in linked topic wrote that they tried it and.. nothing ;(
I tested Wifi also by Moto G2 and it works very well.

Install netstat plus and see what sessions are open. Maybe you have something which runs in the background
When connected to band or sharing something via Bluetooth causing significant speed issues on Wifi speed, this problem doesn't occurs when bluetooth on state, it occurs when bluetooth working with something like bluetooth earphone, wearable bands, sharing something via bluetooth, Wifi speed limit goes to highest 600-700KB/s, on Android PIE
Same problem here, bro. Tried to reset network settings but still got the same problem.
I have this same "problem" for a while, but i think its more because wifi and bluetooth use the same frequency so they kinda block each other, if you try it on a 5 ghz wifi you will not have anyproblem. Also bad quality devices like cheap bluetooth headhones cause this problem even more. The "fix" i have for now its, im using a mi band 3 for notifications, so i use tasker to turn bluetooth off when screen on(because i dont want bluetooth lagging things when im using it), and just turn it on when screen off so i get the notifications on the mi band. Its not ideal and it sucks, but is the best thing i could find to kinda fix this(other than using 5 ghz wifi of course)
Rate this thread to express how you think the Redmi Note 8'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!
i have wifi bluetooth interference issue . wifi become super slow when connected to Bluetooth speaker
Using xcloud with Bluetooth adapter and wifi, xcloud is very slow. Using 4G is fine so suspect the same issue with Bluetooth and wifi interference, although on 5GHz wifi.
Me too.
Also WiFi Hotspot is very instable if Bluetooth activated.
Although the bluetooth is disabled, the wifi speed is very slow.
Redmi Note 8 has the worst wifi speed that I have seen in a smartphone ?
Can someone compare the wifi strength with another phone using an app like wifi analyzer?It would be very useful for those who are interested buying this phone like me.
hello;
I share with you the solution of the problem related to wifi (when Bluetooth is activated).
there is a setting to deactivate in the authorizations of the applications which uses Bluetooth (uncheck authorization to cut the wifi by a Bluetooth application (airpods, mi fit .... etc).
the software gives priority to a Bluetooth application instead of wifi, you have to look for this application that uses Bluetooth and go to the settings to deactivate the authorization who cut the wifi / slow down
settings
authorization
other authorization
scroll down to the application who use the bluetooth (airpod, mi fit,........)
uncheck: change wifi connectivity authorization.

the wifi / bluetooth problem is caused by this option in the settings.
bleutooth has priority over wifi; just deactivate in authorizations
therefore, the wifi download speed problem is caused by the software

but does it impact the performance of either the bluetooth or the wifi?
for example, does the bluetooth become unstable instead of the wifi?
I'm 100% sure that the wifi range is worse compared to redmi note 4x. Where the RN4x mido fared without problems, the RN8 ginko loses signal... Miui 11.

Where in the settings is this in? The only menu I can find regarding "Authorization" is "Authorization and revocation" which has essential applications of the phone.

Alrighty thanks. I did that and the WiFi is still just as bad :\
I came here looking for slow wifi speed solution. Now i am pretty sure this phone has some different wifi problem..
I get slow speed. Not always but at random times speed drops very low. Like 2 3 mbps.. i have fiber connection.
Secondly i also agree the bluetooth problem. I also noticed noticiably drop in speed while bluetooth in connected. Its not a problem with other 2ghz devices. U gt 1 2 mbps which is too slow.
I hope some update resolves this.
Whoever is facing please report this bug from the service and feedback app in the phone.i have done.
Just writing here wont solve.
Here's a comparison of the WiFi speed on my rn8 and my mi pad 4 plus. I think my rom has wrong WiFi drivers or something

So basically it's MIUI that's having this incompatibility and any other ROM's it's fine?

That just looks like you're connected to 5Ghz WiFi on the Pad. 72Mbps link speed is common for most phones on 2.4Ghz WiFi (without any channel bonding/dual spatial streams/MIMO). And even on 72Mbps link speed you can get around 4MBps data rate easy.
Not good at all, this phone looses signal in places I never had problems before...
Help me find custom Android 10 rom without problems of the wifi speed , while simultaneously connecting with BT devices.
Had the same problem mate!
I changed my wifi frequency to 5 ghz and I am now not facing any problems. Maybe you can try that.
The problem is if your wifi and Bluetooth are on the same frequency channel.
