Can anyone verify this solution? I did a rollback from Android 9 Beta (3_25B) to Android 8.1 (2_50A_SP01) and refused the update to Android 9 (3.30B) because I haven't seen a proper solution for this bug...

Hello,

FIX!

I was having the same issues as everyone in this thread until I followed the steps below.

Step 1) Go to settings >> network and internet >> Hotspot and Tethering >> set up Wi-Fi hotspot >> Select AP Band >> 2.4 GHz band. >>> done.

Step 2) Now try using again.

Step 3) Please try to force restart device by pressing volume up key and power key button for 20 sec then device will vibrate and device automatically restart

This doesn't work...... after force restart WiFi work good, than switch off for a while & switch on after few minutes it takes long long time to connect to Wifi , specially 5ghz. At 2.4ghz Speed very slow......else all other device giving great Speed.

I'm facing the same problem. Before update to PIE. My phone use wifi is very good. But after update, i can not find the wifi.

user1541493537667 · November 2018

Same here. But yet there is not any kind of solution from Nokia. They will simply tell you to follow there troubleshooting options, and if it doesn't work (will never work). They are gonna ask you to visit service center.

I had the same wifi issue after upgrading to andriod pie, I tried every thing to fix it from resetting my phone to resetting my router
Finally I changed my widi broadcasting channel manually and my phone connected perfectly fine!

user1534838615823 · November 2018

subir · November 2018

I am automatically getting connected with WiFi and Bluetooth as well. I have to manually click again and again to switch off

user1543232982950 · November 2018

Did any one figure out what the problem is? my Wifi is malfunctioning as well, after Android Pie update. Temporarily fixing it by restarting every time.
Is there some way to rollback, to the previous android version?

It seems worked for me for few hours.
Tried this method and reset the network setting.

This is the most common issue after pie update in nokia 6.1 plus i suggest you to reset the settings of mobile wifi bluetooth and give a shot. I did it on my friends device and he is not facing this issue henceforth.

Even the hotspot is not working. And if it works, the connection speed is alow as ****.

harpreet1104 · November 2018

Very ridiculous, just a patch but no solution to Wifi bug..... Nokia support is sleeping.

user1543414054165 · November 2018

I am also facing the same problem and if it gets connected internet download speed is almost none. I checked it using speed test okala. I simultaneously checked the speed on my old Nexus 5 and Nokia 6.1 plus by connecting to the same wifi router. But Nokia 6.1 plus showing very very low speed.

HappyMoririn · November 2018

I have the same problem too. I've tried to talk with the supports but no one could help me to solve this issue. Many solutions which they suggested didn't work.

ambadasvh · November 2018

Im also facing the same issue.

ashutoshm07 · November 2018

This is a very serious issue. My WiFi router broadcasts both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequency. If I disconnect my WiFi for sometime, say for 2-4 minutes, and try to reconnect, it won't connect to 5Ghz network but 2.4G and that too after some delay and the speed I get on 2.4G is extremely slow. FYI, 2.4G WiFi can deliver upto 72Mbps on this device and I have 200 Mbps connection but the speed I get is merely 1-2 Mbps on speed test. On top of that, 5G SSID is nowhere to be seen which can deliver upto 433 Mbps. The same network works fine on my mom's device on both frequencies tested simultaneously. This issue issue makes my device pretty useless for a 200 Mbps connection! Only way I can regain 5G WiFi connection is to restart the device which is extremely annoying and harmful for the device in the long run.
