Re: WiFi keeps dropping in Mexico
Yes. If I put it in Airplane mode, it never drops from the WiFi and everything works normally. That’s what I’ve been doing when I get back home. But that means that when I leave, I often forget to turn off WiFi mode so I don’t get messages, calls, notifications etc. until I notice. And the reverse is true. I forget to turn WiFi on when I get home, and I’m unable to cast to my devices, because I’m not connected to the same network. There’s nothing wrong with the WiFi, our other phone works perfectly well, and mine did last year as well. So while the Airplane mode workaround is functional, it’s hardly the way I want to live my life. I’d like my phone to just work. And this isn’t just for WiFi calling. It completely drops from the WiFi network, even though the signal is at full strength. So it’s more like a preference. It will connect to the WiFi, then it’s like some preference kicks in and says, “oh, drop that, he wants to be on the cell network.”13Views0likes0CommentsRe: WiFi keeps dropping in Mexico
Thanks for your response. I did look under the WiFi preferencesand advanced settings, but I didn’t find anything that would prefer the cell network over the WiFi network. I should have also said that last year, I used this same phonewhile here and never experienced this issue. What changed was that last year, I was using Google Fi and roaming on the Telcel cell network, this year, I’m using T-Mobile and roaming on the Telcel network. I’m also using the same Telmex WiFi as last year. Of course, something on my phone may have changed without my knowledge during an update. But the obvious change is that I’m now using a T-Mobile SIM instead of a Google Fi SIM.12Views0likes0CommentsWiFi keeps dropping in Mexico
For some reason, if I am connected in Mexico, my phone seems to prefer to use the cell network. My WiFi will connect for a while, then drop and I go back to the cell network. I should say that there is nothing wrong with the WiFi in my home. I have another phone connected as well as a computer, a couple tablets, Google home devices, smart plugs etc. They all work fine. And I’m connected to the Internet over high speed fiber optic. So this seems to be some setting either on my T-Mobile account or on the phone itself. I’m using a Google Pixel 7 Pro. And it seems to be some sort of preference because if I put my phone in Airplane mode and turn on WiFi while at home, my phone never drops. The connection is perfectly stable. Any ideas? Has anyone else noticed this type of behavior?249Views0likes5Comments
