Title: Xiaomi Redmi 7a Wifi Issues - Connected but Not Working, Large File Downloads on LTE

Question

Hello forum members

Me and my wife are Xiaomi Redmi 7A.

Everything is OK with me, but my wife has a problem with Wifi:

- the network is visible in the wifi settings
- home network is saved as "connected"
- no wi-fi symbol
- they don't want to download large files, e.g. updates, because there is no wifi
- everything that is possible goes on cellular LTE, and it's a shame about the transfer, especially when you are at home

Can anyone help me with this topic?

For starters, you can only reset the network settings, not the entire phone right away. In the reset options, you should have this as one of your selections.

A common xiaomi problem, 99% of your router serves both 2.4 and 5Ghz as one network. Separate and the problem will go away as soon as you take away.

Does the phone connect properly to other WiFi networks?

Hello

No, this is the case for any wifi network.

So he sees them, theoretically connects to the network, but actually "drives" on a cellular transfer.
I recognized the fact that when I turn off the transfer, the internet on the phone does not work - despite the "connection" to wifi.

And the wifi symbol is not displayed on the phone display.

Only when I enter the wifi settings, there is a "connected" field and the network is listed there.
But, of course, there is no actual connection.

Could it be some issue of the phone wifi module not working?

Have you tried factory reset?

lysy0800 · Answer

I have not tried and I have some concerns that most of the installed updates require active LTE ...
Well, more importantly - I have to dump everything on the PC ...

But I was able to download the update on the PC and I'm just putting it on the phone. We'll see. If that doesn't help, it's a reset tomorrow.

EDIT

And it did not help ...

Thank you for your response. According to the manual, frequency is in the range of 2.4-2.4835GHz. I will try to enter the router settings (when I find the TP-LINK manual). But something is strange here - I have the same model, it connects to the router without any problems. I also checked sharing as Hotspot from my phone to my wife (my hotspot, my wife's wifi). And it flashes. Edit: I did as @ N0n3_ advised, i.e. I split the signal and it works Thank you very much for your help. Only the Wi-Fi symbol is not on the wife's phone, but when I turn off mobile data, the internet flashes.

Sorry, false start. However, it doesn't work anymore ... So wifi is in connected settings, but there is no symbol on the phone. And it doesn't really work ...

Good day.

I will come back to the topic. When I was on vacation the wifi on my wife's phone worked with what was on the resort.

At home nichuchu. I don't know how to split the signal on my router. I was rummaging around in every possible option, but none of that.

Please help.

Good morning Does any of the Forum members have contact with this TP-LINK and know how to set WI-FI (also called FIFI-RIFI) to make the net work on the phone? Model TL-WR841N
