any of you guys get problems with 5GHz wireless?

i can't connect to my routers' 5GHz networks at all. it will keep giving authentication problems

this is across 2 rmn3 phones. with 7.3.2.0 and 7.3.5.0

my rmn2 works fine though

You need to set to lower channels. 36 to 48. RN3 don't work well with higher channels for 5Ghz

KNN.. Again...

Just reached home and sit right in front of my 5ghz router also cannot auto connect.

Instead it connected to my weak 2.4ghz from the router far away in my room.

I will lower the channel later to see it fixes the issue.

It won't work with channels >48. Tried at my friend's house using ac88u. Can detect but won't connect when it's set to ch157. But 36 no problem.

Using 5GHz, no issues connecting to it as long in range

On ac68u

I am on channel 157/80. Configured as auto though.

How about 2.4ghz? Any good channel?

My 2.4ghz is on Channel 11 now on the other router.

 

[kelvinti]

Ok.

Just changed my Channel to 36 on my 5ghz router.

Channel 48 indeed doesn't work!

Will report back the result later.

Hookay!

I will change my 2.4ghz to Channel 5 to see if it improves.

Thanks, bro!

Hookay!

Walk to and from my room to living hall and via verse 5 times since then...

Now, it switches from 2.4ghz/5 to 5ghz/36 and via verse instantly......Awesome!

Bro! Thank you so much for your valuable advice! You save my day!

Thanks again!

My neighbourhood shop got ready stock but selling at $358!

Chop cucumber head mei!

But again! To be fair! They needs to mark up from $299 to earn wah!

So, let's do the sum:

> $358 - $299 = $59 extra.
> Let's say you use the phone for 2 years (24 months).
> It's just a mere $2.45 extra per month or $0.08 extra per day over 24 months compared to Xiaomi official price of $299.
> So, no feel at all, right!

Not the bad actually since this is a good phone! So, just get it while stock lasts before you regret!

So, I think it's reasonably high price if you want to get one now!

Well, 16:9 always look better than 4:3.

I have never used 4:3 even though it has full 16MP pixel. 4:3 looks funny unless you don't mind to crop it to 16:9 after every shots.

Actually it depends on the objects you're taking photo of. Sometimes wide frame very difficult to avoid the unwanted objects at both (left & right) sides. 4:3 may be too squarish but this old school format is most suitable under certain situations like photo of someone accepting prize/certificate etc. The best balance is 3:2 which is the same as standard 4R print.

Someone mentioned that challenger has stocks. Might as well buy from there
