Software Update: Android 11 for Fairphone 3 and 3+

I made a ticket about this issue, because the connection from my FP3+ to my Fritz!box 5530 router is abysmal on the 5Ghz band in Wifi5 mode. On any channel (32-128) the download link is switching continuously from 120mbit to 7mbit or connection fails on the higher channel (64 and up) I switched the wifi settings on my Fritz box from wifi6 or wifi5 to wifi4, and the problem is gone. However my other devices suffer from this low bandwidth ( from 700mbit down to 150mbit max). On lineageOS this p…

And, yes I made a ticket on support when I posted about it. (June 1st) What they did with it? They marked the issues as ‘solved’ without any follow-up or reply from support.

That’s how Fairphone rolls when they don’t want to acknowledge the problem.

And yes, the issues with wifi on 5GHz with routers is a long standing problem, especially with Fritz!Box routers.

My FP3 doesn't like higher 5Ghz Wifi channels, especially channel 116

Hi everyone, when I wanted to transfer a larger file from my NAS to my FP3 I was surprised by the low speed. I then found out that it was only connected to my 2,4Ghz Wifi, not the faster 5Ghz one (my FRITZ!Box 7560 router is providing both frequencies, with the same SSID). Normally the phone should auto-select the better one. Anyway, after forcing the FP3 to 5Ghz only, I was even more surprised (in a very negative way) that the phone could barely keep the connection stable. Speed was abysmal…

But I will test the new update on my router when I have time.
