My Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ suddenly cannot detect my Wi-Fi 6 GHz SSID anymore
Hi all,
All of a sudden my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ cannot detect my Wi-Fi 6 GHz SSID anymore:
- Previously, the Tab S8+ was connected to my Wi-Fi 6 GHz SSID;
- My mobile can detect and connect to the Wi-Fi 6 GHz SSID;
- My Tab S8+ can detect the backhaul Wi-Fi 6 GHz SSID, but obviously cannot connect to it;
- The Wi-Fi 6 GHz SSID is not hidden;
- As a test, I enabled the Wi-Fi 6 GHz guest network - still not visible from the Tab S8+ (but visible from my mobile);
- There are no blocked devices in the Deco system;
- Also, a Wi-Fi Analyzer app on the Tab S8+ doesn't detect the Wi-Fi 6 GHz network/SSID. The same app can detect it on my mobile. The app does detect the backhaul Wi-Fi 6 GHz network/SSID on the Tab S8+.
But interestingly, both my Tab S8+ and mobile (Samsung S23 Ultra) just recently had an update to the Android OS. My Tab S8+ (and mobile) runs:
- Android v14
- Open UI v6.1
- Android security patch level: 1 May 2024
Does anyone know if the Android OS update has a bug? I've read that previous OS versions had bugs like this.
Thanks,
Thomas Birk
Hey @Thomas_Birk,
I have good news!
My tablet has received a full system upgrade finally that has resolved the issue!
It can connect to Wifi 6E again, just as before. Same AP, same SSID, it works again.
When the tablet restarted, it connected to it automatically, no tweaking needed.
These are the details of the Android (OneUI) update that solved it at last:
One UI version: 6.1.1
Android version: 14
Version: X800XXU8CXHB / X800OXM8CXHB
Size: 2890.76 MB
Security patch level: August 1, 2024
Hope it helps, and you'll also receive one soon!
Cheers, mate!
