Poor Wifi Hi 10 Air

I have had my Hi10 Air for a few months now and am finding it a struggle for it to stay connected to WiFI. I can be in a room where both my HP Laptops have good signal and good speed, as does my phone, however my Air is showing very low signal and i get much lower speed. for example speedtest on the other devices shows approx 20 up and 5 down whereas on the air its typically only 3 up and 1 down and it struggles to work. Any advice or upgrades needed?? thanks

Do you have bluetooth enabled on your tablet? If you use bluetooth and Wi-Fi together, then the speed of Wi-Fi will be very low.

Some of the problems of the WiFi connection are solved simply by restoring the device.
To do this you must go to startup, configuration, update and security, recovery, restore this PC.
Check that you want to keep your files when you ask and put the charger.
A process will begin that will last several hours and that should not stop even if it seems that it is not moving forward.
Do the WiFi tests when finished and analyze if you have improved the results.

thanks - i will give that a try

It is true. On some devices, when sharing the same card for WiFi and Bluetooth, WiFi performance slowdowns occur when a Bluetooth device is connected.

I just soldered the second wi-fi PCB module to the usb line and use it for wi-fi connection, and use internal wi-fi for bluetooth :slight_smile:

hi - thanks - however I had already tried resetting to original build and it has made no difference

I have the same problem. Is there any fix?

I have the same problem. In general I’m happy with my Chuwi hi 10 air performance. But when on the internet, the wifi is very slow

Hello BioSham

Interested in your workaround. Please can you explain how do you found this usb line to solder the wifi? Can this be done without any usb hub?
Thanks

You can solder any usb device and take 3v from wi-fi module or 5v from pogo usb connector.
This is m.2 pinout


and here is 3v

I do not understand… the hi10 air has m.2 connector?
And from pogo connector, I use the external keyboard, does it affect in any way?

Thanks

Not soldered


You can solder any low power device and it will be ok. Or you can find any other 5v on board.

Do you mean I need an extra wifi adapter and solder it in the board? Where to find that wifi adapter?

Appreciate if you have step by step instruction (or picture).

I’m so bad at explaining :slight_smile:
You can disassemble any usb wi-fi and connect 5V VCC to a pogo connector but i took wi-fi from another tablet, so i will connect VCC to a 3.3v
For example i have KWH-7601-U1.

I don’t know how to search this type of wi-fi, but there you can find another modules.

WOw thank you u so much for that diagram. I will try this.
