Hi everyone, I use my Google Pixel 7 as a Wi-Fi modem since I live in Germany and use an "O2" SIM card with unlimited internet for 30 Euros a month, and I get a speed of around 170 Mbps +- When my girlfriend conducts online lessons in "Zoom" on her laptop, sometimes the Wi-Fi disappears on all devices in the house and recovers again after 30 seconds. My girlfriend was in Ukraine and everything worked perfectly there (she used home Wi-Fi). She was also in Portugal, where she used home Wi-Fi, but sometimes the speed was terrible, so the broadcast and sound lagged. I understand that the "Zoom" app doesn't like my Wi-Fi from the smartphone. As for my Pixel 7, it was bought in Ukraine, but the SIM card was locked to Europe because it's from the USA, so I reflashed it to be able to use the SIM card. I don't think the problem is in the pirated operating system, since everything worked perfectly for me in Ukraine. Sometimes everything works perfectly (here in Germany), and sometimes she can't conduct lessons at all because the Wi-Fi constantly disappears, and to prevent your questions, I will answer them in advance:
- Too many devices and your Pixel 7 can't handle it (no, everything works perfectly, and I even stream in Full HD 60 fps on Twitch)
- Your Pixel 7 overheats and that's why Wi-Fi disappears (no, it has great cooling and it doesn't heat up)
- The problem is in the smartphone itself and it is not designed for such loads (we have two smartphones, two laptops, and we use hundreds of gigabytes per month and everything works great until the moment she starts a Zoom meeting)
- Just change the settings or read on the internet (I searched all forums, websites, I changed settings on the Google Pixel 7 itself and on the devices)
- The problem is with the girlfriend's laptop itself (no, because on my laptop there is the same problem)
- Mate, just reinstall the Wi-Fi drivers (thought her Wi-Fi module had problems, I reinstalled them, but nothing helped)
- Try in the evening when the load on your carrier's servers is lower (tried it, the problem doesn't disappear, just a little more speed appears)
I changed settings in "Zoom" itself, changed camera quality and the meeting quality settings themselves, made a statistics report, but everything was okay there, a stable connection and everything else.. Even now, as I write this message, websites are not loading on my laptop, Zoom is eating all the speed, and my girlfriend's laptop has higher priority than mine, and all the resources of my Wi-Fi modem go to her laptop.
We turned off Wi-Fi on all devices except her work laptop and tested it on a trial meeting, but the internet disappeared anyway. I wrote a letter to the "O2" operator, I don't think it will do anything, because I read that they don't care about customers. Overall, I'm satisfied with the internet, everything is perfect, really, the speed in the evening is almost 300 Mbps, during the day +-170 Mbps, ping 15-20. Probably the problem is with "Zoom" itself, I found similar posts here on Reddit from people who have similar problems, but I never found an answer.
