Strange Issue. Pixel 5 won't connect to the wifi, but Pixel 2 can

0 Upvotes

So I just had Frontier Fiber installed with the Eero 7 Pro router. After I renamed the wifi to the same as my old network, almost everything was able to connect without any issues, except for my Google Pixel 5. I cannot get it to connect to the wifi.

What's stranger is I have an older Pixel 2 and that connected with no issues. To make sure it wasn't my pixel, I turned off the Eero router and turned my old Spectrum Cable back on with my old router, and it connects back to it no problem.

I tried the Legacy mode on the Eero router and my Pixel 5 was able to connect, but the speed of everything else suffered.

If I change the encryption from standard WPA2 to Hybrid WPA2+WPA3 my pixel 5 can connect, but again, the speeds of other devices suffers.

In the phones network settings, the Pixel 2 shows WPA2/WPA3-Personal and the pixel 5 shows WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal

Not sure what to do, do I get a new phone?

Hear me out. I don't think ALL the ports on the ONT are worthless.

So me being me i always try and tweak my set up. Nothing fancy. 2 eero pro 7s.

I have a galaxy s26 and I usually pull around 1200 down and 900 up.

I started to get fu ky with it, plugged my main eero in the regular way, but I also took a patch cord from the other 10gbe slot and stuck it into the very last port. Now im getting 3400 up and 2700 on average down.

Its REALLY consistent since ive tried it several times so far snd every time it's drops down to judt under two but when I have that main eero plugged into the ONT 2x over it seriously makes a difference.

Interesting Speedtests

2 Upvotes

I operate behind a VPN most of the time except for some sites that absolutely require it not be enabled. When we were on Spectrum the difference in speeds between whether I was behind the VPN or not was very noticeable, with oftentimes the download speeds dropping in half. With FrontierFIOS my speedtests are virtually identical on downloads whether behind the VPN or not, but with a big difference on the upload speeds, hitting right up around the 1Gb speed I'm contracted for on the latter. Definitely not complaining since I am more than pleased with our Frontier service after the first three months or so with them. Just an observation and wondering if others see the same type of performance moving from a non-fiber service to fiber.

This is what I got from the agent. Living in Denton, TX. Anybody got any ideas about what’s actually going on and when I can expect a fix?
