So I updated my Pixel XL to O this morning. I'm now noticing the WI-FI, which was working fine before, is now dropping my wi-fi connection every 10 seconds or so. So frustrating when trying to do stuff like play online games or use the internet. I don't want to use a bunch of my data.

Anybody else having the same problem? Or have some advice?

I'm a doink! My wi-fi extender just needed a good reset. I connected to my router and it worked fine so it was something with my extender.

Glad to hear it was something that simple.

It's doing it again. And I don't think it's my extender since my computer and chromebook connect fine with no dropping. Don't have a clue what is wrong. About to throw my phone out the window and buy a Note 8. Sick of the Pixel problems.

It's either going to be a Nokia 8 for me or I'm gonna hold out for the 9 which will be coming also

It's not the extender, or your wifi. I'm having this same issue, with my Pixel XL as well. Laptop, and tablets connect fine and stay connected. The Pixel has always seemed to deliver below average "speeds" from three different test sites, but this latest update has taken the problem to a new level. Even right by my router, I'm getting garbage results.

P.S. Don't throw the phone out of your window. That'd be a waste of a great camera

Haha yeah not gonna do that :P It's frustrating. I never had the wifi problems with my Pixel until right after the Oreo update. Grrrr. And it connects fine to my main router downstairs. It's just my extender and my Pixel that don't want to cooperate.

Have you tried changing the channel on the extender? WiFi drop outs usually indicate interference. Try the free WiFi Analyzer app (I've had this on my last three phones, it's legit) to find if there is other stuff nearby on the same channel, and/or see what channel is least-used in your area. I'm having no problems with WiFi on my Pixel XL (I was in the beta).

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode to see if you have the same problem there? If you don't have the problem in Safe Mode, then it's likely a third party app or apps causing the problem.

get the Sep security patch. I might have some fix for your issue

[toddjc]

Downloading the Sept patch and the Wi-fi analyzer app. If they don't work I'll try safe mode to see if it's an app.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

If the issue is with just the extender, check to see if there is a firmware update for the device.
