Just got the X80 Pro but I was shocked about the poor wifi performance. Does anyone have the optimum Windows settings that will get the max out of the Realtek RTL8723BS wifi adapter?
June 28, 2016 at 3:20 pm #42171What about android? Becausr mine device is working very slow few meters from router eventhough wifi signal is about half or even more full.
June 28, 2016 at 6:06 pm #42205Good one! Under Android it’s way better so it must be Windows related. Got full bars under both systems but under Windows I got 2 Mbs max and Android speedtests showed 15 Mbs.
June 28, 2016 at 8:57 pm #42217Hello. I have problem with my wifi too. 3 metres from router i cant get a full reception. Speed of wifi is quiet good in that distance but sometimes ping is getting huge. I’ ve found a little tip which can help us to solve this problem.

June 29, 2016 at 9:50 pm #42317I am mostly using android . today i resoldered wifi cable 3 times ,every time i shorted the ground ( my soldering skills and solder gun are not the best). I have ordered a wifi antenna from galaxy s3 and try to install it somewhere inside. I’ll post the results.
July 1, 2016 at 6:08 pm #42417Hi Luc, please keep us posted as I have read some people having success with the crappy realtec wireless by replacing the antenna with a more premium one on other devices.
Really interested to hear how it goes, sorry about your soldering adventures.
July 4, 2016 at 2:36 pm #42595After 3 failures with soldering (antena shorted with ground) i desoldered antenna cable. I discovered that antenna itself is shorted. I checked in another cheap tablet that was in my drawer and it was the same – hot and ground soldering fields on the antenna was shorted ass well. I dont know what to think about it. Maybe it suppose to be like that or maybe those cheap ,sticker like antennas are faulty . im still waiting for s3 antenna. When it comes ill do a test and post results.
July 4, 2016 at 3:31 pm #42600Do you have any video how to open this tablet? Because I need to change my broken touch screen. I rage quit, because of bad wifi (video below) 😀

July 4, 2016 at 5:01 pm #42605Hehe, man dont hurt yourself. Your wifi really sucks. How far was it from router? Drink piwo 🙂

Haha that’s how I broke my Chuwi Hi8!
Which reminds me: would it be possible to replace the wifi card in the Teclast by the wifi from the Chuwi? It was so much better.

I was actually recording video for banggood to get at least few bucks as refund for bad wifi, then this happened 😀
This wasn’t so far from router, about 4-5 meters, but one wall and ceiling. Other devices (even other chinese tablets), manage to get full speed (10mbit).
Drinking pivo (beer) is not a bad idea, to at least calm down a little 😀July 8, 2016 at 1:02 pm #42905Ok. Here are results of my test. On stock antenna i have about 64db signal. Next i soldered the galaxy s3 antenna which wasnt shorted (stock Teclast is shorted). The results on samsung antena was really poor. Weak signal and poor speed. So oveall i returned to stock setup. My conclusion is that nothing can be done to improve wireless on this tablet. I think im gonna sell it and save more money for some decent device like Mipad. Im fed up with shiity devices. I had two chuwi vi10 pro all with issues. Now this Teclast is a failure in wireless.
July 9, 2016 at 8:40 am #42986That’s why I’m convinced it’s some settings or bios related issue. Many laptops and tablets have the same Realtek card without these problems.
July 9, 2016 at 6:24 pm #43016Is the bad wifi through the whole X80 series or are there some models with better Wifi for example the X80 Power
