Did you try changing the mesh setting to see if the smart setting is active so you can disable it.

Disable Smart and try the android discord to see if it works?

You did reboot??

 

[StrawberryCookie]

Tried just now Still doesn't connect after disabling smart connect on that page

 

[KingLoki]

It may need a reboot to lock in the settings.
Now you have both frequencies

NOW that you have control, in advanced settings, turn DOWN the transmit power on 2.4Ghz. That will ensure that 5Ghz is a stronger signal and devices will choose that band.

Apologies @StrawberryCookie, i meant to finish my answer to...'so what now'?. kanewolf answered it for me. 👍

I have the choice between medium and low besides high.., Should I go with low? Also should I tweak any of these other settings?

Go Low on 2.4ghz. see how it goes. Run wifi analyzer to confirm its on 5ghz

Start with medium. Since you have an Android device, I would recommend you load WIFI analyzer -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en_US It lets you see the WIFI around you. It might be the case that you have 30 competing WIFI signals and you will never get great WIFI.

I changed it to medium and Discord vc connection didn't work... also that app says it won't work on my tablet because it's for older versions of android, but I was able to get this one :O https://play.google.com/store/apps/....wifi.network.analyzer.wifi.scanner.speedtest Also wouldn't this tell me? There aren't that many devices going in the house I think

You could disable 2.4ghz at the top of the settings, leave 5ghz enabled and reboot, then check again.

You will need to readjust the settings back to the way they were if it doesn't work, so you get to the original settings at the start of post. Just in case you find devices not connecting.

Looks like you have to let Webrtc to use your audio. Discord/Instgram/Skype probably all use webrtc audio.

Can you also disable AI Wi-Fi Optimizer and Wi-Fi Protected Setup?

 

[KingLoki]

Ok, thats dissapointing. Just for now I don't have anything else to try atm. Its harder not having it to physically work on. Just reverse the steps we suggested to get it back to how it was and hopefully a fix is not far away. 🤔👍

Oh, I skipped testing my camera on mic this time to get to the network results faster lol, it remains the same though literally everything else is okay

Yeah (( I'm sad. I turned 2.4 back on and set it back to high. Should I enable mesh and smart settings again too?

 

[KingLoki]

Yeah you can. Get it back to how it was at the start preferably, then reboot 👍

Okay the settings are turned back.. What could be blocking UDP ?

(Also unfortunately i must nap but I'll reply later if there's new posts here...! I'm happy to be getting help 🥺 Ty)

Uninstall all voice chat apps, reboot, and reinstall them on Android see if it helps.
