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.

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

edit: screenshot got messed up I think with my purple ink but 2.4 is what I'm talking about

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.

Tried low setting, then disabling, tried connecting to voice chat both tries.., no fix 🙁 This still isn't green either

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?

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 said:
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.

WebRTC primarily uses the following ports and protocols for communication:

  1. UDP Ports: WebRTC typically uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol) for media transmission because it provides low-latency communication. The specific UDP ports used can range from 1024 to 65535, as WebRTC does not have fixed ports but rather relies on dynamic port allocation.
  2. STUN/TURN Ports: For NAT traversal, WebRTC uses STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) and TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT) servers.
    - STUN servers usually operate on port 3478 (UDP) and may also use port 3478 (TCP).
    - TURN servers typically use ports 3478 (UDP and TCP) and can also use port 5349 for secure TURN over TLS.
  3. HTTPS: For signaling, WebRTC applications often use HTTPS, which operates over port 443.
  4. WebSocket Ports: If a WebRTC application uses WebSockets for signaling, it typically operates over port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS).
In summary, while WebRTC itself doesn't have fixed ports, it utilizes a range of UDP ports for media, specific ports for STUN/TURN, and standard ports for signaling via HTTP/HTTPS.

It makes me think if there is any service running on your network disrupting the webrtc voice chatting ?

I already tried reinstslling discord 🙁

I know there are ways to... whitelist?? Ports, besides port forwarding, it asks for IPs and stuff.. I wasn't sure what to do there or if it would fix it, augh... 😣

I don't think so? I toggled the firewall on and off and we haven't installed any new services in our house, besides the new internet...

Curious....have you tried using discord on your android using mobile data?
Click to expand...
Yeah, I explain in my post that discord works fine on PC with Ethernet, but on mobile (Android) it doesn't connect on either my or my mom's tablets..

When I turn off wifi on my tablet and use a mobile hotspot (data) then discord works as it should normally.,,
