Pixel 11’s big modem switch hasn’t ended familiar connectivity complaints

Wait 5 sec.

TL;DRSome Pixel 11 owners are reporting connectivity problems, including unreliable 5G/mobile data, Wi-Fi dropouts, and Bluetooth issues.The reports are limited to a small number of users, with plenty of Pixel 11 owners saying their connectivity is working perfectly.It’s too early to blame the new MediaTek modem, as carriers, network conditions, routers, firmware, and individual hardware could all be factors.Google’s switch from Samsung Exynos to a MediaTek modem on the Pixel 11 series was supposed to close one of the longest-running chapters in Pixel history. After years of complaints around reception, connectivity, and cellular battery drain, the new modem arrived as one of the generation’s most meaningful upgrades.But just weeks after the Pixel 11 series went on sale, some owners are reporting connectivity problems that sound uncomfortably familiar. Reports across Reddit include phones showing a 5G icon with no internet access, refusing to connect to Wi-Fi, dropping Wi-Fi performance, and struggling to maintain a cellular connection.
