I haven't been travelling with the tablet enough after Pie upgrade. So far: -

1. OK connecting to AC86U 5G wifi
2. OK connecting to Maxis Tplink 5G wifi (default router)
3. OK connecting to Time Tplink 5G wifi (default router)
4. OK detecting a bunch of other 5G Wifi used by my neighbour in my Condo.

At the moment, I can safely say that I have NO issue with 2.4G or 5G wifi.

Wifi connection is good & stable...with Android Pie smoothness & speed.

If there is not much of a trouble for you..: -

1. Do a network reset on the tablet & see how it goes.
2. Still have trouble, do a tablet factory reset just to make sure a fresh Pie setup & no rogue apps causing you the issue.

Can you change your AC66U 5G wifi channel to anything under 50 & see?

Eg. If 48 cannot...the 44...then 40 & etc.

I used channel 40 on my Asus AC86U.

No. It's how devices based on Pie work...not only MediaPad.

For your issue...try Settings > Apps > Permissions > Location > Allow location permissions for Inssider.

MediaPad works with Multi channel. I've no issue connecting to public 5G...and I'm pretty sure they have their router set to auto channel.

Having said that, most devices will work hassle free in band 1 of the 5G spectrum...hence, for trouble shooting purposes...I suggested starting the diagnostic in the lower band.

Got this today morning. May fixed some WiFi issue some forumer is facing.

Also update security to May 2019.

M6 8.4 compared to M5 8.4

M6 Con: -
No fingerprint sensor

M6 Pro: -
Better processor (much better)
Better GPU (much better)
Bigger battery

For your usage, M5 is more than enough. That Kirin 960 + G71 may not be cutting edge...but most top game title is still playable. Do check review on games that you play & see it's performace. You can see Mate 9 performance as it's the same hardware.

For me, without the fingerprint sensor is a deal breaker. I would take M5 just for this feature.
