Why X80 5G Always Changes Provider? Want Solutions
If your X80 5G constantly switching providers, it’s not normal. It means that the network is set up wrong. The most common reasons include unstable mobile settings, problems with the SIM card, or a poor carrier signal, as the device can’t remain confined to one network. To fix it, you need to reset the right mobile settings and set up the TP Link Deco again from scratch to make sure the service stays reliable. This guide will show you what occurred, what didn’t work, and how to fix it.
1. Spotting the Problem
My X80 5G constantly switches the main signal, roaming, and even a secondary SIM, sometimes while downloading or on the phone. What could be done?
- Limit the number of suspects (SIM or device),
- Look at the settings (network lock, APN),
- Update the firmware, and
- Check it against another SIM or phone.
2. Rule Out SIM & Provider Issues
Try another SIM card in the X80 phone before blaming it:
- Insert a different company’s SIM.
- Keep an eye on it to see whether it still shifts between providers.
- Check to see whether it acts the same way.
When the device changes between the two SIMs, the phone might be the problem.
3. Change the settings for your mobile network
The X80 lets you choose how to manage your chosen network and roaming. This is the change that will stop this random network switching:
- Open Settings and then Mobile Network.
- Select Network Operators and change “Auto” to “Manual.”
- Let it scan, and then choose your main network.
- Unless you go beyond the US, turn off Data Roaming.
That manual lock stops the gadget from connecting to the first network it comes across. Still seeing network dropouts from time to time? Go deeper.
4. Update the software on your device and carrier
Carriers bring out important upgrades, notably for 5G optimization:
- On your X80, go to Settings and then System Update.
- Make sure you have the most recent version.
- Put in each SIM one at a time and look for updates that are particular to your carrier in About Phone > SIM Info.
Updates usually solve small faults in 5G handovers that happen when the signal is weak.
5. Check the APN settings (very important step)
If the APN (Access Point Name) is wrong, the phone will have to roam or switch networks.
This is how to accomplish it:
- Go to Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
- Check the official values on your provider’s support website against the SIM APN.
- Fix any mistakes, notably in the MMSC or proxy fields.
- Save it, turn it on, and restart.
The gadget remained locked on the right SIM and provider all day after that.
6. Use a different 5G device as a standard
To make sure this isn’t a problem with the whole carrier, turn on the same SIM in a test 5G device that is close by. It will remain stable on the network and never move between providers, which shows that the issue was just with the X80 hardware or firmware.
7. Change the settings for your network
As a last resort, do a network reset:
- Open Settings, then System, and then Reset Options.
- Choose Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile, and Bluetooth.
Add both SIMs back and set them up again by hand as shown before.
Static settings took the place of old choices that could have been creating problems with roaming.
8. Use TP Link Deco to make your home network stronger
After making changes to the mobile device, do a complete TP Link Deco setup to make sure the Wi-Fi maintained strong:
- Use an ethernet cable to connect the main Deco unit to the router.
- Download and install the Deco app, then log in and follow the instructions for guided deco login.
- Set up a robust 5 GHz network so that devices can switch quickly.
- Turn on Wi-Fi Assist so that devices may transition from mobile to Wi-Fi automatically when the signal is strong.
9. Last Tests and Checks
After setting everything up:
- Make phone calls, download files, and upload files for half an hour.
- Put the gadget in your pocket and stroll about.
- The network operator should stay the same.
- If you have to switch SIMs again, do the procedures again.
In conclusion
If the X80 5G continues switching carriers, it’s typically because the mobile settings aren’t set up correctly or the firmware is out of current. It’s not always the SIM that’s to blame. The main steps are:
- Make sure you know about all the difficulties with the SIM.
- Update the firmware and carrier profiles.
- Check the values of the APN.
- If you need to, reset the network settings.
To avoid Wi-Fi fallback, make sure that everything is connected to the stable TP Link Deco setup by setting up the right deco login. Take control of your Wi-Fi and mobile networks, and you’ll never have to switch providers again.
