I am truly hoping for “software program solely” resolution, slightly change: USE BOTH. WiFi and 5G, one thing that may say:
use 5G all the time to spice up the WiFi
Or perhaps some machine studying (if / else assertion), figuring out the precise distance from the router, and if elevated by 5 meters within the final 2 seconds robotically fireplace up 5G.
Positively doable. Am I lacking one thing apparent?
5G/LTE ≠ WiFi
I do not imply to sound dismissive or flippant, however sure, you’re lacking one thing fairly apparent: a basic understanding of the variations between 5G/LTE and WiFi bands (radio frequencies). You are additionally lacking the basics of routing and having a multi-homed community.
The one factor these two applied sciences have in frequent is that they use RF because the transmission medium. The applied sciences and protocols to get related to are vastly completely different. To additional complicate this, you may’t (should not) have two impartial gateways to the Web (multi-homed gateway) operating concurrently. From a purely networking perspective (ignoring the radio transmission portion of this), having to connections introduces all kinds of points like which interface is site visitors routed by way of, how does the firewall deal with the periods created, and so forth.
use 5G all the time to spice up the WiFi
It isn’t clear what you are making an attempt to perform right here because the applied sciences are too disparate for one to “enhance” one other. That is like saying you desire a bike to spice up your automotive – it is not sensible.
Connecting iPhone to each WiFi community and 4G/5G concurrently…Somebody requested a while in the past and I can not imagine it isn’t sorted…
It’s/was sorted, already. The Apple Dialogue you linked has been, in reality, answered (appropriately) and it applies to this query as nicely:
You’ll be able to’t concurrently have a number of Web connections. This has nothing to do with the present date or whether or not folks expertise the difficulty – just one gateway (connection to the Web) energetic at any time. It comes all the way down to you having two completely different radio bands (2.4/5Ghz spectrum and GSM/LTE), each performing because the default route on your Web site visitors. Nothing goes to “change” till it turns into disconnected.
…Or perhaps some machine studying (if / else assertion), figuring out the precise distance from the router, and if elevated by 5 meters within the final 2 seconds robotically fireplace up 5G.
Even when this had been a believable resolution, *simply how are you anticipating to function on the firmware degree to implement this “machine studying algorithm” (rhetorical)?
The issue in a nutshell…
…as I stroll across the backyard, it loses the connection. The straightforward workaround is to have WiFi extender. I am truly hoping for “software program solely” resolution,
That’s the reply: a WiFi extender.
The issue you are making an attempt to resolve is a weak sign at a particlar location in your backyard. It could possibly be from simply the situation or you will have sufficient corregated steel and/or hen wire strung in that space such that there is a faraday cage impact being created. Till a correct website survey will be completed, we are able to solely guess. However, what we do know is that your telephone has a bodily impediment in making a powerful and clear connection to the WiFi radio(s). It is a bodily drawback and the answer must be a bodily.
TL;DR
Somebody requested a while in the past and I can not imagine it isn’t sorted: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254808545?sortBy=finest
It has been sorted – get a WiFi extender. You are over complicating issues with this handoff sort change on the node slightly than on the community. Switching networks (two utterly completely different networks at that) just isn’t so simple as it’s possible you’ll suppose it’s. All the things from the IP, the DNS, the saved session states throughout the firewall will all break whenever you change on this method.
