Will This Root Method Unlock Blazing-Fast WiFi 6GHz on Your OnePlus 13?
WiFi 6GHz, also known as WiFi 6E, offers superior speed, lower latency, and less interference compared to traditional 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. While the OnePlus 13 hardware supports WiFi 6E, software restrictions may prevent access in certain regions. These limitations can be bypassed by modifying the device’s country code at the system level.
Important
- This process requires root access (Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch).
- Always back up your data before proceeding.
- Ensure compliance with local regulations regarding 6GHz WiFi usage.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Use Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch to gain root access.
- Go to Settings > About Phone and tap Build Number seven times to enable Developer Options.
- Navigate to Settings > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
- Download and extract the Android SDK Platform Tools on your computer.
- Open a Command Prompt in the platform-tools directory.
- Enter the following commands:
adb shell su cmd wifi get-country-code US
- Check if your device can now scan for 6GHz networks.
- Download the WiFiCountryCodeUS.zip Magisk module (credit: XDA member lksavaewf).
- Flash the module using Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch.
- Restart your device.
- If you need a different country code, extract the module, edit the service.sh file, and change: TARGET_COUNTRY=”US” to your preferred country code. Reflash the modified module.
How It Works
The module forces your device to use the U.S. country code, unlocking 6GHz WiFi support since the U.S. allows unlicensed 6GHz usage. On boot, the command cmd wifi get-country-code US is executed, enabling the new spectrum.
Alternative Magisk Modules
Some developers offer modules for enabling both WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 on rooted Android devices. Check reputable sources like GitHub for updated modules and instructions.
Key Considerations
- Using 6GHz WiFi may not be legal in all countries. Always check local regulations before enabling.
- Rooting your device can void warranties and may cause system instability if not done correctly.
