Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing. It’s annoying though because I have good 5G coverage in other parts of the city and I don’t want to have to remember to switch back and forth manually 🤷🏼‍♂️


Thanks, I’ll reach out to Google Fi support to see if they can help.


I do, but we have had several extended power outages this year and I often have to rely on cellular data in those times.


Again, there is no ‘automatic’ option. My only options are 5G, LTE, and 3G. It’s also not possible to leave the setting unconfigured. The default is 5G.

I have my modem and WiFi on a 1500va backup, but we have had several extended outages recently.


Hmmm maybe. Google Fi and Mint both use T-Mobile towers.


Well, I wish it would. It just stays on the non-working 5G unless I change the preference setting.


You would think the phone would do it on its own, but it doesn’t seem to. The default selection for preferred network type is 5G. The only other options are LTE and 3G. There is no way to leave that setting blank or automatic.

The Wi-Fi calling does generally work, but we’ve been experiencing a lot of power outages lately and I have to rely on cellular data.


LTE fail over when 5G not working?
I have a pixel 6 on Google Fi. The cell coverage at my new home is not great. If I have my preferred network type set to 5G I have no Internet connectivity. If I manually change it to LTE I get connectivity (albeit slow). Shouldn't the phone try this on its own? If not, is there a legitimate app that will do this for me transparently and effectively?
