### How can I remove the scanning restriction on Xiaomi/Redmi phone

Starting with Android 9, bandwidth throttling will limit all apps that test WiFi signals, allowing only four signal scans every two minutes. Scans need to be performed more frequently for best results. This restriction can be disabled in your phone settings.
