Well I have been trying to figure out what is happening with my WiFi speeds on my Nexus. I just moved a few days ago and I now have some pretty fast internet unfortunately no 4G here so I rely on the WiFi. With my new faster WiFi I noticed I was getting slower speeds than with my other devices in the house. I have 2 Galaxy Tabs 10.1 and 2 Galaxy Notes, and a Thunderbolt. With all my other devices I get about 30 Mbps down, but on my Nexus I just can't get good speeds. I average about 11-12 Mbps with an occasional 16-17 Mbps still half of what I'm getting with my other devices.
I have a netgear router which has 802.11n so all of these devices should work. I have tried everything but nothings makes it any better. Today I got my first replacement and it has the same problem or issue.
I have made a Video. Sorry for the quality I was in a hurry in not so good lighting.
If you have any comments or suggestion please post them below.
Youtube Video: http://youtu.be/Zc1O96De7OU
Sorry the video audio cuts out at about 4:30 but in the end you can see some of the results from Today.
Wow I guess nobody else has the same problem.
Try changing the wifi frequency band to 5ghz only in advanced settings.

Could be your router. They don't make good routers anymore that aren't simultaneous dual band. Your GNex sounds like it's the only dual-band device you have.

Well according to specs, the Galaxy Tabs, and the Galaxy Notes are Wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n so I would think they are multi band as well. What gets me is the other devices work good, only the Nexus will not perform on the Wifi like the others.
If it was the router I don't think the other devices would work good. Maybe I'm wrong.
I experience about the same speeds. I've got a Netgear 802.11g router at home and pull maybe 11-14mbps depending. But over at my parent's house with a Cisco/Linksys 802.11n router (same ISP), I get about the same speeds, maxing out at maybe 17-18mbps.
That obviously doesn't feel slow by any means though. Never sat there thinking that I'm getting inferior speeds. 17mbps is kinda overkill for the phone, especially with super small ping times.

Not sure what your parents speed is supposed to be, would be interesting to know? And it's not a issue of overkill, it is just something is not right with the WiFi on this phone. For myself I use the WiFi heavily especially since I only have 3 G where I live so I would like to take advantage of the fully capable speeds I have.
Anyone with a fast internet connection (30 Mbps +) can you test your Wifi speeds with your Nexus and post your results. I want to see if anyone can get a fast speed close to your PC or other devices.
Mine goes about as fast as anything else on my network but I have DSL... 3mbps tops
Edit: Actually the upload speed is reporting as faster than my internet actually is. (554kbps when my cap is 384kbps and my PC reads 320kbps) I vaguely remember a reviewer saying there was a bug in the Speedtest.net app that caches uploads or something like that and reports higher than it actually is.
Download speed is reading what it should be though.

Yes thanks, but I don't seem to see a difference with speeds below 12-15 Mbps so I really need someone with a faster connection to try.

Thats what I have charter, and I can't get much more than what you showed on a regular basis. But on my other devices I can consistently get 30 Mbps.
Thanks for helping I appreciate it.
Here is the speed with my Galaxy Note
Just reporting that I have wifi issues as well. My router is downstairs so it may as well be a penetration issue, but I'm pulling less than 5mbps on a 10mbps cable internet connection.
I've done numerous tests in the past with an EVO 3D, iPod Touch, and GS2. All report 10mbps consistently even when I'm upstairs while the Nexus struggles to load a webpage. I also tried a test downstairs and the Nexus did well pulling 10mbps but it is also inconsistent.
This is a weird problem.
No problem. download Adobe air!
It fixed and improved YouTube

Very interesting. I have TWC and their 30 down 5 up plan and I only see 11-12 down with the nexus. Something just not right with the nexus. Ran the test at the same spot with my wife's T-Mobile GS2 and hers maxed out at our TWC 30/5 limit. WHAT THE HECK! And this spot is 3 -5 ft away from the wifi router. Maybe the new drivers in 4.0.4 fix this issue?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Hmm, after redoing the test downstairs, my wifi speeds seem to be in line with my other devices. Still does not solve the inconsistent speeds when I'm upstairs though, whereas my other devices plow through the speeds with consistency.
I just got my nexus and having problems with my wifi connection . YouTube is stopping, audio stream Pandora or tune in radio all stopping and playing . Never had problem with any other phones. I havevthe galaxybs 2 and the note and they have no problem streaming any video or audio.

I seem to get amazing speeds in my phone using SpeedTest.net's Android app but when I setup WiFi Tether to my laptop and try the same test from SpeedTest.net, the speed drops dramatically.
in-Phone speed: 6-7mbps
laptop speed over Wifi Tether: 1.4-1.5mbps
Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing? What kinds of speeds are you guys getting?
Sounds like your phone speed is from Wimax or Wifi.
Wireless tether only uses 3G. Which would put it about right.
What? I thought we could do Wifi Tether with 4G and that was the point of having 4G?
That would be retarded if we had to do it over 3G.
When I Wifi Tether, my 4G icon is still on.
Also, I'm using Myn's ROM. I tested it before and after applying the "remove speed throttling" hack and both results in the same poor results.
Im having this same issue... wtf.
Well the data governor hack dosent make 4g or 3g any faster it just removes the overall data cap that sprint sets. I too have noticed a distinct difference in speed with wifi tether and I asked about this before m, being told that wifi tether uses 4g but from my own personal findings is that the phone gets preety warm when using tether and the warmer it gets say above 90 degrees the performance sucks. I put the phone in my window sill and get that temp to about 75 it works flawlessly. Idk if this is the correlation that were missing but it sure would be nice to know for sure if it is using 4g or not

How are you guys getting such high speeds on your phone? I'm in a 4G area and I don't think I've ever seen more than 3mbps...

I get that speed about 25% of the time. Normally, it's more between 4-6/7mbps
But SpeedTest.net scores are DECEIVING. I think all these ISP's have figured out that we use it for testing so they optimized somehow to score higher. I don't get anywhere near those speeds when streaming from SouthparkStudios.com.
I wish SpeedTest would change their algorithm or whatever so ISP's can't rig their scores.
nice thread to have found - I was wondering how some people had such high speeds also - the best I have gotten is 5 mbps myself - think I have gotten 1.5 mbps up once but usually 900 kbps to 1 mbps if 4G is on - had full bars above the 4G once and still didn't test that great.
btw Neo3D do you mind letting me know what that blue icon is in your status bar? just wondering (never seen that)
also just this past friday I ran tests with a friend's iphone 3 and wifi tether is definitely slow slow slow (has the latest and greatest wifi security etc. but slow)
we ran the same tests using barnacle wifi tether and everything was much faster - has less security as in it only uses WEP (if you configure it) that I could find (not saying I didn't miss something tho - I am still digging into the program)
as for tests, we did netflix streaming and downloaded a 20 MB app and timed it (big difference in how long it took) and used speedtest.net app (big difference showed in this app to)
if anyone knows of a reason why more people don't use barnacle please let me know - I always see everyone referencing and saying to use wireless tether
I'm having issues with my GNex on 5GHz networks. The networks drop out and are generally unstable. It is not the networks themselves that are unstable, as the signal is rock stable on nearby laptops.
The blue line is the 5GHz network. It is the only 5GHz network within range, so interference is unlikely to be the issue. This router is a WNDR4000, which is pretty much rock solid on both frequencies. The 5GHz network is on channel 48, no automatic channel setup.

Anyone know what might be the issue? Is 5Ghz working fine for others? Is my HW broken?
(I'll be pretty pissed if my HW is broken TBH. I got it back from its third service today...)
There is a hardware issue with 5GHz WiFi on the Galaxy Nexus. I can only connect to 5GHz WiFi networks if I am standing directly next to the router. There is a thread regarding this issue.
Mine is brand new and it does it.

Welcome to the Galaxy Nexus. Just pretend it never had 5ghz support, you'll be far happier for it. My 5ghz up and stopped working entirely when the phone was only a month or so old. 2.4 is still going strong, although at lower speeds then any other device connected to it. Samsung put a real joke of a wifi chip in this phone.
reading the title i thought sum1 used liquid nitrogen and overclocked our cortex A-9 to 5 Ghz dam m disappointed
My Nexus must be defective. I'm hooked to a 5Ghz network without issues.
Did you pay attention during Physics class?
Higher frequencies will not penetrate things like walls or yourself as good as lower frequencies, think 800MHz and 2.4GHz WiFi, the cell tower obviously can penetrate buildings better. Just you turning away from the router can make the bars drop a bar or 2.

Yes, I did. Did you pay attention to what I wrote? Using my laptop in the same location, I get >20MB/s speeds on 5GHz without a hitch and the signal is rock steady.
We're talking line of sight, 3-4 meters of air. Not really something that 5GHz should have trouble penetrating.

Then disregard what i said, i'm just trying to say that just turning your body can make your signal drop.
And you can't compare a "high powered" card in your laptop to the one in your phone..

Well, actually I can. Monitoring the signal on my laptop shows a rock solid signal. Pretty much anywhere in the house actually.
So the signal in itself is good and stable. Now, I expect the reception to be somewhat worse on the GNex due to antenna limitations and space restrictions for the tranciever. However, I can still expect a signal that doesn't go completely dead for 5-20 seconds at a time while being in the same room as the router. My One X does not have these dropouts, I only experience these with the GNex.
I don't expect even half the speed or reception compared to my laptop, but I expect the signal to be somewhat stable on the GNex when there are no issues on the laptop.

Comparing the gnex to the one x is fine, but to a laptop is a big no no. Laptops have more power to the wlan card, not to mention it have more antenna than the gnex. If it works fine on the one x, then yes, the gnex have problems.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?

The laptop is my "baseline", verifying that the signal is on and stable 100% percent of the time. The amount of power is of little importance, since we're only talking recieving, not transmitting. The signal won't be as good as the laptop due to the antennas (as I already pointed out. Did you read what I wrote?), but I should be able to compare the stability of the signal. And it's definitely not good.

Because not all locations I visit have 2,4GHz. And 5GHz is much less crowded than 2,4GHz. Infact, at home, there are no other 5GHz networks at all.

The WiFi on my phone seems to be limited to 3-4Mbps. At home I have a 12M connection. If I run a SpeedTest.net test from my Laptop on WiFi I will get 10-12Mbps. Seconds later run SpeedTest.net on my phone.... 3-4, sometime 5. This does not seem to be isolated to the Verizon HTC One. My son-in-law has the One on Sprint and we have observed the same thing.
Does anyone know if is a ROM, Radio, or possibly antenna issue? Is anyone else having the same problem? And most importantly does anyone know of a fix!!!

Yes, after doing some research I discovered that the HTC One "needs" a router that supports 802.11 ac to gain true speeds. While this is cool that the phone supports this latest version of 802.11, it is ridiculous that the phone does not also support the older routers fully. A standard g router is rated at 54Mbps, so there is no reason to be stuck at 7Mbps. Plus my router is a 802.11 n and rated at 300Mbps.
Any way, it looks like if I want access to the full bandwidth of my home internet on my phone, I will have to drop $150-$250 for a 802.11 ac router.

Awesome replies people...I just learned something new today.
I am going to check my router configs when I get home to see if that is part of the problem of why I can't access the xda app truly from wifi...
These are my speeds at home. I pay nothing for internet. I work in engineering for the company that provides it. I have no doubt I could peg a speed test at work to whatever my highest link speed is.

What internet are you guys paying for and how do you get such great speeds?
I can't even get over 10 down.
Has to be fibre optic
those speeds are insanely awesome.

Holy hell batman! Your school must be on dual band .N or even .AC, i'm stuck sadly on the 2.4ghz .N channel, so hence the bottleneck. Our Universities fiber pipe can go well beyond that.

Is that actually outside your wifi network or just internal? Big difference

Disconnect from your schools wifi and see how fast it goes.

My previous photo is from where I work, we have a 1Gb fiber connection, I have seen speedtests as high as 260Mbps on my Note3. On my coworkers new Macbook Pro he can get about 300Mbps from the same access point (Aruba ap-225 AC). Wired and when the students are off campus, I can get 800Mbps, so there is some bottleneck with the wireless throughput, but the Note 3 is nearly as good as the MBP, which is really something!

Man, I thought the 65Mbps I have at home was fast...

Is that actually outside your wifi network or just internal? Big difference

I noticed he was referring to his internet connection in the screenshot after I posted. The title indicates the WIFI speed capacity the Note 3 will handle not who has the fastest internet connection. My internet is only 30 down and 5 up which is still plenty fast. The highest link speed on the WIFI connection on my note 3 was 384 I believe. I have an AC router and that is on the 5GHz connection. The 2.4GHz isn't as fast.

My previous photo is from where I work, we have a 1Gb fiber connection, I have seen speedtests as high as 260Mbps on my Note3. On my coworkers new Macbook Pro he can get about 300Mbps from the same access point (Aruba ap-225 AC).

I never thought I'd hate someone for their bandwidth, but you, sir, have earned it. ?

We have done lots of testing on link speed vs actual throughput at work, and even the MacBook Pro's with new AC wireless cards to our Aruba ap-225's say 800Mbps link speed, but we are lucky to pull 400Mbps in local file transfer tests. The AC speeds are all theoretical, actual transfer will likely never be close to link speed, but the firmware on our Arubas is still not optimal, so I know that is our bottleneck.

I obviously must have been living in a tree like a hermit since the 21st century came along. I was not even aware of speeds via wi fi like this.
HAHA and this was me thinking my 30 meg up and 2 meg down was lightning.
Imagine this thread on dialup lol

Oh yes, the golden days 2400 baud rate dial up . Seemed like yesterday! I am assuming these types of speeds is near impossible for home set ups? In my area I think the fastest is 50 meg down via Bright House.
Well I'm in Mexico right now and the Hotel's WiFi reminds of the Dial Up days. Right now I'll take any of the slowest speeds posted. I think I'm getting less then 1mb dowbload. This trip made me appreciate how far data speeds have come in the U.S.

Has anyone noticed how bad the Wifi is with G3? Note note 3 was much better.

Wifi on mine is perfect. I just did a speedtest to post a screenshot. I like my G3 however im a huge fan of samsung. I bought this phone cause my note 3 went for a ride in the washer. I was wearing baggy cargo shorts and forgot it was in the side pocket. Still sold it for 150 even though it wouldn't turn on. The Amazon buyer was aware of what happened. I have no complaints with my G3. Still getting the Note 4 though.

I'm getting a much stronger signal at home compared to my N5. Speed even at the edges of my coverage are noticeably faster. Biggest improvement is in the 5 ghz range.
That's not what I meant. I am more talking about how far I am away from the signal. I could get further away with the note 3 than with the g3 from my wifi router.

I got the same problem at work wifi sucks s5 was way better.At home I have no problems cause im closer to signal but in job cuts off and on and wifi calling logs off 4g lte works better than my s5 but wifi definately got a ranfe problem.I went to store check out other lg g3 make sure I dont have a defective unit but its the same I hope a new modem can fix this.
Any news on a new radio. Reception sucks on my g3
Modem will not fix this. Phone suffers from death grip. Nothing can be done.
AWESOME G3
Wow. I thought the radio was good on this phone. Much better than my nexus 5 was. Maybe you have a bum phone?
Edit:
Never mind, you've checked. Still, I guess I don't know what I'm missing then as this phone has been the best I've had so far.
My data speeds on Wi-Fi are just as good as my note 3.

I was at home the other night and did a speed test and it was about half as slow as my Nexus 5 usually was on WiFi. That may have been due to the number of devices connected at that time.
How is everyone's LTE speeds compared to past phones? I feel like this is a lot slower than my Nexus 5. I was getting ~25mbps at home with my Nexus 5, but was barely pushing ~6 last time I tested. Maybe I was having a bad day with T-Mobile.

For me, speed is about the same (full internet speed) as my N5 but the Wifi range is better, especially on the 5 GHZ band. Problem is the range sucks for 5 GHZ on any device so I usually leave it on 2.4. On LTE, I regularly get 30-40 Mbps.

My LTE has more availability on this phone than my S4. I usually have 10-15 down, I've seen 60+ in a few areas on this phone that I've never seen on the S4.
