I cannot get a higher link speed than 54mbps with my nexus 7. I have a wireless N capable router and a computer that is able to connect at 70 to 100mbps but I can't get a higher speed on my nexus. Is there a setting for this? I have tried getting right next to the router and still no luck. This is both with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz and checking link speed through the WiFi menu.
Any help is appreciated!

Yeah 54Mbps is the max I think but 54Mbps is eight times as much for megabits (mbps) which is how ISPs measure their speed.
Which router? This made me look at mine right now it says 150Mbps. It does bounce between 135 and 150. Netgear router.

You just said 54megabits is 8x more than 54megabits. Wut? also I can't get more than 54 as well. Even the 1st Gen n7 got 72.

I think that person is confused with MBps and Mbps/mbps. Especially with the whole 8 bits to a byte.
On a sidenote, it's Mbps (bandwidth) x 1024 รท 8 = download speed

When you say both 2.4 and 5Ghz, do you mean connecting to each ssid of the router or manually setting the frequency in the nexus wireless settings by turning off auto?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Most likely is router settings. Go in your router and force N. See what happens.
Seems like my new router just needed time to settle, I get 74mpbs on 2.4ghz and 150 on 5ghz . It is a WD My Net 750, which I've heard pretty bad things about but got it on sale so I am happy so far. Thanks for the help guys!

I have the WiFi only variant and under networking options in settings, I am given the option to tether. I tried it out, and it created a hotspot which I recognized with my phone.
What is the purpose of this? To share WiFi that other devices have access to already? Maybe as a network repeater?
Would really like to know the answer.
Thank you!

If the Wi-Fi only model has it, I don't see why not.
Still want to figure out the purpose of this though.
I have actually been looking for something that would allow me to tether from a wireless connection.
Not that I say that stealing WiFi is good, when I go to hotels, I can often spoof my mac address to gain connectivity to the network. Wondering if I can spoof address on my nexus, then tether to my laptop, even though this could just as easily be done on my laptop.

No. It doesn't.
I really don't know what purpose it would serve on a n7 WiFi. I use it in reverse, I will create a hotspot on my LTE phone so the n7 can piggyback on that when I don't have WiFi available.
you can use it to create a LAN and transfer files between devices...at very fast speeds...

I have noticed this too. I remember it would maintain WiFi connection with tether enabled, now it doesn't. Not sure if its due to the JSS15Q update or that I recently flashed Bulletproof kernel.

Hey all. I'm temporarily using a galaxy nexus (man, I missed this device) but I've noticed some real flaky WiFi behavior. It constantly disconnects and reconnects. Not to mention the range ain't that great. Don't get me wrong--i know what a special device this is, I'm just wondering if b/c maybe its a few years old this is simply as good as it gets with the WiFi radio it has. I've been using the galaxy s4 for a bit but I just sold it and am waiting for the note 3. This nexus is my "back up" device.
Thanks.

WiFi isn't related to the radio. Its controlled by the kernel. And for the record my WiFi works fine.

I'm running paranoid android on 4.2.2. Can u recommend a good kernel for better WiFi performance? After a bit more testing yesterday I realize that the range is really the issue. If I'm close enough to my router I have no problems. But with my other phones I don't have this issue anywhere in my house. On this nexus tho, if I'm in my spare bedroom the WiFi goes in and out constantly.
Thanks again.

give it a try, check if your router uses the 5ghz band.
my router is capable of 2.4 and 5ghz using the same ssid for both.
always had the problem that my phone connected to the 5ghz and lost connection to wifi through 2 walls.
after setting it to 2.4ghz only it got better.

I have the rocketfish receiver and it works on all my devices on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz but on the moto x it only works on 2.4ghz. Shame because 5ghz has better picture , no artifacts, and if you mirror on 5ghz you can still use 2.4 for WiFi for streaming .

From what I understand, miracast in general kind of sucks because of the poor standardization across brands/devices. I have a lenovo laptop, and I'm hoping the dongle I ordered will work with the laptop's widi feature, as well as my moto x and nexus 7. :fingers-crossed:

yeah thats mostly true but i've used the rocketfish with nexus 7 1st gen (modded to work) nexus 7 FHD, galaxy s3, galaxy s4, and moto x and only had issues with moto x on 5ghz
I just got a Netgear PTV3000 in the mail yesterday, it works well with the Moto X.
Have not had a chance to put it through the paces but was able to briefly test it out on a 32" 720p HDTV.
Screen mirroring looked sharp enough, also tried Netflix and it looked decent but not as "HD" as I would expect, not sure if it was Netflix bandwidth or Miracast itself being the limiting factor. I'll load VLC on the phone this weekend and try playing a local HD file to see what it looks like.
Got the Lenovo WD100 today. Works well with both my moto x and nexus 7. Ironically does not work with my lenovo win 7 laptop... go figure.

Cool thanks, I'll give it a try.
Does the Note 7 have slower AC speed than the Note 5? (Like the S7E)
My Note 5 tops out at 866Mbps whereas the S7E <400.
In real world (speedtest.net) results, Note 5: hits close to 600 both ways, S7E barely squeaks over 330!
I am sure over its life the Note 7 will be getting antenna improvements. Apparently it has MIMO 4X4 antennas and on paper has the ability to perform better than older handsets. That being said my internet is 60mbit/sec so the speed between phone and router is kinda pointless.

My current Note 4 also connects to my router at 866Mbps, so I doubt the Note 7 would connect slower.

That's what one would think but the S7E connects slower and I'm hoping this isn't the case with the 7.

Update - I fixed it! I did a factory reset on the C3150, connected back up and I'm now showing 866, woot!
Edit - It appears the Note 7 isn't compatible with Mu-mimo yet, at least not on the C3150, enabling it on my C3150 after the reset causes the Note 7 to connect at 96, turn it off and it's back to 866. The reset was still necessary though, as toggling mu-mimo on and off before the reset did nothing to fix the 433 issue. I see the Note 7 is 4x4 mu-mimo ready, but they haven't yet enabled it.
