What's your fastest Speedtest on your Pixel 2 XL? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Just wondering what your fastest Speed Test you've performed on your Pixel 2 XL.
Recently I've received a speed upgrade from my ISP that is definitely allowing me to push/come close to my Wireless-AC limits. I have a 400/40 cable line now. The devices I'm able to test with are running at 866 MBPS AC, 80 MHz channel bonding.
My devices I was able to test with are the Pixel 2 XL, MacBook Air, iPad Air 2, and a Laptop with an Intel 8265 AC chip. Also in the mix is a hard wired desktop. All capable of at least hitting 866mbps connection. RSSI around -40 dBm or better for testing purposes. All using the same Speedtest Server
My Pixel 2 XL.. I don't think I was able to get a download over 250 mbps
MacBook Air - Just hit 400 mbps
Laptop with 8265 AC - Just hit 400 mbps
iPad Air 2 - Surprisingly hit around 350 mbps one time (fluke?). Other times closer to the Pixel 2 XL speeds of 250ish
Desktop - 425mbps (i suppose ISP gave me some overhead).
Also, not 100% sure how accurate the Speed test app is (by ookla). On the Laptop Wireless As the speedtest was going on, I compared Windows mbps in Task Manager to Speed Test mbps. Windows was a bit higher.
I understand at a certain point, speed is just synthetics and you'll never notice a real world difference on a cell phone. But this is just out of curiosity.
So.. TL;DR - what's the fastest speed you've seen on your Pixel 2 XL?

High latency from local computers

Hi.
I have this Nexus 7 Flo, with PAC-man ROM and ElementalX 1.8 kernel.
I've got a TP-Link TL-WR941N, which is 802.11n. It isn't running at 5GHz and it works fast and flawlessly on every computer out here.
Today I've tried to play with Splashtop GamePad and noticed a pretty high input lag, together with a slow image recovering (as if the game was running at 15fps), but not constantly. Game was running smooth on the pc and it is connected thru cables.
Pinging to my N7 gives me around 80~150ms of latency. Pinging any wireless computer on my network gives 1~5ms, WCS would give me 50ms (weak reception).
Looking at the wireless settings, I've noticed that the N7 reports a speed of 65mbps (which is above the .11g speed, and well below the .11n speed), even if I'm virtually scratching it against the router's antennas. Most of the other wireless machines reported 150mbps
Is it a common issue? People are sleeping around here and I cannot wake em up to ping their mobiles lol
Is it a radio problem or kernel, battery saving related? I'm able to get my internet's full speed through the wifi on N7, but this latency is killing me

Bump.
I've tried with different Android devices (Samsungs, S3 and a Tab 7), they all pinged just the same, and had the same 65mbps speed.
I'll try with some Apple devices later.

I just checked my Nexus 7. It tells me I have either 54 or 135 Mbps. My Galaxy Nexus has 65 Mbps. The GN pings between 1ms and 200 ms, fairly irregularly on my 2.4GHz network (5GHz doesn't work unfortunately, unless I sit it on top of my router). My Nexus 7 pings between 1ms and 200ms on the 5GHz network, but has more double digits pings than the GN, which has more triple digits. Nexus 7 has stock ROM 4.3.1 with ElementalX 1.8 kernel on a Netgear N750 router.
Pinging my wifes smartphone in another room, I get 150 to 230ms ping over the 2.4GHz network. I think my HTPC pings are usually between 40 and 80ms.
Not sure if any of that helps you.

Yeah.. I'm getting pretty much the same :/
I've did some tests with an Motorola Atrix, an iPhone 4S and a iPad 2. They all ping just the same, with an eventual four digit latency. I've tried it in two different routers (from TP-Link) and one Intelbras (.11g). They all behave the same. Funny that on Speedtest app, they ping lower to a remote server than to my local computers.
My Raspberry PI pings between 1 to 5ms, so does every other physical computer and laptops set to answer ping requests.
I don't know why does this happen

Throughput on Wifi sucks

Copying files across wifi, SMB fileshare. Note 3 - 3-5MB/sec (yes, MB, not Mbit). Note 7 - 500-700KB/sec. Both show similar wifi connection rates at 144 Mbit/sec.
Anyone else seeing crappy throughput on wifi?
No, mine is not that bad. I just did a speedtest.net on a 100 Megabit down 10 megabit up connection and got 50 megabits down (best the router will do in all honesty) and the full 10 megabits up. That roughly translates to 5 Megs a second down and 1 Up. I have read others complain about the speed though.
What app are you using to measure the speed?
I've got cox, pay for the premier package and its supposed to max out at 150mbps download and I believe 10mbps upload. Early mornings (2am or so) I see speeds on my 5ghz network (using an Arris SB 6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Modem and a ASUS RT-68P AC 1900 Wireless Router) well into the 190mbps range on my Note 7, highest I've had so far is 193mbps download. I consistently hit 10mbps upload but when it first starts out it pulls into the 25mbps range and slows down to the 10-13 mbps range upload.

Wow cox is really still shafting people on upload. So glad fios came into my area.

Yeah lol the upload is nothing exciting, it's nice to see it jump into the 20+mbps range for about 10 seconds or so then throttle down around 10-13mbps. But I'm happy hitting over 150mbps later at night. But my Note 7 has been just as fast, if not slightly faster than my Note 4 was with throughput.

Effective wifi speed

Hello,
as you know Z2 Play support 802.11n protocol and not ac.
I'm wondering what is the maximum speed it can reach, using a 5 Ghz band.
Has anyone done a test or something near with a fast connection like Gigabit Fiber Internet?
Ok guys, I've done some test and those are the results: I've tested today the effective wifi speed at 5 Ghz, and the maximum that our Moto z2 can reach is 110 mbps.
Which is lower than the maximum of the n standard (150 mbps).
WiFi speed of the network is around 240 mbps, tested with a smartphone wifi ac support.
Hope this could help.
i'd tell you if i could connect to a 5ghz router....just bought one of these and wifi is sketchy (drops and won't even connect to 5ghz).
any thoughts?
I have the gig internet at home from EPB here in Chattanooga, TN. Most of my devices will run between 240-350 Mbps on 5g wifi. My Moto z2 Play will run around 110 Mbps on a great day. The best it's ever had is 114 and that was only 1 time. My 4k Firesticks average 250, even on our patio. The signal on the Moto z2 Play is definitely weak.

Fastest WiFi speed?

Hello,
I have just switched fiber provider at my place (FTTH) and I am now getting a whopping 1000 Mbps on my connection via gigabit ethernet.
My ISPs internet "box" luckily comes with 4 gigabit ports but only 2.4 Ghz WiFi (...). Which means that what actually reaches my portable devices is somewhere between 20 to 70 mbps, depending on my location in the house.
So, I ordered a Netgear R6220 to connect to my ISPs box, whose WiFi I will disable, hoping to get the most out of my fiber connection.
I see that this router supports simultenous Dual Band (300 + 867) which should exceed my ISPs downstream bitrate. But I wonder whether the 835 on my P2XL will be able to benefit from the simultaneous Dual Band transmission.
According to the specs it should (https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-835-mobile-platform):
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi Standards: 802.11ad, 802.11ac Wave 2, 802.11a/b/g, 802.11n
Wi-Fi Spectral Bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 60 GHz
Peak speed: 867 Mbps
Channel Utilization: 20/40/80 MHz
MIMO Configuration: 2x2 (2-stream)
Peak QAM: 256 QAM
Wi-Fi Features: MU-MIMO, Multi-gigabit Wi-Fi, Dual-band simultaneous (DBS), Integrated baseband

But since the Peak speed is listed as 867 mbps, I'm not sure...
Anyone was ever able to max out the P2XLs WiFi speed?
Thanks!
This is mine today, I have seen higher from my wifi but this is right now.
This is the best speed i got using the 2XL
1Gbit line using a Asus RT-AX88U router.

Wow, this is impressive! I didn't think our Pixels could reach that level of performance!
I guess that the bottleneck for me will still be on the router, then, since I'm not getting anything quite like yours (smaller budget).
I'm getting from Amazon an R6220 and a couple of Tp Links (archer c7 - 1750 and archer c1200), the best one gets to stay! ?
You should be able to reach decent speeds with any of those routers the only reason I bought this one is so i don't need to buy another rooter any time soon.

There you can find fast access point for low price with high quality, I use only these

Nexus 5X Wifi slow speeds/weak signal

I bought a Nexus 5X from ebay a few months ago sold as new condition.
I'm having different issues with the Wifi. First the signal strength and range are much worse than all my other devices. In one room of the house farthest from the router it loses connection every few minutes and maintains a speed test result of less than 10Mbps with 2.4 GHz. With 5 GHz it can't even see the access point.
My OnePlus 7 Pro gets 40+ Mbps on both 2.4 and 5 GHz with no issues at all from the same location.
With a different ethernet connected wireless access point in the room the Nexus 5X gets 25-30 Mbps, which is acceptable but it should be faster considering it has full signal strength.
With the phone right next to the router connected to 5 GHz it will show a full speed of 44 Mbps but file downloads (using thinkbroadband test downloads) never load faster than about 100 KB/s which isn't even close to 44 Mbps. I can't even upload to my local network file share at more than 1 MB/s.
I'm not sure how speedtest.net is showing fast speeds but file transfers are extremely slow. The signal range is much worse than any other device I have.
I had a Nexus 5 before this 5X and didn't start to have wifi issues until it was more than 5 years old. Is it possible that this phone was refurbished but sold as new? Or is this just common and I shouldn't expect better?
I've tried two routers and different Android ROMs from 6.0 up to 9, all with similar results which confirms this is a hardware issue.
I've tried contacting my ISP for these issues in the past but they always respond saying their tests show nothing wrong so its not a problem.
I have the squaretrade warranty from ebay but is it worth it trying to get this issue fixed or if i get another phone will it have the same issue?
Web browsing works fine but file downloads and uploads are extremely slow.
