In testing speeds today with the speed test app, I noticed that my 3g speed tripled from .5 mbps to a little over 1.6 mbps. I turn on WiFi got a good signal, says its connected at 54 mbps to the router, run the speed test and get 5.1 mbps. Ran it 3 more times and same result. I take my wifes epic connected to the same router and get 12-14 mbps which is what it should be since we have 15mbps cable internet service. Is this a known issue with the EVO or is something wrong with mine? I searched and all I could find was something about getting wireless n and how gingerbread removed it or something but I couldn't find anything saying it limited the WiFi down to less than 10 mbps. It's a stock EVO with gingerbread. I was an unlucky person who got it new with 2.3.3.
who cares what this says anyways
not sure but i have the same problem on every rom i flash..my router throws out 20-23 mbps and my evo only picks up 5 to 7 mbps..kinda makes me mad but i guess evos have a weak wifi radio
Hi everyone,
I have my Nexus 7 connected to a Linksys WRT160N router with tomatoRAF firmware installed. This router+firmware+configuration setup was the best I could do without constant dropping of connection or not connecting at all, but still at very slow speed of 0,5 - 1,5 MB/s (average is more around 0,6) when copying files on local network (SMB) with ES File Explorer. Which is good enough for web surfing and emails, but not enough for IPTV and youtube (youtube works, but i have to wait for it a lot).
So far i have tried numerous configurations of my router, nothing works. I tried other routers, 9 to be exact, but i have never seen more than 2MB/s.
Now i'm thinking about buying new router, and I want to know what wifi speeds do you get with which router.
thanks
Hi,
what's your net speed? mine is 26 mbit/s and this is what i get. however, IF you stream sound with BT/have any BT service up and running and your wifi runs at 2.4ghz it is highly probable the two (bt and wifi) interfere. This was the problem i had and which i found out after buying soundbar which links with its subwoofer via BT(BT butchered my wifi, i was scoring 1mbit to up to 26). I have switched to dual band modem/router (tp link td-w8980). now, i have two WiFi networks at my place, one which runs at 2.4ghz and the second at 5ghz. the 5ghz is used only by my nexus :]
N7 2013, Buffalo N300 router, Verizon FiOS 75/25. The router is dual channel, but not dual band: 2.4GHz only.

I had throughput issues with a Linksys WRT54GL and Tomato, was not a configuration problem. Loved the way Tomato worked, how it looked, it's options... but in the end, all I really cared about was throughput. Are you able to replicate the throughput issue on stock router firmware? You said you tried other routers. All the same model (RMA)?
Tell me more about your connectivity issues.
If you've used different routers from different manufacturers (with their respective stock firmware), then it's probably a problem with your tablet.

I had this throughput issue from the day I received my nexus 7 (2013), with stock firmware on router. But with stock firmware, the connection would drop randomly (from 5 minutes to 12 hours) and to reconnect i had to restart the router and nexus - this was corrected only with this firmware TomatoRAF (i tried dd-wrt and 2 more tomato firmwares - all kept disconnecting). I never had this throughput issue with any laptop, only this nexus.
The other routers i tried were all different routers, but all at least 3 years old.
Another information: friends nexus 7 (2013) WIFI, flo, also had same speeds on my router.
today i will try to test a few phones and a laptop on my router and will post results as soon as i can
32gb lte model, I use an Asus ac66u and Comcast 105\25 Mbps. 5ghz WiFi gets me 90 Mbps down and 22-30 up, 55 Mbps down and 22-30 up on 2.4 GHz.

This is what i get (copying files from server with es file explorer):
nexus 7 2013 (kitkat) - 760kB/s
1st xperia ray (kitkat) - 750kB/s
2nd xperia ray (jellybean) - 530kB/s
xperia mini pro (jellybean) - 560kB/s
galaxy s4 mini - 1070kB/s
laptop - 6500kB/s
I used to get 10MB/s+ on my laptop with original linksys firmware, but now i configured router to be more "reliable" and i would be more than happy if nexus had 6,5MB/s connection.
I attached some info about router configuration. If there is an "expert" reading this willing to help, i can post more complete configuration.

Are you happy with ac66u? any problems? what about lan to wifi speeds (with laptop/ac adapter)? i am asking as it is a serious contender for my next router

Considering how inexpensive it was I"m extremely happy with the TP-Link WR1043ND that I use. With aftermarket antennas I bought as an experiment and the current firmware installed signal strength through walls and general performance is great. I thought about installing third-party firmware on it when I first got it a couple years ago but see no need. For the package I have from Comcast they advertise I think 25 Mbps down and 5Mbps up and I usually see 28/6. If you haven't already done so make sure your router is using the best channel for your location. Also, I see a lot of people move off of channels 1, 6 and 11 which can make them see/cause more bleedover from/to adjacent channels. You can see that in my screenshot with networks MercedesBenz and Sandvik. I live in a house but the effect in an apartment or condo would be worse. I also use a repeater because my router is at the opposite end of the house from my backyard patio and this house has insulated steel siding. Wifi Analyzer is a free app and works great to figure out what channel would work best for you.
Also in the N7's wifi advanced settings I use "2.4 GHz only" which seems to make it reconnect faster when waking up the device because I also use "only when plugged in" during sleep.

I haven't had any problems. All my large lan transfers are done over Ethernet cat 6. If it can pull down 90mbps from wan to wlan on two phones and a tablet, well then there's your sign lol. All these speeds are on n WiFi, I haven't even tried ac because all my machines that need all available bandwidth are hardwired. The router hasn't even required rebooting unless one counts firmware updates and such. Hardline lan to lan is right about 100 MB/s.there's an even faster model out called the ac68u but it's significantly more expensive.

I have the 32GB LTE version... Using an Asus RT-N66U as my access point...
On 2.4 ghz I get 22.5 mbps down and 7.5 mbps up*
On 5 gzh I get 68.4 mbps down and 11.5 mbps up... which is the max speeds I see from my ISP.
*note: there are about 18 strong 2.4 ghz networks visible at my location (surrounded by apartment buildings). 2.4 ghz performance consistently suffers with this level of interference across all of my connected devices.
As far as the RT-N66U goes... I'm very happy with it's performance and range of signal. I was a long time WRT54G user with tomato. This matches almost perfectly.
Flashed CM11 last nite and so far it exceeds my expectations except for wifi speeds. I have an ac router and my network speeds are 150mbps down. But on this phone my speed on 2.4ghz tops of at 41mbps (not terrible, a little faster than my old phone) but 5ghz its really struggling. I just tested it at 14 mbps. That's after switching channels on my router before that it came in between 32 and 36. I was expecting it to break 100mbps since my other ac devices consistently clock in at 150 to 165mbps.
Before I start poking around my router settings...anyone else experiencing slower speeds? I didn't try the speed tests on stock fire os so not sure if this issue is restricted to CM or fire phone or if its my network settings. Just looking for others' experiences.
Hello! I have a LG G3 since a couple of years ago. I was only able to use its 5ghz wifi since May, because previously I had no compatible router. It was working fine, getting between 150 and 180 mbps in speedtests, with a wifi speed link of 433 mbps. Today I switched from my ISP to another. They provided me a new router, called Livebox Next. It has more or less the same wifi specs as the last one I had, it can handle up to 1300mbps in the 5ghz band with wifi AC. However, my phone is not getting anything near that. My wifi link speed is stuck at 86 mbps. I tried changing the channel of the wifi, but it has no effect. In the speedtests, I have like 10mbps of download speed and about 50-60 mbps of upload speed (weird, isn't it?).
I need your help guys. Connecting in the 2.4 ghz band I get between 30-40 mbps. The technician that installed me the router made his own speedtests in his laptop and he got 300mbps in the speedtest in the 5ghz band so I guess its not the routers fault, something is not right but I don't know what.
Regards.
I have a kind of similar problem as you with the G pad 3 8.0. I get 15-30 Mbps download and 10 Mbps download with an AC 2600 router.
Is this max network speed for a70?
This is screenshoot form wifi settings.
On other phones i get 130mbps.
mine says 65. Ultra slow downloads. Heard some people talkin about using the 5 Ghz band of certain equipped routers or n band. It is just so slow downloading from my wlan I figured it must have something greater wrong with it. Like hackers again...who knows.
This is what mine says
On mine is 72mbps network speed and cant get over 49mbps download speeed on speedtest.net
433Mpbs on 802.11AC for me
I get a picture 130 mbps on my oreo device but both pie devices say 65 mBps.
My 1000/100/10 switch connects ethernet to various devices which easily shuttle the expected 80-130 actual MB/s around of large filetypes.
I don't have any sort of 5 Ghz router just the crappy device that the company sent out. And on that the MAC filter keeps getting disabled which increases my paranoia. Till 2 weeks ago I used the same crappy standard gateway/router for 6 years and frankly it was equal or better experience. At least that one started up reasonably fast. And its MAC filter was always on. But that could just indicate that the neighborhood brats had an easy backdoor to that one and didn't have to brute force off the MAC filter.
In my opinion the MAC filter getting disabled (now a few different times it has happened) indicatives a much much larger problem
I have been intending to get my own personal router for a while but there are too many options so I haven't had the scope to choose one yet.
Other phone in network displays 117mbps and is a Pie.
On same network 2.4ghz on s8,s7 i get 130mbps and on a70 72mbps max.
Just tried 5ghz on same network and got 150mbps it is a little faster.
But on 2.4ghz 72mbps is max.
hi guys
i have also same problem . cannot connect more than 72mbps , with 5ghz 150mbps max . something wrong but i could not find what is the problem .
you guys found any solution ?
mine has 72mb on 2.4 and 433mb on 5g...

i think all a70 phones are like that
I just tested and got 158Mbs with a 5Ghz wifi connection, although only around 60Mps on 2.4Ghz.
Andre
I'll check mine later and see if I can figure out what's happening
Right next to the router I can see 96mbps in 2.4Ghz
Must be something wrong. I got 433mbps.
Nothing is wrong.
The Snapdragon 675 supports 2x2 chains on WiFi, but the A70 only has a 1x1 antenna so it connects at half the speed.
Link speeds on the A70 are as follows:
2.4 GHz = 72 Mbps
2.4 GHz (with 256 QAM) = 96 Mbps
5 GHz = 433 Mbps
On all devices with 2x2 on WiFi, the speeds above will be doubled on those.
These are in ideal network conditions with great signal strength and low interference. These numbers could reduce if you are far from the router.
This is not abnormal. A lot of mid-range devices only have 1x1 for WiFi.
