[Q] Wireless Speed Issues.

I have noticed on my Nexus S that when I do a speedtest over the wireless it caps out at like 5Mbps and when I watch my router control panel for the thoughput speed it peaks at 8.5Mbps yet if I do it from my laptop the speedtest on the same server reaches 32Mbps and the router is putting out 37Mbps over the wireless.
My router is in G-only mode and forcing 54Mbps since all my devices are G/N capable. Is anyone else noticing slowness with their wireless on their Nexus S?
Mine is rooted running Netarchy's 1.2.2+BFS kernel

WIFI Hotspot Query

Hi
I have decided to stop using broadband from good old Richard and instead use the WIFI Hotspot on my laptop which is a tad slower but managable
I currently have 4 WIFI Routers in my house, Living Room, Back Room, Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 which I used with the broadband
Is it possible to have the internet from my phone connected to these WIFI Routers this would enable my laptop to have constant access to my media server and other PC's using VNC because I keep having to disconnect from my phone to connect to one of my WIFI Routers
Any help would be awesome
Thanks
PS. And am not a WIFI freak, my 6 PC's are all hard wired to the network plus I have 2 laptops for wireless, I could have bought switch's instead but thought what the hell lets make them all WIFI just for the hell of it,

What is your Wireless Transfer Speed ?

Right now I have a wireless G router (LinkSys WRT54G) at home (I'll be getting a Wireless N in a week or so). But for now I'm getting extremely slow transfer speeds when copying files over wi-fi.
When using ES File explorer, I get around 7.5Mbps (Notebook on wired LAN, transformer on Wi-fi)
For speedtest.net I get is 7Mbps, but my notebook clocks 13Mbps over wi-fi.
I don't have another computer with me right now, therefore no way to test PC to PC wireless speed (one on wired, other on wireless). But from the looks of it, transformer is at least 2x slower than my notebook according to speedtest results; but since my ADSL connection max outs at 13Mbps anyways (even over a wired connection), I'm pretty sure that is far lower than the maximum achievable speed with my router. I was expecting speeds in the range of 20Mbps +.
What speeds are you guys getting ?
P.S: Transformer detects the link speed as 54Mbps, all speeds listed above are in Mega Bits Per Second.

Now I can't, but later I'll test this. I have a local caching proxy, so it can cache speedtest data and I've already seen it make a difference. Massive one.

I got roughly 20mbps.

I got 53 Mbits/sec on dslreports flash speed test.

I got arround 50mbps, in the wireless information im connected at 72mb/s.

[Q] Nexus 5 can only support 150mbps in 802.11n?

My router can support max 450 mbps in 802.11n. However, Nexus 5 only connect as 150 mbps. Is that because it only has one antenna in its Wi-Fi chip?
Thanks

Yep, N is basically limited to 150mbps per antenna.

As mentioned it's a 1x1 radio so the max it will do is 150Mbps link rate. Not that you'll ever get those speeds but yeah, that's as fast as it can connect.

Need an internet / network solution .

Ok, please advise if their is a "better way" .
I need an internet and network solution. I only get 2Mbs with a fibre optic cable at a work location, as we are very very far from exchange. Everything on the cable is Slow. ISP cannot improve line speed unless we pay for dedicated line which requires them to dig and install . Oh and a cheap quote of £20,000 .
Anyhow, I want to avoid this by :
My possible solution , is a 4G Router to work with a BT sim card. We get about 20Mbs on a sim card. (Which would be fine for us)
I am looking to run an External Ariel /antenna from the 4g Router, to hit the best signal. Maybe place this on the Roof, or side of the building.
From the 4G Router, I would like a 4 Port 1GB Switch. (If router does not have ports) To hard wire an ethernet printer & Macbook. Whilst using WIFI from the 4G Router with portable items , like Laptops that can also print as well as Macbook.
Please can someone help, with what products I need, maybe link to them too.
I.e,
4G Router
1GB Switch
Ariel / Antenna
(Is it Coax cable from Router to Antenna) are these ends screw on? F Connector I think the Ends are called ?)
CAT5 for Hard Wire connections , Printer / Macbook.
Please advice ,
Many thanks

Fact is: Ethernet ( wired connection ) is always ways faster than Wi-Fi ( wireless connection ).
In my experience, using an 802.11g router, the speed of the wired connection is twice that of wireless. When using an 802.11n router, the speed of the wired connection was only 50 % faster than the wireless. Here are more results from my tests: Wired connection average download from the Internet is 25mbps.
