I have a fiber optic internet connection at home and on my desktop PC I get download speeds of 80mbps+ however when I do a speed test on my note 10.1 I am lucky to get a downspeed on 3mbps. Does anyone have any ideas why this is and how to improve it?
I am in the UK and have the N8010 model.
Many thanks.
Its likely something with your router. Check the signal strength and channel.maybe a firmware upgrade on the router .are you connection to a/b/g/n all of the above will effect speeds and reliability.
Also is your PC hard wired.? If so you know it will be much faster there is far less overhead data tagging along.I do not think its the device
Good luck

Thanks for the response. My router in running on Wireless N. Yes my PC is hard wired however im still getting at least a 50mbps downspeed on my Windows laptop via the wireless. I just figure it's something to do with the network card inside the Note?
I do have some problems connecting to certain networks with my tablet as well. Maybe there's some problem with wifi drivers in the galaxy note I'm guessing. Hopefully it'll be fixed in JB.

One thing you can try is changing the encryption and/or privacy standard (WEP and so on) since some of them isn't supported by "dumb" devices and I suspect some of them are supported but are so advanced it affects the performance.

Hi,
I had the same issue.
I solved setting the ip address to static (not dhcp) in wifi settings.
Now i get 20 mbits+ (consistent with my G router capabilities)

Go to settings.
Select wifi
Long press on your connection.
Press modify connection
Now select ip settings and change to static
Now change your IP to an address outside of dhcp range and your done.
If dhcp is 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.100 set your tab to 192.168.1.101
You can also change your routers dhcp range to 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.15 and set your tab to ..16
Your numbers may be different, but same method.
My YouTube is crashing and disconnecting from wifi. What can be? Only P920 on this fault occurs. (From Brazil)

Hi. I have similar problem. When I've installed 3g router I have problems with all flash videos. Same on laptop and phone. Whey stops loading. Maybe anyone know a solution? But when I'm putting my 3g stick directly to laptop it's ok. And phone loading videos perfectly when on mobile Internet. Thanks in advance.

Your problem is probably bandwidth issues. 3G dongles can't carry too much data at once like a standard router can and when its broadcasting its signal to multiple devices it will use up that bandwidth fairly quickly. The fact that it works fine when used with a single device points to bandwidth being the issue. Are you able to get another 3G dongle without paying for another plan?
I could try to get another dongle to test. Now I'm using Zte Mf112 with netgear n-mbrn3000 router. It's interesting, when I'm disconnecting all other devices it's the same problem. Maybe i should change something in routers configs? I have 10mbps plan, but the dongle is supporting 7.2 mbps. I always have download speed around 400kb/s.

Ever since my device got bricked and flashed the the original firmware, my connection on wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnects even though im like 10 feet away from my router. This bothers me because I cant play online games. Is there anyway to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda app-developers app
I suggest you turn off your router (or also disconnect the cord) for 30 seconds, turn off your WiFi on your phone, then plug it back in and turn on your WiFi again and check. Otherwise it might be a phone problem.
I'll give it a try
...When im connected to other wifi network this doesnt happen.

You should consider buying a new Wireless Router which is more powerful. As your statement, that this issue doesn't happen in other WiFi network, try to check the speed of your internet, traffic, etc.
My other devices works fine

try to forget the network, restart your phone and connect again.

So the issue must be the communication between your phone and the device. Try to restart the phone, or remove your wifi, and then enable it again.
try this
go to settings> WiFi > advance > keep WiFi on during sleep > select always on
I tried, the problem is still there

you should do a data factory reset
This problem happen after flashing my device back to stock when bricked and when i noticed my wifi problem i tried factory reset and the problem still exist.

problem solved and a question-why does unstable wifi mess with usb?
My phone kept getting disconnected from my computer. This was apparently happening because my wifi was unstable. Not sure why the phone disconnected, I was connected via usb. The wifi was unstable because I was using a proxy. When I use my comcast connection straight through the problems go away. If someone can explain why an unstable wifi can screw up a usb connection I'd be grateful. Windoze issues?

This is perfectly fine. If your phone is connected to the WiFi Router but cannot access the internet you shall see the [ WiFi Signal + ! ] and you phone will automatically use your Mobile Internet connection [ LTE, H+, H, 3G, E ]. As soon as your phone can reach the internet over WiFi, it will automatically disable Mobile Data and switch to WiFi. The ! mark will disappear. It ensures that the phone is always connected to the internet (if available).
This feature was not in there in KitKat and people would miss mails and notifications when their WiFi router's internet connection failed.

my pleasure. nothing wrong in asking what you don't know
This is really dumb design decision. The average person is going to think something is broken on their phone every time they have mobile data/wifi disabled.
Dumb design, can't agree no more. I am wondering if my cellphone has issues when I saw the exclamation mark on both wifi and mobile network. Is there any way to disable the mark?
! mark = No Internet Access
As said earlier by others in this post, Exclamatory mark plus cell signal means u r not connected to internet via cellular data.
Exclamatory mark plus wifi signal means u r not connected to internet via wifi.
One good thing i noticed is when i m on wifi and while i m signing in to provider's page, cellular data is still on and i am getting whats app and mails as well till wifi is connected to internet. Its kind of useful.
Odd.... I see "!" go away as soon as wifi connects to my router. But if I turn off wifi, my cell "!" is still there and doesn't connect to data. Have a 3 bar signal (can make calls, "PTEL" shows up on cell icon, my provider), but no data (I assume the "!" goes out when data connects). I tried opening a web page but no data. This just started since I flashed L. Flashed "L" radio, no help. Suggestions?
This is really strange. I have a perfectly working WiFi at home, and I regularly download app updates and go through various internet things on my Nexus 5 on Lollipop. However, through out the day, I see the "!" mark on my WiFi icon. It absolutely does not go.
After updating to Lollipop, I had to switch my mobile data off, (Only at home) because of this stupid feature. I had a few app updates (close to 300- 400 MB) and because of the "!" sign, it went on directly to my cellular network and started to download from there. Even though the WiFi was working perfectly fine without any issues on my tab and pc and also on the phone.
Secondly, the cellular network also shows the "!" icon. I stopped the wifi and tried surfing using the cellular network and I was able to surf the net, and through out the whole test, the "!" was still there.
Thirdly, The strangest part is that this happens across the city. I stay in Bangalore, India and across the city I have noticed the "!" mark in my cellular network.
This has also made an impact on my battery.
Any help would be appreciated.
Yep, seems like whatever android is doing to decide if it has an internet connection, it does not work well.
I'm acessing the forum and posting this from my OTA-upgraded Lollipop Nexus 5 while my wifi icon on the status bar has a "!", and I'm not using cellular data.
I suppose if I didn't have my cellular data disabled, it would be trying to use it, as it thinks I can't get to the internet via wifi.
I hate when we have to put up with bugs and bloat introduced by software trying to do nothing more useful than to be "smart" and nicer to lusers. I miss my Symbian.
Windows does something just like this, and randomly shows a "limited connection" warning on the system tray. Some lusers IM me to complain:
- "my" internet is not working...
- yeah? How did you get to this conclusion? Because "mine" is.
- because windows says my internet connection is limited
- hmm... have you actually TRIED to use the connection?
- uhh... ok.
Exclamation point on mobile signal strength icon
Hi,
I tested my Nexus 5 after reading this forum and when I enabled my Wi-Fi, the exclamation point disappeared from the mobile signal strength. During a 2nd test, the Wi-Fi did not activate properly right away and I had an exclamation point on both the mobile icon and the Wi-Fi icon. If I enabled my data plan while the Wi-Fi was disabled, the exclamation point turned off on the mobile icon.
--new OS feature...
