Will a few owners post their max upload / download speeds and make / model of their router?
If your using speedtest.net please let us know what level of service your using.
Thanks.

This numbers will prove nothing (ISP dependent) unless you have on your private lan an webserver with a speedtest page/plugin.
Anyway a more real speed test would be to download a big file from a local computer in the same lan with the tablet through smb (win share). Even so, it will be very dependent of software implementation of the smb protocol. I have got 6.2 MB/s (62 Mbps) max with FX Explorer.
It would provide a worst case scenario for connections routed through a wan.
Best case scenario would be to lock yourself in a RF free room with a cisco wireless controller, radio, spectrum analyser, and ramdisk mounted to a linux based ftp server. But do we need to go to those extremes?
Lets keep this thread functional and informative, and thank you for your metrics.v

I get my full speed: 25 Mbps down, 25 Mbps up
ISP: Verizon FIOS
Netgear WNDR -3700 router
When I'm about 36ft. (sitting outside) away from the router my speed drops to 20/20
No matter where I sit, I can easily play 5-10 Mbps 720P /1080P videos smoothly over my LAN.
I got 35 Mbps down and 7 Mbps up on Comcast using a Netgear WNDR3700.

I'm averaging about 6 mbps down and 4 mbps up. Speedtest is using the Aurora server.
Is this considered "slow" for 4G?
I am working up in Deerfield today, DL of 13.07 and upload of 7.6 mbs. I live in south suburbs and average between 8 & 12 up, and 6-8 down.
I'm in the far north suburbs and I average 22 down and close to 6 up

WTF? 22 down is nuts. I need to move up there. I'm in Wheaton.
my speed varies alot depending on where I am at. I have seen my up speed as high as 40(yes that was an upload speed) and down 25. But I tend to average around 5 down and 2-3 up
I used to get around 15-22 down and 5-10 up every time. Now I average about 5-6 down and 3-4 up. :/ I'm in mchenry area. I miss those super fast speeds.

Used to be 20/12. Now I'm @ 5/4. Went to the VZW store and ran speedtest side by side with their demo. Demo unit was pulling 3 to 4x the speeds that my phone was just inches away.

Yes, they directed me to their tech who had no idea. His personal bolt was running at the same speeds mine was.

I tried the Chicago server as well and got 9 mbps down and about 6 mbps up.
I'm visiting my girlfriend in the city this weekend. I'm curious what my speeds will be like there.
When I ran my test, both phones were attached to Aurora's test server (because I know someone's going to ask) and I ran the test about 15 times to make sure.

I have my suspicions about the speedtest app, even after the recent fix. Those getting slower speeds, open a browser with UserAgent switching, switch to desktop UA, and go to the speedtest.net website. I always get much higher results that way, which seem to be consistent with the results I get when tethered to a laptop. I'm usually pulling between 10-20 down, 1-4 up on the Northside. It's a very welcome upgrade from WiMax.
btw those thinking they got 40 Mbps upstream a while back, that was the speedtest app giving bogus results. Many of us thought we got those speeds, but nobody really did. The developer of the app was the first to say so.
The chicago server tests much faster than the aurora server.
What have you all gotten on your speed test with the xoom 4g? I've been getting numbers between 40-50 mbps download and 15-25 mbps upload. I tethered to my laptop and got around 15 download and 8 upload. Why the drastic difference between on the xoom and on my mac?

My guess is because when tethered you are using the other device to link to a network whereas when you are on 4g you are directly connected to the network. You are sharing bandwidth tethered, that is my unofficial guess
This is weird when I run speed test on 4g I have download speeds of 7mbs avg. When I run Wifi I get avg of 3mbs which is about half as fast, but as far as my expierence Wifi works twice as fast when surfing web or downloading files what gives. What do you guys prefer, I mean while you are home around Wifi.

I use wifi. My 4g network sucks at my home.

Generally my results are similar. My home ISP is pretty terrible though, really the only time I use Wifi is to download ROMs, for whatever reason I seem get issues if I download them over the Mobile Network, possibly corrupted downloads.
Otherwise just for Wifi calling.

WiFi & 4G are around the same at my home.... WiFi is usually around 9.5 mb/s while 4G is around 6 to 7 mb/s. Call quality is noticeably better on 4G than WiFi.
T-Mo has a free option in your account to not get charged for WiFi calling minutes...it's disabled by default so log on or call and get it changed if you use WiFi for calling.

4G is spotty where I live.. maybe 500kbs at best.. though at my friends place, I can get 9-11Mbs.
My wifi works great though, I get about 18Mbs down at home, and about 7Mbs at work. WiFi calling works great for me at home.

This is my theory remember its not fact just a theory.
Using the mobile data connection you have to share with every person in that area on T-Mobile. Using wifi you only share with the people in your neighborhood. Even tho you are getting those speeds with a higher ping because of couple hundred people playing pandora or something it will slow the process.
Another thing remember a speed test is just that a test. It is done in a short period of time. I can run a speed test at my house through out the day and get varying results. Even while getting the max DL speed sometimes things will take longer to load then when Im barely getting 1mb speeds. The load on the network has a very large result on how fast things actually download.
Good point

Heh, no but cable internet does share from the hub.
I was just about to comment on ping times... even though throughput is high, ping does play a major role.

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.
Hey all,
i am having some issues with my 5Ghz wifi and my skyrocket. First I will list all the information I have.
Skyrocket i727.
Roms I have tried to connect with - Embryo 7 Cymbaline and stock kernel ; Beanstalk 1.30 v.1. with mortez and marla. No luck.
Router - Linksys WRT320N - not a dual band. either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
Open dd-wrt firmware on the router.
Wireless settings - N only (5Ghz) - 40mhz wide channel - lower - channel 52 + 54.
Security - WPA2 personal with AES encryption.
i have tired many things to get this wifi to connect on my skyrocket. I have tried switching to wirelss A and N. No luck. I have tried using on 20 Mhz wide channel. No luck. I have also tried taking Security off completely with Wireless N 5Ghz and no luck there either. Only way I can get it to connect is using 2.4 ghz. I know the skyrocket supports 5Ghz because there is an option for 5Ghz only within advanced wireless settings.
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried it with stock? Also try scanning the channels with WiFi analyzer. They have an app that might help you connect.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
No I haven't tried it with stock. I do have WiFi analyzer installed and everything seems to work fine on the router end. I'm getting fantastic speeds on my laptop and my friends s4 connect instantly and gets great speeds as well. So I know its not the router settings. I have considered stock Though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
But when you use Wi-Fi analyzer on the skyrocket, does the phone "see" the router. Have you tried restarting the router with nothing connected to it, and connecting the skyrocket first?
Edit: Try using different channels as well. Not sure exactly what channels the skyrocket can see in 5 GHz mode.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it sees the channel on WiFi analyzer. I've tried channels 40,42 ,149 and many others. It seems to have a problem authenticating the WPA2 key. But, going by that logic, leaving the network open would solve the problem. But it doesn't. Still can't connect on 5ghz when there is no security. So, I'm thinking Its a custom kernel problem or the hardware is failing. Not sure which.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I would say try another router someone else you know has that has 5ghz and using stock router firmware. Are you on the latest dd wrt?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah the latest as of like march 2013 I believe.

I am using a linksys e4200 dd-wrt build 22000
Here are some of the settings I use:
Basic settings:
wireless channel : 153 - 5.7654 GHz
Channel Width: 20MHz
Wireless Security:
Security Mode: WPA2 Personal
WPA Algorithms: AES
Advanced Wireless Settings: shown if different than default
CTS Protection Mode: Disable
Preamble: short
TX Power: 66 (lower than default)
Afterburner: enabled
You might try playing with the TX power setting since the default (for my router) is the same as the 2.4 GHz default and is to high for the 5 GHz band.
Well. I tried those settings but still a no go. I think its a problem with the 5ghz on my phone. Maybe I need to go back to stock JB. Not likely though. I resolved the issue by using two routers anyway. One for 2.4 and one for 5. Works perfect so far. Thanks for everyone's help and Input.
