When I use ES File Explorer to move files from my (Windows) desktop to my tablet it just crawls. Never over 1MB/s. But when I do a test on speedtest.net I get my max internet speed (roughly 3MB/s).
So this a problem just with ES File Explorer? Do any other file managers show the speed when transerring files? Anyone get any reasonable speeds moving files within their home network?
What I have found with speedtest.net, you get about 1/10 of what they say. On my desktop it says I get about 28 MBps download, but in reality it is 2.8 MBps down. So if you are getting 3 MBps down, then more then likely you are getting about 300 KBps down.

The speed they report is in megabits per second, whereas the normal unit we use colloquially is megabytes per second. A byte consists of 8 bits, so counting overhead and checksum aspects (the sender/receiver verification of correct transfer) 1/10th sounds about right (the absolute maximum would be a perfect 1/8th -- 28 Mbps would be about 3.5 MBps (notice the unit difference: Mbps vs. MBps).
Back on the original question: keep in mind that your internet speed has nothing to do with direct file transfer over a WiFi network connection. If transferring via, say, Dropbox, then, yes, it matters. In that scenario a lot depends on numerous factors, amongst which the primary one is signal strength at the relevant location; added to that is the fact that the internal storage of the entire Transformer range is not exactly known for its speediness. (That would be the understatement of the year, maybe even this century. )

I was just testing the internet speed on speedtest.net to rules things out. Since my internet speed is 3MB/s there is no reason my LAN speed should be lower.
I can't imagine the write speed of the hard drive is lower than 1MB/s, can it?

Fully agreed! That part of my reply was "aimed" at Tylorw -- I'm sorry if that didn't come across the way I intended it. It's not meant to be rude or anything anyway.
Your LAN speed -- with a faster storage unit and presuming you have a good (modem/)router -- should easily get you about 30-35 MBps transfer from a traditional hard drive, and about 60-70 MBps from a well-made SSD. Those are the values I get from my NAS disks and my desktop, respectively -- your mileage may vary.

The I/O storage controller that ASUS (a Hynix unit) has chosen is very outdated, and exceptionally slow. Even given flash memory aboard the 700 (that should be faster than a platter hard drive) I've seen benchmarks floating around of 0.1 MBps (100 kilobytes per second...) -- yes, that slow. And to add insult to injury, the transfer even at that "speed" is not even continuous but intermittent, with hang-ups and resumes all over the place.

Yes, but that's only the worst case - random 4 kB updates across a large file, which means the FTL needs to rewrite much bigger blocks in the flash memory. The first SSDs for PCs had similar issues.
For sequential transfers, you can expect up to 30 megabytes per second for reading, and about 17 megabytes per second for writing. So it's not *that* slow usually.

As usual, you are right -- I even held off adopting SSDs for that reason when they were in their infancy. I am so happy with my Crucial M4 now.

You know my stance towards benchmarking, but I do not believe I have ever reached those speeds -- especially the writes (the reads usually aren't that bad, so they might be A-OK on my 700...) -- my trusty little tablet does what I need from it, though,so I'm not complaining. :good:

Galaxy S4 LAN download speed using AC router
I have a Galaxy S4 with the newest firmware from samsung I9505XXUGNF1 (Kitkat 4.4.2). My router is a Asus RT-AC66U to which My S4 connects to with max speed of 433 Mbps. My internet connection is 120 Mbps.
When I do a speedtest on the S4 I get results of over 110 Mbps, but when I'm downloading a file over LAN from the disk connected directly to the router I get download speed only of ~20Mbps (2.4 MB/s) which is very sucky!
My Laptop have only a N network card, and connects to the router with max 300 Mbps and when I download the same file I get over 7.5 MB/s!! (~65 Mbps).
Speedtest also shows results of over 110 Mbps...
I remember when the phone was new, and it had Android 4.3, I had LAN download speed of over 9-10 MB/s...
I tried with different file managers like X-Plore and others, but it looks like it is not the app problem. Maby is a KitKat problem??
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition and using ES file explorer, I get only 6MB/s transfer from my windows PC share and around 8MB/s for network streaming over wireless AC connecting at 433Mbps. When I use the speedtest app to test my internet speed, the xposed network speed module will show 20.8MB/s when doing the speedtest which was at around 225Mbps download as stated in the speedtest app.
I think something has capped us from going over 10MB/s.
EDIT: I found a solution to the problem, just go to ES File Explorer Settings, Download Manager, and enable multi-thread copy and download.
Hope it helps

Has anyone been able to exceed wireless n speed of 65 Mbps on their Captivate?
My computer reaches speeds of 135 Mbps but with my captivate right next to the router, I don't see anything above 65 Mbps.
Edit: I'm just using the speed it tells you when you click settings->wireless and network->wifi then I just tap the SSID and look under speed.
Also I set my router to only use the 40mhz band. I just want to know if even 1 person has seen anything over 65 Mbps, so that I know whether it the phone or the router.

Dumb ? Is your computer using dual-band?
Edit: also, the Cap might be operating in 20mhz bands intead of 20/40... (nasty technical details)
How did you test this? ALso usiong no encryption helps....
Also I didn't know captivate have N band 2.4?
EDIT:
a/b/g/n dual spectrum capable.
My guess? driver.
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4329
I am thinking the driver has some issues in general.
Random loss of connectivity and need to disable enable wireless to get connectivity back.
Slow 802.1x connection speeds (11mbps max from what I can tell)
N only connects on 2.4Ghz band and not 5Ghz.
So, yeah, my guess is driver is gimped a bit.
I have no issues with Wifi. BTW, iPhone 4 also uses only 2.4 Ghz band for "n". As I understand, 5 Ghz would require additional antenna.
Also get max of 65 Mbps
Was disappointed when I saw my Captivate which is advertised as having wireless N just barely connects above wireless G speeds. Both laptops easily gets 130Mbps from the same router.
N speeds on a 20MHz band will be 65Mbs. Your laptop and desktop most likely have a 40Mhz bandwidth antennae which allow you to get up to 135Mbs. The Captivate has an antennae that will only work on the 20MHz band which is why you only see a max of 65Mbs. I remember reading about why this is and I can't find the documentation any more.
Anyway, while this does seem "barely higher than G speeds" it's actually a big difference. The wireless N standard added the function of Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna's which increases the signal throughput. The wireless G standard does not have MIMO function in it. The increased speeds and the addition of MIMO antenna's makes the Captivate's N wireless much faster than a G wireless even though the Mbs are close together.
---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------
And, just to answer it in case someone is thinking it .....
Having your wireless on 5GHz vs 2.4GHz will not increase your Captivate speeds above 65Mbs. This refers to the frequency of the signal which is different from the signal bandwidth. The 5GHz range was added with wireless N to avoid interference from other 2.4 MHz devices such as wireless keyboards, wireless mice, home telephones (people still have these?), wireless gaming controllers, etc.
While 5GHz is nice, as it is a separate frequency to help avoid interference, it actually has a shorter broadcast distance since it's a higher frequency. It will also have a harder time broadcasting through walls and other solid objects since it's a higher frequency.

Good information
Thanks for the information. Am always much happier once I have been given an explanation to a question.
With some of the leaked GB 2.3.x builds, I have gotten 72 mbps when my router is set to N only mode, locked to 40 Mhz width, WMM enabled, WPA2 personal "AES only" encryption, with all options for "neighborly" radio turned off, and standing within 6ft of the router.
65 mbps was the highest I ever got on CM7 or Froyo and even the GB builds don't hold at 72 mbps for long.
My Captivate does connect to 2.4 Ghz with 40 Mhz width. 5 Ghz won't work though.
Ya my internet doesn't go over 2 mbs. 65 would be a dream.

What usb transfer speeds are you guys getting? Am i supposed to get over 3.5MB/s?
It's not consistent on my phone. It'll start at 10, then hang for ages which reduces the average down to about 6
Sent from the future to put right what once went wrong.
I was playing around with https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.websharing.r1 last night, transferring stuff back and forth. There was times when the transfer rate hit like 20 megabits +. I was sending files that were hundreds of megabytes each. I don't know the specs off hand but that would be a good speed test, wireless/wired transfer rates. I remember something being 4xx in speed for the specs of something. It might have been the max speed for USB 2. I'm guessing that theoretically, USB should be faster, but I'm not 100% sure of that either.
I get 6 MB/s usually not that great i know
Is anyone able to connect at higher than 72 Mbps? I Googled up an old forum post where they thought there might be a hardware limit? I just got a 802.11n router recently but I've yet to connect higher than 65 or 72.

Try messing with the settings on your router. I spent nearly an hour one day on my wireless N router and was able to get further reception. Never messed with the speed as too its not really an issue. 65mbs is WAY more than enough for a mobile phone. But if its that important to you I think it really won't matter how much faster you make it because the speed at which the sdcard can write data can't keep up with the data speeds of a high speed home data connection of about 10-20m anyway. Already I'm able to download at about 1.2mbs on large files which is the same speed as my computer when downloading large files.
Point is... no matter what you do to increase the wifi speeds on your router or your phone won't make a difference

Computers connect to the router at 150+ so I'm pretty sure it's setup correctly.
I know it will only effect in-network activities, but I was just wondering if there was a reason I couldn't get it to go past 72.
The photon supports up to 150. You could try going into your router settings and change the rate from auto to 150 turn your wifi off then on after your router sets and see if you get the 150 connection. It may also have to do with the rom. The photon also supports 5ghz wifi connections but on cm9 we are stuck using 2.4 because the setting to change the frequency is missing
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Lol oops forgot I'm on the inspire thread. I'm not sure If the inspire supports 5ghz frequencies. Go to wifi, then hit menu and go to advance settings. There might be an option to switch between the two settings. Also on your router mess with the channels. I have had better luck on 9 than 11 with getting over 72. Also make sure the channel width is 40mhz only. The 20mhz can support up to 150mps but if your phone don't need it it will not force it. The radio on nearly all smart phones are automatic which means it will do what it thinks is best for your phone. Some roms I have seen on other devices have forced settings for wifi which gives much more control over how the phone reads from the router.

It looks like a limitation of Android device since I have 2 devices max out only 72Mbps.
There are a number of limitations that stop extra fast speeds on 802.11n.
1) Antennas
1 antenna = max 150 Mbps
2) Congestion
If you are in a busy area (like suburbia, 2.4 Ghz is used by more than just WiFi too) you will not get the 40 Mhz bandwidth for 150 Mbps, it will drop back to 20 Mhz bandwidth which means 72.2 Mbps maximum.
3) Guard Interval
If the distinct transmissions between between both units are not making it through, the Guard Interval will be doubled from 400 nanoseconds to 800 nanoseconds. Maximum now possible is 65 Mbps.
Most people will never see more than 72 Mbps on one antenna.
More: Wikipedia: 802.11n, "Data rates"
I max out around 35mbps of real throughput

I've noticed very poor performance when using 2.4 GHz wifi on my G3 when compared to other devices. I can have my Nexus 4 and G3 sitting right next to each other on 2.4 GHz WiFi and the G3 is consistently slower when doing a speedtest like speedtest.net or iperf. Usually the G3 gets around half the speed of the Nexus 4 or worse. On occasions i've seen the G3 start getting below 1 Mbps or nothing at all and the the only way to fix it is by putting the phone into airplane mode and taking it back off.
When the G3 is connected to 5 GHz it is pretty much on par with the Nexus 4 when doing speedtests. I've also not seen any of the strange slowdown issues that require a reboot or airplane mode toggle on/off when connected at 5GHz.
Makes me wonder if i got a defective device or if anyone else is experiencing the same issues. I'm still within my 14 day return window but i'd hate to go through the process of swapping out the device and tweaking everything back to my preferences if this is an issue that will likely be fixed with a software update.
Has anyone else noticed issues with their device when connected to 2.4 GHz wifi?

Verizon was nice enough to recently upgrade all FiOS customers with symmetrical bandwidth. Your upload now matches your download and in my case exceeds my download for no additional charge.
Not quite as fast as Google Fiber but Verizon's highest package is now 500 down/500 up.

Couldn't agree less, the wifi reception on this phone is worlds better than my 2014 Moto X, I'm getting 2-3x the bandwidth at the furthest distances in our house.
Substantially better range and throughput than my N6.
Find my wifi is good. No better or worse than all my other devices. Picks up where i expect it to and loose it where i expect it to. Again speed is on par with my other devices
Wifi on 6p is much better - get full 118Mbps download (cable limit) with Nexus 5 typically doing 80Mbps download at same time frame. Connected to router at 585Mbps but I have seen it a 7xxMbps rate to router but effective internet still cable limited.

I also am getting faster WiFi performance by a good amount WHEN I do .. reason saying that is that the results are very variable. I would like to attach a screen print I saved but do not see how.
Great throughout with alright range, wifi drops at less range than my Note 3 and S4. This based off two N6P, first device I returned as the auto rotation was broke.

My WiFi has been significantly better than my s4 so far with better throughput, latency, stability. My home connection is consistently above 500 Mbps.
First image 5ghz, Comcast 105-150mbps depending on time of day. Second image is 2.4ghz
WiFi is infinitely better than my previous phones, and 5ghz AC works better than on the iPhone 6s plus in the same spots. Signal strength on 5ghz AC is always 5-10db weaker than 2.4ghz. Plus, I get my full 90mbps everywhere in my house with 5ghz. 2.4 caps around 50-70 because of no free channels. Huawei did something right with the antennae, because I have no issues ever with signal/speed.
I'm getting lower pings and faster throughput on my 6P than my iMac 5K!
Of course, the position of my iMac may make a difference - but, regardless, that's bloody impressive. Huawei has always been pretty good with antenna design, and the larger size of the 6P presumably also helps?
In a test just now I got 9ms, 7.6 Mbps down, 1.1 Mbps up on my 6P (connection 526Mbps) and on my iMac 19ms, 6.8, 0.8 (connection 527Mbps*).
(* bit odd that one is 526 and the other 527 - maybe a rounding issue as I assume they're fixed increments?)
I'll second that WiFi speeds are noticeably faster than they were on my N6.
I haven't done any actual testing, but the primary thing I've noticed is that transfers to my local server are typically 20-30% faster.

On 5Ghz I got 72.2Mb down and 19.6Mb up on a 72/20 connection, so its running it flat out. This was through the speedtest.net app.
The signal on my 6p is significantly better than my Oneplus one. I tested both where wifi signal is lowest and tested both 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Pings are almost identical.
6p
5 ghz - 64.81 down / 12.19 up
