What are your WiFi transfer speeds from LAN? (ie: transfer from pc network folder)
Mine is EXTREMELY SLOW, even slower than Cellular Data speeds.
Download: avg 900kB/s (Bytes/sec NOT BiTS)
avg 7200kb/s (bits/sec)
The router is Linksys E3200 (5GHz band, DFS Auto Select)
Strong Signal according to WiFi bars.

It looks like my TC is using HSDPA network (about 100k/hour) even during the time I am connected via wifi. Is that a normal behaviour, or can I force it to automatically disconnect HSDPA while using wifi?
It depends on how you setup your routing.
If you have your wifi network set as your "work / business" network and hsdpa as your internet access. It'll ofcourse route all trafic over hsdpa.
Check your wifi connection and set the appropriate network type. This setting is done for every access point. It's not a global wifi setting afaik.
The wifi connection is setup as internet, so that is not the problem.
What I find is that both wifi and 3g are active. I can turn off 3g by turning off data connection in the comm manager, leaving me with the sole wifi connection (and internet access of course). However, as soon as the TC goes to sleep it will come back with both 3g and wifi. What I found also is that it is quicker to initialise the HSDPA connection than to wifi one.
Is there a way to force it to check it for wifi connection first, and then only connect to HSDPA if no wifi is available?
Sorry, that I don't know.
And I can't be bothered by it here in NL. As we've got flatrate utms/hsdpa here with a number of providers.
At home I only turn on Wifi if the umts/hsdpa connection is instable.
1. Get a 3g/4g sim card with data business, enough balance available;
2. 3G/4G signal is good enough because good signal is required for dialup and good internet speed and bandwidth;
3. One PC or Laptop with RJ45 port to config the router. If router is with wifi option feature, you can also config it via WiFi.

Hi, I used to tether all time without any issues on previous devices, but for some reason it's unusable on my N5. I did quite a bit of troubleshooting and can't figure out why wifi tethering is extremely slow.
My setup:
Nexus 5 running Lollipop 5.1, build LMY471
Macbook Air circa 2011, OSX Yosemite
ATT, LTE provisioned (have gotten 20-30Mbps speeds from the phone direct via speedtest.net)
APN set to IPV4 settings for regular/roaming - didn't change the default settings.
Not interested in rooting now (or using PDANet)
Here's my troubleshooting so far:
The phone gets direct speeds of 4-10Mbps from speedtest.net's app, which isn't fast but is fine when I need to tether.
I can replicate those speeds with USB tethering.
Bluetooth tethering and Mifi tethering result in speeds of 0.1Mbps, so slow that it can barely load speedtest.net.
I've also tested this with Bluetooth off on both my phone and my Mac, same results.
I've tried this from multiple locations with the same result, 0.1Mbps speeds.
I don't think it's a wifi interference issue since Wifi Explorer on my Mac shows that my signal is at 80% compared to 40% for other signals.
Also, if it were interference based then I would see more variable speeds instead of 0.1-0.2Mbps consistently.
Any suggestions for further troubleshooting?
Thanks!
Hi, I have a 300Mbps wireless connection with 240Mpbs internet connection. My laptop is connecting to the wireless with 300Mbps and I'm getting a speed of more than 200Mbps. But my mobile is connecting to the same wifi with 144Mbps and getting a speed of 50 - 70Mbps. Why is it so? any idea?
Dear All
I own an android phone running Android 8.1. I looked at everything inside WiFi Setting but I can't find an option to selection only 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency. Compare to my 10 years old phone runing android 4.4.2 which has an option for 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Is there any App that help to get this option enable or any workaround? My workplace use Band Steering which 2.4GHz and 5GHz use that same SSID and my phone always connect to 2.4GHz. I have to turn wifi on/off a few time to connect to 5GHz.
What radio bandwidth actually can get used depends on both the phone's hardware and the Wi--Fi network provider.
You can run this app to see what is possible:

I'm no doubt Both of my phone and WiFi AP support 5GHz(Dual Band).
AFAIK Android OS has some algorithm for choosing the best Wi-Fi connection. I don't know what it is. But I think it tends to prioritize faster Wi-Fi networks over stronger ones.
5GHz is always faster than 2.4GHz regardless of signal strength for my experience so I just want my phone connect to 5GHz unconditionally. With my old phone, when I set to 5GHz only, it won't connect to any 2.4GHz event if 5GHz is not available. That's my goal.
