i did a little testing with the n5 and my ac router last night/this morning
i'm getting great results with internet downloads (42-46Mbps down, 5-6Mbps up) on a 50Mbps down, 6Mbps up service
but on my home network - while i get an awesome upload speed (78-83Mbps up), i can only manage around 18-23Mbps down
i've tried changing the modes (802.11ac only, 802.11 mixed) but am coming up with similar results
i read a thread about turning WMM off, but it's greyed out (i think because i don't have anything set in my QoS)
anybody have anything to chime in with? thanks!

So aside from the backlight problem everyone's having (replacement will be delivered monday), I noticed that wifi crapped out on me early on, to the point that my DL's were about 2-300 KB/s and uploads were at about 700KB/s. Factory reset fixed this.
Fast forward a few more hours, I decided to view some youtube clips via the youtube app and the issue occurred again, and that's when I remembered that when this happened the first time, I was using the youtube app.
It seems like using the Youtube app on this phone completely cripples the speed of a wifi transmission --possibly even 2G/3G/4G (wasn't able to test).
Factory reset fixes this. Can anyone else test this out to confirm if it might be happening on multiple phones?
What are the bandwidth speed caps on your wifi? What is your normal down and up speed?
no caps on wifi, I setup QoS filtering to prioritize my xbox 360 and flash applications. It's a Linksys G router 54 Mbps with Tomato firmware
normal speeds provided by ISP is 13-16 down and 1-2 up on an average day.
Alright I just tested and before using youtube this is what I get on speed test (mbps):
wifi:16 down, 1 up
4g:4 down, 1.3 up
then I ran a video on youtube:
wifi: 21 down, 1 up
data: 4.6 down, 1.1 up
Youtube didn't affect my data speeds. You should call t-mobile CS because the issue you're facing doesn't seem normal(continues after factory reset)
Hello,
Why is this happening:
I'm using xoom 3g with hsdpa -connection. If I ping my xoom's ip from outside (or another address from the console) to maintain hsdpa -connection, the browser does not work as it should.
Sites do not load completely; the browser 'loading bar' stops in the middle and nothing happens. About only 1 image is loaded from the sites then nothing. But the ping keeps getting responses. I'm a bit confused why this is happening

Ever heard of a DOS attack? It's where multiple clients ping a host on the internet so that there's so much traffic going to the host that it can't operate properly. Now, most hosts on the internet have a decent connection meaning it takes a lot to bring them down. You're on a 3G connection... which are flakey at the best of times, nevermind if someone's constantly jamming icmp packets down it.
Of course, I could be wrong, but your symptoms definitely sound like that's what's happening.
Why do you have a constant ping going anyway?
Thnx for your quick response!
The host that I'm pinging from the xoom is google.fi and when I'm pinging xoom, it's from my own server that is not under dos attack. I know that 3G connection can be a poor one but that's not the case imo. At least my ping response times are 20-40ms.
I did a fast testing with the new firefox5 and this effect does not happen with it. I have to do some more fiddling with firefox.
The reason why I'm pinging constantly is to maintain HSDPA -connection and prevent xoom from roaming when I'm actually using the device like browsing the web and using gtalk. The roaming happens way too quickly (xoom drops to 3g from hsdpa)

Does that actually work? I see no reason why it should.
ed. I can't even reproduce what you're seeing. It may be that we're on different carriers, but my device isn't responding to pings from the world while on mobile data.
It's normal for HS*PA to fall back on 3G sometimes when it can't actually maintain a HS*PA connection.

Yeah I thought the whole point of it falling back to 3G was because the wasn't capable of holding an HSPDA connection? Certainly if I'm travelling I get a mixture of 3G and H... and sometimes still GPRS (*shakes fist at Orange*).

Yes it works with my provider anyway.. On the status bar when roaming/doing nothing xoom says that my connection is '3G.' When I start to ping it (or from it) the connection changes to HSDPA; logo changes to 'H' and it prevents it from falling back to 3G. Everything works much faster when the roaming doesn't happen and for some reason even the conn dies sometimes (no internet connection) when it keeps changing it back and worth.
Didn't have too much time to test it with firefox5, but it seems that this doesn't happen with it.. but firefox itselfs crashes a bit too often Maybe this whole "thing" is fixed in honeycomb 3.1.

I'm noticing strange WiFi issues, in that my data speeds keep slowing down to a standstill for no reason.
In fact, when I first booted the device, and started to install my apps, I wondered why there were downloading so slowly, so I installed "SpeedTest" and sure enough my data speeds were like 1.5mbps. To test that my network hadn't just suddenly gone crazy, I ran the test from my laptop and that confirmed normal speeds.
To remedy this, I changed my advanced wifi settings to just use the 2.4 ghz signal, then changed my router settings (a BT Home Hub 3) from smart wireless (auto changes channel to the "best" channel to just remain on that already pre determined best channel.
I then immediately saw an improvement, as it was downloading now at about 27mbps... and so I thought I'd cracked it.
Apparently not.... It regularly goes back to downloading really slowly, and sometimes, messing with all those settings again doesn't do anything to improve the speeds.
Anyone else experiencing this, or has any insights as to what is going on? could it be a wifi driver issue, which may be rectified in later updates or baseband versions?
Here are some pics to give you an idea... all from the same network
Back to awesome after changing router security settings... I wonder how long it will last this time?

Exactly the same for me:

I'm being sent a replacement but I can't say I'm convinced that one will be any different.
This issue occurred on my BT home hub, a tp-link access point, and the access points where I work.
Wow, so this is pretty interesting. Today I was fiddling around with VPNs (ends up being unrelated), and noticed that my wifi speed as shown by Speedtest was HORRIBLE. like 1mb - 6mb when it should have been close to 70mb. Not only that but while it was testing it would freeze several times during the downloads and uploads. We actually returned my husband's first tablet because of this issue, thinking it was a hardware problem. After an hour or so of fiddling around trying to figure out what happened, I noticed that Location services was on. Usually I keep this turned off on my tablet. I turned it off and ran speedtest again and what do you know. My wifi speed was back to where it should be and there were no freezes.
So what I'm wondering is... has anyone else noticed this problem? Can you reproduce it? Why would this be happening? Can anyone think of a fix for it? Most of the time keeping Location turned off won't be a problem for me, but Aereo for example, needs it turned on in order to stream shows.
One thing of note is that SpeedTest seems to rely on location services since when you fire it up with location services set to high accuracy mode the GPS radio fires up in notification panel. I'm not entirely sure that it'd be a fair assessment to say that the setting affects all wifi connectivity speeds when enabled as opposed to reduced speed during GPS use.
That said, I can't say that i'm seeing the same thing using Ookla's SpeedTest app. At first I thought I did but after toggling location services a couple times things settled in and i get consistent 55-60Mbps download test results whether location services is on or off or in high/low accuracy mode. My test results on the tablet match consistently with those of my rMBP in the same room on the same router (in the next room) using a 5ghz wireless n network.
I've never turned location services off on my tablet, opting instead to always leave it in low power mode (GPS isnt my thing, I use my cell phone for that) and have never had issues with wifi speed.
When I went back to see if I could reproduce it by turning Location back on.. it was fine. So I have no idea what's going on, lol. Maybe after leaving location on for a while it starts to degrade? I might test that out eventually. Just glad it is working better now.
This is my story:
I have finally fixed my Nexus 5 that had a broken motherboard issue since Septamber 2015 (I didn´t find anyone who could fix it here in Uruguay).
Once It turned on it connected to my home's Wi-Fi and starting suggesting uploads. And I did, first to Android M, then January 2016 fix, then February's and March's.
And then after waiting for all the apps to update, I started using it.
I quickly noticed the battery drain regarding wifi and I looked up in the forums and fixed it (i think). But then some other things came up, but, the most important is:
When I connect my phone to my home Wi-Fi, it just takes all the bandwidth, and if I do an adsl test on my pc, it displays the downloading speed down to 1.x instead of 15.x Mbps.
Thing is, when I am connected, even the internet speed of my phone is slow. and when I turn Wi-Fi off on my phone, my pc´s Wi-Fi´s speed is back to 15.x Mbps, and my phone on LTE has a normal internet traffic.
I have tried to search for this issue over the internet, but maybe it is a translation issue not finding the right word, but only the "battery drain due to wifi issue on android" comes up.
Any clue?
Thanks.
