Bad WiFi speeds

On my Nexus 5, WiFi is fine downstairs near the router (BT Hub 3).
But upstairs in my room where I usually am, speeds are very very slow. Less than 1mbps. On my N4 & N10 speeds are fine in my room like the rest of the house, but my nexus 5 is getting bad speeds.
What is the issue? What can I do? I've tried changing WiFi to 2.4ghz only but no such luck.

Nexus 5 Rogers - Signal problems

Hey guys, so I know a lot of people have been having problems with getting signal with the nexus 5 especially on rogers
What I found to help a little bit is if I change my network to 3g/2g
Sucks tho because I don't use LTE
Anyone else find solutions?

So frustrating. Rogers here to. It's not network related since it's happening in the US as well.

Doesn't want to connect to LTE

Anybody else having issues with LTE. On my phone it always wants to revert to H or H+ I have to cycle airplane mode to get LTE to come on pretty frequently. Anybody else seen issues with this?

that would be because in your area there is a better hspa+ connection than a lte connection. if you try forcing lte in that kind of situation, it could lower your battery life due to bad signal.
Ok, its just weird because my wife has the n5 too and she seems to be on LTE more than I am. And usually gets better speeds too. Maybe I will just take her place on the couch! By the way Simms do you EVER stop helping!?

T-Mobile weak LTE

Ever since Ive had my nexus 5 Ive noticed weaker lte signal on t-mobile. I have a nexus 4 that has the .33 radio that i flashed and i get lte in more places & better speeds. Both are using the same t-mobile APNs, for example on my nexus 5 half of my home I get HSPA+ and on the other half I do get LTE i guess I'm just in the middle of two towers that reach me. On the nexus 4 though, I always have LTE In my house and In more areas where the nexus 5 doesn't. I then later flashed the cataclysm rom and thought maybe it would help but nothing, I did find a setting within cataclysm to force lte always on and I get even more LTE service than on the nexus 4, but it takes up a lot of battery. My issue is Im back on stock KitKat and dont have that feature and T-Mobile LTE is just weak. Is it just my nexus 5 or have other people expirenced this too?

Have you tried flashing different radios?

I'm located in Forest HIlls, NY On KitKat 4.4, I usually get 3-4 bars, indoors/basement. After updating to 4.4.2, I still get 3-4 bars. Like real estate, it's location, location, location.

Do a search for EFS and Modems, there's a thread that has a link to all of them. Some have said earlier radios like from 4.4 get better signal. I'm on 4.4.2 stock radio and didn't see any change from one to another but that's just me. In Brooklyn and Manhattan NYC mostly btw.

But there's sparse evidence any are better on LTE specifically. In theory, the latest should be the best. I get 4 bars LTE and 30Mbps d/l, yet get 5 bars H+ and 12Mbps d/l...so clearly despite a lower overall signal strength, my download performance remains perfectly acceptable.

Slow data connection

Is there any fix for the like 100kp or less download speed? I can have full signal even full LTE and this problem occurs. It didn't happen on my S2 or even my S4 that I was using
