I am on stock ROM. With Franko Kernel 32
My router is Belkin N150
My Laptop is a W520 purchased over a year ago i7.
My laptop is able to connect at 150 Mb/sec
My Samsung S2 is able to connect at 150 MB/Sec.
My Nexus will only connect at 75 Mb/Sec.
The samsung with a stock rom and stock Kernel is able to pump data over wifi much much faster than my Nexus.
I get 600 Kb/Sec moving data from my laptop to the phone and phone to the laptop
On the nexus I am lucky to get 300 Kb/Sec.
I have tried all the TCP/IP options in Franko Kernel. Westwood / Bic etc.
Whats going on here.
Any tip much apprcated.
BTW I am using channel 7 cause it has the least traffic in my area.

Lately my internet has been crappy. I have to wait forever for a vid to buffer. I was running an older Energy Rom. I updated to latest Energy 21885. Still no better. I tried changing Radios. I am now using 1.14.25.35
When I tether using a USB my Ping is 2,400 ms 540k down 20 k up.
When I Wifi the phone to laptop my ping is 915ms 550k down and 30k up.
The latency is better but speed is still much slower than it used to be.
What should I try now?
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.

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.

Humm, I've never gotten anything higher than 65Mbps even on 5Ghz. However I've never tried it on 40Mhz width as I thought it wouldn't work. I'll have to test this out and see.

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

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?
Where did you find the settings for Wi-Fi freq?

You select the frequency when joining the network. If you have a dual band wireless router and have both frequencies broadcasting, the option to chose which band will appear when you are searching for wireless networks.
I get 50.28Mbps down and 20.11 Mbps up when testing with the Speedtest.net Android app on a 2.4GHz frequency router

Just curious who is your ISP ? 20 mbps up is awesome and I wish I could get there lol. I run 45 ish mbps down and 4.5 megabits per second up on suddenlink cable ISP on 2.4GHz

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.

Is your bluetooth turned on? If so turn it off and re run Speedtest.net. I have had a few phones that do not play well with bluetooth

I still have 2.4 GHz issues with the bluetooth disabled.
I recently upgraded to the Verizon Quantum Gateway Router. I switched my Nexus 10 tablet to 5GHz mode. Now on
wireless I get my max subscribed rate of 75Mbs+ for a download, but the upload still lags considerably around
18Mbs.
My Verizon rate if 75/75.
Thoughts?
