Is there any reason that when using Wi-Fi tether the speeds on the laptop I'm tethering would be significantly lower than direct speeds from my phone?
Phone is in the same spot so reception isn't the issue.
Speeds are; on phone - around 600k-1MB per second down to 200k per second on my laptop so limitations of Wi-Fi shouldn't be the issue.
That's the basics and its got me stumped.
I've usually seen reports of WiFi tethering being about a third the speed of a phone's connection (just averaging what I recall, which is always suspect). Figured this was due to processing overhead - a phone isn't necessarily an optimum router/gateway/switch.
Those speeds seem kind of slow to begin with - are you on 3G only?

Rate this thread to express how you think the Huawei Nexus 6P's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
WiFi strength is good...nothing spectacular.
Good wifi.
Works pretty good. Pick it up outside in my car from my parking spot. Not strong but still connected.

Wifi is great here....... @svetius how are you doing Sir.........long time
I don't know if it's my router (I just bought it 2 days before my phone came in) but my download speed is not very good. I have a 50mbps down and 25mbps up, but when I run speedtest I get anywhere from 1-30 down and always 25-30 up (normal). My upload is always fantastic, but down varies greatly. I don't know if it's the router or if it's my phone. In all situations I am less than 10 feet from my router.
Can anyone run speed test on 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands and inform me if they see odd download speeds? By odd I mean jumping up and down a lot.

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
2.4 ghz - 57.91 down /12.25 up
1+1
5 ghz - 30.70 down / 12.22 up
2.4 ghz - 17.30 / 12.16 up
Constantly drops Wifi. Then often forgets networks and even can't see any while scanning.
I use a tplink wr 841 hp router, connection speed is 5/6 Mbps. in the full coverage area of the router, if I download on PC, i easily get 5/6 Mbps, but in mobile speed is wildly fluctuating, like 0-2-4-5-3-1-5 Mbps.
I use a Galaxy S7 , My brother uses HTC desire 820 (snapdragon 615). I found speed fluctuation on both of the devices,
There is not so much wifi's in my place, I get 3-4 other wifi while searching, then How can i improve my speed ?
My house has 50/20 Mbps internet. I'm using dual band WiFi, 5GHz on one router and 2.4GHz on another access point, both sit at the same location.
Previously I've been using 2.4GHz when I'm on 2nd floor with no problem gets about 30 Mbps when doing speed test, which is acceptable by me.
I'm not sure when but maybe within this few months, speed when I'm using on 2nd floor drops to 5 Mbps or sometimes even low as 0.3 Mbps. My iphone 4S still gets 20-30 Mbps.
Signal strength is the same as before about -70 to -80 dBm
It has no problem when I'm in line of sight from the access point.
Has anyone been experiencing this? And any solution
Thank you
PS. I still haven't reset the whole phone yet, but I have tried resetting network settings
Hi all! I've been looking for some answers but without success. So here is my question, and hopefully I didn't miss the answers somewhere in the forum
I have a Honor View 10 with the latest updated (Android 10). I noticed that the device's bandwidth seems very slow (between 0.5 and 1MB/s download in 4G with full reception and between 1 and 6MB/s in WiFi, 1 meter away from the WiFi spot at home).
In the same conditions I get around 3 to 5x more bandwidth with an old iPad mini 2
Rebooting the V10 or going on plane mode for >15 seconds doesn't help. The bandwidth isn't stable, sometimes it's better sometimes a lot worse.
Question : is there any bandwidth limiter that activates on these phones when they get old?
I think I checked all the usual issues that could explain this problem. The 4G bandwidth could be bad for a ton of reasons. But what I don't understand is how any Apple product seems to have at least 10MB/s bandwidth on my WiFi, while this phone sometimes drops at 1MS/s (same conditions, less than 1 meter from the WiFi spot)
Thanks in advance for your replies
