I have a linksys wifi N router at home and my laptop connects at around 144mbps, however my phone only connects at around 72mbps..
Also my laptop always sits on my coffee table which is about 15' from my router (through one wall) and has excellent signal. But my phone usually only has good signal in the same spot. It only usually lights up like two of the wifi indicators.
Does everyone else have this issue? Are the wifi chips just not strong in the phone or what?
My laptop is currently saying that it is recieving at 54mbps, my mesmerize is showing the same speed. Although my laptop is stating that I have excellent strength, and my phone is showing fair strength. I think the wifi is only so-so in this phone, I rooted last night and just got wifi tethering going. With the phone broadcasting a hostspot next to the laptop it only gave a fair signal strength. I'm not sure if the strength of a wifi hotspot has anything to do with the recieving end of the signal though.

I've had this issue with both my droid and my blackberry (when I used my blackberry). I think that the wifi capabilities in phones are not as good as they are in computers.
but the reason I'm asking this is this phone is supposed to have wifi N radio in it.. Older phones only had G antennas which are only capable of 54mbps.. wifi N is theoretically capable of up to 300mbps, I've never seen anything actually connect at that speed, but it would seem that my phone which is brand new should atleast connect at the same speed as a 2 year old wifi N laptop???

If your router is only G that's the max speed you will get?
Wifi is a pain in general to troubleshoot, as there could be many, many reasons why it is slow or not working at all.
General questions to be asked are:
Do you have security enabled wifi?
What kind of encryption are you using?
How many devices are connected to the network? (Wired or wireless)
Is the router set to send a wireless N signal? (most routers have that optioned, but not always running as most devices are not wireless N compatible)
I've had my phone connected at several wifi's (I travel a lot for work and am in hotels all the time) and my connection speed varies. At home I have great connection and speed test to 5megs a second download (wireless N--it connects) currently at a hotel in Colorado, 1480kbps download (wireless G)
I still stick by my thoughts as far as the wifi on the phones will never be as good as the wifi in a computer, be it a laptop or a desktop. Phones just don't have the battery power to hold a super strong/fast wifi signal.
I have wifi speed problems also but my first gen ipod touch does not seem to have issues

yes, the router is set to wifi N or actually it's set to all!!! I have security enabled..
There's only two devices running wifi (laptop/cell phone)
I get fast download speeds like 5000kbps down/2500kbps up when using the speedtest.net app..
But when I go to wifi settings and click on my router once it's connected whether I have Good (usually) or excellent it's only connected to my router at 72Mbps.. I have a static IP set for it..
I guess mobile phone wifi chips just aren't up to par with laptop chips

Those are my sentiments exactly. Even with it not being as fast, it's plenty fast for everything I need it to do, but 3g is fast enough for me generally. I only connect to wireless when I'm not in good cell service.
This is super off-the-wall but does anyone else use a Macbook via wifi on their home network at the same time as an Android device, and notice super crappy wifi performance of just the Macbook? I am using an AT&T uverse wifi router (via motorola.)
I have tested this with a Fascinate and an Eris, and with an old Macbook 14" and a newer Pro. When wifi on the phone is turned off the macbooks seem to work pretty good (there are still times when they crap out). When the wifi is on, the phones (and my dell laptop) can connect fine, speedtest shows full bandwidth from them, but the macbooks just run super slow, even when the laptop is very close to the router.
Well, my laptop is a macbook and I use our home wifi network for internet, I occasionally use wifi at home on my phone but I'm usually on 3g (pay $30/month for it, might as well use it). But I haven't experienced issues with network performance on the macbook while there are android devices connected to the same network or not. The problem must be somewhere else in your setup?
I don't see how one could effect the other
It could be the layout and materials of the room you are in. With radio (like WiFi) more than just signal strength matters. You can get interference or reflection of the signal that can cause problems. Newer notebooks have 3 antennas to help deal with these problems.
If the notebook is older, it likely has 1 or 2 antennas and might not deal with relection as well. Not sure what you could do to fix it though to be honest
Thanks for the info, I know that it is hard to imagine that one affects the other but I tested it a few times and each time the network speed on the macbook was bad when the phone wifi was on (even when the phone was not being used) and then got a lot better when i switched the phone wifi off. It is probably related to the Motorola wifi router more so than the phone, but I figured I would see if anyone else noticed it. The funny thing is that if i switch the phone over to hotspot mode (using wifi-tether 1.6beta) and connect the macbook to it, it runs great.
Your home network speed will drop to the speed of the slowest device on that network. There are 3 different speeds of wireless network cards in today’s electronic devices – B, G and N. B is the slowest wireless connection and can be found in things like Wii consoles. N is the fastest wireless connection and can be found in things like Ipad2′s and Macbook Air’s.
A computer network in a home is only as fast as the slowest device connected to the network. Thus if your network had 1 Wireless B device, 2 wireless G devices and a wireless N device, and your neighbor's network had 3 Wireless N devices, your neighbor's network speed would be much faster than yours.
Have anyone tested the Z3 with 802.11 ac Wifi? What speeds are you getting?
I'm getting 40 mbits with the n standard and i'm considering upgrading to ac if there is a decent improvement.
Thanks,

I'm getting around 433 Mbps and say excellent strength and 293 and it says Good strength
i'm using a Netgear r8000
You will get 433 Max "link speed" as this is a single antenna chipset, though actual throughput will be lower.
Also go an R8000 here free from a Netgear beta test, great router. I get 207 Mbits/s (~25 MB/s) one floor below the router. I tested using my NAS as the test server.
Get the R7500 its more advanced (despite the naming convention) in the sense that it has MU-MIMO meaning multiple devices can be part of a link rotation compared to a regular unit where the router rotates between individual devices. The S801 chipset in the Z3 supports MU-MIMO.
The R7500 has a Snapdragon 8064 dual core 1.4Ghz (Cortex A15) vs the the R8000 which has an older Cortex A9 at 1Ghz. The R7500 will be 70+% faster and run cooler 28nm vs 40nm CPU. I doubt you will notice any difference in regular use though lol.
Thanks thanks for the replys!
I have been considering the ASUS RT-AC87U AC2400, but it might be a bit overkill.
It's twice as expensive as the r7500. I just want a fast and stable connection.
I kind of want to use the flaps as little as possible, to keep it waterproof.
So i was thinking of doing all data transfer through wifi and charge it with the magnetic charger.
The Asus AC-87U uses a slower and hotter running ARM Cortex A9 chip when compared to the coooler running and much faster per mhz ARM Cortex A15 based Snapdragon in the Netgear R7500. The rest of the tech is similar as both use Quantenna tech.
The Netgear R7500 is better than the Asus AC87U, previous bad reviews were before latest updates starting in November. Updated reviews say its very good.
There a few complaints of overheating issues with the AC-87U causing decreased performance occasionally.
Both cost about the same, the Netgear R7500 ~$250 and the Asus RT-87U is ~$260-270
T-Mobile gave me a Asus AC-68u and I've been very happy with it's performance.
I can't speak for transfer speeds as I haven't really tested it. But it easily reaches the entire house, all the way to the back of the yard and to the end of the driveway. (The router is in the basement)
I could stream multiple movies from my pc to multiple TV's throughout the house using chromecasts without a hiccup.
Completely destroys the little Linksys Wireless-N router we had before hand that struggled to get signal to the other side of the house.
Maxes out my internet connection @ 110MB/s down and 30MB/s up
I use the T-Mobile Asus RT-AC68u as well. Free for US customers. I get the same link speeds as above (433 with great signal). It also helped tremendously with the Remote Play feature as I was previously using a 2.4 Ghz router (basically unplayable).
Thanks for all the replys. I actually went and got a r7500, got a pretty good deal.
My z3 is maxing out my isp cap at 100/20. But the data transfer from my computer is still quite slow, about 10 Mbit. Tested with xperia wifi connectivity and es file explorer. Any advice to max out the data transfer?
Update the router? What is the firmware version of the router?
I updated to latest firmware during the initial setup.
However, I am getting 100 Mbit over wifi with Tptest on the z3, but not when download downloading files.

Dumb question, but how is the PC connected to the network?
Yeah that's a good question!
So I tested the Z3 upload/download to my Netgear ReadyNAS104 which is connected to the R8000 by Gigabit Ethernet, I get ~25-26 MB/s (207 Mbits/s).
Are you doing WiFi to LAN or WiFi to Wifi? WiFi to Wifi can be slower espescially depending on the WiFi card of the other device and distance from router.
Best way is to test is WiFi to LAN. Like a NAS or HDD connected to the router directly.
I tested near and one floor below the router with same result. The R7500 should give you a similar result. Use a test app called "WiFi Speed Test" or something similar or just direct transfer to and from phone.
The PC is connected over LAN 1Gbps.
I downloaded the wifi speed test app, and the server version for my PC. Test gave good results, about 180-205 Mbits both up and down.
I also changed the test file size in the app to 1GB, and it worked great. I followed the transfer speed in windows taskmanager networking tab, and i can see that it is using about 20% of a 1Gbps.
BUT!
How do get these speeds in actual file transfers? Both remote share and a ftp client on the z3 only uses about 1.5-2% of the 1Gbps.

What size files are you transferring? The bottleneck becomes your hard-drive/ssd in your computer, and the flash in your phone. Especially if you're transferring smaller files.
Im testing with one single file, circa 1Gb. Copying to the internal memory on the phone. BUt since the WiFi speedtest app can generate these speeds, also with 1gb file size, from the same computer with ssd. Transfers from windows and via ftp should have the same speed, but it doesn't.
Packet size etc can have an impact on transfer rates.

Can I change this in windows? Also, can I see what the packet size is for the WiFi speedtest app? I assume it's "message block size" which is 4096 bytes
Ok, I did some more reading and testing.
I found this information
"Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer have a static buffer size of 4096 bytes that can't be changed, in comparison to that Filezilla has a buffer size of 256 KB."
I thought I already tried with ftp, since I downloaded a ftp server on the z3, But I used windows explorer to connect to it, thus the buffer size limit, I guess.
So I downloaded Filezilla and tested the transferspeeds. about 15-20 MB/s, so thats good.
Now, to the problem. FTP apps dont seem to have write access to the SD card.
Is rooting the only solution for this?
Yes, root or Android 5.0 since that adds the access back.
Hello guys,
I just received my Motorola Photon Q mobile. Asked Cornholio to do the SIM mod.
Tested my new phone yesterday with carbonROM . Well I Must say all looks good except wifi.
Wifi speed is showing me 1Mbps
My old xperia mini pro is showing me someting around 70Mbps. My wife has got new mobile too ( Lenovo Vibe X2 ) and she has 150Mbps.
Even her old Iphone 4S is showing her 70Mbps or so.
So it looks like there is some problem with my new phone.
My router is Netgear JWNR2000V2.
Do you guys have some experience with this ?
Thanks a lot
Is it actually slow?
You won't get 150 or even 70 mbps as the phone doesn't do 802.11n IIRC. G is limited to 54mbps, and that is 'ideal'. Also the phone doesn't do the 5ghz band, so you are limited to 2.4ghz.
Unless you wifi speeds are actually slow, who cares what it says it is connected at.

That's not completely right.
It does 802.11n but not the 5GHz band.
It also has only one WLAN antenna, so the speed is limited.
Looking in OpenWRT it shows for my PQ:
RX Rate -> 72.2 Mbit/s, MCS 7, 20MHz
TX Rate -> 65.0 Mbit/s, MCS 7, 20MHz
MCS Index -> http://mcsindex.com/
Btw. it is actually better using 802.11n over 802.11g.
So don't disable 802.11n in your router, consider to disable 802.11b instead.
Well yeah it is slow.
I was not able to connect or load the Google store yesterday on my new Photon Q.
But I must say it is connected. I saw some threads whre ppl were complaining that wifi is connected and disconnected after some time. I do not have this. I have just this connection speed is 1Mbps So watching youtube videos or surfing web on the phone through wifi is not possible at the moment
So I am oging to do some testing today. Hope I will find the problem.

I was never able to get my N network to connect... but I may have been forcing it to 5ghz, which explains why it wouldn't have connected.
I haven't used my Q in a year or so personally, so this was all from memory. Either way, the hardware is 3 years old at this point, so the newest wifi tech is a bit beyond its manufacture date.
@arrrghhh, sadly I cannot disable 802.11g in OpenWRT with my router (a driver limitation I guess) so I cannot test it.
There were also some limitations on wether it connects and if it is stable (a wireless setting "preamble" [short/long] caused me random crashes).
@Jovzin, if I remember right, there have been reports that a defective WiFi antenna might be the problem.
Though, I'm not sure where and how the antenna is connected. I only know that there is a "special plastic" within the phone, which replaces the antenna.

Cause I am desperate. I tried now to do the Wifi tether from my wife's new mobile Lenovo vibe X2 the phones were close to each other and still 1Mbps Crap
Did test with my router: When I was about 5 meters away I got 26Mbps. I got closer to router and it drops back to 1-2 Mbps. So really do not know what is happening crap.

What is your router configured to broadcast? Have you tried changing any of the settings? Are you sure the hardware is OK - did you test it before the SIM modification?
@Jovzin, it might help, yes. (Shipping costs are pretty high.)
But first you should open your PQ and take a look.
Maybe CornholioGSM just forgot to attach it correctly and you don't need to replace anything.
Also, please answer to arrrghhhs question.
Are you sure it isn't a power saving function? Try downloading something in the background and then checking the connection speed.
My droid 4 also connects at 1Mbps when the connection is idle. Laptop wireless adapters also commonly do this to save power - they show their unthrottled speed on the wireless panel but you can see it connecting at 1mbps when idle on both the router and 3rd party wireless utils.
Hello some good news.
I did a factory reset.
And now somehow it is working. And I am sure taht I have uncheckd that battery saver for wifi.
But when the phone is idle it is 1Mbps. When I am downloading somethign from store it is 65Mbps. Hmm there is some build in saver ? Which is different than this power saver wifi which I can tick in wifi options ?
Anyway I am happy that somehow it is working
Thanks for help guys
If I may one more question.
It is possible to watch HD youtube videos on PQ ? Cause in youtube app I see only 360p Was hoping that there will be option for 720 at least...
If you enabled 40mhz channel width on the router (you're using 20mhz now), you could double the 65mbps to 130mbps, but this only really works well if you're using 5ghz channel, or have a very quiet 2.4ghz channel, otherwise you're subjected to more interference.

Correct.
In 2.4GHz (what the PQ can) it is contraproductive to use 40MHz channel.
It even can be slowed down in a "noisy" environment (I gave it already up).
Also, this is ruthless to your neighbours, so don't.
In 5GHz it is only usable if you can use more than just a few channels.
Even then, it is obvious that most devices are 2.4 GHz and just "a few" can 5GHz (the PQ cannot).
So it actually is not a problem to use 40MHz channel in 5GHz. In future this might change.
Hello All,
As the title says. Anyone experiencing slow WiFi download speeds? I get 50~100Mbps down and 800+Mbps up. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max next to me and it's getting 500+ on UP and DOWN speeds. All things point to a Samsung issue, the rest of the WiFi devices are doing much better on 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
I've test various settings on the router itself. Different channels, Channel bandwidth (40,80,160) , and the issue still persists.
My router is an ASUS RT-AX82U and it's about ~10 ft from phone.
Any feedback would help. Seems like Samsung is struggling with WiFi 6 issues. My Tab S7+ can't even connect to the new WiFi 6.

Updated my router a couple weeks ago to TP-Link WiFi 6e, I only use WiFi 6 cause only a couple devices support the 6 ghz band. But I'm getting between 800-890 mbps down consistently. On a U1 S22 Ultra. It's about the same on the 6ghz band as well.

My S22u connects to a Nighthawk AX5700 wifi6 router (Costco model) at 1.2 - 2.4 Gbps depending on how close I am to my router. I get 500up/500down pretty much everywhere in my house (this equates to my Fios internet speed) utilizing 160Mhz channel width. This is with no changes to my S22u wifi setup out of the box.
Also of interest is the type of phone case, if any, you are using.
I'm getting 339Mbps down 23Mbps up on Speed Test. My internal is 650Mbps, I don't have a WiFi 6 router.

At first I thought it was the router but I did replace the ASUS with a Linksys Wifi 6E and same issue with phone. Also distance and number of devices connected doesn't matter I've tried just 1 phone 1 router and literally standing next to it same issue.
bounddyy & gernerttl can you both:
1. Post a screen shot of your connection speed next to your router like pic below.

Ok good info. Is your backhaul from the mesh APs to your router via wired or wireless connection?
Not sure if you have installed any wifi debug/info apps? I use Net Analyzer and it would be great to see a screen shot of your 5G spectrum in graph form like below.
I have a Verizon FiOS symmetrical Gigabit link. My PC gets 900+ on both uploads and downloads over ethernet, and around 500 by 500 on wifi. My S22 Ultra Qualcomm version seems to max out at 360 to 400 down and 60 to 150 up. I have a Ubiquity Dream machine pro with their wifi 6 LR Access point (in a one-bedroom apartment, around 8 feet from the Wireless AP).
The speed test were run within a minute of each other, using the same remote server.
I wanted to remove wifi as a variable, so I tested a USB C to ethernet adapter, yet download speeds are still limited to 300, and upload jumped to 700 Mbps.
Does the S22 Ultra have some bandwidth restrictions or other issues?
I have screenshots if that helps.
Curious if anyone else has tested their S22 Ulta network speed using a USB to ethernet adapter.
Thank you,
Ryan
are u on wpa2-aes?
I have Fios 500 up/down and I get 545 up and 500 down on my S22u. Check your wifi connection speed on your phone to ensure its connected to your router at a speed that is greater or equal to your internet speed.
Just got 381/23.3 Mbps down/up (WiFi); and my Tab S7 is getting 355/22.3 Mbps down/up (WiFi). Both were about three feet away from the router.
As a comparison, my Dell desktop is getting 476/22.4 Mbps down/up (wired).
I consistently at or near the bandwidth I am paying for. I have Google Nest WiFi with three mesh points. I am paying for 400/20 Mbps down/up.

So again, check your wifi connection speed on your phone to ensure its connected to your router at a speed that is greater or equal to your internet speed. Settings->Connections->Wifi->Your SSID->gear.
This will show you the connection speed between your phone and the router. If this is less than your internet speed then you will never get what you paid for. Most wifi speed issues are within the home wifi network, not the phone.
Btw, my phone connects to my home wifi6 network between 1.2 -2.4Gbps so achieving the full 500 up/down speed I'm paying for to the internet is not an issue.

866 Mbps connection to my router, Google WiFi Nest is not WiFi 6. Even if it was WiFi 6, I won't get faster than what my ISP provides, which is 400/20 Mbps.
P. S. I have the Verizon S22 Ultra.

I have a Verizon FiOS symmetrical Gigabit link. My PC gets 900+ on both uploads and downloads over ethernet, and around 500 by 500 on wifi. My S22 Ultra Qualcomm version seems to max out at 360 to 400 down and 60 to 150 up.

I also have a UDMP router and Unifi U6 AP. On speedtests (not WiFi link speed), My S22U Snapdragon can reach 1.9 Gbps on 160MHz channel width and 900 Mbps on 80MHz channel width. Download/upload speeds are the same for me.
There are no bandwidth restrictions. The problem is your Wi-Fi setup. Make sure you're using 80MHz channel width and a relatively clean Wi-Fi channel (check with WiFi Analyzer app to find cleanest channel). Also make sure to test in the same room as AP with a clear line of sight to see maximum throughput.
