Problems with WiFi

My WiFi isn't running at its full speed I have a 50 mb dl line but my phone will only do 6-10 mb dl
I'm on vu 1.29
Can I edit build prop to fix this and if so what line

I don't think the build.prop is going to be what you want to edit. Maybe try another kernel, I was having some similar issues until I started using my current one.

Your phone will never see 50mbps

Yeah bro, Pirate is right on this one. We get 56 thru WiFi altogether - it doesn't matter if I am solely connected, or if both computers, laptop, ps3, Wii, ipod and both phones are connected. Which with seven in a household happens more than you might think.... 6-10 is all your gonna get... I spiked at 11 once, and I should have framed that speed test.... Some.of these people with thier 30 + screen shots ..... I dunno man, hasn't happened to me. Saw one first hand from Vegas on an unrooted inspire that hit 22 on mobile... Obviously they had the shiz backhauled or what the Hell ever there. In.Arkansas we will get 7 tops on Mobile data, and that is spotty and rare, avg is 2-4. You know, I actually haven't speed tested in awhile...

What router are you using? How much space is in between you and your router? Try flashing the proper kernel, Radio and RIL

I don't have the connection to test it but everything i have read says 65mb is the top. No problem here maxing out my cable at 18 but I smh wondering what you guys do that requires such speed...

I have wireless-n, so I will connect at 65mbps, which is tops for the Inspire from what I have seen. The top actual download speed I will usually get is around 15-16mbps, with 10-12mbps being the average.

Ya mine will hit 14 for a split second but always goes down to 6 mb its like there's a cap around 6 cuz it will hit that drop to 4 then go back to 6 so on and so on.
I take it I can't edit something in build prop to make WiFi better

I've pulled every bit of the 18mbps of my cable connection, once. It averages lower because I share my broadband with 4 computers, 2 cell phones on WiFi and 2 xbox 360s.

Speed test xoom 4g

What have you all gotten on your speed test with the xoom 4g? I've been getting numbers between 40-50 mbps download and 15-25 mbps upload. I tethered to my laptop and got around 15 download and 8 upload. Why the drastic difference between on the xoom and on my mac?

My guess is because when tethered you are using the other device to link to a network whereas when you are on 4g you are directly connected to the network. You are sharing bandwidth tethered, that is my unofficial guess

Weak wifi

I'm on cm9 on my ns4g and I get weak wifi even at 10 feet from my router. I have tried all kernels and most roms (ics and gb) and all radios. Anyone know a fix

are you serious ? 10 feet , like 3,4 meters ???
may i ask , how many walls in this 3,4 meters between you and router?

What do you speed test at? I often show 1-2 bars of wifi less than 10 feet from my router but you wouldn't know it downloading anything or doing anything over wireless.

Extremely slow connecting to wifi on CM10 (stable/nightly)

I have an HTC One X (AT&T) and I am having a pretty slow time connecting to wifi around the house and in other places. It is a WEP connection at home, and several other android devices have no issue connecting (my dad's Nexus S running CM10 takes 3 seconds) and my iPhone 3G takes 2 seconds to connect, while my HOX running CM10 takes anywhere from 60 seconds to an entire hour, usually falling between 15 minutes to 30 minutes to connect. Once connected, data speeds are normal and the connection is stable. I've had this problem on CM10 stable and the latest nightly, before and after a wipe and clean install. I don't believe I have been having this issue the entire time I've been on CM10.
NOTE: I restored my Cleanrom backup (4.0.4 I believe) and the wifi connects in 2 seconds to the same router without fail every time, over and over again.
Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to flash a custom radio or something?

You guys get a cookie. They were both 2wires. Is it just the router is a POS and there is a connection lag or something?

Something with those routers are preventing cm10 based ROMs to latch on to its wifi. Sense ROMs connect instantly, and I bet if you use someone else's wifi that isn't a 2wire it would connect instantly. Join the clan bro.... :thumbdown:

Bastards. Good thing I'm in IT and I have like 5 more routers. That makes sense, because when all this started was when I came home for Christmas. Should be gone again in a few days. Thanks guys.

Heyyy sense you mentioned using other routers, would you know of any other routers compatible with uverse? Regular DSL routers would work?

My friend has a cisco one but he also has a new 2wire box. They are both transmitting wifi and one says uverse on the side. I think the AT&T guy was high when he set them up, because I argued with their family that they had 2 wifi sources and they were like no we only have 1. You could always disable wifi in the 2Wire and hook in your linksys or whatever into one of the ethernet ports on the back of the 2wire. That's what I would do.

Wow that explains why I can never get WiFi at my friends house when it works on his iPhone and his dad's galaxy note

So what is the solution? Surely there has to be a workaround?

Not that I can find.. I've been reasearching and cant come up with much.. a guy gave me a tip with the default router passwords but mine won't except it bc its too short.. I know I have to go into settings and change some stuff but haven't yet. The address is on the router to access settings but I keep forgetting beings im working on sense lockscreen mods

What router are you using (with ac wireless)

I'm planing on changing my router for a new one that has ac wireless. Before I RMA my nexus 5 for that damn WiFi drop issue I thought it was time to try a New router but I would like to know who has a router with ac wireless and if you have any WiFi drop. So very easy.
Router manufacturer make and model.....
WiFi drop yes/no
Thanks

I use a Asus RT-AC66R and love it. Never had an issue with any device. No drops either.

Mine is no AC wireless but its certainly better than those Asus AC High performance routers
what I like is a balance between Coverage and performance a company called Amped Wireless In the USAMakes these types of routers not some cheap china/korean stuff
What I have is this http://www.ampedwireless.com/products/r20000g.html
It's got dual signal amplifiers each antenna port is outputting 600Mw of power that's face melting wifi right there. Most routers don't even output 100Mw. Routers with internal antennas put out only like 50Mw and have no signal noise filters.
So overall my router is a bit overkill but somehow my Nexus 5 manages to drop the connection lol... my other devices don't exhibit such behavior though.
I'm guessing this is software and I'll wait till Android 4.5 comes I have a year anyway from LG to RMA

Netgear Nighthawk R7000.

Did you check what channel your routers using or if there's a conflict with a nearby router on the same channel. My wife's Macbook pro couldn't hold a WiFi signal from 6 feet away yet every other device in our house had no problems. What I did was took the router off auto and set it to use a specific channel that no other routers within a couple hundred feet where using. Now the MBP has been rock solid since. Turns out me and two neibors were all on channel 6. All my Asus Transformers where real sensitive to signal also.

Try different channels anyway.. Different device radios react to differently to frequencies

It certainly does. You can force it to 2.4 or 5Ghz.
I had to force 2.4Ghz on the phone with my old Wireless G router or speeds were compromised.

Asus RT-AC66U with latest Merlin
No drop

Anyone having trouble seeing some AC channels? I had a launch day N5 that had no problem connecting to ch 153 on my Netgear Nighthawk running DD-WRT. I sold that N5 months ago and now have bought another N5. This one won't "see" my AC network unless it's set to a channel under 48. Even wifi analyzer shows that I have a limited 5 GHz channel range. My S4 connects just fine. Do your N5's see higher 5 GHz channels?
See the photo below. I only see my neighbor's wifi 5G network and the graph stops at 44.
EDIT: Fixed it. It seems changing my extension channel has fixed the issue. I now see the network. N5 seems to not support all AC channels listed in my DD-WRT channel settings.
