I get crappy speeds via the WiFi hotspot. For example, when I am in a good 4G zone, I get 2-3Mb download speeds on the Evo itself but my laptop or iPad connected via hotspot will get between 200-400Kb downloads. Same problem when I'm in 3G.
*bump*
Any help would be appreciated.
200-400 kilobits or kilobytes.... if its kilobytes, then that is normal download speed as statedfor your 4g connecting.
Kbits.
If I get 2-3M download speeds on the phone, why would another device connected by wifi to that same phone not get at least similar download speeds? If I get 2M on the phone and 1.6 to 1.8M on the iPad or laptop connected to the phone's hotspot, I'm happy. But getting 10% of the download speeds doesn't make sense. The Evo clearly has a great signal. Why would it not be able to pass it along to other devices by wifi since Sprint's Hotspot is designed (and marketed as being able) to do that?
--- Edited, I can't read apparently ---
Have you tried different channels on the wifi tether? Might be interference? Are you running at full 54mbit on the client? Interference would easily drop the speed down to 11 or lower, and absolutely KILL your speeds
Try firing up osmonitor (is cmdline top available?) and see if something is maxing the CPU. Since most of the routing is done with the built-in Linux routing and iptables, I don't think that would cause it, but CPU usage or interference would definitely kill it.
I get 3000kbits/s or 3Mbits/s on the phone and I get 200-400kbits/s via WiFi hotspot on my computer. I am getting about 10% of the bandwidth via the WiFi hotspot than I get on the phone itself or even on the laptop when tethered via USB.
hey,
today, i made a quick performance test over speedtest.net with a sim dedicated to data, that is usually in use via a sierra 3g-usb modem (Compass 885), to measure performance vs my new samsung galaxy nexus. the results surprised me quite a bit.
First, speeds measures that had taken on the pc while connected via modem were (download-up(Mb)): 1.0-0.5 and 0.9-0.7.
In contrast, using the same sim with the gn, i tethered internet over wifi, i measured on the pc: 2.5-0.4 and 2.6-0.25.
thus, similar upload speed both with usb modem and gn wifi tethering, and more than twise the dl speed in favor of tethering.
in that case, most probably it's the usb peripheral's attribute, limiting data speeds to a single Mbps. usb tethering sucks, got it. however, it's the second comparison that i can't find explanation for.
I'll describe carefully: same gn, same sim, same spot in the room, same servers in speedtest, first series of measures is simple: taken on the gn locally using the speedtest app (wifi and sync are off), and the second series - in the speedtest website (chrome) using the pc while connected to the gn over wifi.
The speedtest mobile app results: 1.9-0.4 and 1.5-0.5
The speedtest website results: 2.5-0.4 and 2.6-0.25
Ive repeated the test with another sim, and got similar differences in favor for the pc.
speedtest android app misbehaves or, gn attanuates local data speeds... any thoughts?
I saw a couple old posts on hotspot speeds being slow, I figured I would restart it since I am running into issues. Would you expect a laptop connected to SGS3 hotspot (the official way - I have free hotspot due to a shared data plan) to run significantly slower than using the phone itself? For example, I used the hotspot feature today, and while I am getting 15-20Mbps on my phone, at the same time a laptop and iPad connected to the hotspot get well below 1Mbps. Both the laptop and iPad a right next to my SGS3. Is this normal?
I ran a ping test and saw that a lot of packets (50% or more) were getting lost from my laptop to wifi connection.
I a running CleanROM 5.5.2, s unsure it is not an issue that would be ROM specific, given the amount of advanced users and developers using that ROM and very little talk in the forum about hotspot issues.
Hi all!
This is a problem I've been experiencing for a while. When using the pixel 3 as a WiFi hotspot my download speeds are considerably slower than the actual network top speed. I'm talking 20mb/s vs 130mb/s. Switched the SIM to a Samsung phone and the hotspot works at the maximum speed available.
At the same time, despite selecting 5ghz preferred, the pixel 3 doesn't use it at all. Tried this with a laptop, Samsung Galaxy S9 and a PS4. They all connect to the 2.4ghz and download speed is really slow. Again this issue is not present when using the same SIM in the Samsung.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
P.S. This is my 3rd Pixel 3 as the official Google support insisted it was a hardware issue
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.
Seems like this is an issue. https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S22/S22-ultra-5ghz-wifi-issue/td-p/2204964

Spectrum 400/20. I get 478/23 from a wired connection.
329 Mbps down, 16.1 Mbps up @ 5 GHz on a 300/15 plan

Paying for 1 gig UP and DOWN. Ethernet PC I get ~900 UP/DOWN. Wifi on an iPhone 12 Pro Max I get ~500+ UP/DOWN. Other laptops I get similar numbers as the iPhone.
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.
2. Confirm you are on the latest version of ur routers firmware.

My current connection. I'm less than 4 ft. from my router.
I have a Google Nest WiFi with three mesh APs. Google automatically updates, so mine has the latest firmware.
The Google Nest WiFi is not WiFi 6e.

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 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.
