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.

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?
My tf700 is maxing out at 1.2Mbps transfer speed across the LAN, from a wired PC through a router to the tf700 which is the only wifi device in the house.
It takes about 10 minutes to transfer 1gb. Is this normal speed? What kind of speed does your tf700 get across the LAN (not internet)
Mine is also poor, and have a 450mbps, dual band router, and even next to it wirelessly transferring to and from the pcs is slooow. Not sure why.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app

Windows 7 laptop connected to wifi at 130Mbps
transfer rate for 1.29 GB file is 2.15 MB/second
i'm using wifi file transfer pro and i get speeds between 3-5MByte/s when sitting right next to the router and when transferring files from the external sdcard (class 10). it says link speed 65mbit.

Large files, to/from internal memory on TF700, to/from my NAS on wired 1 Gbps LAN, wifi signal strength about -30 to -40 dBm:
FTP upload from TF700 to NAS: 4-5MB/s (32-40Mbps), download a little slower
SMB/CIFS: 3-4 MB/s
I consistently get 2MBps - 3MBps. these are bytes not bits. its fast but i remember my transformer prime used to copy at 6-8MBps but this infinity wont go higher then 3MBps no matter what i use to transfer. Sad really. the older model was so much better at file transfers.
Tweaked my wifi router settings and increased my transfer speeds to 6+ MB/s on the laptop and 2.8 MB/s on the tablet. Sure would like to see the tablet match the laptop speed.
If using internal memory I think part of the limitation is the write speed of the flash. It's notoriously an issue slowing things down as far as I know.

Hi guys,
I have been trying to watch HD video files from my media server over my wireless network on my Note 10.1. However, no matter what I use it just lags and stutters. The files play when put on an SD card which means it is related to the buffer speed.
Surely it isn't too much to ask for the note 10.1 to be able to stream a film wirelessly stutter free or am I expecting too much?
Thanks
How congested is your network, and what frequency band? Also, which player are you using?
I switched to 5GHz "N" WiFi (as the 2.4GHz band at home and work is just a huge mess) and am using the "Dice" (and "MX") players and I can stream MPEG/H.264 videos with no interruptions.
One thing to consider is if the initial connection is judged to be fast by the player, it might decide to not need to buffer that much, which leads to slowdowns once the WiFi thruput decreases.
It is on the 5Ghz band on my new BT Homehub router. Would I be better buying a separate wireless router and connect it up?
The only other things which use wireless are 2 mobile phones. The computers are wired.
Currently I have shows working okay for 11 minutes and then they slow and stutter. Never to work again! Very frustrating unfortunately.
There IS the possibility your media server might be an issue- I have a couple of PogoPlugs that I use for this purpose, and they work well both over 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

Yes mate my note is running stock. As for QoS, I am unsure. Quite sure the router is basic to be honest but given that I can stream to laptops it leads me to believe that my tablet is the problem.

Kinda/sorta- the reason I'd asked about being stock or not is that I suspect the WiFi in stock devices isn't optimized for streaming but more for surfing (there's a slight difference in the way packets are handled between those two modes) and I've got a kernel that uses a different TCP "backoff" setup and I'd wanted you to try that.

Have you check your wifi signal with an app like Wifi Analyzer to see if you have other devices crowding the channel that you are trying to use. You may be amazed at what you find.

He's on 5GHz, though- while not impossible, it's unlikely it's a channel-crowding issue.

You have to start some place and this would be my first step in trouble shooting any WiFi issue.
Also........ The higher the frequency of a wireless signal, the shorter its range. Thus, 2.4 GHz networks cover a substantially larger range than 5 GHz wireless networks. In particular, the higher frequency wireless signals of 5 GHz networks do not penetrate solid objects nearly as well as do 2.4 GHz signals so 5 GHz hardware offers a few advantages over 2.4 GHz hardware, but in practice, 2.4 GHz is usually the better choice for home and other wireless local networks
Higher frequency networks are not necessarily superior to lower frequency ones, its a fact.

Well the lower-penetration disadvantage of 5GHz is offset greatly by the higher possible bandwidth and lower interference rates- but if his 5GHz network is 802.11n, perhaps he's got a mesh setup going on that can help alleviate some of that (the OP's gotta love how we're talking about him like he's not right here, too ).
But I can easily help OP determine if the issue is band-related thruput- can he download one of the movie files? Do that while timing the download, and see what kind of effective bitrate he's getting (I'd also suggest running the Ookla "SpeedTest" app).
What's the theorical max speed the Nexus 5 can reach while using wifi? I recently upgraded my wifi speed to 100 mbs but I was shocked to see that the maximum speed that speed test on the Nexus shows is 50 mbps, all speedtest apps available on the store max at 50, is 50 mbps the maximum speed for phones right now??

150Mbps is the max theoretical.
It's a 1x1 radio so 75Mbps x 2 (40Mhz).
This is more likely in the 5Ghz range instead of the 2.4Ghz one.

router might be limited to 50 mbps
Anandtech clocked it at an average 136Mbps and had some interesting things to say about the WiFi antenna.
It’s interesting to me that both the Note 3 and Nexus 5 pack the same combo, and end up having just about the same throughput, an average of 135 Mbps when attached with the best MCS, with very brief spikes to just below 300 Mbps. Oddly enough one thing I noticed is that touch input seems to be blocked entirely on the Nexus 5 until iPerf is quit. I’m not sure what’s going on here when the WiFi link is completely saturated, but it seems that touch response becomes very slow. I have no issues with range or connection stability on the Nexus 5, and I’ll also note that the device doesn’t antenna share, but rather has a discrete antenna for WLAN/BT.

The WIFI chip, because of size constraints was limited to how many streams it can handle since it does other duties too (I think Bluetooth and maybe others). The older phones (Nexus 4 and others) also had 1x1 spatial streams but were limited to 20mhz so that's why their max was 75Mbps (or some 72Mbps which some routers will show). The Nexus 5 has a 40mhz chip so it can link at faster rates. Using iPerf I think doesn' send TCP ACKs so that's why they were able to get 136Mbps which is close to the theoretical 150Mbps (or 144Mbps). In the real world however you wont get anything close to that as the internet works on TCP so it has to ACKnowledge every transmission which slows down reception of new data.
1x1 is relating to the spatial streams that a chip can handle..
In order to send faster speeds the device sends and receives streams at the same time. This is why new routers have 3 physical antennas, each connected to a radio (those are 3x3 ones).
In the N spec, each radio can send at a max of 75Mbps using 20Mhz of bandwidth. When you double that to 40Mhz you get 150Mbps. This is why 3x3 routers can do 450Mbps (vs 300Mbps).
The AC routers use the same layout (of 3x3) but because of their better tech (encoding, compression and such) they can put more information within the same bandwidth (20, 40Mhz) and they can use more of it as well since 802.11AC is in the 5Ghz range. They can then use 80Mhz channels as well.
So for AC per spatial stream is about 86Mbps per 20mhz.
So for AC you get 3x3 x 80mhz = 1.3Gbps (1.286Gbps) or only 600Mbps for 40mhz wide channel.

There's a chart on that page which breaks it down a bit more as well as more info.
-------------------------
As for which it decides to use that depends on a few things.
- If you have the same SSID/Password on both then it will use the stronger signal
- IF you have different ones then it will use whichever you specify till it can't anymore then it will jump onto the next known connection (that is if you have both saved)
- If you only specify 1 frequency to use then it will use that

Your 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies on the router can have 2 different SSIDs or the same. Most people use different ones as a way to identify them but also doesn't allow roaming between them since the device will see it as a separate network.

I did the "quick setup" and i'm completely sure I just set up a password , so I should have only "one network" I did a test with my nexus 5 and set it to receive only 5 ghz signals, and it didn't find my network, then I set it to search just for 2.4 ghz networks and it found mine, I'm guessing that means only 2.4 ghz is working? I'll attach a screenshot of the setup of my modem/router , since there are THICK walls on my apartment , 2.4 ghz would be ideal for me right since it can penetrate objects better , the situation with me is that my walls are very thick but I'm relatively close to the modem/router, around 20 meters I would say.
I'm really desperate, I don't know what to do anymore, I currently have a Router/Modem (a router that includes a modem) I was thinking of buying a new and good router but how would I connect it to the Router/Modem , it doesn't have a WAN port, only LAN ports or maybe I should upgrade my Modem/Router , what would you recommend? To have a Router/Modem or a Modem + a Router? I'm under the impression that Routers/Modem (Router with modem included) don't have the best signal strength , since the antennas are on the inside, unlike a modem like the Asus RT-AC68U which has three antennas on the outside! :laugh:
To clarify, speedtest (like speedtest.net) measures your internet speed which is controlled mostly in part by your ISP. Typically your internal network speeds (Wifi or hard wired) are much greater then your ISP speeds. Your Wifi connection speeds only matter for transferring files across your own network assuming your Wifi connection is faster than your ISP (which it likely is).
The Nexus 5 supports Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4G/5G) 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. My home network has a 5Ghz N SSID running at 450mbps and the Nexus claims to connect at that speed, however my Comcast internet is 25mbps so an app like speedtest shows 25mbps. I havent tested to confirm my Nexus can pull 450mbps across the network but i could try it.
Again, what really matters is your internet speed and that your router is at least that fast. Most home internet is well below 100mbps on average and even dirt cheap N routers can hit 150mbps and up. Hardware wise the Nexus can connect to N 2.4/5Ghz and AC 2.4/5Ghz, so id imagine it should be fine for a long time.

I have the ASUS RT-N65U which has no external antenna and i get a signal in my apt complexes parking lot through about 3 cinder block walls at a distance of about 50-100 yards. Granted at that point its a weak signal but i cant imagine it having an issue in anything other then a mansion. Best router ive ever owned, highly recommend Asus.
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.
