After being connected to WiFi for a while the wifi speeds drop to less than a quarter of their normal speeds, e.g. at home 6 Mbps drops to 1.4 Mbps. It is the same at work connecting to an enterprise level AP (although speed drop is 30 Mbps to about 5 so less of a problem).
I know it is device related as other devices tested at the same time are at the right speed.
Toggling WiFi off then on again returns everything to normal speed. Anyone else?
It's like it reverts to power saving mode. Didn't have this problem with my 4 or current N7.

I haven't had your issue and I've been speed testing here and there all day.
Have you tried turning off wifi optimization under wifi/options?
I have turned that off now and rebooted. I turned this off the other day without rebooting and there was no difference but will see how this goes.
Thanks.

Made no difference. Got reduced speeds again.

I had similar problems when my friend connected a Blackberry Z10 to my router, constantly dropping out after about half an hour of connection, so try this:
I found that my at the time SGS2, could only connect in 'g' mode, whereas her BB was connecting in 'n'. I believe this was confusing the crappy B.T. router I have, so I changed the settings of the router to only accept 'g' connections. Problem solved for me.
Worth a try anyway. Especially if the other devices connecting to your router are a bit older and only use a 'g' connection.

There are no drops in WiFi, it just slows. All my other devices are N too.

Odd, I don't have this problem. The wifi a runs at full speed even in low signal areas. Maybe it's something to do with the router?

I have this on my home WiFi with both the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5. Both are connected to 5GHz 802.11n on a dual-band Netgear N600/WNDR3700.
Performing a test just after boot, the speeds reported by Ookla's speed test app are:
Nexus 4: 46Mbps dl / 12Mbps ul
Nexus 5: 82Mbps dl / 12Mbps ul
After some period of time, the results (recalling from memory) change to:
Nexus 4: 2Mbps dl / 11Mbps ul
Nexus 5: 2Mbps dl / 11Mbps ul
If I switch off WiFi and then switch it back on again, each phone will then return to its previous higher speeds.
Never have figured out exactly what triggers the slow-down; my best guess is that it's something to do with the phone going into deep sleep, or perhaps related to power-saving functions on the router.
A Linux-based laptop is connected to the same AP and I don't notice any issue with that. Don't recall the Nexus 7 having any issues either (though that can only connect to the 2.4GHz radio).
I didn't notice this on my N4, but I never checked, and in retrospect I remember having some problems streaming video when you normally would think the connection would be OK. Will give Google a call.
The problem exists on my home router, an access point I also have in the house (different manufacturer) and at work (different again).
Have tried changing to 2.4 GHz only but no luck.
Thanks.

People had EXACTLY the same problem when Nexus 10 just came out.
If interested here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124485
Basically, google had to release a fix to solve this problem.
I'm noticing slow WiFi as well on my Nexus 5, with Netgear APs at home.
Also the 4G is weird - here in the UK, upload remains strong but download is slower than other phones running the same speedtest from the same location and a fair bit slower.
Will hold off judgement for now though.
Got an ASUS router at work so gonna test that.
It will not see the 5GHZ band on my Netgear WNDR4500 at all though - then again neither will my Nexus 7 2013
(My Nexus 4 does see the 5GHZ band SSID however then again probably due to different WiFi chipset or something)

Yeah been testing 4G on Vodafone today vs an iPhone 5S - getting consistently slower download speeds in the same locations on the same speedtest servers.
Has anyone else tried using the N5 in and around London on a 10mhz 800 band network (so basically Vodafone or O2)
Also is the 5Ghz 20mhz ? I seem to be getting 70mbit download on a 1000mbit connection
5ghz works on an ASUS router but seems to just be completely absent on Netgear routers (sure its a 20/40/Auto/Band setting somewhere)
Having called Google and tried the suggest factory reset, problem persists so will call again and likely try a replacement.

i have the same problem. it also affects LTE. both cut down by a third or so after some unknown amount of time.
I don't have access to LTE, so can't comment there. I will be getting a replacement tomorrow and will report back then if it is fixed.
Also keen to see if the battery is any better in the replacement. Reports seem to vary wildly on these forums and in reviews but my finding is that the battery is no better then the N4 battery in any way.

Have y'all had Android devices in the past? As in, have y'all had Google accounts to which you've backed up your data (e.g. WiFi credentials) that automatically were transferred over to your new device?
I ask this, because I had to do a factory reset and prevented Google from backing up my data and preventing automatic restore (e.g. I unchecked "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" before I did a factory reset).
There seems to be an issue where the restored WiFi settings don't sit well with the new device, and you have to manually input your WiFi credentials and have the Nexus 5 configure it from anew. It may also help with slow connection speeds and connection issues in general since I found that after I did this, my connection strength increased (qualitatively; I haven't done quantitative analysis) and the range at which it still connects to WiFi has increased.
Here are some links to the issue that I, personally, have run into, but near the end of the second issue tracker, someone has ADB commands that essentially accomplish the same thing (i.e. wiping all stored WiFi data)
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58230
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61945
Might be something to try before you send it into RMA (since it will take like, 2-3 weeks to get the replacement phone, and even then it sounds like this is a purely software issue).
EDIT: Note, that unchecking the "Backup data" and "Automatic restore" (I think doing the former will automatically grey out the Automatic restore option anyways) means you will have to reinstall all your applications manually one by one. This is probably easier if you just log onto a computer and have Google Play in a browser to download it to your device.
Furthermore, my specific issue didn't lay with slow WiFi speeds, but rather with the inability for the Nexus 5 to automatically reconnect to a WiFi router once it exited and reentered range. It was also unable to manually connect to the router unless I cycled WiFi or Airplane mode (or reboot the phone).

I always choose not to restore my backed up settings to a new device, and so manually create the WiFi connections. Doesn't appear to make any difference in my case.

I had a similar question, but I just want to know why I see 72 Mb/s connection in the info, instead of 150 or 300? Asus RT-N66U with Merlin firmware, 802.11n only, 40MHz bandwidth (but also tried 20/40MHz). All computers show 150/270/300 (I know these are just theoretical). My wireless desktop can transfer a file at 10MB/s...the N5 (and a 2012 N7, 2013 N7, GNex, and Nexus S) do about 2MB/s.
I'm having exactly the same issues as t2002 and TheFluffyOne - Just after booting I'll get >10mbps dl but after an hour or two if I run the speedtest app again it will have slowed down to <2mbps. It's horribly frustrating, hopefully it's just a software issue and will be patched soon.
So when connected to wifi using our home network, I get 19-20 download and 6 upload on my nexus from the speed test. But I when I do it on my laptop, I get 35 and 6. It seems like it doesn't want to go above 20. Any ideas?
hardware restrictions...
Every phone has its network restrictions as its hardware is negligible in front of pcs..
The networks max. speed that can be used on android is 3.6 MBps to 30 MBps as a range...
Hence this could be d reason...:silly:

It seems other people are getting up to 50 mb on their Nexus 5...it seems quite odd to be honest.
Is your Laptop on wireless or LAN, generally mobile devices have wifi powersaving mode
such as here
1st one is my laptop
2nd one is my nexus 7 1st gen and both show the same issues you listed
to solve this change the wifi channel mode to 2.4Ghz if your router is on 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz if its on 5

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.

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.
I'm having some serious issues with my 5GHz connection on my brand new Honor 8. 2.4GHz works just fine, getting around 40Mbps which is expected for 2.4, but sometimes on 5GHz I'm not even getting 1Mbps down... However, the upload speed is mostly fine.
I have a 100/10 connection btw. Asus rt n56u router with padavan firmware. Not experiencing this issue with any other devices. I have tried changing channels on the router, and the bandwith to 20/40 only but it didn't make any difference.
What might be wrong? I appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.

Yes, multiple times, unfortunately it didn't make any difference.
However I noticed something interesting now, it only seems to suck in my room. When I went to the kitchen I was getting around 90Mbps. Can it simply be interference? But what else can there be in my specific room that operates at the same frequency? And why is only the downlink bad, and why isn't it happening to any other devices? It seems weird to me...

Use wifi analyser to check issues. Sometimes when router is set to auto channel, it may setup the connection in such a way of excellent short distance data burst but medium/long distance signal loss. Check for channel overlap.
Also 5Ghz is by nature a closer range frequency, compared to 2.4Ghz.
First you must rule out phone problem: test with other network and/or router at 5Ghz. Even using different wifi equipments doesn't mean a thing. Same chipset can have different implementations and network antenna.
Its just the range of the 5GHz signal. The maximum usable range of 5 GHz Wi-Fi is 3m and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is 12m. Thats all its nothing to do with your device. Walls etc will reduce that even further.
Max 5ghz speed only 433Mbps
Anyone know a way to get more? My router is capable of much higher speeds. On my Nexus 6P I got around 800+

1. install WiFi analyzer app and see what channels are being used most by 5GHz networks. If is set to automatic, manually set your 5 ghz network to an unused channel (try using the lower 5GHz channels instead of the upper ones)
2. there's an existing bug in Android where connecting to some IPv6 routers makes data lag. Try turning off IPv6 or at least IPv6 broadcasting on your router.
3. make sure your router firmware is up to date.

Unfortunately after further research last night I'm afraid this is simply a limitation of the of the wifi chip on the phone itself. I use wifi analyzer often and always keep my firmware up to date. I've tried adjusting various settings, even using other Wireless AC routers. 433 is the highest the phone will go. Perhaps Huawei can push an update to remedy the situation.
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.

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.

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.
