I was at Verizon the other day playing around with their LTE phones and running speed test. The Razr and Nexus were both getting around 25-30Mbit/s and the Rezound sitting next to it was getting 40-45Mb/s. All were full bars on LTE and wifi was off. Just wondering how one phones connection speed could be almost twice that of anothers in the same location on the same network.
a 2 times difference is huge.
the internet and or cell location might have got busy when running the second test
interference with other phone right next to it might have slowed the slower phone.
Hi guys,
Never really noticed before, but running tests on both Wifi bands on both my nexus 5 and nexus 7 reveals the nexus 5 to be almost a third slower than the nexus 7!
Consistent d/l speed on nexus 5: 10-16mbps
Consistent d/l speed on nexus 7: 45-55mbps
I have fibre optic broadband at around 65mbps.
I even get higher on 4G (UK) reaching around 30mbps.
I've tried both bands at home and both yield the same, slower speeds on my nexus 5.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this might be?
Thanks,
Td
I achieved higher speeds when I set the control channels in my router's settings to the lowest channels possible.
Try upgrading the firmware in your wireless access point.
Rate this thread to express how you think the Huawei Nexus 6P's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
WiFi strength is good...nothing spectacular.
Good wifi.
Works pretty good. Pick it up outside in my car from my parking spot. Not strong but still connected.

Wifi is great here....... @svetius how are you doing Sir.........long time
I don't know if it's my router (I just bought it 2 days before my phone came in) but my download speed is not very good. I have a 50mbps down and 25mbps up, but when I run speedtest I get anywhere from 1-30 down and always 25-30 up (normal). My upload is always fantastic, but down varies greatly. I don't know if it's the router or if it's my phone. In all situations I am less than 10 feet from my router.
Can anyone run speed test on 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands and inform me if they see odd download speeds? By odd I mean jumping up and down a lot.

Couldn't agree less, the wifi reception on this phone is worlds better than my 2014 Moto X, I'm getting 2-3x the bandwidth at the furthest distances in our house.
Substantially better range and throughput than my N6.
Find my wifi is good. No better or worse than all my other devices. Picks up where i expect it to and loose it where i expect it to. Again speed is on par with my other devices
Wifi on 6p is much better - get full 118Mbps download (cable limit) with Nexus 5 typically doing 80Mbps download at same time frame. Connected to router at 585Mbps but I have seen it a 7xxMbps rate to router but effective internet still cable limited.

I also am getting faster WiFi performance by a good amount WHEN I do .. reason saying that is that the results are very variable. I would like to attach a screen print I saved but do not see how.
Great throughout with alright range, wifi drops at less range than my Note 3 and S4. This based off two N6P, first device I returned as the auto rotation was broke.

My WiFi has been significantly better than my s4 so far with better throughput, latency, stability. My home connection is consistently above 500 Mbps.
First image 5ghz, Comcast 105-150mbps depending on time of day. Second image is 2.4ghz
WiFi is infinitely better than my previous phones, and 5ghz AC works better than on the iPhone 6s plus in the same spots. Signal strength on 5ghz AC is always 5-10db weaker than 2.4ghz. Plus, I get my full 90mbps everywhere in my house with 5ghz. 2.4 caps around 50-70 because of no free channels. Huawei did something right with the antennae, because I have no issues ever with signal/speed.
I'm getting lower pings and faster throughput on my 6P than my iMac 5K!
Of course, the position of my iMac may make a difference - but, regardless, that's bloody impressive. Huawei has always been pretty good with antenna design, and the larger size of the 6P presumably also helps?
In a test just now I got 9ms, 7.6 Mbps down, 1.1 Mbps up on my 6P (connection 526Mbps) and on my iMac 19ms, 6.8, 0.8 (connection 527Mbps*).
(* bit odd that one is 526 and the other 527 - maybe a rounding issue as I assume they're fixed increments?)
I'll second that WiFi speeds are noticeably faster than they were on my N6.
I haven't done any actual testing, but the primary thing I've noticed is that transfers to my local server are typically 20-30% faster.

On 5Ghz I got 72.2Mb down and 19.6Mb up on a 72/20 connection, so its running it flat out. This was through the speedtest.net app.
The signal on my 6p is significantly better than my Oneplus one. I tested both where wifi signal is lowest and tested both 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Pings are almost identical.
6p
5 ghz - 64.81 down / 12.19 up
2.4 ghz - 57.91 down /12.25 up
1+1
5 ghz - 30.70 down / 12.22 up
2.4 ghz - 17.30 / 12.16 up
Constantly drops Wifi. Then often forgets networks and even can't see any while scanning.
Does Mate 7 support wifi on the 5GHZ band ?
Yes

what speeds do you get over wifi ?
I have bought an asus pce a56 pci-e card
I got it to work now with 5GHZ but I wonder since I get the same speed does it use a lot more battery with 5GHZ ?
I am the only one in my house that use 5ghz so it is a lot less noise, but I get the same speed with 45 Mbit on both bands, but since it is less noise on the 5ghz it might perform faster, atleast I feel web browsing goes faster unless it is just a placebo effect
I use a tplink wr 841 hp router, connection speed is 5/6 Mbps. in the full coverage area of the router, if I download on PC, i easily get 5/6 Mbps, but in mobile speed is wildly fluctuating, like 0-2-4-5-3-1-5 Mbps.
I use a Galaxy S7 , My brother uses HTC desire 820 (snapdragon 615). I found speed fluctuation on both of the devices,
There is not so much wifi's in my place, I get 3-4 other wifi while searching, then How can i improve my speed ?
