wifi 2.4GHz - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

in what speed honor 8 connects to wifi 2.4GHz? mine only at 75 Mbit/s, other devices at 135 Mbit/s
and another question for gsam battery monitor, is working in honor 8 without root? I can't make it work properly

I made a quick google search regarding this.

do you have honor 8? with what speed do you connect to your router (2.4GHz)?

does it also connect at 5ghz?

at 5GHz connects with 390Mbit/s, I use 2.4GHz because I think 5GHz uses more power

it's weird because every other device connects at 135Mbit/s, I am testing it with the devices next to the router

Yes. I just checked it again it connects at 135 Mbit/s.my bad..

It looks like 135 is it's cap (probably because of the modems)

yeh my honor 8 will be here Friday

Congrats, when you get it, can you test the wifi at 2.4Ghz to see if it has the cap at 135Mb/s?!
Thank you

2.4 Ghz is just a bandwidth, within which there is wireless G/N/AC/{whatever}, all of which operate at different speeds (depending upon walls, and other big tall things that might house steel). So you could get from 50Mbs to 600Mbs depending on those things , but more likely lower.
5 Ghz is just another bandwidth with less range, and less pollution in that range, but still has similarities with N/AC etc and all the usual suspects determining if 5Ghz bandwidth will allow 50Mbs or 600Mbs.
This is just general stuff about bands mostly gleaned from my year of ham radio when I was ~13 or so ; . Where I work, we're using 10 year old 2.4Ghz "real" (not just labeled d-link junk) Cisco wifi access points with multiple VLANs and extremely high throughput. They only handle WIFI g. They probably get double what I get at home (~100Mbs) and are completely reliable. I don't know how much faith to put into some bandwidth except that my own experience is that 5Ghz isn't all that hot for home networks.
The other thing:: Gsam not working right: If you're in emui 4.x and you've somehow managed to enable power profiles, then that's your problem. They work like dervishes that want to kill everything including Gsam & other mgmt services. Doesn't matter what you tell them. They do save power but you will never be able to use gsam to tell.
Disable those things and try gsam again. It's what fixed mine.
If you're in emui 5, then disregard the above since power profiles aren't working there and in fact, aren't in the OS GUI for settings yet. In fact, Until you issue the statement involving permissions (see my other post today about gsam) , it can't even really read anything done by another process. It's a 7.0 feature (yikes!)... ;;0
This seems a good writeup (in answer to a similar question about bands for wifi) that I've looked at before:
It's hard to answer the question "What is the max speed of 5GHz in mbps?" in a general sense. In the context of 802.11 (Wi-Fi), "5GHz" is a radio frequency band -- a range of frequencies that you can use for things like Wi-Fi. A range of frequencies doesn't have a performance limit, other than the theoretical Shannon limit, but calculating the Shannon limit requires knowing the signal-to-noise ratio of the transmission, which varies.
So instead, we have to talk about things like the max speed specified for use in the 5GHz band in the latest 802.11 specs (600mbps), or what the latest equipment can do (450mbps), or what your particular AP can do (300mbps), or what's the best rate a cheap client—such as clients that are only 1x1:1, or don't support wide channels (HT40, 40MHz channels), or can't do Short Guard Intervals—can get when connected to your router (150mbps, 130mbps, and 65mbps are the max speeds for clients with certain limitations typical of cheap gear) and what actual throughput you can expect in any of those cases (about 50-60% of the above numbers).
802.11n has provisions for operation up to 600 mbps signaling using APs and clients that have 4 radio chains (supporting 4 spacial streams, sometimes denoted as "4x4:4"), but note that no one has shipped 4x4:4 equipment yet.
In late 2009, 3x3:3, 450mbps 802.11n equipment started hitting the market. Apple's late-2009 refresh of the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule supported that. Apple's "Thunderbolt" refresh of the MacBook Pros and iMacs in spring 2011 also supported that.
Your Netgear WNDR3700 N600 is only a 2x2:2, 300 mbps product, so it's no faster than the earliest draft-N gear from late 2006. But at least it's simultaneous dual-band, which is nice. I think that simultaneous dual-band 2x2:2 gear generally hit the market in 2008.
Also beware that 802.11 has lots of overhead, so the rule of thumb is that your TCP throughput will only be about 50-60% of your signaling rate, and you only get the best signaling rates when you're relatively close to the AP with no interference.
As for Question 2 (Range), you'll be fine. You probably won't get your top signaling rate throughout your apartment, but you'll get decent speeds. Remember to leave all the data rates and technologies enabled on both bands so that your clients can choose the best bands and rates to use for best performance at range. That is, leave b/g/n enabled in 2.4GHz, and leave a/n enabled in 5GHz. Don't be tempted to force either band to "N-only" (or "G-only" or "A-only") because that actually just limits the options for your clients, making them less capable of providing the best rate at range.

thanks for answer
for gsam , after last update when I started it asked for more privileges, like I was root but I'm not root so with adb command that I don't remember now it seems that is fixed
for wifi now I set the router to N only and width 40MHz (2 options 20 and 40) but I don't know why the honor 8 connects at 20MHz and Is the only device doing that, walls and other objects are not the problem, the phone is only 20cm away from router

20 & 40Mhz at whatever (N say), can allow 150Mb/s for a client. All 20 and 40 are are the space between channels within the band. For a lot of concurrent clients all going like nuts, the wider the better, but for one two or three, not a biggie.

PocketNow has reported that the Honor 8 doesn't get the best WiFi reception.

my wifi works fine, i pick up mine about 6 houses down, ill do speedtest in a min

Nexus 5 max wifi speed?

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??
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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.

i believe hardware wise it's 300 mbps for the nexus 5
but there are not that many servers or routers that will give you this.
i test off a gig server for speedtest, not sure what FCC uses.
i have gig fiber and a netgear R7000 router
Just to make sure it's not being overlooked... i'm HOPING you're not saying that you upgraded your wireless router and are expecting to have incredibly fast web browsing, but your internet connection is still 50Mbps....

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.

Wow. Actually 300Mbps from a Nexus 5? What does your Link speed show for your SSID? I don't think I've seen my Nexus 5 with a Link speed over 150Mbps, and this is on a 5GHz Access Point that my notebook connects to at 300Mbps.

Yes, I double checked, and no I didn't just just upgraded my router, previously I had 30 mbps (theorically) and now I have 100 mbps (theorically) , I upgraded my internet plan and I got a new modem/router (the company sent the modem, otherwise I would have not been able to use the new speed) , I did a couple of tests with my laptop and with my phone, I sat next to the router and I got around 80 mbps with the laptop and around 50 mbps with my phone, a pretty big difference

Haven't heard of that bug. URL?
I just ran speedtest on my Comcast Business line ... it's suppose to be a 50/24mbps line. I got 56.10 down on the first try and 58.9 on the second. I don't think the N5 or Android are the issue with this fellows tests.
I've recently upgraded to 120Mbps and can't get higher than 60Mbps on either my Nexus 5 or 7 (2013) but my Macbook Pro reaches 120Mbps no problem. All on the same router and at 5Ghz (not tested at the same time, I should add!) so I don't know what's going on.

what do you mean with "it's a 1x1 radio"? If I have a router which has both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz, how does it decide which band will it work with?

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.
http://www.merunetworks.com/products/technology/80211ac/
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'm under the impression that Modem/Routers (Modem with routers 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:

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.

Wifi showing 1Mbps connection speed

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.

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.

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.

Cause I am desperate. I tried now to do the Wifi tether from my wife's new mobile Lenovo vibe X2 the phones were close to each other and still 1Mbps Crap
Did test with my router: When I was about 5 meters away I got 26Mbps. I got closer to router and it drops back to 1-2 Mbps. So really do not know what is happening crap.

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.

Terrible wifi downlink speed over 5GHz

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.

Really slow and spotty wifi?

Will I get OTA updates if I don't put a SIM in? I'm on C432B126 right now and I think the seller that installed it for me messed it up, I'm not getting supercharge or fast charge with the included charger just normal charging and wifi has been really slow and spotty, I've tried everything to fix the wifi issues but it's still the same, can someone shed some light on this, thanks.

I am assuming you are using 5ghz wifi. Some phones have issues with high channel >48 5ghz wifi (my lg v20, mi max and the mate9). If you use 2.4ghz only the wifi will improve. However, if you want to use 5ghz goto your router wifi channel settings and set to either channel 36 or 48. Just note the lower channels have poorer wall penetration compared to channel 150+. If you got a large house consider a solution like Google wifi. If you are still getting very poor wifi, then you may have a faulty phone (dislodged antennae maybe).
To get supercharging you will need to use the original charger + CABLE.
Try using the ampere app to see how fast your phone is charging. Anything over 2 amps I would say it is good enough unless you are in a hurry.

Then take to a service centre, probably a faulty charging port/electronics and dislodged wifi antennae.
The WiFi on the Mate 9 is the best I've ever used.
I'm sitting in my car outside the house to send this, and I've never been able to do that with any other phone.
Have to disagree about 5G channels. The higher frequencies are absorbed more by building materials. That's why 5G generally covers less than 2G. If anyone finds the top channels are better than the lower ones it will be due to antenna variations in the router or the handset.

I've heard Huawei phones in general have great signal as well, perhaps I just got a bad unit. I'm sending mine back for an exchange since it'd really be an excellent phone without these two issues.
I had been thinking of adding a WiFi extender to provide coverage when I'm working in the garage. I don't need to now - the Mate 9 works fine in there.
Having a similar problem and I'm thinking it's an incompatibility issue with my Asus N55U. Every other device in the house connects at full 300mbit over 5ghz and 150mbit at 2.4ghz to my modem but my Mate 9 maxed out at 72mbit over 2.4ghz and 150mbit over 5ghz.
The big problem is the 5ghz wifi drops to 7mbit within a few seconds, doesn't matter where in the house I am, yet it always says excellent signal. 2.4ghz stays at 72mbit but my internet is 100mbit fibre so it's still not ideal.
I've tried different 5ghz channels (right now on 40), tried N-only, 20 and 40mhz, changing wifi names, changing security type and factory resetting the phone. Nothing has worked, I get an intermittent 50KB/s to 400KB/s from the phone at 5ghz, yet I connect my laptop to the 5ghz, get a solid 300mbit and download at 11MB/s with the same distance to the router.
Going to purchase a new router and hopefully this will resolve the issue otherwise I'll be sending the phone back.
I had the same problem (about wifi) I did lots of test with my mate 9 , 2 p9lite and my ipod 5g just my mate 9 had low results sometimes half download and upload than the other devices and always a really high ping 3 or 4 times more than the other devices. I wrote to amazon and also to huawei for describe this problem and they decided to replace it so I will receive the new one tomorrow. Them said nobody report this issue about a software error so they think this is an hardware factory problem. Hope you can solve it asap like me

Hi just wondering if your replacement mate 9 was any different as far as Wi-Fi goes compared to the one you posted the problems about. I have 2 mate 9's with similar symptoms (10 times higher ping and 3-4 times slower transfer speeds compared to laptops and other Wireless A/C phones), so just trying to figure out whether they are all going to have this problem or if I happen to have defective units that would be fixed by replacement.

I ended up buying a Linksys WRT1900ACS router, the Mate 9 now connects at 433Mbit to that even though my other devices connect at near 900Mbit. Still, my internet connection is only 100Mbit so 433Mbit is fine, and certainly better than 7Mbit.
But in case you were wondering the Oreo update didn't fix the issue, so I'm guessing it's a hardware issue. Haven't really bothered investigating it further after getting the new router.

Question S22 Ultra (US Version) slow WiFi speeds

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.

Ok good info. Is your backhaul from the mesh APs to your router via wired or wireless connection?

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

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.

Curious if anyone else has tested their S22 Ulta network speed using a USB to ethernet adapter.
Thank you,
Ryan

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.
