Has anyone been able to exceed wireless n speed of 65 Mbps on their Captivate?
My computer reaches speeds of 135 Mbps but with my captivate right next to the router, I don't see anything above 65 Mbps.
Edit: I'm just using the speed it tells you when you click settings->wireless and network->wifi then I just tap the SSID and look under speed.
Also I set my router to only use the 40mhz band. I just want to know if even 1 person has seen anything over 65 Mbps, so that I know whether it the phone or the router.

Dumb ? Is your computer using dual-band?
Edit: also, the Cap might be operating in 20mhz bands intead of 20/40... (nasty technical details)
How did you test this? ALso usiong no encryption helps....
Also I didn't know captivate have N band 2.4?
EDIT:
a/b/g/n dual spectrum capable.
My guess? driver.

I am thinking the driver has some issues in general.
Random loss of connectivity and need to disable enable wireless to get connectivity back.
Slow 802.1x connection speeds (11mbps max from what I can tell)
N only connects on 2.4Ghz band and not 5Ghz.
So, yeah, my guess is driver is gimped a bit.
I have no issues with Wifi. BTW, iPhone 4 also uses only 2.4 Ghz band for "n". As I understand, 5 Ghz would require additional antenna.
Also get max of 65 Mbps
Was disappointed when I saw my Captivate which is advertised as having wireless N just barely connects above wireless G speeds. Both laptops easily gets 130Mbps from the same router.
N speeds on a 20MHz band will be 65Mbs. Your laptop and desktop most likely have a 40Mhz bandwidth antennae which allow you to get up to 135Mbs. The Captivate has an antennae that will only work on the 20MHz band which is why you only see a max of 65Mbs. I remember reading about why this is and I can't find the documentation any more.
Anyway, while this does seem "barely higher than G speeds" it's actually a big difference. The wireless N standard added the function of Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna's which increases the signal throughput. The wireless G standard does not have MIMO function in it. The increased speeds and the addition of MIMO antenna's makes the Captivate's N wireless much faster than a G wireless even though the Mbs are close together.

And, just to answer it in case someone is thinking it .....
Having your wireless on 5GHz vs 2.4GHz will not increase your Captivate speeds above 65Mbs. This refers to the frequency of the signal which is different from the signal bandwidth. The 5GHz range was added with wireless N to avoid interference from other 2.4 MHz devices such as wireless keyboards, wireless mice, home telephones (people still have these?), wireless gaming controllers, etc.
While 5GHz is nice, as it is a separate frequency to help avoid interference, it actually has a shorter broadcast distance since it's a higher frequency. It will also have a harder time broadcasting through walls and other solid objects since it's a higher frequency.

Good information
Thanks for the information. Am always much happier once I have been given an explanation to a question.
With some of the leaked GB 2.3.x builds, I have gotten 72 mbps when my router is set to N only mode, locked to 40 Mhz width, WMM enabled, WPA2 personal "AES only" encryption, with all options for "neighborly" radio turned off, and standing within 6ft of the router.
65 mbps was the highest I ever got on CM7 or Froyo and even the GB builds don't hold at 72 mbps for long.
My Captivate does connect to 2.4 Ghz with 40 Mhz width. 5 Ghz won't work though.
Ya my internet doesn't go over 2 mbs. 65 would be a dream.

Humm, I've never gotten anything higher than 65Mbps even on 5Ghz. However I've never tried it on 40Mhz width as I thought it wouldn't work. I'll have to test this out and see.

Hi there. Im so curious. Why do I have now everytime less than 150 Kbps download with 3G Only On and with +600 Kbps upload???
What I have, stock MyTouch 3G Slide, T-Mobile Prepaid DayPass, and live near Edison Ave., Sacramento, CA, 95821.
I used the speed test app from speedtest.net and I got speeds throughout the day from 20 Kbps to 150 Kbps download and +600 Kbps upload. When I came home at around 4:40pm I got 700 Kbps download on 3G and 700 Kbps upload. Also when I have slow speeds, I run the speed test and it bursts to about 350 Kbps and then falls to about 100 Kbps for less than 3 seconds, then goes to upload and it bursts and stays at 700 Kbps. Huh?
Do I live near a bad cell tower? Do I need to flash a new radio?
Thank you!
Hey guys, just did some Wifi testing on my phone, getting some really bad results. Wondering if you guys are getting similar results as I am. I'm using speedtest site on my home computer and speedtest app for my phone. Both the computer and phone are sitting next to the router, no more than 1 foot away.
Just to note, I use Verizon FIOS as my home connection.
Computer results are almost identical after numerous tries, numbers don't differ.
29-31 Mbps down
23-25 Mbps up
Ping: 9-11ms
Now the phone through wifi at the same distance.
11.74 Mbps down
4.2 Mbps up
ping: 58ms
15.81 Mbps down
1.9 Mbps up
ping: 63
11.72 Mbps down
1.64 Mbps up
ping: 175
8.27 mbps down
1.63 mbps up
ping: 166
13.41 mbps down
0.75 mbps up
ping 80
and it just keeps going inconsistent at that rate, the upload especially, never seems to be able to get past 5 mbps on Wifi.
4g speed is fine though at about 12 mbps down and 5 mbps up at 50-80 ping.
I still have my Droid INC so i'm testing the wifi on that as well, getting a lot better speed at about 20 mpbs down, 12 up.
Anyone experiencing similar results or is my charge just defective.
My wifi is terrible on this device. I will have full wifi service in my livingroom with all of my devices (I use an airport extreme wireless router) and cant even get wifi at the same spot with my charge...its pretty disappointing. Other devices include my thunderbolt, incredible, iphone, xoom, ipad, and ipod touch...not to mention my laptop...idk if its the EE4 radio or what the hell would cause this. I've tried different kernels with no luck at all...
I've noticed the WiFi signal is weak when I first unlock the phone, but then after a minute of use, it gains strength. Maybe its a battery saver thing?
Hello Team -
Here are some of the screenshots for Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra using T-Mobile
Highest and Lowest i got so far
Only getting H+ but so far so good no lags or buffering while streaming
Thank you
Nice! If I could consistently get speeds like that I would be happy.
I consistently get anywhere between 0.6 Mbps to 14 Mbps down on H+ depending on what test server and network congestion / "mood".
As long as I reign in my expectations its not too bad. Should be sufficient for most "compressed" 720p content on YouTube and or the 480p "streamlined" BingeOn stuff
So i got a fiber DSL connection with a 20 mbps download and 5 mbps upload. Whenever i do a speed test either on my phone or pc i get the following speeds:
PC: 100 mbps down and 90 mbps up
Phones:45 to 50 mbps down and 50 mbps upload
I searched on google but couldn't find any answers, hope i get information here. Thanks in advance.
just a guess
Maybe your getting megabits and megabytes mixed up
