As title says, I can only seem to get 65mpbs out of Wifi N on my XOOM, anybody gotten higher?
The most you're going to be able to get is 72mbps under ideal conditions, as the radio cannot do dual-channel N.
I've seen mine train to 72mbps.
Well I was just reading the spec sheet and it says it does do dual channel and 5GHz too so what am I missing?
Edit: I se that it does MSC7 which is up to 72mbps in the 20mhz and 150 in the 40mhz, no mention in the spec sheet though of whether or not this does 40 or not, although unlikely due to the bluetooth radio it could interfere with. Still, id like it to connect at 72, the router is 2 feet from it.
Pretty poor to only have wifi-n do only 72 ish, nt much better than wifi g.

Well it does do 5ghz, but I'm not sure where you see that it supports dual streams? I'm sitting on top of a triple stream wndr4000 and I connect at 72mbps on the 5ghz band like the other poster. My thinkpad has a link speed of 450mbps
Just read this today at the Motorola owners forum, you may find it useful.
Connecting to Wireless N (Explained)
Hi all,
- Xoom supports 5GHz A & N. - It is true that it can not go to 300Mbps rate. I am not aware of any mobile device that can reach this rate. Please let me know if you know one, that would be interesting data. 72Mbps is in the expected range for best N rate.
What may explain why Xoom would not see your 5GHz A or N network (or only use low rate)? - In WiFi Advanced settings, frequency band setting should be "Auto" or "5GHz only" - Your router should broadcast its SSID. (If another device that was never connected to your router can see it, it means this is ok) - Xoom supports only the main channels in 5GHz band: channels are 36 40 44 48 149 153 157 161. Can you try to set your router to one of those channels? - There has been new requirements from WiFi Alliance: we can not support WEP and WPA-PSK in N-mode. This means that if your router is set in N-only mode (does not support A mode), you should set its security to open or WPA2-PSK. If your router is set in A & N mixed mode and WEP or WPA-PSK, Xoom will not use N rates and max rate will be 54Mbps.
Please let us know if any of the above helps or not.

Hi all,
I have a Netgear N600 router and when I got my tablet on the weekend I couldn't connect to my network, found out that the tablet wasn't seeing my network at all so changed channels from 13 to 2 and it picked it up and connected. The lower channels are fairly congested round me and Wifi Analyser has always suggested moving to the higher numbers which my Galaxy Nexus has no problems connecting to and communicating with.
Is there anything that I can do to enable the higher channels on the Infinity? I'm in HK and there are no regulatory reasons why we can't use the higher channels (I vaguely remember being told that they're off limits in some countries). Is this a hardware or software limitation on the Infinity?
Thanks
I run mine on ch 1 normally but switched to 11 which is highest my Linksys E3200 goes. Ran Speedtest from outside my house (direct path to router through 5 residential drywalls @ ~80 feet) and still hit 10MBps down/1 up which is max for my ADSL. There is one other household on ch 11 about 300 feet from my router. I always check local overlap with netstumbler on my laptop it gives much better results. I can see 3 more networks from netstumbler that WiFi Analyzer doesnt register.
I live in an apartment complex so am surrounded by other people's WiFi networks (about15) and their other electrical devices causing interference, they're fairly well spread across the channels but annoyingly channel 14 seems to be wide open with no overlaps and while my Nexus has no issues, my Asus can't see it so unless I can somehow unlock the upper channels it's going to remain unloved and unused, a real waste.
That sux. Maybe you could help educate everyone in your complex on wifi overlap and power settings to improve everyones lives a little.
I was always suspect of this, but now I have confirmation. Last night I was streaming some live video to my phone in high quality (twitch app, watching starcraft 2). I also have a little bluetooth speaker that I was using. So it turns out, that the video would lag when the bluetooth speaker was connected, but not when the sound was just coming out of the phone speakers (bluetooth antennae still kept on). I tried this back and fourth 4 times, to make sure that it wasn't just a coincidence, and it wasn't.
So now this makes me think, when I'm using a Mogo Pro controller through bluetooth, does this make the multiplayer gaming lag? I have to wonder, because I play Modern Combat 4 multiplayer, and get lag spikes often. I always assumed it was just the ****ty servers, since they drop matches all the time.
NOTE: I have done a search, and only found a couple threads of people complaining about the same thing, but not getting any constructive help. I want to know if this is a defect, a design flaw of the One X, or a design flaw of bluetooth/wifi.
Makes sense. Bluetooth uses 2.4ghz frequency hopping spread spectrum, WiFi uses 2.4ghz wideband transmission... Every so often the Bluetooth signal will overlap with the wirless channel causing interference. If you wanted you could buy a 5ghz wireless router to eliminate the problem.

Oh, interesting. That makes sense. I actually have a dual band N router, is there a way for me to force my HOX to connect with 5ghz only?
EDIT: I am mistaken. I don't have a dual band router. I was looking forward to at least pinning down the problem.

In case you do get a new router, yes you can force 5gHz only. It's under the Wi-Fi advanced menu.

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.

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

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.

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:

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 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.

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.
