WIFI RANGE - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Hey All,
I just upgraded from NOTE 9 to NOTE 20. I keep my router in my office and its a bit of a distance from my bedroom (On purpose for health reasons). My Note 9 could always get 1-2 bars in my bedroom but my NOTE 20 is only getting 1 bar and sometimes loses the connection. This is for two different 2.4 ghz networks that I run in my house.
Is there anything we can do boost our NOTE 20 Ultra WIFI range, perhaps a Build Prop tweak or something else? My N986B is rooted with Dr Ketan ROM and is running like a champ by the way~~~

Hello,
Strange because I also have the two devices and they are the same in the wifi signal. Are the channels for both networks configured or are they in auto mode?

Internet speed comparison

Good day everyone,
I ran the fast.com test 10 times (on the same wifi network) on my Honor view 10 and my Google pixel 2XL.
On my pixel I can easily surpass 200Mbps everytime but with my view 10, it never reaches 5Mbps.
Anyone else facing the same issue?
Update: Tried on another Wifi connection and now getting 250Mbps on the pixel and no more than 20 Mbps on the view 10
No.. This is typical internet speeds here as it changes with tower load.
On wifi I've achieved the upper limit of connection speed..30 to 40 mbs
I've not tested on connections over 50mbs.
Sounds to me maybe a confirmation setting not right?
And for those saying the l09 don't get lte service in America...WRONG!

Possible to disable Band 4 on unrooted Verizon Pixel?

Recently I've started to experience exponential increase in dropped signal/phone rebooting/radio cycling on/off. It looks like my home is at the edge of verizon's band 4 coverage. They must have switched on or changed tower config over the past couple months, as that's when it started.
Essentially, my pixel is trying to connect to band 4, which is around -105 to -115 dBm. As a result, signal drops frequently. It'll connect to band 13 sometimes, which is great at -85 to -95 dBm. The thing is, seems like band 4 has priority, as the phone constantly drops the more stable band 13 connection in search of band 4.
Speedtest shows no benefit to me the enduser, as I am getting around 100/18 connection on both band 4 and 13. It's gotten to the point where this would happen every couple minutes, making the phone unusable.
Staying on wifi solves the data issue, but that's not ideal. And I still see the radio cycling on/off trying to search for signal even on wifi, which means I could potentially lose calls and texts.
Any suggestions on how to temp disable band 4, or at least prioritize band 13 over it? Thanks!

[Q] Note 10 Plus - Wifi Issues

So I have a brand new Note Plus that in two locations will connect to wifi, but I am experiencing significant packet loss (30-70%) if I ping from my phone to the router. Both locations use a Cambium E410 Wireless Access Point. I have taken it to 2 other places and experience no wireless issues.. I was trying to see if it was a 2.4 or 5Ghz issue potentially, but I can't see where in this version of android to force the Note to use 5Ghz vs 2.4ghz. Also trying to determine what other troubleshooting I could perform...
I have to problem with Wifi. Realy bad reception and when BT is on it's even worse. ???

Is the router wireless too? Then switch off the access point and try to connect to the router directly and check. For the best speeds, every wireless access point should be connected to the router with an Ethernet cable. Put all the above - both wireless access points and the router - all on the same ssid and password but different channels so they don't step on each other (which might also be the problem). Then, your devices will automatically connect to the one with the strongest signal and not even know or care about it. You will have to set the channels in use rather than leaving the devices on "auto". You can use "WiFi Analyzer" and "WiFi Tool" - both free downloads on the play store. Don't hide the ssid's - unless it is all working flawlessly - later .

Yes you are right, note 9 the range is better than note 10 plus, this is what disappointed me most.
The rest is ok, I had read note 10 only catch the signal is strong, if its weak it doesn't show in WiFi scanning.
Hope they can fix this.

Question Tencent ROG 5 slow connectivity - UK?

I received my Tencent ROG 5 the other day (12gb / 256gb varient) and I am having a terrible experience with it in regards to wifi / 4G connectivity
My provider is Sky Mobile (O2) and I am connecting to band 20 towers with full strength. But speeds are very slow, lucky if they peak over 2mbps, sometimes they don't even break 1mbps. Yet if I move the simcard back into my old Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite or even my Galaxy S7 they connect no problem and speeds are 15mbps+
I am also having the same issue on wifi, I have tried it on various routers at various locations with the connection ranging from 20mbps - 300mbps yet the ROG 5 won't peak above 4 - 5mbps at the most. Yet other phones / tablets etc can hit the full speeds fine.
I have upgraded the phone to WW_18.0840.2103.26 just to see if that made any difference but it's not helped. The phone only arrived 4 - 5 days ago but If I can't find some way to resolve these issues looks like I may have to return it.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on my issues, or is anyone else having the same problem?
Make sure you are using slot 1

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.

Updated my router a couple weeks ago to TP-Link WiFi 6e, I only use WiFi 6 cause only a couple devices support the 6 ghz band. But I'm getting between 800-890 mbps down consistently. On a U1 S22 Ultra. It's about the same on the 6ghz band as well.

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.
Seems like this is an issue. https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S22/S22-ultra-5ghz-wifi-issue/td-p/2204964

Spectrum 400/20. I get 478/23 from a wired connection.
329 Mbps down, 16.1 Mbps up @ 5 GHz on a 300/15 plan

Paying for 1 gig UP and DOWN. Ethernet PC I get ~900 UP/DOWN. Wifi on an iPhone 12 Pro Max I get ~500+ UP/DOWN. Other laptops I get similar numbers as the iPhone.
At first I thought it was the router but I did replace the ASUS with a Linksys Wifi 6E and same issue with phone. Also distance and number of devices connected doesn't matter I've tried just 1 phone 1 router and literally standing next to it same issue.
bounddyy & gernerttl can you both:
1. Post a screen shot of your connection speed next to your router like pic below.
2. Confirm you are on the latest version of ur routers firmware.

My current connection. I'm less than 4 ft. from my 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.
