Is there a reason I'm getting less than 1mb download on my wifi even though I get almost 20mb on my PC? The upload speed works fine as I'm getting close to 5mb, same as my computer. This is even if I'm standing right next to the router. Honestly isn't any faster than what I get on 3G. This is on stock eclair, rooted.

I am using the Wifi tether app, but seem to be getting reduced speeds for whatever reason. When I run a speed test on my Evo I typically get 1+ MBps for download, but when I run a speed test on my computer I get something like .3 MBps (sometimes it peaks a bit higher, but rarely.)
I am running on a roaming network if that matters, and have rooted for the app via unrEVOked.
Are there some sort of settings that I need to change?
I also seem to get long periods of what I can only call my data timing out where it will not let me upload or download. It goes away on it's own after a while though.
Easy tether seems to work fine....
I just upgraded to a rooted Stock Froyo release (3.26.651.6) and while the 2.0.5-pre07 Android tether works, I don't seem to get the good download speeds when I connect my laptop to it.
So the tether application shows speeds of 4-5 Mbps on the phone screen, but when I wirelessly tether to it and run a speed check on my laptop, i barely get 1Mbps, sometimes even around 500kbps. In fact this problem was even worse when I was on the earlier Android release on the phone. It has improved since the Froyo upgrade, but is nowhere close to the speeds that I would like
Any ideas if this is normal? Or am I missing something here?
what speed test are you using?
I know when I was rooted with 2.1 I was getting around 5-6mbps when using wireless tether with my laptop
2.2 opened rooted 2mbps usb tether 6mbps

I get anywhere from 2Mbps to 6.7 Mbps depending on location. (that's on 4g)
I'm seeing the same thing as darth. Speed tests (the speakeasy one) gives anywhere from 5 to 10 mbps on my phone but on the laptop its around 1 to 1.5. I wonder if encryption has anything to-do with it, I run the WiFi tether app on wpa2 aes with a not-so-short key. Maybe the encryption and the heavier processing slows it down? I'll test without encryption and post the results in a couple of hours.

The funny thing is if I share my internet connection using USB on 4G to my laptop, the speed is around 5 Mbps. So the slow speed is isolated to the wireless tether app and across all devices I connect to it.
On 3g with wifi tether pre7 i just did 1.7 meg down, and 0.34 meg up.

Yes, I tried again without encryption and that does not seem to be the slowing factor. 4g tethered using WiFi tether app gives 1mbps download and 200k up. On 3g, the tethering app gives 250k download and 20k up.
When I do the same speed test directly from the phone, it shows 5mbps down and 1mbps up on 4g, and 500kbps down and 50kbps up on 3g. So its definitely the app. But since this is a preview, I'm pretty sure the devs will get around to fixing it before too long.

I've yet to see anything on my N2 register more than 10mbps down or 4mbps up when using wifi as the data path. It doesn't matter if the speed test is using an internet-based speed testing server, or if I transfer a file to one of my wired LAN PC's.
Oddly enough, I sometimes get faster speeds with HSPA (25+ mbps). It doesn't matter what router I connect to (I have several AP's on my network) - whether at home, neighbors, work, or family. Both my N2 and my wife's show the same type of speed limit.
Not only is it slow, but it's very erratic. I've tried all the standard suggestions (turning of power save mode, always on during sleep, etc), but none of these matter. Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz have the same speed caps.
With all that being said, I'm curious:
What are your maximum DOWNLOAD speeds you've experienced using a WIFI connection?
I consistently get 20mbps+. On 5Ghz, Brighthouse networks, Orlando area, with Roadrunner lightning service.
I get the same as on my home wired computer... 30MB

Sure does make me wonder what's so special about my two N2's. Im running a stock deoxed, rooted rom. In fact, it's this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091214
I wish I could say with confidence that the original unrooted rom was just as slow, but I didn't have it on my phone long enough to even test it...
What rom are you guys running?
I have gotten as high as 27-30 mbps down and 10.5 up. The down was on my home wifi. The up was in the wifi at work.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I'm on stock everything. Only thing I've done is rooted and added the xposed framework to add apps to the multi Window.
I have comcast 50Mb down and 10Mb up I can ever exceed 20Mb down but somehow my upload goes over my 10Mb up
Is anyone having issues with wifi speeds on the newer roms? I've tried several of them and my wifi has been terrible. I have 18 mb at home, computers and laptops confirm this via ethernet and wifi, but my phone can only do about 3-4 at its best, right next to my laptop. Been using speedtest.net app on my phone and computers. Any ideas or anyone having the same issue?

the issues i have with Cleanrom 4.0.5 is that after a few hours or so, not really sure, my wifi literally slows down to lower than 90's dial up speeds. I just have to do a quick off/on with wifi on the phone and it is back up and at full speed. I just checked and have about 24 mb download and 41mb upload on Frontier fiber optic. My Macbook says I have 35 mb download and 18 mb upload. Who the hell knows what it is really
Well I'm not sure why you're having issues. But I haven't experience any slow speeds on my Wi-Fi! But I also have only been on Jelly Thunder Rc3, with no problems. And RC4 is out now! Recommend it..
Rom I'm on: DIAPHANES

Make sure your router isn't set on auto channel. Us WiFi analyser to check your area for other routers and the channel they are using. make sure your router is set to a WiFi channel that isn't being used by someone else. That will help. Since over lapping WiFi channels increase latency on WiFi networks.

I have the same issue. Toggling wi-fi solves the issue for me.
I'm having this issue also. I'm stock though. Toggling wifi resolves it for a few hours.

I can't be sure which rom I was on when it started, could have been tasks or Illusion or Quantum, but my upload speed is terrible. My data dl speed is decent for h+ around 4-5 Mbps, but my upload is practically non existent, 2-10 kbps, I've flashed a bunch of different modems and roms, and I can't seem to fix it. Also my service plummets when I turn on WiFi, like 0 to 1 bar... dk what that's about but any ideas would be helpful.
