I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with this little issue I'm having. I'm running stock EB13 Froyo on my Epic currently. The issue I'm having is that for whatever reason my web browsing speeds while I'm at my house are pretty slow. I've downloaded the speedtest ap and ran 3 seperate tests last night with the following results:
D/L 14.01 Mbps U/L 1.89 Mbps
D/L 14.73 Mbps U/L 1.88 Mbps
D/L 14.13 Mbps U/L 1.82 Mbps
Needless to say, pretty solid speeds. For whatever reason though, when I'm web browsing it seems to crawl along while loading pages. My router is a Linksys WRT610N and I'm broadcasting in B/G/N. My wife's laptop runs on wireless N without any issues, and I've also got a Linksys wireless N gaming router that I've got hooked up to my WDTV that I'm able to stream 1080p DTS files without any hiccups.
Whenever I'm web browsing outside of the house, whether it be 3G/4G or Wifi the pages load up much faster, so I know it's some sort of setting that I need to configure on my home router. Anybody have any ideas?
I'm using Dolphin Browser HD if that helps at all. Thanks in advance for any help or insight!
Same problem except I'm also getting page could not be displayed. This new update has made WiFi virtually unusable. Either it doesn't work or it's slow.
What GHz band are your routers broadcasting in?
my phone does the same thing as well. I get alot of page cannot be displayed as well.

The 610N is dual-band, but the Epic only supports 2.4ghz.

I have a netgear router and only broadcast wireless N at 2.4 ghz. I'm sure with you broadcastin multiple routers you are getting interference. Also I re boot router once a week to make sure everything is synced up nicely. I'm a black ops gamer.

Encryption type is sometimes a big issue with devices. Also router channel. Since speedtest shows good speed it seems smaller packets with browsing is issue... likely having many retries

I echo the question. Since the OP is connecting his Epic to the 610N, we can assume it is using one of the 2.4GHz channels. Is the gaming router also 2.4GHZ?
There are only 3 non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channels (1, 6, 11) The others overlap with these 3.
If the OPs routers are using channels 4 & 6, for example, they would definitely interfere with each other. You also need to be concerned with strong signals from neighbors interfering.
Yes, I am a wireless engineer
One thing I have noticed. Is that if utorrent is runing on the LAN (wired) the Epic does not work vary good. Its not that the torrents are hogging all the bandwith. I had it throttled to 100KB max connections was 50 I tryed 40 45 44 I have it at 35 right now.

I am having problems connecting to my wireless router, my Evo is saying I have a "poor signal" at my computer desk but my computer is showing me at 100% signal. I think its a Evo software thing but thats my 2 cents. I don't use my wifi often with my phone any way so no biggie for now.
I also have ssid broadcast off and I cant get it working.

Hi everybody, So far I love the EVO even without 4g. Anyway after I turned on my ssid I connected okay. I can see the market and find what I want to download. It says downloading but never does. I have downloaded apps with the 3g but I don't have a signal at my home. I always used winmo before and had no problems downloading on my home network. I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to what I might be missing. I got root okay and have been having a blast but I sure would like to download some more apps while I am at home. Thanks, Rick
SSID broadcast off and no issues for me thus far.
Yes, me too. Sort of.
My Evo shows 1 bar of wifi signal strength at a distance of 8 feet from the router where my iphone shows full bars. I do get decent download speeds using xspeedlabs free but the upload speed seems to cap at 750kbs where the iphone goes over 1mbs with the same test. There is definitely something weird going on.

I am having similar results as far as signal strength. Sitting 2 feet away from my router I am only showing one bar of signal strength and getting very slow speeds. All of my other wifi devices (including those that are on the opposite side of the house and downstairs) are getting signals ranging from "good" to "excellent". Something definitely seems to be up with the wifi.....

I was having wifi issues too. I'm running dd-wrt on my router. Turns out just power cycling the router fixed it. I think I'm going to setup my router to reset weekly.
I get the same issue of having 1 bar of signal strength, regardless of how close I am... even tried on 2 different wireless routers, Linksys-dual band N, and Net gear A/B/G.
I get strong signal from both routers on all other devices, iPhone, iTouch, Touch Pro, Laptops, etc...
I've played with all the settings on the EVO, turning off the mobile data and only having wifi on, changing the encryption settings on the routers... nothing seems to work.
I love the phone, but kinda bummed about this issue.
I have ssid broadcasting turned off and I'm using WPA 2 with no problems.
There is a long, angry thread about this over at HTC's own EVO forum: http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/2929.aspx
I'm also getting less Wi-Fi performance on the EVO than on other devices in the house.
Using Fresh 1.0.1 rom and also the new Cyanogen rom, with the SSID off, I cannot connect with WiFi, with SSID on, it works fine. Using Cisco/Linksys e2000 router.
Tested with my iPhone with SSID off, it connects no problem. So the problem is not my router.
Is this limitation of EVO?
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 don't think you can open your Nat using the hotspot because you have to open your ports to have a open Nat. This is my opinion you might be able to though

Well on a router you would go to your pc then the router settings and it should be called port forwarding and just type in the ports you wanted open and if its udp or tcp and that would open your ports but not sure how to do it on a phone . When I tether to my Xbox I have a moderate Nat

Wouldn't matter if you were using PDANet, Sprint's $30/month wifi tether, or any other wifi tether, 3g data speeds on sprint are sporadic, with a minimum advertised of 600k/down and a max advertised speed of 1400k/down, if memory serves. A lot of times, especially in the busy hours of the day, your speeds will be much lower on 3g.
Forgot to mention your ping time and upstream will also affect your lag on gaming like this. You can use free apps like speedtest (With your wifi shut off) to test your 3G speeds,
which will report ping, downstream and upstream. In my area, I average 400-700ms ping times, which is over a half second, on off hours (4am-8am) I can get very low ping times and fast speeds, but during the day, I get crap ping, crap downstream, and crap upstream.

You cant use PDAnet on a ps3, as you need to install a client program on the ps3, which is impossible.
Like everyone else says, 3g is too slow to use to play online games. Even if sprint had decent 3g speeds (which it doesnt) the ping times to get to and from the tower and network are way to high, you will always have lag. If you had 4g coverage, it would be fast enough, but again, ping times would kill you compared to other people using cable modems.
thanks guys very informative
I play cod,bf with my ps3 online everyday on 3g with very few issues using stock cm7.1 tether. I'm not even in a very good area. I only get 1-2 bars out of 4 here at my house.
Having the Nat type open isn't super important anyway.

havin a open nat helps for sure but they have to be set for each game i opened mine to mw3 and its a lot smoother but i got 25mb dl speeds via time warner lol edit:forgot i used to tether on blk ops just fine on 3g lil laggy sometimes as far as open nat on that i dont think u can
When I try to use my wifi connection at home its really really slow. Sometimes it just loads part of the websites or some other it doesnt load at all and I have to refresh it several times so it loads. I also have an iphone and a laptop which dont have this problem at all. Theyre working perfectly fine with my wifi connection.
This only happens with wifi, on 3g it works fine. I havent been able to try more wifi networks to see if this only happens with mine

It also could be a WiFi issue. I was having WiFi issues with my GNex also that I thought was the phone until I started tweaking my Router settings. Some devices are more forgiving to certain routers. In addition some devices Roam to different AP's much better than others.
I have 2 WiFi AP's in my house to span covereage across 2900sqft. I found that my WiFi was just conflicting with each other causing issues with speed and connection so this is what I did.
My Modem is a TWC Wireless Modem - WiFi turned off.
Router 1 Linksys E4200 is Bridged to TWC Modem it is dual band so I have the 5ghz band set MyHomeAP in mixed mode with a 40Mhz Spread, using 36 as the Channel. The 2.4Ghz band is set to MyHomeAP-N in N only mode with a 40mhz Spread and 11 as the channel. I need a seperate SSID here because it was causing conflicts and I needed a 2.4ghz connection upstairs for my Transformer Prime Tab since it does not support 5ghz radios.
Router 2 Netgear WNR300L with DD-WRT loaded is downstairs on the other side of the house. It is a 2.4 ghz router which I have set to MyHomeAP with a 20mhz spread set to channel 1. This allows my devices that are 5ghz compatible to Roam between each AP without conflicts.
So with all that I am now getting 45 mbs WiFi when I am upstairs and connected to the Linksys and 21 mbps downstairs when I am connected to the Netgear downstairs. The Tab is getting a consistent 15mbps on each router which is acceptable for me. This is an improvement from getting 3mbps anywhere in the else regardless of the closeness to the router or the device being used. I'm now able to maximizesmy use of the WideBand service which gets about 52 mbps on a wired connection most of the time.
The GN has lots of issues with different network gear and a lot of it can't be solved by tweaking. Seems like I've heard the most success stories with netgear. I'm using ubee and trendnet and my wifi isn't great. I get between 5 and 20 mbps and its choppy with a lot of disconnects.

You always have to be careful using multiple Wireless routers in the house, because if they are not setup right you will get consistent disconnects and low speeds. Same thing was happening to me until I really digged in and configured my multiple routers correctly. Check my previous post on how I solved my router issues.

Just one router, the time warner ubee docsis 3.0 modem/router. The rest are trendnet APs at 1,6,11. All with same ssid and security. No interference as checked with wifi analyzer. The wifi just sucks. Not much more you can say except try different gear which shouldn't be necessary. All of my laptops etc work great.

I've got the speedtest.net broadband app on my SGS2. When I had my 10mb virgin media connection on my PC, I was getting 9.5mb wi-fi download speed on the phone's speedtest app when the phone is right next to my PC. VM have now switched me over to 60mb on my PC and the phone is now giving me 15.9mb wi-fi with speedtest. Is that the maximum the phone can do via wi-fi or should it be capable of closer to 60mb? Or am I meant to switch off wi-fi and go to wi-fi direct?

Lots of problems with those superhubs squire.. it's recommended if possible to set it up in modem mode and use your own router. Im just on normal wifi at the moment nothing special hub is on modem mode got my router set up pretty standard after much research on the virgin forums mind! It's worth having a look there for configurations but beware there is hundreds of posters complaining Also i did notice that various s2 modems determine the speed of your broadband through your wifi and i use the kh3 as i find it the quickest of all the ones i've tested.

Hmm, interesting. How do I switch it to modem mode? I can setup my router again like I did with my previous VM cable modem and use the wi-fi from my own router if the superhub wi-fi is not up to the job. Having said that, I just did some wi-fi speed tests between my PC and laptop. Downloads speeds vary between 49 and 60mb, and one site reported my upload speed, but all the others couldn't read the upload speed.
What is the kh3 exactly?
Wow. In my country, 10Mbps is only by fibre... Average 3g connection is only 2Mbps

Apologies for late reply squire. If your speedtests are reporting good speeds at your laptop then your hub sounds like its working ok so good news there However if you wanted to boot into modem mode you can access the hub by typing http://192.168.0.1 into your ie search bar and logging in with the standard username - admin and pass wich is set at -changeme these can be changed from within.. once switched to modem mode the address changes to http://192.168.0.100.
The KH3 is a modem for the S2 which seems to work very well for me you can read a bit more about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656005 page 3 has a direct download. It is worth trying a few different ones though as whats great for one maybe not so for another! Hope this helps.
Thanks Juan, great info. Yes, download speeds to laptop are great, but all but one of the speed test sites are not able to report my upload speed. They report them fine on my desktop though, and that's connected via ethernet cable. I suppose it might be the superhub or possibly my laptop causing the error. But anyway, since this a phone forum, I'm probably going too much off topic.
