I haven't noticed anything wrong, but I don't use the Internet on my phone much when I'm home. Usually either my laptop or tablet at home, so I could miss it.
The problem might be its losing signal since the wifi signal seems weaker than my last phone which was the epic. Ive moved closer to my router and its not doing it now.

I did read a thread on here that someone was saying the wifi signal was weaker. I'd have to look for the thread.

Ok I have read that Wireless N was enabled by an OTA and I also read that you need to perform a hack to get it... So now I am confused.. Which one is it and how do I do it if a hack is required?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
the Wireless N hack was for Eclair. Froyo does not need the hack.

Thank you so much!

just dont think your are going to see anything close to N speeds though... it cant.
if i recalled and i dont hqve the right app installed to verify, but i think you are limited to a max of something like 65mbps. so that is a farfarfar cry from N and only slightly better than 54G.

I just want better connectivity and faster speeds than what I get now.. I am 1 wall away from my 6yr old wireless g router and my evo struggles to hit 1mbps download speeds and drops to 1 bar.. I hate it! Would be nice to get 4g like speeds on wifi... Like 3-10mbps down.. So I just ordered a dlink wireless n xtreme router.. Hope it works better than what I currently have.

Wireless N on my EVO?
Well, a WiFi connection to your Wireless N router will much exceed 3G and 4G from my experience, you will be happy. BTW: I have a Froyo EVO, just tested it, forced my LinkSys WRT350N to accept WirelessN only, connected with no issue.

Any clue why my wireless tether only let's me have about 200k down? Tried it on several devices with the same result. Xoom, desktop, and laptop. Speed test on the phone shows pretty consistant 900kbps, I can understand some loss with overhead, but less than 1/4 the speed seems a little extreme.
I'm using the pre14? API...I think. It's been really slow since day 1, slower than my hero - but I just started testing speeds today.
I'm on ee03 if it matters.

Yeah, just like john said, open up tethering, make sure the device is set on Epic, once that is done, turn on 4g, done. Wait, are you by any chance running the tethering openly or did u set a password on it?

I even went as far as setting a password "imaphonehacker" lol..because everyone at the coffee shop I was at was trying to use my Wifi instead of the coffee shops. That's why the red icon is there in my screenshot. I had 5 people grab my signal one time

If it is 4g its slower than my iowa 3g. I use tether as my primary internet for my pc at home. I kinda got the same issue 1.2mbps down on the phone, and I only get maybe 160kbps down on the tower.

okay so when I go to work I usually turn off my Wifi to save battery while I'm working since I keep my phone on. I don't touch it at all and I always leave the house with a full charge. The other night I accidentally left the Wifi on and when I left work I looked at my phone to realize my battery was a lot higher then when I turn it off. I don't connect to my works crappy Wifi either so I think it would be searching the whole time wasting battery... so what's better or is something wrong with my phone?

Wifi off when not in use is better for battery.

It's called "fast dormancy" it's a feature which puts your data connection into different states to avoid excessive battery drain.. it's actually very helpful in maintaining battery life. Do a Google search for "fast dormancy" there a a bunch of XDA threads explaining everything.
I do admit it's sometimes quite annoying. While I am tethering, I simply open a command window and ping Google endlessly. It keeps the connection always on. Annoying but it helps. Sometimes I don't even notice a difference.

I really don't think you want it on h+ constantly you would get the quickest battery drain

Have you tried changing your screen timeout settings? I know on certain devices that the data wont slow until the screen is off.

Dude, data cutting off aside, that's supposed to happen as others have mentioned. Think about what you're asking, you want to constantly keep 4G connection even when you're not needing - that makes no sense. Does a bullet train go 200mph when it has no passengers? That's what you're saying.

Yes I understand there would be a significant battery drain but what if I could toggle it for an hour while tethering so it would stay on h+ constantly than toggle back go regular way. And the ping someone here mention doesn't work on iPad lol that's pretty much what I want to tether.

short answer .. yes.
I've been working on this for awhile. I personally want it because I get slivers of 4g where I live but the majority is h.(3g) so I'm trying to figure a way to force only 4g(h+) but it's proving quite difficult. It's looking to be only possible via a radio edit. Meaning editing the radio to tell the phone it's only capable of 4g(h+) data connectivity.

Running into the same issue. Assuming and hoping it is resolved in one of the new updates or a ROM from a dev.
It connects, and would work fine, then if I make a call or something, it would go in this dormant mode.
Dont want to sabotage your thread Abhi, but another issue with Wifi I am dealing with is that even though I have set Network discovery to Off, it would keep finding Wifi Networks to connect to. Got tired of pulling my hair the first couple days, so just turn wifi off when I leave home.
Yes hopefully it will be resolved in the new update and I have never experienced that. You might wanna check your wifi setting.

It seems like the S4 phones sure do have a lot of problems that people "hope" will be resolved with a magical OTA. Maybe it'll happen.
Anyway, I ran across this thread in the AT&T S4 forum, maybe it can help with the issue...if it works at all.

I spent days researching and trying to figure out how to fix my wifi problems. I found quite a few threads with people reporting wifi problems plaguing the Galaxy SIII as well so I used their solutions to solve my wifi problems with the S4. Here's my solution.
No issues here. Maybe because I'm using 5ghz n?
i was thinking i was the only one as i saw no mention of it;
but yes, my wifi is unusually slow.
my LTE speeds are WAY faster.
my ap is a Ubiquiti Power AP N.
my SIII and Nexus 4 would easily match my ISP max speed... 50 Megabit.
S4 ?
i get around 25, 26, 27 megabits.
hmm.

I'll try that next. It's a lot better than doing *#0011# every reboot.. I had some issues with 4G doing basically the same thing that it was with WIFI, but I lost the connection soon after; so maybe it was a bad area.

It doesn't work for me on 5GHz. Sorry, maybe it does. I need to test it more. My XDA app keeps crashing and I need to use a more reliable program to test the connection.
Eh, some of my other devices cannot even see the network; so this isn't a solution for me. I hope they actually fix this or maybe CM doesn't have this problem.
Have a DLink DIR-855. Connects on both 2.4 & 5, but cannot access internet beyond a few seconds. Tried all of the above solutions, but no luck. Funny enough, I have a DLink repeater/booster that I connect to without a hitch!??
S2, S3, GN2 work flawlessly on all connections...
