So I've been messing around with my router and checking transfer rates to see if everything is working as it should. I have the Linksys WRT160Nv3 router. I noticed that my Nexus was only connecting at 65Mbps while my laptop shows a connection of 150Mbps. I have my router set to N-Only, WPA2-AES, and 40Mhz channel width. Is the Nexus limited to a 20Mhz channel width? Is anyone else getting connection rates above 65Mbps?
Seems to be normal from what I gather. Don't know if these phone are capable of processing that much data anyways. I'm not sure how fast the NAND storage is but it seems to top about 10 MB/s which is about 80 Mb/s I think. Really not much point in connecting faster. Very few people have access to those speeds anyways, even lte users. If the phone has sd cards it would be great. I have a lexar micro sd that can write 20 MB + a second.

Strange, but my friend has 50Mbit broadband. I did a Speedtest.net on his computer and got 35Mbps as a result. I did the same speedtest on my phone via wifi and it couldn't get past 10mbps (1MB/s) Which is strange as Wireless G is 54MBps, and there were no other devices connected Wirelessly.
Speedtest does not measure speed of your wifi LAN. 54Mbps is max wifi local speed, not the speed at which internet data is actually transferred. So speedtest.net must not show 54Mbps.

Phones are slower than computers while processing the received internet data. That would have caused it to show less speed. IMO 10Mbps is still pretty good for a mobile device with network of 802.11g class.

Phone's are not slower at processing the data from the internet, that's just stupid. It's a simple measurement of speed. And I wasn't measuring the LAN speed, I wanted to measure the speed the phone got via Wi-Fi when connected to a 50Mbit source. The speed hits a virtual roof at 1MB/s and backs off. As in the speed leaps from 0kbs to 800kbs in seconds and works up to 1024kbs the drops back to around 800kbs and slowly works back to 1000kbs but the test ends before this happens and the speed is registered as around 8Mbit.
Even when uploading using Wi-Fi File Explorer the max rate attainable is 10Mbit (1MB/s) even if the network is Wireless G (54Mbps) or Wireless N (150Mbps). Now this is a running a Sensation ROM (RCMix S v2.0) which has updated the Wi-Fi to Wireless N.
Now, my point is, 10Mbps is a good speed, you're not wrong, but why place a Wireless G card into the phone if it will only ever see Wireless B speeds? It wastes radio frequency by being on the 2.4 GHz range when it won't fully utilise all of that. Just seems daft to me. I'm sure a tablet connected to a 50Mbit source would receive closer than my Desire.
I have some CCNA certifications under my belt, so I'm adept at networking, I just thought either my phone was a problem or it was a design. Like you say, 10Mbit isn't to be sniffed at.
I can only seem to connect at 150Mbps. Is this phone wireless N 150Mbps or 300Mbps or 450Mbps?
Is your router capable of 300Mbps or 450Mbps?

According to Geekaphone.com it's Wireless N 150Mbps. Hope this helps
No worries about that, to have an isp providing internet at that speed would put you on the to 1% list.

I only ever remember seeing a 150Mbps linkspeed on TouchWiz, even though my Dlink WNDR3700 (w/dd-wrt) router supports faster, and I've only seen up to 65-72Mbps on CM10 fwiw.
I tend to use the 802.11G more than N, though, because it has much better range, and almost always gets a 54Mbps linkspeed, which is still plenty of bandwidth (~6MB/s) for just about everything these days. I'll sometimes switch back to N if G gets congested or in the rare case when I need slightly more bandwidth (like maxing out the 10MB/s write speed of my external class10 SDcard when not using USB).
Has anyone successfully connected at 802.11ac and what kind of speeds are you getting? For some reason, I can't get past 54Mbps and it seems to be stuck on 802.11n at 5Ghz.
It has 802.11n with one or two streams(150 or 300mbit). I think I have seen a 200mbit connection once or twice, but quite often its 150mbit,which is twice of what my other two androids can achieve. Actual transfer rates are much lower, up to 2mbyte/s in my LAN, twice my ADSL rate.
Supposedly, it also supports 802.11ac. I bought a Netgear 6300 which supports 802.11ac and the Note 10.1 2014 doesn't connect at those speeds.

i manage about 5MB/s on my 300Mb wifi N on 5GHz (150Mb connection)
havent tried AC, but it should obviously get faster than that (this is wifi file transfer from a PC or NAS, not speedtests)
i'd have to say it must be a router config setings problem, unless its working at full speed on other devices.
Hello,
Does anyone know the theoretical WiFi speed of the SM-T700 in 2.5G and 5G band? Or can someone share his?
Using OOKLA Speedtast, I'm having approx 8-10Mbps under 5Ghz band with mine (similar perf w/ file transfer from a computer on local computer) but I get 40-50Mbps with other connected devices (eg S7E).
I'm not sure if this is due to device capability or ROM issue, so I'd like to know what is to be expected first.
Thanks for your input.
The 802.11AC, which works in the 5GHz bands, gives roughly 100Mbps per stream for a 20MHz wide channel. The Tab S supports two steams and up to 80MHz wide channels, so in theory with the right access point setup, you have theoretical speed of 800-900Mbps. However, in real life wi-fi wastes at least half of its bandwidth on it's own protocols house keeping. So the Tab S should be able to have 200-400Mbps ish link to the router under the optimal conditions. However, the 5GHz band slows down tremendously with the distance or behind the walls. If you're not getting 50Mbps in the speed test, then you're probably far away from the wireless access point, or there is some kind of interference going on. The 2.4GHz band is slower and usually more congested, but it reaches greater distances.
Thanks for the details @Akopps.
From what I observed, the max download speed on my Tab S is averaging 7MBps whereas using my laptop I get at least 20MBps. Same distance from router, located <4m and 2.5m up without obstructions.
So its seems I'm way below theoretical capable speeds but unsure why.
Is this max network speed for a70?
This is screenshoot form wifi settings.
On other phones i get 130mbps.
mine says 65. Ultra slow downloads. Heard some people talkin about using the 5 Ghz band of certain equipped routers or n band. It is just so slow downloading from my wlan I figured it must have something greater wrong with it. Like hackers again...who knows.
This is what mine says
On mine is 72mbps network speed and cant get over 49mbps download speeed on speedtest.net
433Mpbs on 802.11AC for me
I get a picture 130 mbps on my oreo device but both pie devices say 65 mBps.
My 1000/100/10 switch connects ethernet to various devices which easily shuttle the expected 80-130 actual MB/s around of large filetypes.
I don't have any sort of 5 Ghz router just the crappy device that the company sent out. And on that the MAC filter keeps getting disabled which increases my paranoia. Till 2 weeks ago I used the same crappy standard gateway/router for 6 years and frankly it was equal or better experience. At least that one started up reasonably fast. And its MAC filter was always on. But that could just indicate that the neighborhood brats had an easy backdoor to that one and didn't have to brute force off the MAC filter.
In my opinion the MAC filter getting disabled (now a few different times it has happened) indicatives a much much larger problem
I have been intending to get my own personal router for a while but there are too many options so I haven't had the scope to choose one yet.
Other phone in network displays 117mbps and is a Pie.
On same network 2.4ghz on s8,s7 i get 130mbps and on a70 72mbps max.
Just tried 5ghz on same network and got 150mbps it is a little faster.
But on 2.4ghz 72mbps is max.
hi guys
i have also same problem . cannot connect more than 72mbps , with 5ghz 150mbps max . something wrong but i could not find what is the problem .
you guys found any solution ?
mine has 72mb on 2.4 and 433mb on 5g...

i think all a70 phones are like that
I just tested and got 158Mbs with a 5Ghz wifi connection, although only around 60Mps on 2.4Ghz.
Andre
I'll check mine later and see if I can figure out what's happening
Right next to the router I can see 96mbps in 2.4Ghz
Must be something wrong. I got 433mbps.
Nothing is wrong.
The Snapdragon 675 supports 2x2 chains on WiFi, but the A70 only has a 1x1 antenna so it connects at half the speed.
Link speeds on the A70 are as follows:
2.4 GHz = 72 Mbps
2.4 GHz (with 256 QAM) = 96 Mbps
5 GHz = 433 Mbps
On all devices with 2x2 on WiFi, the speeds above will be doubled on those.
These are in ideal network conditions with great signal strength and low interference. These numbers could reduce if you are far from the router.
This is not abnormal. A lot of mid-range devices only have 1x1 for WiFi.
