I've stumbled across a number of postings that mentioned people get a maximum throughput of 65Mbps with the Wifi N mode on the Desire. That would make sense as it likely only utilizes 2.4GHz with limited internal antenna capabilities.
What it also means is that 802.11n is pretty pointless compared to 802.11g which already provides data rates of 54Mbps, and reportedly consumes less battery power.
It was also reported that the official Froyo release already activated 802.11n mode, which would make further modifications unnecessary.
My questions in the interest of throwing anything related to 802.11n out of the ROM:
1) does Froyo indeed include N support? (I don't have a N router and can not test it)
2) is N indeed limited to a max data rate of only 65 Mbps on the Desire?
Thanks for reading and hopefully feedback

I have an 802.11n router and gets a max of only 65 mbps transfer rate using Froyo. I have since disabled N support on my Desire to save some batt life.
Using Pays Froyo 1.9 with enabled N and connecting up to 72Mb/s.

Not sure about anyone else, but with 802.11g the phone will connect at roughly half signal to my router, speeds of about 20-25mbps, when i connect via 802.11n the signal is much better and it connect at full 65mbps, though yeah i never get above 65mbps, i think this has to do with the antenna arangement, 802.11n had 3 antennas, and i think the desire only has 1 so the total speed is limited
i´m more interrested in the speed you transfer with on the diffrent modes since i get less than 20Mbit with G from local to local.. and i wonder if i sould invest in N ? does it give higher transferrates ? eg the speed of the filetransfer between comps..
sorry to ask
sorry to ask a noob question, but where again do you check to see the speed of your wireless, I did it once but can't remember how.
Phone *#*#4636#*#*. As to higher WiFi N speeds. We won't get higher speeds that 65-72Mbps because WiFi N mostly operates on the 5GHz band.

what a brainfuck 802.11 works with up to 600mbps at 2.4 ghz like on 5 ghz
. i wrote exams about wifi.
i bet the desire uses 1 antenna so it can get a max of 150mbps symbol rate.
but i think it uses a channel bandwidth of 20 mhz instead of 40 mhz so it is limited to the half of 150!!!
Well im currently connected at 72 using LeeDroid

ye this just shows your connected speed..
to get the actual speed you need to transfer a file between computers locally.
those 2 speeds vary alot since it depends on noise and interferrence and loss.

OK, that explains it. So we have a physical limit here for the throughput.
How about the better signal strength for N? This may be the result of the coding scheme. And more importantly, does the stock Froyo already provide 802.11n, so we could get rid of all the firmware and module hacks?
Bongmaster is right, you have different speeds for wireless N devices.
The desire is 1T1R (1 transmitter 1 receiver), and therefore can only only get 150mbps as a max theoretical speed. 2T2R is required for 300mbps operation.
However as mentioned, this only works with 40mhz channel bandwidth, 20mhz will cut it in half again.
Can someone force 40mhz channel bandwidth on their router and post results? Most Wireless N routers seem to come with 20mhz as the default setting.
Let me bump this again, there is one important question that was not answered yet:
Does the stock Froyo release (OTA) support Wifi 802.11n or not? I can not test it as I don't have access to a N router.
Thanks!
Everything I have read says yes.

I did this and it made no difference, 72Mbps was the maximum it showed.
To be honest, I'm not sure the Desire is even capable of handling anywhere near this speed anyway. When connected to my home wireless at this speed, the actually download speed I get via speedtest.net is somewhere around 15-20Mbps and I have a 50Mbit connection.
Don't know what's up with all yours but mine is running at 425.9 MBPS.. IT is lightening fast, much faster than my 128mbps stick.

That's all your getting from your ISP then when you tested, try it again at 2am or something when there's less people in your area sharing your bandwidth.
I noticed when I was at a friend's place recently that the Vibrant supports N wifi networks as well as G. However, I did not have the opportunity to do any extended testing.
I have noticed that wifi transfers over the network using various file sharing tools tend to be slow, and buffering with Allshare can be slow at times. What I'm wondering is, has anybody compared actual speed of Wifi on the Vibrant or Galaxy when using an N network versus G? Is the speed of the phone itself more the limiting factor, or would I get much better speeds using an N network?
Reason is, I'm currently using a Buffalo WHR-54GS router. It is a bit old, but using DD-WRT firmware, it has been rock solid. It does not, however, support N networking. I'm wondering if I would see any improvement in speeds transferring files and buffering DLNA connections by upgrading to a Buffalo WHR-HP-GN which supports N networking.
The only reason I'd upgrade would be for the N based Wifi - so if there's no benefit on my phone, then I wouldn't need to upgrade. Any input?
I have not had a chance to do any benchmarking but I have done allshare over both a G and N network and it did seem noticibly faster over the N network. Especially when paired with a gigabit hard wire to whaterver your streaming to/from.
Actually I think the gigabit helped as much as the wireless N, of course those routers tend to be more expensive...
I got a linksys wrt160n with ddwrt. the n doesnt work great with ddwrt but the router is great. i also have another n wireless but i dont notice much diference at all. maybe internal network stuff but not internet stuff.
Can't say I've done side-by-side comparisons, but it does seem to get some boost from the N speeds. For a new router, I'd suggest the ASUS RT-N16. Just about the most powerful consumer router out there (RAM & CPU) and it runs Tomato (plus dd-wrt)
N is better for streaming.
The N network allows a faster streaming and file transfer over the wifi. Now this will not improve your internet speed. The limit on the router might be higher, the modem will still have its limits. If you use allshare alot, I'll recommend you get a N router, otherwise no reason to purchase something you won't use. I have a Netgear dualband router (WNDR 3300). It supports both N and G networks but I rarely use the N since most of my devices do not support N. The ones I have that do like the Vibrant supports at 2.4ghz frequency. The router can be switched to broadcast the N at 2.4ghz, but like I said, If you're not streaming, there's really no need for it. To put this in numbers, the G networks can only transfer data at the maximum of 50mbps while the N can transfer files at Maximum of ~400mbps (if not higher). If your internet service does not offer more than 50mbps speed, then your internet will remain the same whether on G or N. You have been schooled
Helpful, informative post. Up until the last sentence.
Unless you only set your router to n you wont get the full advantage of using n you will only get compatibility. Having g on slows down you n network to a like speed. At least that what happens on my router, I have a dlink, when I did a little Googling it confirmed it.

May be specific to your Dlink. My Asus does G & N, and the N devices ran significantly faster than the G laptop that I still had connected until recently. The G laptop never slowed anything else down.

If you are going to try to school people, please do it right and quit misleading people.
The Vibrant is not MIMO capable, so we only get a theoretical 150Mbps on 802.11N. Due to security and WiFi error correction, realistic throughput is ~70Mb/s. That is 8.75MB/s, slightly faster than an AData 16G class 6 card, but significantly slower than a SanDisk 8G Class 6 card.
On 802.11G, again due to WiFi error correction and security, a realistic throughput number is around 20Mb/s. That is 2.5MB/s, barely faster than a crappy Class 2 SD card.
Keep in mind that these are all "optimal" numbers. The amount of time that your vibrant will ever see these (more realistic) maximum numbers are probably less than 10% of the time.

Try a file transfer on N with the compatibility mode off (N Only) versus in B/G/N mode. You should see a speed increase on N only. However, with everything RF, you might have interfering neighbors that will influence testing.
Some of the wireless routers will slow down. it has to do with the router only having one band. In a dual simultaneous router, one band can be slowed to G speeds, such as my PS3 or my dad's 2nd gen iPod touch. My vibrant, however is automatically positioned on a completely seperate stream from the G devices.
i have a Cisco E3000
and i do see a small difference
about a minute difference in downloading a 600mb file
I purchased my phone shortly after launch, so I've had it for a while. Every now and then, I'll randomly perform a speed test through the Speedtest.net app. I've noticed that I've never gotten more than 10mbps down when connected via Wi-Fi, even though I have a 50mbps connection -- on LTE, I've gotten up to 20mbps. I've also tested the phone on other Wi-Fi networks, with the same result.
People often say that the online speed tests aren't 100% accurate, so I decided to test the phone using iperf. I used a Linux machine with a direct ethernet connection to the router as the iperf server. I ran several tests, and they all came back with ~10mbps.
Is this normal, or do I have a defective phone that needs to be taken back to AT&T? What's the warranty on these phones, btw? I bought it off-contract at an AT&T retail store.
No, I can get my full internet connection speed through my phone (15mbps). I'd suggest running the test when you the phone is physically closer to the wireless router.
Do you have a 'g' or 'n' wireless connection?

Got me stumped then.
The phone connects at G not N, it doesn't have 5GHz capabilities.
The best on N connection (300mbps) PC to PC on my home network, is about sustain 12MB/sec (megabytes/sec), that's about 96mbps which is actually pretty good for N 300mbps.
The phone best can do is 1MB/sec, which is about what I was getting on G network card PC to PC, therefor it seems this phone doesn't actually have N connection
These statistics are pure amateur stats using NetMeter on PC and Traffic Monitor on phone.

You're right, it doesn't have 5GHz capabilities. My mistake. I did my iperf tests on two different routers, an ASUS RT-N66U (stock) and Linksys WRT54GL (w/ DD-WRT). I forgot that my phone only connects to the 2.4GHz band of the ASUS router.
Anyways, do believe that it does have N capabilities. It's listed in the specs. It's just that we don't get anything close to N speeds.

It doesn't seem to be related to that though. I only have G wifi at home, and I can get 1.5MB/sec (12mbps) which is my maximum internet speed without any issue.
Have you tried running a speed test on a different wifi network?

Not necessarily. Some routers can do better than 54mbps on wireless-G if the device supports it. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/125_High_Speed_Mode
Dunno if that's actually what's happening though.

im getting between 16mbps and 20mbps down and 2mbps to 3mbps up.
my laptop with built-in wireless card gets pretty much the same but when i use my usb wifi adapter (linksys in 2.4ghz mode) it gets 30mbps down and close to the same upload.
my router is a belkin n300 share with stock belkin firmware
so i know the router can do 30mbps over wifi as my linksys usb wifi adapter proves that.
just wondering why my laptop AND GS3 only get about 20mbps consistantly over wifi....
anyone do a test on their S3 over "WIFI" and see what they get or tell me what is wrong with my laptop and s3?
the router can not do 5ghz it is only capeable of 2.4ghz and b/g/n with 20mhz/40mhz bandwith
when i use that linksys usb wifi adapter its really working good but im surprised the GS3 is not, the laptop i could even understand getting the 20mbps (wireless-n 1030 built-in)
it dont seem like any setting i make really changes the speed for the laptop or the phone

The USB WiFi adapter are far more advanced an faster than that of a phone or laptop its not a modem issue or device issue its just simply the WiFi adapters inside our devices i have a similar issue where i have a 35mbs plan and i only got around 15-20mbs i upgraded my router and now i nearly achieve my 35mbs mark but no matter what router you get if you use Ethernet or a USB WiFi card the internet will be faster because generally computers interpret internet faster over a hard connection vs a wireless connection where u still loose around 5-10mbs the only possible solution is maybe invest in a different router with the option to direct more bandwidth via WiFi or change your WiFi broadcast frequency to only one type or frequency weather it be 801.11n or 802.11g or 802.11b choose ONE that is fastest not all 3 or which ever you have because that generally slows your internet by great amounts as well

why exactly do the phone (gs3 in this case) and the laptop (built-in intel wireless-n 1030) get the same speeds?
with wireless-n (even at 2,4) single antenna it should get close to 150mbps (theorectical)
wireless G = 54mbps in actuality it is around 20mbps which is what im getting and yep i checked both the laptop and the gs3 show as wireless n connections
you made an interesting point about putting the router in a single mode like "N" and i have tried that but both the laptop and the phone will not connect unless i put the router in b/g/n mode
the linksys usb adapter will connect ok with the router in wireless "N" mode
i am running latest belkin firmware for my f7d3302 router
Because its a wireless signal most devices interpret signals much better through Ethernet or USB just because it cant capture the signal fast enough and long enough to keep it stable enough to stay at the same speed the router is broadcasting at sure enough the router is broadcasting at a stable speed but the device wont capture it fast enough the only solution i found is what i mentioned to either get a router which makes a more stronger secure signal or broadcast at only one frequency and the s3 should capture N maybe try changing from 2.4 to 5.0 and try N again otherwise there might be a hardware issue because i use my router at 2.4 with 801.11n on channel 10 and my internet is almost as fast as Ethernet and far longer range

so the phone can actually get over 22mbps in "WIFI" mode?
are you on 5ghz N or 2.4ghz N?
would like to add
iperf from the phone to the laptop (builtin nic) is now getting 25mbps in multiple runs
this is on the local lan only in wireless N mode (2.4ghz) with 20/40 enabled in router
so this is a big improvement over the 7-10mbps i was getting earlier but the wifi connected to net is still 20mbps

was able to put router in wireless n mode only (2.4ghz) by enabling "802.11e/WMM QoS"
now laptop with built-in nic and s3 can both connect at wireless n only
the laptop speed did jump up to what the hard wire ethernet cable AND linksys usb wifi are getting
they are all getting 28mbps (within a 1mbps deviation)
the phone is still stuck at 18-22mbps.

With phones there is a bigger difference because they're might be many factors like the modem the type of WiFi chip the size of the chip range and capability also what ROM your running just too much that might vary but on my phone on average i get around 20mbs it seems to me there's a 10mbs variation because at work we have a 100mbs connection and i get around 85mbs i believe the s3 maxes out at 100 but to reach that you have to have some fast internet and either a gaming router or a business router

on wireless n (2.4ghz) it should connect the "link speed" at 150mbps
when its at 150mbps this indicates "Channel Bonding" is working
im getting 72mbps and i had been reading other cellphone that had similar problems @ 75mbps
to my understanding the phones were not channel bonding correctly.
i have had 3-4 people saying all kinds of stuff without really saying anything scientific.
i could have done that too but instead i knew there was a real problem
i kept digging and am sharing my experience as i find out what is really going on.
to check your "link speed" you can long press on your wifi connection and then go advance and scroll down and it should show it.
you can also get wifi analyzer and change the view and then select your connection
from what it looks like this galaxy s3 and my belkin n300 share router are not getting along.
i need another router to see if that is the problem or if it is really my phone and the software its running.
if other people with their devices would post your findings here it would be great
thanks
I have Verizon fios quantum 150/75 my S3 never sees above 40/50. I have the newest Verizon actiontek rev. I router. My desktop receives 160/79 on LAN

holy crap
looks like you are going to be the record holder
i take it that is at 5ghz and link speed is at 150
what is the fastest speeds you can get in wifi with only 2.4ghz?
40/50 is at 5ghz never tried setting the router to board cast 2.4ghz only. Is that the case why I do not see speeds higher then 40/50 on my S3. Never really thought about it

if you try to put your router at 2.4ghz (wireless n with 20/40) and connect your phone at "link speed 150mbps" you might still get that same 40/50
if your "link speed = 72mbps" like mine you will probably only get 20mbps down and prob same thing up
im pretty curious as it does seem like your phone and internet is working correctly
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.
