So, not having run a speedtest on my laptop in a while, I actually thought my roommate was lying to me when he said we should be getting faster internet. Apparently he's not. Question being, with the speeds people are pulling on LTE, why can't I pull the same speeds from my wifi on my laptop as my GN2? My laptop is getting 50mbps down, while my Note tops out around 25mbps although yesterday I pulled a couple over 30mbps which has never happened before. Can anyone explain why I'm topping out like that when so much more is capable?
It can be a number of factors, buildings , wind , weather, static interference, anything could be a factor. It won't always be consistent.

Those factors have nothing to do with wifi or why my phone wont go over 25mbps when it can go way higher than that.
It could be the type of wifi antenna that we have on the phone. Max speed is achieved using MIMO streams which required multiple wifi antennas. I suspect that GN2 wifi have only one antenna, one stream up or down.

Just seems odd that it maxes out at that speed on wifi yet with LTe its capable of double that. Does anyone else get more than 25mbps on their wifi?
Mobile app might not use as much data. Not as much time to optimize the connection and really fly.
The pc site may be allowed more bandwidth to get a speedy connection with.
My two cents.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
LTE and wifi are not using the same antenna. MINO is the basic for wifi (N) to achieve higher speed. If you go out and by wireless adaptor. Usually there 2 type of Wifi (N) offer 150N and 300N. The 150N has only one attenna, and the 300N usually has at least 2 or more.
So... still curious, what are others getting on their home wifi?
What is your link speed. My usually at home SD shows 39 or 52 mbit but I have seen 72 too. I dont have internet service fast enough to see if phone is the bottleneck.

When I look at the network in the task manager on windows I believe its actually like 130? Im at work now, have to check when I get home? Is that the correct way to find out?
computer - 32
phone - 27
At home I have 40/20MB and on my phone I get 38/19 at work I have 100/100MB and on my phone I get 85/80MB.

So my link speed right now is actually 144 mbps, though during busy times it might go down to 130. It definitely seems like we are supposed to have better internet because I remember a couple months ago it was only 72. Anyways, what exactly am I doing wrong? Shouldn't I be getting even better than 50mbps on my laptop, at least? Also, my router came from Comcast, do I need to upgrade it to get the full effect or are my laptop and phone somehow limited? At home I'm getting better than 50 on my laptop so shouldn't I be getting 35 or 40 then, no problem, on my Note? It would be aggravating if Comcast was charging me for faster internet but not telling me I needed a new modem to take advantage of it. Actually, more like stupid than aggravating.

Yes you will always loose some throughput over wireless unless you have a beast of a router but plugged in with the hardwire should give you full speed. I would test by hard wiring to the router with your laptop and running a speed test then hard wire to the modem and do a speed test. If both router and modem are the same. Then its a wireless issue.

Well, I'm obviously not going to hardwire my laptop or Note. Would simply spending 50 bucks on a router from best buy, also avoiding a rental fee from comcast, improve my optimal speeds for my laptop and N2?

That's just to trouble shoot if it is your router or modem that is bad so you don't buy a new one when that was not the problem.

Well it's just the normal router that comcast gave us but I believe this was actually the second time we've updated so couldn't it be possible our comcast issued router is outdated? I've never been able to get better on any public wifi. I've just always had this creeping feeling that my account is just old enough to be on a weird plan where I am throttled overall no matter where I'm at opposed to other people. I've just never been able to duplicate the speeds on any phone that other people in my same exact area have. Like I'm handicapped for some reason., I mean, I basically get the same speeds on my N2 that I got on my Sensation, if not lower sometimes, and that just makes no damn sense whatsover. Don't we have a kikass radio over the Sensation?

I'm seeing similar to what you're seeing. I just had Verizon replace my router with a new Actiontec MI424WR which has gigabit & 802.11n. I have FiOS 50/25.
On a laptop running Windows 7 with an Intel 6300n wireless adapter one room away from the router I get 48-55 down. Sitting next to the laptop with the GN2 running ParanoidAndroid 3.15 with the LTE updated modem I get no more than 20 down. If I hold the phone 12 inches from the router in the other room, my Speedtest result hits as high as 33 down. If I take the laptop into the room and run the test next to the router, I consistently see 58 down.
Edit: Prior to getting my router replaced, I had the old Actiontec with 802.11g and if I recall, the laptop & GN2 both got around 12-15 down. Never better. Replacing the router made a huge difference but the laptop saw a high max down.

I thought I read somewhere that wireless N uses less battery??
Now the epic does not have a 5mhz radio...
So if I go buy a 2.4mhz wireless n router, will I see better battery life?

Wireless N is more efficient than A B G. But your still having to transfer a lot of data, so I it all depends on how much you use it really. If you mean compared to using 3g then yes it will use less battery.

Mhm, you'll see an increase in speeds since 802.11n is able to handle more bandwith than 802.11g
And yeah you'll have better battery since its more efficient

Not sure how this will be more efficient if your still running in the same spectrum? The whole point in wireless N is to run in a different spectrum then A B G. 2.4 is full and fragmented unless you have a N capable device it is still going to be in the full and fragmented 2.4 spectrum sorry just doesn't compute for me. If your saying a N router will handle 2.4 better not to sure about that. Unless the Epic is N capable and if that is the case I will be going out to buy a new router
Just my 7 cents worth! Sorry use to be 2 cents but inflation you know.
I have wireless n. On eclair I would see massive difference in using wifi over 3g as far as battery but not on froyo they are about the same now. But speed wise the n is way faster and has really good range too.

From my limited knowledge and experience, it really depends on signal strength. Let's pose an example.
Assume one's 3G signal is 1 bar out of 5, while their 802.11g (Wifi) signal is 5 bars out of 5. Running on Wifi will lead to much greater battery life than on 3G because your connection will be much stronger, i.e. less chance of dropped signal, blah blah, etc.
Now, assume one's 802.11g (Wifi) signal is now 1 bar out of 5, while their 3G signal is 5 bars out of 5. This is iffy territory, but generally one can safely imagine that running on 3G will yield better battery life, simply because the phone is still going to have to work pretty hard to maintain a constant Wifi signal.
Now, move into the realm of 802.11g vs 802.11n. Assume signal strength for both will be equal, either 1 bar out of 5, 2 bars out of 5, 3 bars out of 5, etc. The difference between each signal is efficiency and speed. The faster one can transfer the same amount of data, the less amount of time the phone has to remain in a state of high CPU frequency and heavy load. Furthermore, 802.11n (Wireless-N) is known to have a higher efficiency than 802.11g (Wireless-G), so battery should be saved there, too.
Still, I think it's also safe to say that the difference between a Wireless-G router and Wireless-N router will be about equal in terms of battery life. Maybe you'll get another 15 minutes of battery if you upgrade to Wireless-N. MAYBE. And that's assuming you transfer or download large files on your phone, or listen to lots of Pandora where you're constantly using data. Is it worth it? Will you actually notice that in the real world? Is that assumption even applicable to how you use your phone?
tl;dr - Unless the Wireless-N router's greater range over the Wireless-G router will get you more bars when connected to Wifi on your phone, the difference is likely negligible.
Thanks for the info!!!
Ok so I gather that I won't see a big increase in battery, by buyn a new N router, but I stil might just to add one to my network for stronger signal...
Now I have a large house, 3500sf. I have 3 routers (fios router, one in media closet, one in back side of house) why won't my epic drop the weak wifi, and connect to stronger one? Won't this help battery life?
Also is there a wifi preference order (prefred wifi connection), like on windows?
Right now my routers are just set as access points (not gateways), so my fios router is my dhcp for all wireless routers on the same subnet... currently each router has a different ssid....
Should I set all ssid as the same name, can this help? Or will it just confuse my phone?
Thanks again,
Nathan

2 things you may want to research 1 put your router in the center of your house then range issues are gone. If you cannot put it in the center then look at making the other routers a wireless repeater of the first. Which means they would all put out the same ssid and all be the same wifi connection just repeated from the first router just stronger cuz the 2nd and 3rd routers are transmitting and recieiving data. Now I'm gonna throw in a 3rd option go buy a cisco wireless access point that will have your wifi covered for a qtr mile and has connection speeds of 110mbps rather than 50mbps but that wireless access point is $750
If I do bey an expencive router that has a high output radio, will I have a problem with the router receiving the data packets from my low output epic radio?

Just ran a speedtest off my dualband 150mbps router.
on pc i average: 9 ping, 30.5 mb download and 3.5 upload
on phone just got: 29 ping, 13.5mb, and 3.5 upload
So it's not going to be as fast as your connection if you have a good connection, but if it's a slower connection(10m or so), you oughta be fine.
You have amazing speeds haha.

I have a 15 meg connection, and when I upgraded my router from g to n, I went from getting about 8 meg on the phone to about 12. My new router is a dual band, so that helps too. I live in a crowded wireless area, so channel selection is everything. Luckly there are android apps to help with that. I can't really say if it made much difference in battery life since I change roms too much, but its definately better than the weak 3g signal in my apartment.
P.s. if you're upgrading your router, look at the buffalo wzr-hp-g300nh. Its got dd-wrt, is high powered, and has tons more ram and cpu than anything under $100.

You could try on the ROM to set for one frequency band only instead of Auto. For example, 2.4 and not 5ghz. Also, your Router's admin page could give preference to a particular device with QoS settings.
Maybe reboot the router and cable modem/dsl to see if that might help.
It's a possibility you could try to change the wifi channel you are connecting on as well. It may be set as auto but may get interference. I would only caution, the laptops seems to have higher powered antennas and our phones usually aren't terribly high power so they may have the possibility of being susceptible to more interference whereas the laptop is not.
Get inSSIDer from the play store. It will help you find the best wifi channel.

I turned QoS off, speeds on every other device are great except for the phone itself. Like I said my bro standing next to me and my laptop in my room got around 40mbps (nexus 4) and my laptop got around 46-48 mbps while my S3 was only able to pull near 20mbps. I've tried limiting my frequency scans to 2.4ghz or 5ghz only and have not noticed any differences. Actually 5ghz seems to be slower which is weird since my bro and my phone are the only ones able to connect to that band. You guys think changing wifi drivers would make a difference in my phone? I know different kernels have different wifi drivers built in.

I have 45 Mbps WiFi service here at the house and can verify this over and over with speed tests on my computer and they continually report 40-45 Mbps consistently.

Has anyone else experienced this? Fixes? I am not rooted and completely stock other than apps.
I have 50+ internet service and have no issues maxing it out with my phone. Have you disabled the "Wifi oltimization" under the advanced settings of wifi? If not, try that, mine is unchecked. Note that having it unchecked does use more power.

I had it enabled on my phone. I disabled it and checked the speed. Started off at 23 Mbps then throttled back to 16 Mbps. My Wife has the same phone and I checked her's. She gets the same results. I checked my work laptop right now (Window 7 machine) and got 42 Mbps. I checked my Macbook Pro and got 40 Mbps. Something with these phones isn't allowing the full speed. What doesn't make sense is the fact iPhones work great.

I don't know if you found a solution, but I stumbled upon one tonight...I was having the same issue. The solution sounds weird, but go to settings>location and turn location services off...I did that and instantly hit the speeds my Comcast service advertises. Haven't played around with the different location services settings yet, though.
Edit: I just toggled it off and back on and I'm still getting much better results.

I just hard reset my phone after taking the update to 4.4.2 the other night. This resolved nothing. I did do a speed test and it went to 28 mbps down then throttled back to 15 mbps. I am not sure what the hell is going on here. Only other thing I will try is hooking up my old Wireless N router and see if that communicates better with the phone. If it does then it is something with this new router from AT&T.

Flashed a new Rom and had the same issue. Location services didn't work either...reset my router (it's a pretty crappy one) and that did the trick. Do you have a gateway for uverse? I would definitely put it in bridge mode and hook your router up to it if it is. That's what our IT guy told me to do with my set up and it seems to have better range etc...it's just that I have a POS router hooked up haha.

I reset my old Router (Belkin N+) and hooked that up (used to have my old Uverse gateway hooked up this way) and did a speed test. Same results as before. From what I gather bridge mode isn't enabled on this gateway. It is the new Bonded Pair Modem for use with their Power (45 Mbps) internet service. This is really frustrating the hell out of me.
I was getting the same issue as you are but the only difference is that my fiance's HTC One stock versus mine being rooted stock she was pulling in higher speeds when connected to the same WiFi, when I would start the test it would start out strong and then throttle back down somewhere between 6-9 Mbps when my plan is 50Mbps download and she would be getting 40+ easily ? my has started to catch up now but it's not really consistent. I believe it maybe something to do with my router cause I was at my friends house who also has Comcast and it was pulling faster speeds. But my laptop at home is having no issues with download speeds. This is my most recent speed test I just did about 5 mins ago.

Ended up getting Verizon to let me dump the HTC One and go back to my Galaxy S4. I initially had them allow me to switch from the S4 to the One but now I got them to go back. OMG what a difference. Data is 10X faster on 4G and WIFI hits the full 45mbps of my IWIFI at home. No changes to the router, no resets, just a new different phone.

That sucks you had to switch back to the S4! Haha I'm just playin. I messed around a bit with mine and I'm able to get my max WiFi speed. My coworkers S4 gets slightly slower (not a relevant difference, though) data speeds.

The fastest 4G data speeds I could get with full signal using the One was about 21mbps. I'm at work with 2 bars of 4G and am cruising with 35mbps down. I forgot how much faster this phone was with data. Downtown Houston I pulled in 55mbps down when I had my other one. I'm traveling out of state tomorrow so I can't wait to see how it fairs.

Eek, 21 is pretty slow. I have a feeling it was your phone...I've never pulled that slow in KC. I'm always around 45-50. Either way...at least you've got it worked out!

Just got a blazing fast speed that makes me wonder what the max the phone is capable of.
My test was done on laptop connected to My One via Wifi tether. That was the speed from Verizon towers.

I fell like there is still some confusion. The test was performed on a laptop which was connected to the hotspot of my htc one which was on VZW network.
What is the fastest someone has seen from the towers?
Check this out. It is kind of old but I think the information is still valid.

I wish i got those speeds. I only get arround 8 mbps durring the day, and arround 28 late nights when the network is less congested. My best ever was 32.27 mbps, and that was at 3:30 in the morning.
Theoretical max speed on Verizon's 700 MHz band is 73 Mbps. The One doesn't support the new AWS band like the Galaxy S4 and G2 which can go up to 150 Mbps.
Of course, with Verizon's 4G network as crappy and overloaded as it is right now, you'd struggle to get 10.
I average about 30 in my area and I've had 56 at the highest.

I have seen high 40 to low 50 while driving through Charlotte nc when they first got lte. It's dropped drastically now. Where I live I get 8 to 15 and more than happy with that. Long as hulu and Netflix works all I need.

At my work I get 17-20 consistently. Home will bounce around between 8 and 18. Lowest I have seen without dropping to 3g was a 4 down the street, after having put a custom rom on my phone.
50ish is the most I've gotten so far.

I love that you rounded up, even though you're close to 50

I was getting 25-40 easily. Then the iPhone 5 was released. Now I only get ~ 4-5.
I've definitely seen a reduction of performance over the past year in my area. I could pull 30Mb+ even in a densely populated suburb (Philly metro), but now it struggles to hit 15Mbps in the same spot. Not that I'm complaining.
Max I've ever tested was 55Mbps in a popular mountain resort town during an off-peak season. Hopefully vzw builds out more capacity (per the link above) and keeps the speeds at a satisfactory level, but I don't expect to see 50Mbps regularly.
I just purchased an AC router, and hooked to it with my phone. I do not yet have any other AC devices. Haven't even done any configuration chasing on it yet, just brought it up, hooked phone to it.
I was expecting more speed out of the gate. But I thought I'd check and see if anyone is doing better before I spend a lot of time on it. I'm getting 192mbps.
How about you, when on AC?
[EDIT]
After submitting this post, I realized I may not be on 5G. Checked, wasn't. Not on 5G and getting 780 when in same room. Move one room out, and it drops to 468.

Damn, impressive speeds.
Is that downloads from the Internet? If so, WOW, how are you getting that type of downloads? You at a business maybe...
I have 25Mb connection via Comcast, and I get 30-35 Mpbs, which I'm happy with. I had "...up to 50Mbps" in Lawrence Ks, and never got over 25.
But my Wifi connection is fine. In most places in the house I"m getting over 500Mbps connection, once I moved to 5G.

I get similar with Comcast 105 on N 5G.
