Hi, i was just wondering what kind of wifi speeds you guys have with your g pads?
I am trying to stream HD movies with a xbmc / yatse combination however the tablet keeps buffering.
If i have the tablet 1m from my router it cannot auto negotiate to more than 72mbit and if i do a test with jPerf on a computer en iPerf from markedet i cannot get more than 15 Mbit/s @ 1m and excelent signal (-20/-30dB)
If i use a dlink n port USB dongle from a laptop it gets 150Mbit/s
I have tested with 3 different routers with the same resultall setup for speed with n only, wmm, best channel and so on)
*D-link DIR-665
*Zyxel 300mbit n somthing
*Linksys EA6900
I also tried a simple download from my NAS and speedtest.net to ensure iPerf was correct.
Has anyone one experienced the same problem on CM11 or other roms?
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a Plasma tv Samsung PS50B850, with its wifi USB key. I'd like to stream my 720p video taken with SGS via DLNA to the 50' tv. Actually I can do it only through a wifi router. The problem is that the router doesn't support wifi/n but only b/g and the result is not good: video are not smooth and they keep on stopping/playing.
It would be better to connect SGS to tv wifi key directly, in order to use wifi n type connection, but I wasn't able to see the tv network on my SGS. I also tried with an ad hoc connection, but no way.
Is there someone with the same equipment that can help me?
Thx so much!
Just to report that dlna is a lot bette with Eclair. I just tested it with JM5 and even if I am with 108 Mbps LAN and g class for wifi (no n class), HD video are played smoothly, without skipping.
I have purchased a NETGEAR PTV3000 (Push2TV) device.
Device: NETGEAR Push2TV
Firmware: v2.4.26
WiFi: 2.4 & 5GHz 300Mbps 802.11
Standards: Miracast Certified
Device: XPERIA M
Phone Model: C1905
Firmware: 15.1.C.2.8 (Android 4.1.2), 15.4.A.0.23 (Android 4.3)
NETGEAR PTV3000 provides miracast(wireless) connection to an HDMI audio/video device.
The PTV3000 consists of an HDMI port and a mini-USB power port.
There is a reset button and a Push2TV side button.
One can connect to the PTV3000 for firmware upgrades, but there is no further configuration (that I know of) beyond that.
I used the following test output devices:
• Sony Bravia HDTV with PTV3000 connected via a 4 port HDMI switch (Limited HDMI ports available on TV)
• Dell 24" Full-HD IPS monitor using a HDMI port
An XPERIA M (C1905) can pair and connect to the PTV3000 easily from the Settings -> Xperia menu
There is some lag when streaming 576i TV to a Full-HD IPS monitor, but still very watchable.
To be fair, the WiFi is doing 'double' the workload in this setup.
• Stream 576i TV to the phone via 5GHz 150Mbps WiFi.
• Output audio/video to the Full-HD Monitor, again via WiFi.
Audio is passed via Miracast and is only heard at the end HDMI display device.
Any display/audio settings are changed/managed on the XPERIA M.
Streaming a video or viewing a picture is very acceptable, but the Android UI can look a bit ragged due to the resizing of the 480x854 screen.
One VERY good thing about this whole setup is that I was able to connect to the Internet via WiFi(5GHz in my case) while at the same time having video/audio steamed to the output display.
I was able to add a USB Logitech Unifying adapter which supports a Keyboard and mouse.
This effectively gave me a mini PC setup with monitor,keyboard and mouse.
Using a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard would also allow a USB power adapter to be connected.
Watch out for excessive heat if power is connected while using Miracast as the phone will get very hot..
Overall I'm very happy with the display on the output monitor and the general functionality.
Wifi direct 5ghz?
Does anybody knows if i use wi fi direct with 5ghz , intead of 2.4 ghz, could it reduce the lag while playing fast games like need for speed?
I have a MOTO X, so the only way to see the phine screen on tv is wifi direct or miracast

Yes that's correct.
5GHz in close proximity 3-5m with no walls in the way, will give you a connection speed of 150Mbits on a 40MHz channel and real data throughput up to 109Mbits on an XPERIA M(C1905)
Mostly I observe a real data speed of ~90Mbits
5GHz uses a 40MHz channel width to achieve higher speeds.
2.4GHz only uses a 20MHz channel width and has a maximum connection speed of 72Mbits and a real data throughput of approx. 35Mbits using an XPERIA M(C1905)
So in summary
5GHz is faster at closer ranges.
2.4GHz gives you greater connection distances, but lower data throughput at closer distances.
That said, you have to consider the display is only working within the limits of the Miracast/WiFi-Direct implementation of the TV/device you're connecting to.
So even on 5GHz the WiFi-Direct implementation could be considerably gimp'd.
Many Miracast/WiFi-Direct implementations only support 2.4GHz (TVs etc..)
The Netgear PTV3000 struggles to provide 720p visuals to a TV/Monitor.
I don't see this as optimal in a fast response environment like gaming.
Hello everyone
im having a problem with my phone its a F240L and i can just connect to A in 5Ghz and G in 2.4Ghz (based on 54mbps max speed)
but if put the router in N only mode i just cant connect
Right now the router is on B, G and N on 2.4Ghz and A and N on 5Ghz
If i connect wirelessly on the pc i can connect normally and up to 300 mbps
but in the phone only goes to 54mbps
Itried everything that i know and searched here in the forum and on internet but i cant find the awnser
Please help and thanks
My wifi on my tabpro 8.4 is fine until I connect my Bluetooth game controller to it.
It only affects the 2.4ghz part of the card though. i ran some tests and with the bluetooth controller turned off, my 2.4ghz wifi signal was perfect. As soon as i connected the controller, it seems to interfere and all the 2.4ghz wifi signals in my area disappear and reappear every 10 seconds.....as soon as i turn the pad off they all stay there indefinitely.
the pad does not affect 5ghz signal though.
i wonder if there is a fix for this or if it is just a hardware issue?
I know it is just this tab as when i run the same tests on my galaxy s5 there is not interference from the BT controller
Can anyone help me?
I just got a keyboard and mouse, bluetooth. They work awesome but they kill the WiFi on 2.4ghz. I don't have a 5ghz access point at home and none of the places I'd use it have 5ghz right now so it sucks. I'm guessing that no one responded because I don't think k it matters if you're on an ios, Android, or Windows system they both run on 2.4 and conflict and cause issues. Bummer.
Bluetooth runs on the 2.4Ghz frequency and does channel hopping (it's supposed to detect the in use frequencies though) if the game controller is old (pre BT3) it might disable some functions that allow BT to Coexist with wifi on the 2Ghz band, I did a quick test with my BT music receiver (BT 4.0) and switched to my 2Ghz wifi AP I didn't notice any interference, I'll test my ps3 controller later when I get back home to see how that functions.
BTW I suggest keeping it on 5Ghz if you have an 802.11AC router since you can get a link rate up to 433Mbps , N networks only connect at 150Mbps with this tablet .

He said he doesnt have 5ghz mate

Hi, recently I have noticed that my wifi speeds are dropping to around 15-30Mbps download and 10 Mbps Upload compared to what I usually get (200/20). All my other Android devices connected on the same AC Network got speeds up to 300Mbps/20Mbps and only the G pad gets 15-30 Mbps / 10 Mbps on speedtests on with the same server.
Things I have tried:
Rebooting Router
Factory Reset Router
Both enabling IPv6 and disabling
Setting a static IP on tablet
Factory Reset Tablet
I am currently using TP-LINK Archer C2600 Router.
Any Suggestions? Thanks!
