On my PC I get 50 Mbps. On my AT&T M9 I get
7.37.
I used my some M8 and I get 17±.
Any ideas what is causing this ?
Do you have WiFi optimization on? I believe it slows down WiFi speeds. Its in WiFi>advanced

I am using the Wifi tether app, but seem to be getting reduced speeds for whatever reason. When I run a speed test on my Evo I typically get 1+ MBps for download, but when I run a speed test on my computer I get something like .3 MBps (sometimes it peaks a bit higher, but rarely.)
I am running on a roaming network if that matters, and have rooted for the app via unrEVOked.
Are there some sort of settings that I need to change?
I also seem to get long periods of what I can only call my data timing out where it will not let me upload or download. It goes away on it's own after a while though.
Easy tether seems to work fine....
I just upgraded to a rooted Stock Froyo release (3.26.651.6) and while the 2.0.5-pre07 Android tether works, I don't seem to get the good download speeds when I connect my laptop to it.
So the tether application shows speeds of 4-5 Mbps on the phone screen, but when I wirelessly tether to it and run a speed check on my laptop, i barely get 1Mbps, sometimes even around 500kbps. In fact this problem was even worse when I was on the earlier Android release on the phone. It has improved since the Froyo upgrade, but is nowhere close to the speeds that I would like
Any ideas if this is normal? Or am I missing something here?
what speed test are you using?
I know when I was rooted with 2.1 I was getting around 5-6mbps when using wireless tether with my laptop
2.2 opened rooted 2mbps usb tether 6mbps

I get anywhere from 2Mbps to 6.7 Mbps depending on location. (that's on 4g)
I'm seeing the same thing as darth. Speed tests (the speakeasy one) gives anywhere from 5 to 10 mbps on my phone but on the laptop its around 1 to 1.5. I wonder if encryption has anything to-do with it, I run the WiFi tether app on wpa2 aes with a not-so-short key. Maybe the encryption and the heavier processing slows it down? I'll test without encryption and post the results in a couple of hours.

The funny thing is if I share my internet connection using USB on 4G to my laptop, the speed is around 5 Mbps. So the slow speed is isolated to the wireless tether app and across all devices I connect to it.
On 3g with wifi tether pre7 i just did 1.7 meg down, and 0.34 meg up.

Yes, I tried again without encryption and that does not seem to be the slowing factor. 4g tethered using WiFi tether app gives 1mbps download and 200k up. On 3g, the tethering app gives 250k download and 20k up.
When I do the same speed test directly from the phone, it shows 5mbps down and 1mbps up on 4g, and 500kbps down and 50kbps up on 3g. So its definitely the app. But since this is a preview, I'm pretty sure the devs will get around to fixing it before too long.

I've been tethering my Evo 4G for about a year now and all of a sudden, a few days ago, I noticed my WiFi tether speeds dramatically decreased, especially when 4G is turned on. When I run speedtests directly on my Evo 4G I would get an average of 6 Mbps download and 1.4 Mbps upload. When I run speedtest.net on my laptop that is WiFi tethered I would get an error "Configuration Load Failed" and my browsing is extremely slow. I tried my desktop computer and got the same error message and dialup like browsing speeds. I tried tethering my iPad and another Evo 4G and the speedtest app resulted in ridiculously low speeds like 0.04Mbps download but a normal 1.4 Mbps upload speed.
I've been tethering my Evo 4G with 3 devices on a daily basis and used to get an average of 3 Mbps download and 1.4 Mbps upload speeds at my office. Is it possible that the built-in WiFi router is defective now?
A couple of other unusual changes that I noticed within the past few days:
- My 4G speed on the phone itself is faster now at my office. I used to average 2-3Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload at work every day. Now I've been clocking at an average of 6 Mbps download and 1.45 upload. Maybe Sprint improved service in my area?
- I checked my latest Sprint bill and noticed I used an unusual and huge amount of 4G data last month. I used to average 2-3GB of data per month but this September I used 12.2GB. I was shocked when I saw that. I don't think I'm being throttled because my phone is still running fast on 4G.
- My billing cycle starts every 3rd of the month (about the same time the slow WiFi tether problem started)
- I started getting "Low Internal Storage Space" messages
I've been searching other threads with Slow WiFi Tethering problems and so far I've done the following in attempt to troubleshoot and still got the same slow speeds:
- Wiped Cache Partition and Wiped Dalvic Cache using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5. I read somewhere in the forums that this may increase 4G speeds. This did free up some memory and cleared up my "Low Internal Storage Space" message.
- Moved the 'fixroute.sh' file to another location (as instructed from another thread)
- Uninstalled and reinstalled WiFi Tether 2.0.5 (been using that since last year), WiFi Tether 2.0.7. (Same results), and WiFi Tether 3.1. Beta 6 (Does not work)
- Tried 4G at home and friend's house about 5 miles away and got the same sluggish results.
I'm wondering if anyone else has a similar problem where their WiFi tethering just stopped working as fast as it used to and what did they do to fix it? Is this a hardware problem?
By the way, I'm on a rooted stock 2.2 ROM, Pri 1.40_003
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Update:
My phone is still suffering from slow 3G/4G wireless tether today in Brooklyn, NY with 0.08 Mbs down / 1.76 Mbs up.
This past Saturday I did notice that while I was in South Amboy, NJ, I was able to wireless tether 4G signal at about 2.16 Mbps down / 0.73 Mbps up. Speedtests were about the same on the phone itself and on my laptop. Why was I able to tether faster there made me even more puzzled and ruled out that my phone's built in wifi router is defective.
I'm hoping I can get this fixed soon. I have no clue what else I can do to get my wireless tethering back up to speed...
Update:
2 days ago I followed instructions on how to fix download speeds by editing the phone's HTTP PD Proxy Port & HTTP PD Proxy Address.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922978
After applying the changes I instantly got my WiFi tether speeds back! I ran speed tests on my ipad and was able to get as high as 5 Mbps down and 1.4 Mbps up. I waited until the next morning to try it at work (where I mainly tether) and to my disappointment my speeds were back to slow 0.1 Mbps down and normal 1.5 Mbps up. I checked my proxy settings to see if they reverted back but nothing changed. I then went back home and found that my tether speeds were slow there as well. This was really bothersome! I then decided to give up for now and just tether on 3G for now.
This morning I stumbled across another thread on filterproxy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966418
I followed the instructions and was successful in tethering at 4G speeds! Whew! My speedtest's results:
Ping 353 (This increased dramatically. I normally get 75)
Download Speed 5.14 Mbps
Upload Speed 1.33 Mbps
I'll keep running speedtests though out the day and see anything changes. Hopefully this filterproxy solution will hold up. It's an extra step to configure my browsers to use the proxy whenever I tether but I won't complain because I got my 4G speeds back (For now).
My question for now is... How come I was able to run wifi tether without all these problems for over a year and then all of a sudden run into these problems?
I hope this helps anyone else who has slow tethering over 4G problems.
Hey guys, was wondering if anybody had the same problems as I do, I currently have a 5ghz N router, but the speeds on the tablet are reporting only 24 Mbps at max bars. Using CM11-linaro. My laptop an every other device shows better performance, heck my roommate also has a stock gpad, which shows 72-100 Mbps at full bars. I've tried flashing my tablet multiple times, but stock only gives me great wifi. Also, after long periods of time, the wifi will cut off on the tablet and all attempts to refresh it in the settings are useless and unresponsive until I reboot it completely. Anybody have any Idea?
Hi, facing a strange issue, the issue is when I use 4G or 3G on phone I get good speed around 15Mbps to 18Mbps, while sharing the Internet to Laptop by USB tethering I get full speed, but whereas while sharing the Internet over Wifi Tethering, it seems like the speed is getting restricted to max 4Mbps-5Mbps. Any help with this matter will be appreciated. Thanks
pl check if you have not enabled data saver mode or have divided the internetnet connced devices speeds.. For all folks pl check developer mode.. or use #*#*4636#*#* from your diler pad.
