Slow WiFi connection

I have noticed that my G2's WiFi connection runs VERY slow. I get speeds of 2mb/s while on a computer I get 25+mb/s. I get the same ping on both devices. Is this a hardware or software limitation that can be solved by a kernel fix?

There is a thread about the G2/DZ having WiFi antenna issues. This happens when you use the phone in landscape mode. Signal bars drop significantly. In my case, I got totally disconnected (but I had poor WiFi signal strength that time). However, when I remove my hand from the top part of the device, signal strength and speed return. This could probably be your issue, since I really get good speed from my DZ. I could even stream movies over WiFi.
Do you have wifi calling enabled? Try disabling it and restarting. You'll likely see regular speeds again. Works for me every time.

Nope, I will be looking at the bcm4329 source when I get my computer running to see if I can boost the speed a little.
This may also be a router combatibility problem. So we can narrow it down can people post this:
Router brand/model
Wireless B/G/N
Wpa wep or no security
Hidden access point (yes/no)
And if you are having problems

Router brand/model: Airlink 300N
Wireless B/G/N: Wireless N
Wpa wep or no security: WPA
Hidden access point (yes/no): no
And if you are having problems: Only when wifi calling is enabled. Must disable that and restart in order to get expected speeds. For example, it drops from standard 12mbit to like 1mbit.
Oh yeah forgot to post mine...
Airport Extreme
Wireless N
WPA2

I have the same problem with my G2.
Wi-Fi is on all the time when I'm at home, as is Wi-Fi calling because the signal is very weak here. When I first connect to Wi-Fi it's very fast. Normally I get approximately 17mbps down, 3.5mbps up. However, it seems like the connection "goes stale" after a while and I end up only getting about 2-3mbps both up and down.
It's not consistent though. Sometimes it gets slow right away, other times it will take a couple hours. But it always drops to the 2-3mbps range consistently. Plus I always have issues with the connection after it drops in speed: No connection errors, sometimes unresponsive, etc.
To fix it I simply turn Wi-Fi off and back on, but that gets to be a hassle because I have to do it every time I want to use my phone.
It has nothing to do with holding the phone in vertical or horizontal orientation, or signal strength, because even when I'm using the phone right next to the router it still happens. I never had this issue with my Cliq, but it didn't have Wi-Fi calling, which I'm thinking is the cause. Though I haven't tested it to see if it still happens with Wi-Fi calling off.
It happens with any ROM, though currently running CM7 Nightly 27.
Anyone have an explanation, or a solution?
Update: After testing it seems to only happen when wifi calling is enabled. Although I have to turn wifi off and back on to fix it. Simply turning off wifi calling doesn't fix it.

[Q] GALAXY NEXUS network connection type confusion

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? My phone seems to get confused about if it should be connected through wifi or 3g/4g for data. For example, if I am at home and connected to my wifi, then get in the car and leave without disabling wifi, the phone acts as if it does not recognize the 3g/4g connection at all. It will just tell me I have no network connection since I am out of range of wifi. Same happens when I am connected with 3g/4g and I walk/drive by a wifi area and I do not join the network. The open app that is using data will then loose its connection and tell me there is no network connection. Simply disabling my wifi and restarting the app does not work. I often have to reboot the phone or turn off my mobile data signal and then enable it to establish a connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this problem also, I will have something like streaming music playing then when I am out of range of wifi it dose not go to 3g on verizon. If I don't have any thing using wifi and disable it before going out of range and starting a stream no problem, but when it happens I switch to airplane mode then back and it works fine.
Your not the only one who has this problem.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Same here. Not sure what's causing it. I have to go into airplane mode, which itself seems to take ages, and then turn off airplane mode to establish 3g connection.
I thought it may be a mess up from aokp, and after a clean wipe and flash it seemed fine, but then started showing the same behavior , failing to comnect to 3g after exiting wifi zone.
Does anyone have an answer for this problem? Is it a hardware glitch or software or app caused problem?
Any help would be dearly appreciated too!

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear it doesn't seem like a hardware problem, though I have yo admit I didn't see it on the aokp wikis ... Would you know if it's a problem for an unknown minority our a more general one?
So, I guess, then stock room should be fine? I was only on stock for a few days before flashing aokp. Going back would be a nuisance, but if I can have armless transition from wifi to 3g, then I guest I should -( ...
Any talk on when it may be solved in the aosp community?

I seem to be cutting out on wifi calls

A couple friends have complained I cut out while on wifi calling. I don't notice them dropping. Any ideas?
I'm on Darkside 2.5.1, my network hardware is...connected to Linksys E3000 operating as an AP, upstream is a Linksys E4200, Cox is my ISP 25 Meg circuit. Ping times over the same wifi connection are always under 35ms.

I had that happen when I would walk to far away from the Router...is this happening when your standing close to it? Seems odd for sure.
Kinda off topic but have u noticed voice lag when using wifi calling?
I have stopped using wifi calling as the voice lag is disturbing compared to using the cell network which has no voice lag issues.. Makes zero sense to me.

I havent noticed any lag, just apparently cutting out. Im not far away from my router either...full signal. Im going to try an experiment and connect to the main router upstairs instead of my AP downstairs...maybe something in that connection is causing it.
I've had problems when using a bluetooth headset while on wifi calling. This happens on stock and on both roms I've tried. I don't have trouble with wifi calling as long as I stay off of the headset.

I've experienced the same issue but always blamed it on my Internet connection.

Its not the internet connection, for some reason the current ROMS dont play well with wifi sharing, or should I say Wifi and Data connection. I was running Juggernaut5.0 when I noticed that the wifi would stop working after 15mins. I also used All Share and it at the same time wifi calling would stop working. I also noticed when I woke the phone from sleep state, the 4g symbol would return and then I would loose wifi calling. The 4g would disappear and only wifi would show but calling still wouldnt connect. I returned to my nandroid of the stock rooted and I havent had an issue since. Wifi calling will always work along with allshare. One thing that I did notice is that airplane mode would help keep the consistency across the board. IDK
P.S. my gateway is in my bedroom where I mainly use my phone. Most of the time its in arms reach, sits right next to my xbox
Well I set my phone to connect to my main router upstairs instead of the AP downstairs. It seems to have helped a bit. Friends reported far less cut outs. Only a couple in a 20 min call.
Perhaps there are others with similar set up having similar issues this may help.

Wifi calls.....

Any calls made over wifi on my note 3 sucks even used third party apps as well but on my note 8.0 wifi calls works good.. I tried few methods to fix it and nothing... Any help??
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Suck how? poor voice quality or dropping connection mid sentence and telling you signal is weak, when you stand 2 ft from router?
I had second one: GS3 worked fine, data worked good, but Wifi calling just didn't work on Note3.
After someone's suggestion from here I checked my router, it had auto update off, I changed that to on, verify manually I'm on the latest router firmware and it works like a charm ever after.
If it's the first one, yeah, it could sound better and I hear HD voice does not work yet, so once Tmo fixes that, should be much better, at least between sets supporting it.

Poor voice quality and dropping connection. I stand next to router still the same. So your saying auto update my router firmware and turn auto update on? And your note 3 wifi calls work? Can you give me the steps how to do that and does it interfere with any other devices connected to the router? Thanks...
Router shows firmware is up to date and still I'm having wifi call problems

My note 3 forces my calls over wifi any time it's connected to wifi even when I disable wifi calling or set it to cellular preferred.

WIFI speeds when bluetooth on/off

So I got my 5x last week (comming from N5) and I noticed that websites and apps such as twitter and facebook load very slow over wifi. I did a little research and rooted my phone multiple speedtests and figured out that there is some issue where wifi speeds are slow but if you turn bluetooth on they speed up. so i tested this and its true. it does not seem to affect speedtests but it does speed up normal browsing and app performance a lot. i noticed with bluetooth off im getting about (5-6Mb/s) and with bluetooth on im getting around 50-60Mb/s (my connection is 60Mb/s).
my question is does anybody know whats going on here? And is there a way of fixing it?
I dont have any issues with my wifi reception or wifi speeds. No change with BT on or off. On the contrary my wifi speeds and reception are the best I had with with N5X than with any device before. I have two Huawei routers, 20Mbps connection and both are on 2,5GHz bands.

HI All!
I have also the same problem, but when WiFI& BT working togheter - there is no issue.....Normally, I am connected Huawei E5372 ( mobile router ). Today I connected my Nexus 5x to another router and unexpectedly...problem's gone!
It looks like Nexus 5x's radio have some compatibilty issues with some routers.
I hope Google will find&fix this bug ASAP!

Yes I also tried switching routers and it seems to resolve the issue. So I think you might be right in thinking the 5x having issues with some router radios
