Flashed CM11 last nite and so far it exceeds my expectations except for wifi speeds. I have an ac router and my network speeds are 150mbps down. But on this phone my speed on 2.4ghz tops of at 41mbps (not terrible, a little faster than my old phone) but 5ghz its really struggling. I just tested it at 14 mbps. That's after switching channels on my router before that it came in between 32 and 36. I was expecting it to break 100mbps since my other ac devices consistently clock in at 150 to 165mbps.
Before I start poking around my router settings...anyone else experiencing slower speeds? I didn't try the speed tests on stock fire os so not sure if this issue is restricted to CM or fire phone or if its my network settings. Just looking for others' experiences.

Strange, but my friend has 50Mbit broadband. I did a Speedtest.net on his computer and got 35Mbps as a result. I did the same speedtest on my phone via wifi and it couldn't get past 10mbps (1MB/s) Which is strange as Wireless G is 54MBps, and there were no other devices connected Wirelessly.
Speedtest does not measure speed of your wifi LAN. 54Mbps is max wifi local speed, not the speed at which internet data is actually transferred. So speedtest.net must not show 54Mbps.

Phones are slower than computers while processing the received internet data. That would have caused it to show less speed. IMO 10Mbps is still pretty good for a mobile device with network of 802.11g class.

Phone's are not slower at processing the data from the internet, that's just stupid. It's a simple measurement of speed. And I wasn't measuring the LAN speed, I wanted to measure the speed the phone got via Wi-Fi when connected to a 50Mbit source. The speed hits a virtual roof at 1MB/s and backs off. As in the speed leaps from 0kbs to 800kbs in seconds and works up to 1024kbs the drops back to around 800kbs and slowly works back to 1000kbs but the test ends before this happens and the speed is registered as around 8Mbit.
Even when uploading using Wi-Fi File Explorer the max rate attainable is 10Mbit (1MB/s) even if the network is Wireless G (54Mbps) or Wireless N (150Mbps). Now this is a running a Sensation ROM (RCMix S v2.0) which has updated the Wi-Fi to Wireless N.
Now, my point is, 10Mbps is a good speed, you're not wrong, but why place a Wireless G card into the phone if it will only ever see Wireless B speeds? It wastes radio frequency by being on the 2.4 GHz range when it won't fully utilise all of that. Just seems daft to me. I'm sure a tablet connected to a 50Mbit source would receive closer than my Desire.
I have some CCNA certifications under my belt, so I'm adept at networking, I just thought either my phone was a problem or it was a design. Like you say, 10Mbit isn't to be sniffed at.
Hello! I have a LG G3 since a couple of years ago. I was only able to use its 5ghz wifi since May, because previously I had no compatible router. It was working fine, getting between 150 and 180 mbps in speedtests, with a wifi speed link of 433 mbps. Today I switched from my ISP to another. They provided me a new router, called Livebox Next. It has more or less the same wifi specs as the last one I had, it can handle up to 1300mbps in the 5ghz band with wifi AC. However, my phone is not getting anything near that. My wifi link speed is stuck at 86 mbps. I tried changing the channel of the wifi, but it has no effect. In the speedtests, I have like 10mbps of download speed and about 50-60 mbps of upload speed (weird, isn't it?).
I need your help guys. Connecting in the 2.4 ghz band I get between 30-40 mbps. The technician that installed me the router made his own speedtests in his laptop and he got 300mbps in the speedtest in the 5ghz band so I guess its not the routers fault, something is not right but I don't know what.
Regards.
I have a kind of similar problem as you with the G pad 3 8.0. I get 15-30 Mbps download and 10 Mbps download with an AC 2600 router.
Problem: the download speeds over the 5GHz band are typically an order of magnitude slower than the upload speeds.
I noticed this a couple of weeks ago. When I first got FiOS a couple of months ago, both the download speed and upload speeds were around 60.
The Nexus 5x is running Android 7.1.1.
The router (Verizon FiOS G1100) has 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
The FiOS service is 50 Mbps down / 50 Mbps up.
I ran the following tests (all speeds in Mbps):
- Nexus 5x WiFi 5G: up 60, down varies 1-12
- Nexus 5x WiFi 2.4G: up and down 20
- laptop WiFI 5G: up and down 60
- laptop Ethernet connection: up and down around 60
I tried setting the 5G channel manually, and one time I got 60 down, but that didn't last.
So it looks like the issue is with:
- the Nexus (the laptop is OK)
- 5GHz band (2.4 and wired are OK)
- download (upload is OK)
Any ideas?
Anyone else is seeing this?
TIA
This is a common issue on the 5x. Easy answer, turn on bluetooth and test your wifi's speed again.
Unfortunately, turning BT on didn't make any difference.
So it looks like the issue is with:
- the Nexus (the laptop is OK)
- 5GHz band (2.4 and wired are OK)
- download (upload is OK)
Any ideas?

Could be: the phone (some hardware problem or OS gone crazy), or the router (signal coverage or 5Ghz incompatibility with the 5X)...
Here is mine connected to a Kaon AR4010 router from my provider. On my subscription I have max 300Mbps UP, and 150Mbps DOWN. What's your link speed when connected to the 5Ghz WiFi?
The link speed is the same as yours - 866.
I'm thinking the router is not likely at fault, since the laptop's speed is OK, and even on the phone sometimes I get the normal speed.
Also, what could explain (in theory) the difference between up and down speeds?
Hello,
Does anyone know the theoretical WiFi speed of the SM-T700 in 2.5G and 5G band? Or can someone share his?
Using OOKLA Speedtast, I'm having approx 8-10Mbps under 5Ghz band with mine (similar perf w/ file transfer from a computer on local computer) but I get 40-50Mbps with other connected devices (eg S7E).
I'm not sure if this is due to device capability or ROM issue, so I'd like to know what is to be expected first.
Thanks for your input.
The 802.11AC, which works in the 5GHz bands, gives roughly 100Mbps per stream for a 20MHz wide channel. The Tab S supports two steams and up to 80MHz wide channels, so in theory with the right access point setup, you have theoretical speed of 800-900Mbps. However, in real life wi-fi wastes at least half of its bandwidth on it's own protocols house keeping. So the Tab S should be able to have 200-400Mbps ish link to the router under the optimal conditions. However, the 5GHz band slows down tremendously with the distance or behind the walls. If you're not getting 50Mbps in the speed test, then you're probably far away from the wireless access point, or there is some kind of interference going on. The 2.4GHz band is slower and usually more congested, but it reaches greater distances.
Thanks for the details @Akopps.
From what I observed, the max download speed on my Tab S is averaging 7MBps whereas using my laptop I get at least 20MBps. Same distance from router, located <4m and 2.5m up without obstructions.
So its seems I'm way below theoretical capable speeds but unsure why.
Is this max network speed for a70?
This is screenshoot form wifi settings.
On other phones i get 130mbps.
mine says 65. Ultra slow downloads. Heard some people talkin about using the 5 Ghz band of certain equipped routers or n band. It is just so slow downloading from my wlan I figured it must have something greater wrong with it. Like hackers again...who knows.
This is what mine says
On mine is 72mbps network speed and cant get over 49mbps download speeed on speedtest.net
433Mpbs on 802.11AC for me
I get a picture 130 mbps on my oreo device but both pie devices say 65 mBps.
My 1000/100/10 switch connects ethernet to various devices which easily shuttle the expected 80-130 actual MB/s around of large filetypes.
I don't have any sort of 5 Ghz router just the crappy device that the company sent out. And on that the MAC filter keeps getting disabled which increases my paranoia. Till 2 weeks ago I used the same crappy standard gateway/router for 6 years and frankly it was equal or better experience. At least that one started up reasonably fast. And its MAC filter was always on. But that could just indicate that the neighborhood brats had an easy backdoor to that one and didn't have to brute force off the MAC filter.
In my opinion the MAC filter getting disabled (now a few different times it has happened) indicatives a much much larger problem
I have been intending to get my own personal router for a while but there are too many options so I haven't had the scope to choose one yet.
Other phone in network displays 117mbps and is a Pie.
On same network 2.4ghz on s8,s7 i get 130mbps and on a70 72mbps max.
Just tried 5ghz on same network and got 150mbps it is a little faster.
But on 2.4ghz 72mbps is max.
hi guys
i have also same problem . cannot connect more than 72mbps , with 5ghz 150mbps max . something wrong but i could not find what is the problem .
you guys found any solution ?
mine has 72mb on 2.4 and 433mb on 5g...

i think all a70 phones are like that
I just tested and got 158Mbs with a 5Ghz wifi connection, although only around 60Mps on 2.4Ghz.
Andre
I'll check mine later and see if I can figure out what's happening
Right next to the router I can see 96mbps in 2.4Ghz
Must be something wrong. I got 433mbps.
Nothing is wrong.
The Snapdragon 675 supports 2x2 chains on WiFi, but the A70 only has a 1x1 antenna so it connects at half the speed.
Link speeds on the A70 are as follows:
2.4 GHz = 72 Mbps
2.4 GHz (with 256 QAM) = 96 Mbps
5 GHz = 433 Mbps
On all devices with 2x2 on WiFi, the speeds above will be doubled on those.
These are in ideal network conditions with great signal strength and low interference. These numbers could reduce if you are far from the router.
This is not abnormal. A lot of mid-range devices only have 1x1 for WiFi.
