Slow wifi link speed - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

WiFi on gingerbread

In testing speeds today with the speed test app, I noticed that my 3g speed tripled from .5 mbps to a little over 1.6 mbps. I turn on WiFi got a good signal, says its connected at 54 mbps to the router, run the speed test and get 5.1 mbps. Ran it 3 more times and same result. I take my wifes epic connected to the same router and get 12-14 mbps which is what it should be since we have 15mbps cable internet service. Is this a known issue with the EVO or is something wrong with mine? I searched and all I could find was something about getting wireless n and how gingerbread removed it or something but I couldn't find anything saying it limited the WiFi down to less than 10 mbps. It's a stock EVO with gingerbread. I was an unlucky person who got it new with 2.3.3.
who cares what this says anyways
not sure but i have the same problem on every rom i flash..my router throws out 20-23 mbps and my evo only picks up 5 to 7 mbps..kinda makes me mad but i guess evos have a weak wifi radio

WiFi a little slow for me

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.

Throughput on Wifi sucks

Copying files across wifi, SMB fileshare. Note 3 - 3-5MB/sec (yes, MB, not Mbit). Note 7 - 500-700KB/sec. Both show similar wifi connection rates at 144 Mbit/sec.
Anyone else seeing crappy throughput on wifi?
No, mine is not that bad. I just did a speedtest.net on a 100 Megabit down 10 megabit up connection and got 50 megabits down (best the router will do in all honesty) and the full 10 megabits up. That roughly translates to 5 Megs a second down and 1 Up. I have read others complain about the speed though.
What app are you using to measure the speed?
I've got cox, pay for the premier package and its supposed to max out at 150mbps download and I believe 10mbps upload. Early mornings (2am or so) I see speeds on my 5ghz network (using an Arris SB 6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Modem and a ASUS RT-68P AC 1900 Wireless Router) well into the 190mbps range on my Note 7, highest I've had so far is 193mbps download. I consistently hit 10mbps upload but when it first starts out it pulls into the 25mbps range and slows down to the 10-13 mbps range upload.

Wow cox is really still shafting people on upload. So glad fios came into my area.

Yeah lol the upload is nothing exciting, it's nice to see it jump into the 20+mbps range for about 10 seconds or so then throttle down around 10-13mbps. But I'm happy hitting over 150mbps later at night. But my Note 7 has been just as fast, if not slightly faster than my Note 4 was with throughput.

slow download speeds over WiFi 5Ghz

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)

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?

A70 wifi network speed

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.

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.
