best way to test for sure would be to put the modem in 5ghz only mode. sucks that if its there you cant configure it in your settings. but then again i'm on a custom rom. So it may be there on stock.

5ghz range on the Note 2 is pretty good depends on your router. my 5ghz is the same in my 2 story house is as my 2.4ghz with my ASUS rt-56u
now my linksys 5ghz router sucks
The real advantage of 5Ghz higher throughput (less noise, depending on where you live) which makes its only advantage is streaming media, file sharing, etc.. 2.4Ghz covers a larger area, and doesn't have near the amount of "dead zones" as 5Gz.
I use both, but when I'm on the other side of my house, the 5Ghz signal is generally -10 to -15dB worse then my 2.4Ghz signal.

It typically appears that way because of the amount of noise on 2.4Ghz. Where I live, in a subdivision, there is absolutely no clean channels. The airways are so clogged because routers can only operate between 11 (I think?) channels. To defend my theory I brought home a spectrum analyzer and was amazed. Every house in this survey is operating a router.
Dual band routers aren't as common, as well as less distance so the noise levels are typically great on 5Ghz. As I said earlier, the only advantage of 5Ghz is if you plan on streaming HD movies (lets say from a media centre to Boxee Box/Apple TV/Roku), or transferring files. 2.4Ghz will do just fine for everything else considering typical internet packages are less then 100Mb always.

HA well there was so much 2.4Ghz noise in my area that I decided to install one of my outdoor radios in my house. They can be configured in such a way that WiFi devices can associate with it.
Needless to say, my wireless range is now 2 Km from my house lol. I'll probably die one day from cancer because of too much RF energy, but so far so good. Wife and I just had baby number 4 so it hasn't done a whole lot yet haha!!

Nope. That's impossible. The radio in the Note is designed to associate to only one access point at a time. Whether it be 2.4 or 5.
It would also be useless. Having a phone locked onto to two ssid's would mean splitting the packets to two locations. Overcomplicated uses ordeal.

I am trying to use a new app (XStream) that supports streaming of Windows 7 Media Center files (.wtv). So far this is the first software I found that supports that (Samsung USA support had no idea). I can record 4 HD cable TV channels (FIOS) at once on my PC. A one hour recording in HD is 5-8GB in size. I figured I needed as much bandwidth as possible to stream that size file.

Multiple connections to the same source does not equal a faster connection. In fact, the overhead and packet loss of two wireless connections would probably deteriorate the connection and, it would probably be slower than a single link.

So full bars of T-Mobile LTE here at work is a dream to download files with.
I usually use Ttorrent pro with my past devices and I would download files at 1.5-2mb per second on LTE.
After getting my Note 3, it seems like all torrent programs max out at a pathetic 14-20 kb/s and average 3-5 kb/s. Hello dial-up speeds!
I tried downloading all the other popular torrent apps and I would get the same result. Bitcoment, utorrent, atorrent ect.
Tried factory resetting the phone, same results.
Put my sim card in my Note 2 for ****s and giggles and low and behold, downloading at 1.5-2 mb/s. Wow.
Is this an issue with 4.3 Android or did Samsung put up some firewall of some sorts crippling my torrent downloads.
I'm Sad.

Yeah I noticed the radio was much stronger on my LG G2. I would get a very good LTE signal at my home on the G2, (which also seemed to have the most bad ass radio on any phone I've used), I thought I was on Verizon for a minute lol.
On my Note 3 I would get 1 to zero bars and it would jump between H+ and LTE at home.

I'm using aTorrent with PIA VPN and getting above 1 MB/s speeds. Perhaps adding "admin" to the APN type would help, but I haven't tested it for torrents, only for vpn.
would be nice to get to the bottom of this definitely making unlimited high speed data less cool.
Then there is the crappy lte reception at my house..

Sprint Spark
Sprint Spark is a super-high-speed capability offering 50-60 Megabits per second (Mbps) peak speeds today with increasing speed potential over time.
Sprint Spark is a super-high-speed capability offering 50-60 Megabits per second (Mbps) peak speedstoday with increasing speed potential over time. Given Sprint’s spectrum and technology assets, it is technically feasible to deliver more than 2 Gigabits per second (Gbps) per sector of over-the-air speed.
Sprint demonstrated 1 Gigabit per second over-the-air speed on Oct. 30 at a Sprint lab near Silicon Valley, Calif.
I got real excited about this also since I'm in Tampa, but I have read in a couple places that you will have to have one 01 the new tri band phones . Iam thinking of leaving Spnnr de to the spotty service and am not sure if I want to renew for another two years to test this out

Yeah its pretty much useless if you dont have a triband phone.
And the only ones that are going to be triband so far are the Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy Mega, LG G2, and the HTC one max....and I think some hot spot devices.
This is good news but im still jumping ship I'll wait till next year or so when they do have their network data on point and better tri band phones as to im not a fan of tge G2 or S4 mini or the mega or htc one max lol. T mobile is great in my area and they are at 20x20 mhz now so im just going to jump ship and get a note 3 on tmobile.

Sorry to burst your bubbles but it wont reach 1gps on devices..... if anyone thought that it may beat Verizons AWS LTE, in select markets. Go to S4GRU.com to learn more information, and upcoming devices, and network info.
No one really needs 1gps bandwidth on their mobile device unless you dont have internet at home even 1gps is still too much for that purpose. With that beign said anything over 100mbps for a mobile device is too much.

famous last words. I remember people saying that one needed 100MB hard drives either back in the 80's. Look at today.
And there is a push going for services provided by the cloud. I can see uses for more bandwidth, and even thought much. The biggest issue I see is more the limitations of the devices because of the hardware or software. Then again, I see smartphones just portable computers with phone service.
And even, and if, the service does hit, doesn't mean that the we're getting reliable and steady 1G throughput. I see it more as overall, we're going to be more bandwidth. And since it's suppose to be triband and switch quickly, hopefully that helps in the reliability, maybe even maintain, higher bandwidth.
I'm ditching Sprint as soon as my contract is up, fed up of no LTE in my area when everything else has LTE. Without wifi my phone is useless with slow sprint data speeds.

Well... While I think 1Gbps is unrealistic down or up at the moment for an individual phone.... I do expect the backhauls for Tri-band LTE towers are being upgraded to 1Gbps. Japan has proven that there's a market for it with speeds as high as 150Mbps down (per phone!) so I certainly believe we're slowly heading that way. In addition, by moving up to that high of a backhaul now it should potentially avoid serious upgrades like they are doing now for a few years at least.

To be fair...on has to remember why "4G LTE" is called "LTE". Because the actual 4G standard requires 1Gbps in low mobility applications (stationary, walking speeds) and 100Mbps for high mobility. The "LTE" moniker was created to bridge the gap until actual 4G tech like this came around.

Sadly I think we're still a way from there - even "LTE-A" will probably not reach that goal. Part of it is a lack of global 1Gbps global tunnels except in academia.... so even if you get 1Gbps local it may not do much if the file is hosted on a T1 equivalent line.
Considering what Comcast charges for their 100mbps service, I don't think that this will be something that will be covered under the $100 everything plan...
So this mean our Note 3 wouldn't have that capability?

Many have this issue and many do not. What I can tell you from first hand experience is this.
You will complain to Sprint for about three weeks. Make several visits to a store and finally if you are lucky you will get to talk to their top tier tech support. That tech will tell you that according to a log that only the techs at that level can see, that Samsung has reported that a certain number of Note 4 phones are having issue connecting to Sprint towers and need to be reflashed.
This reflash is not a USB operation but JTAG operation and requires it to be done by a Samsung service center. I was lucky as their is one just 20 minutes from my apartment in Plano. So I got a service number from Samsung support over the phone and took it in. They kept it for 3 hours, ran diags and reflashed and said nothing is wrong with it. Ran a speed test there and 27/15. Got home and was back to maybe 1/.05. According to their coverage map and the position of my home tower as they call it I am in the heart of SPARK but still get only these speeds.
So in a Nutshell Sprint will tell you the phone has an issue Samsung needs to fix. Samsung will tell you there is no issue with the phone and the problem is the Sprints towers and network. Neither company wants to fess up as neither wants to take the backlash when it goes public that Samsung released a certain number of crap phones for once and that Sprint not only bought them but resold them with full knowledge of them being defective.

How are they losing money when they will not let you return it for a refund? The best they will do is give you another Note 4 like they did for me and it too still has the same issue. I can tell you it is not the tower as my brother has an S4 and the exact same plan and his phone right next to mine in my coffee table was getting 15MB/s while my N4 was getting 1MB/s.

Same thing on 2 note 4 in my house... S4 gets 10 MEG, note 4 gets 3G... Like dialup modem... The tech said to set Spark plug gap to factory spec and restart device to effect Spark speed of 0.01 Meg to 50 Meg. If that dosnt work he said look for a wifi source to use which helps keep the network faster. Amazing people still have access to such slow data speed, thanks Sprint!
For me it's bars. 1 or 2 bars At my place but 5 or 6 with Note 3. So some of us can agree there is an issue but is there a fix?

Like I said in the previous thread, neither want to make the call and accept responsibility. So no there is no fix as long as both companies deny an issue.
I bet it depends on which city you're in and how far along the Sprint Spark rollout is. The note 4 is triband (spark compatible) while the previous notes are not.
When I got the LG G2 (triband) my 4g speeds were bad compared to my previous single band phone. A few months later, the speeds got significantly better due to the rollout.
My note 4 speeds are really good as well.

Based on Sprint my home tower which is just a few blocks from here is a SPARK tower and supposed to be fully provisioned but if it is, then that still leaves the phone as being the issue.
If the phones data header in it's radio is programmed wrong with the wrong providers header which is done by Samsung then Sprint towers will not identify the phone correctly as being SPARK enable. The phone will connect to the LTE signal for a moment but since the tower can't ID it as a SPARK/Sprint device the tower then drops it to the 3G band which is what happens with most of the complaints.
It will hold the LTE signal for a little bit after rebooting or turning on and turning off airplane mode. But then it will drop the 3G with in minutes and stay there. The phone as it is operates just like a phone that has been unlocked and is being used on a network that does not support it's high speed bands. That is why i suspect the ID header in the radio has been programmed to another provider and not Sprint by accident.
If some one has JTAG equipment and a known problem phone they might be able to prove this or if they have a way to see what the phone is identifying itself as when connecting to a tower we might can prove this is the case.
^^What you are talking about was the exact thing that happened to my LG G2 where it would drop to 3G and not go back to 4G without either an airplane mode cycle, reboot, or update PRL. It was fixed when sprint upgraded its towers near my house beyond just being Spark enabled. It has something to do with an eCSFB issue that is being slowly fixed across the nation. More info is on the s4gru website.

i went through everything that you all went through from phone swapping to software upgrade and downgrade, SIM card replacement, all levels of tech support and they still all claim they never heard about it.
No matter what happens, i am either 1 bar or on 3G (more than 90% of the time).
say it a loud on twitter and Facebook(not sure about their Facebook page).
Does any one know if this is specific to the Note 4. My wife and both have the Note 4 and are constantly on 1 bar. My wife said she has already missed calls. Good news is we are still in our 14 day period where we can return for another device.

Does any one know if this is specific to the Note 4. My wife and both have the Note 4 and are constantly on 1 bar. My wife said she has already missed calls. Good news is we are still in our 14 day period where we can return for another device.

Sigh... Same place... other phones don't have this issue?
What type of case are you using?
What changes if any have you made?
Using the Verus case found on Amazon, running OB7 with custom kernel flashed in TWRP.

Did you have this before the kernel change or before you got the case ?
Actually I just got the case last night, been running the kernel since Monday.

My wife's phone is completely stock out of the box and she also has the same issue.

I was amazed at my HTC One M9 hitting over 70mbps never in my life seen speeds like this! Unbelievable what are your highest scores guys?
I can get 180Mbps over WiFi
3Mbps, third world problems.
Here's mine on a Wireless-N router.
That's the maximum I got on my 4G LTE network.

That is decent, was that the end result though or a fluctuation within the test? I can see that it's not actually completed.
If that's legit then that's superb mate, not doubting you but i'm on EE myself and i live in central london, most i've had really is around 80 which to be fair is pretty amazing considering 0.5mb broadband used to cost £40 not long ago.

Sat in the office, blocked by buildings at the moment. EE in central London.

You aren't relying upon a wireless connection.. Wired will always be faster, no matter what the delivery system.

Thats crazy! WTF I didnt know it was possible to have such speeds. I thought there was a cap in the internet speed of the phone itself
