I seem to be having an issue with the Xperia devices in the household. At the moment I have an XA1 Ultra, XA and an X all of which have link speeds to wifi at either 65Mbps, 72Mbps or 75Mbps however my Samsung devices i.e S4, S5, S6, S6 Edge all of have link speeds of 120-150Mbps.
I have a DLink router that supports N type wireless networks and I have it currently configured to 40MHz only in the 2.4GHz band instead of 20MHz as is evident from the Samsung devices working at the proper link speeds.
I use my android devices as FTP servers to do local transfers within the network so 65Mbps isn't too good. Is there any solution for this?
[Edit]
I forgot to mention, all the devices have 100% signal because they're all within the same room as the router.

802.11n includes a number of "optional" features, so how much of it does the Galaxy Nexus actually implement?
My Wifi router supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously with different SSIDs, but the Galaxy Nexus only ever sees the SSID of the 2.4GHz AP. So I suppose it does not support 802.11n in the 5GHz band?
Also, even when standing right next to the router, it showed only a 65Mbps connection. Shouldn't that go to at least 150Mbps? And actually higher if MIMO is supported?
If the Galaxy Nexus' "802.11n" doesn't support anything better than 2.4GHz band with 65Mbps, it's a fake - 802.11g does 2.4GHz/54Mbps, so the "802.11n"-support boils down to be effectively nothing.
Has anyone managed to get better Wifi results with the Galaxy Nexus?
i think the gnexus is only supposed to support 2.4ghz band if i remember correctly. i get the same, 65mbps. all is good though i get great speeds and more distance. if 5ghz is in the hardware then software doesn't support it yet.
It does support 5ghz. Go to settings and then press wifi. Press the menu on the bottom right and select advanced. Then, wifi frequency band.
Weird... My WNDR3700 running DD-WRT is setup for 2.4 and 5GHz... My MacBook Pro is connected to the 5GHz SSID, but that is not displaying on my available wireless networks on my GNex...
The wifi settings are set to "auto", but even when set to only use 5GHz, it still doens't list it.
I'm connected to my 5GHz network right now so yes it does support it.

I'm connected to my 5Ghz network as well, however I'm only seeing 65 Mbps connection speed. Are you seeing a better speed?
Wi-fi performance for file transfers have been pretty abismal. Using the app andFTP and the sftp protocol I can only get about 1300kbps download speeds.
I get a weak WiFi signal on both spectrums compared to my DInc, DX, & DX2.

My Galaxy Nexus connects to my 5ghz just fine. One problem though, the phone shows signal of my 5ghz lower than the 2.4ghz in the same spot and I'm meters away from my router.

hi guys!
i have a dual band wireless router TP Link TL-WDR4300 and according to the specifications the speeds should be up to 300Mps on 2.4Ghz band and up to 450Mps on 5Ghz band.
note2 is also dual band but i can get maximum 72Mps on 2.4Ghz band and maximum 150Mps on 5Ghz band even if i keep my phone at 1m from the router.
more then that the speed is rapidly decreasing to very low values and i can get better values only if i stop wifi and the restart it. in the wifi menu i switched "power save" option to off but i can't see any changes.
i also have an "android pc" imito mx2 and with this i get up to 135Mps on 2.4Ghz band.
so, my questions are:
1. why my note2 can't achieve maximum speed values and what can i do to get closer to those maximum values?
2. why the speed decrease shortly after initial connection and what ca i do to keep my connection at higher speed all the time?
i think that speed fluctuations can be a router issue (if someone can advise with router i'll be glad), but high speed limitation and fast decreasing in speed seems to be note2 issues.
any suggestion is welcomed!
thank you very much!
nobody? even with different router?
common guys!
there are so many smart people here, not even one with this problem or with an ideea how to solve it?
thank you!
Hi
Theres no answers as this is common issue and there are lots of threads about it.
In short: Your speeds are very good almost maximum You can get. Dont belief in marketing mumbo-jumbo 450mbit/s. Nobody see such speeds in real life. ln reality, You can safety bet 10 to 15 MB/sec is max You can get from Wifi.
There are special hardware configurations where lts possible to reach higher speeds but not in this case.
As general 2.4 ghz gives you wider coverage area but lower max speeds. 5ghz gives you smaller coverage but higher speeds. You need to check carefully which standard gives you better connection speed and stability in your particular case.

Is your WDR4300 with stock firmware? I would suggest to try DD_WRT (or Gargoyle) which gave mine a boost for everything. Need to follow the instruction carefully though when flashing the third party firmware, if you haven't done it before.
can you please give me the link with the last dd-wrt firmware and with the instructions?
thank you!
its normal thats how BCM 4334 works
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4334
ok, thank you for the info!
now i have:
- note2 - 72 or 150Mbps
- nexus7 - 65Mbps
- iMito MX2 - 135 Mbps
- toshiba notebook - 54Mbps
- ipad2 - i don't know but it has the most stable link
- iphone5 - same as ipad2
is that confusing or what?
^^
Note 2 support a/b/g/n max link @2.4Ghz at 72Mbps , max link @5Ghz with 40 Mhz ( channel bounding ) 150Mbps
N7 only support b/g/n 2.4Ghz @65Mbps
iMito MX2 : IDK
ur notebook @54 mean its only b/g wireless which max link can be 54Mbps
ipad 2 support 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz max link at 65Mbps
iPhone 5 use the same chip as Note2 broadcom 4334
It is all about channel width... 20mhz 40mhz or vth80 (40+40 mhz) capable of speeds up to 150, 300, and 450 mbp . Depending on client... 1x1, 2x2 or 3x3... (Hell they are about to release a 4x4 capable router even though the clients don't exist yet)
Good read...
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Atheros/ath_wireless_settings
See cannel width section
The Galaxy Note II is equipped with Broadcom BCM4334 chipset for the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band with maximum rate up to 150 Mbit/s
That makes the GN2 only a 1x1 capable client folks [the OP was connecting at max speed]
Further WiFi security settings can also cripple speed. WEP is not secure and slowest... WPA is better.... WPA security algorithm also come into play...
To reach top end of speed limits (on your 1x1 client, or any other) router should be set to:
security mode: WPA2
WPA alogrithm: AES (not TKIP or TKIP+AES)
To the folks that said you can't achieve top speeds.... Go read up on how to configure your router
(And learn what top speed limitations are given your router hardware, and hardware in each of your client devices)
Edit:
PS. you did not specify the hardware revision of your TP-Link TL-WDR4300

Has anyone successfully connected at 802.11ac and what kind of speeds are you getting? For some reason, I can't get past 54Mbps and it seems to be stuck on 802.11n at 5Ghz.
It has 802.11n with one or two streams(150 or 300mbit). I think I have seen a 200mbit connection once or twice, but quite often its 150mbit,which is twice of what my other two androids can achieve. Actual transfer rates are much lower, up to 2mbyte/s in my LAN, twice my ADSL rate.
Supposedly, it also supports 802.11ac. I bought a Netgear 6300 which supports 802.11ac and the Note 10.1 2014 doesn't connect at those speeds.

i manage about 5MB/s on my 300Mb wifi N on 5GHz (150Mb connection)
havent tried AC, but it should obviously get faster than that (this is wifi file transfer from a PC or NAS, not speedtests)
i'd have to say it must be a router config setings problem, unless its working at full speed on other devices.
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?
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.
