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.

Well it doesnt matter what you got you got even if you could connect to both at the same time it could not combine them. Wireless N should be able to handle that just fine.

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.

Is there a way to switch from 2.4 to 5.0ghz om my note 2
Hi everyone,
I have my Nexus 7 connected to a Linksys WRT160N router with tomatoRAF firmware installed. This router+firmware+configuration setup was the best I could do without constant dropping of connection or not connecting at all, but still at very slow speed of 0,5 - 1,5 MB/s (average is more around 0,6) when copying files on local network (SMB) with ES File Explorer. Which is good enough for web surfing and emails, but not enough for IPTV and youtube (youtube works, but i have to wait for it a lot).
So far i have tried numerous configurations of my router, nothing works. I tried other routers, 9 to be exact, but i have never seen more than 2MB/s.
Now i'm thinking about buying new router, and I want to know what wifi speeds do you get with which router.
thanks
Hi,
what's your net speed? mine is 26 mbit/s and this is what i get. however, IF you stream sound with BT/have any BT service up and running and your wifi runs at 2.4ghz it is highly probable the two (bt and wifi) interfere. This was the problem i had and which i found out after buying soundbar which links with its subwoofer via BT(BT butchered my wifi, i was scoring 1mbit to up to 26). I have switched to dual band modem/router (tp link td-w8980). now, i have two WiFi networks at my place, one which runs at 2.4ghz and the second at 5ghz. the 5ghz is used only by my nexus :]
N7 2013, Buffalo N300 router, Verizon FiOS 75/25. The router is dual channel, but not dual band: 2.4GHz only.

I had throughput issues with a Linksys WRT54GL and Tomato, was not a configuration problem. Loved the way Tomato worked, how it looked, it's options... but in the end, all I really cared about was throughput. Are you able to replicate the throughput issue on stock router firmware? You said you tried other routers. All the same model (RMA)?
Tell me more about your connectivity issues.
If you've used different routers from different manufacturers (with their respective stock firmware), then it's probably a problem with your tablet.

I had this throughput issue from the day I received my nexus 7 (2013), with stock firmware on router. But with stock firmware, the connection would drop randomly (from 5 minutes to 12 hours) and to reconnect i had to restart the router and nexus - this was corrected only with this firmware TomatoRAF (i tried dd-wrt and 2 more tomato firmwares - all kept disconnecting). I never had this throughput issue with any laptop, only this nexus.
The other routers i tried were all different routers, but all at least 3 years old.
Another information: friends nexus 7 (2013) WIFI, flo, also had same speeds on my router.
today i will try to test a few phones and a laptop on my router and will post results as soon as i can
32gb lte model, I use an Asus ac66u and Comcast 105\25 Mbps. 5ghz WiFi gets me 90 Mbps down and 22-30 up, 55 Mbps down and 22-30 up on 2.4 GHz.

xperia mini pro (jellybean) - 560kB/s
galaxy s4 mini - 1070kB/s
laptop - 6500kB/s
I used to get 10MB/s+ on my laptop with original linksys firmware, but now i configured router to be more "reliable" and i would be more than happy if nexus had 6,5MB/s connection.
I attached some info about router configuration. If there is an "expert" reading this willing to help, i can post more complete configuration.

Considering how inexpensive it was I"m extremely happy with the TP-Link WR1043ND that I use. With aftermarket antennas I bought as an experiment and the current firmware installed signal strength through walls and general performance is great. I thought about installing third-party firmware on it when I first got it a couple years ago but see no need. For the package I have from Comcast they advertise I think 25 Mbps down and 5Mbps up and I usually see 28/6. If you haven't already done so make sure your router is using the best channel for your location. Also, I see a lot of people move off of channels 1, 6 and 11 which can make them see/cause more bleedover from/to adjacent channels. You can see that in my screenshot with networks MercedesBenz and Sandvik. I live in a house but the effect in an apartment or condo would be worse. I also use a repeater because my router is at the opposite end of the house from my backyard patio and this house has insulated steel siding. Wifi Analyzer is a free app and works great to figure out what channel would work best for you.
Also in the N7's wifi advanced settings I use "2.4 GHz only" which seems to make it reconnect faster when waking up the device because I also use "only when plugged in" during sleep.

I haven't had any problems. All my large lan transfers are done over Ethernet cat 6. If it can pull down 90mbps from wan to wlan on two phones and a tablet, well then there's your sign lol. All these speeds are on n WiFi, I haven't even tried ac because all my machines that need all available bandwidth are hardwired. The router hasn't even required rebooting unless one counts firmware updates and such. Hardline lan to lan is right about 100 MB/s.there's an even faster model out called the ac68u but it's significantly more expensive.

I have the 32GB LTE version... Using an Asus RT-N66U as my access point...
On 2.4 ghz I get 22.5 mbps down and 7.5 mbps up*
On 5 gzh I get 68.4 mbps down and 11.5 mbps up... which is the max speeds I see from my ISP.
*note: there are about 18 strong 2.4 ghz networks visible at my location (surrounded by apartment buildings). 2.4 ghz performance consistently suffers with this level of interference across all of my connected devices.
As far as the RT-N66U goes... I'm very happy with it's performance and range of signal. I was a long time WRT54G user with tomato. This matches almost perfectly.
Just got a blazing fast speed that makes me wonder what the max the phone is capable of.
My test was done on laptop connected to My One via Wifi tether. That was the speed from Verizon towers.

I fell like there is still some confusion. The test was performed on a laptop which was connected to the hotspot of my htc one which was on VZW network.
What is the fastest someone has seen from the towers?
Check this out. It is kind of old but I think the information is still valid.

I wish i got those speeds. I only get arround 8 mbps durring the day, and arround 28 late nights when the network is less congested. My best ever was 32.27 mbps, and that was at 3:30 in the morning.
Theoretical max speed on Verizon's 700 MHz band is 73 Mbps. The One doesn't support the new AWS band like the Galaxy S4 and G2 which can go up to 150 Mbps.
Of course, with Verizon's 4G network as crappy and overloaded as it is right now, you'd struggle to get 10.
I average about 30 in my area and I've had 56 at the highest.

I was getting 25-40 easily. Then the iPhone 5 was released. Now I only get ~ 4-5.
I've definitely seen a reduction of performance over the past year in my area. I could pull 30Mb+ even in a densely populated suburb (Philly metro), but now it struggles to hit 15Mbps in the same spot. Not that I'm complaining.
Max I've ever tested was 55Mbps in a popular mountain resort town during an off-peak season. Hopefully vzw builds out more capacity (per the link above) and keeps the speeds at a satisfactory level, but I don't expect to see 50Mbps regularly.
Hi,
I just got done setting up the wife's Note 4, and was excited to give the speed test a try. Because Verizon LTE is congested and crap in my area, I didn't expect much. I wasn't disappointed. 9.5 down, 5.0 up. I have 50/5 DSL with Centurylink, and expected to get some great speeds from the speediest when on wifi. I'm getting an average of 7 down and 3 up. I have a Netgear Nighthawk router that handles the wifi. On my Macbook Air, I get 26 down and 4.6 up. On a wired connection, I get 46 down and 4.6 up. I am not sure what's going on.
Anyone else having wifi issues with their note? Any suggestions on a fix?
Other than that, this phone is damned good. No other complaints. I'm thinking of getting a black one when BB gets them in stock.
Thanks
Mine's been hit or miss, and I can't tell if it's my Note or my router. First time I ran SpeedTest I got full speed-plus. I got 64.87 Mbps down and 6.90 Mbps up (I say plus because I'm only paying for 60!) but yesterday I was only getting 34.5... But my concern comes from the fairly frequent drops I get while on WiFi. I use Internet Speed Meter Lite which shows my network activity speed in the top notification bar and while using certain apps, especially Facebook and theChive, while trying to load images it'll just hang. Could be an app issue as well, but when I turn the WiFi off and switch to 4G everything loads as fast as expected.
My router is a Netgear Nighthawk that I bought about eight months ago. I guess that I'm concerned that this is a dud device. My wife and I both work from home and we have our phones on Wifi most of the time during the day. My day-to-day use would be affected by bad wifi.
There is definitely something wrong with the wifi... Mine struggles to get past 5Mbps even on a 50 Mbps router. Note 3? 50 = 50. Note 4? 5 = 50? wtf...

Really weird then I have no clue... I know most users of AC routers its fine with and those of us with B, G, N ones are having issues. I dunno what to say at this point but its still clearly the note 4 that has problems.
I've tried it on 5GHz a/n/ac and 2.4GHz b/g/n, and got similar results. Of course the range on 5GHz was less than 2.4, so I went and stood near the router.
If I had one Note that was having a problem and one that wasn't, then I might think that it was just the one device. Both of them come out almost exactly the same on speed tests. There's something about my setup that the note doesn't like. I'll be damned if I can figure out what that is.
Wifi speeds are incredibly inconsistent. I get 320mbps down and 21 up on my computer. Phone speedtests give anywhere from 125 down to 15 down, sometimes literally within seconds of each other.

Hmmm. Maybe there is something wrong with the wifi antennas in these phones that I have. I guess I'll return them. Sucks, because the rest of the phone is fine. Just bad wifi.

- PC on 5Ghz: 85Gb/s (it's 2 years old but model is 4 years old so wi-fi card may even be a 5 year old model: intel dual band wireless ac 3165)
- Pixel 2 XL on 5GHz: 180Gb/s
- DELL LAPTOP on 5GHz: 85Gb/s

Modem has:
- Wi-Fi up to 1.7 Gigabit per second
- 7 aerials
- 2.4 and 5 GHz
I am on channel 5GHz channel 36 at -30dBm on band 20/30/40 MHz and channel extension 40+44+48
I'm the only one on channel 36: there are three more networks on channel 100
PC and Pixel 2 XL and iPhone are in the same room of modem.

I hope you mean Mbps...
Regardless, I think your router isn't setup correctly then. I only have a 450Mbps connection with a Nighthawk R7900 and I max out with speed tests on my Pixel 2 XL, my Alienware Laptop with the Intel 9260 WiFi card, my wife's MacBook Pro, and her iPhone 8.
Yes sure Mbps ?
So what should I do? The device Is from network operator and specs as you can read are very good.
What's your WiFi setting? Ac or n or both? Channel width? Etc

I think you need to do some reading about how to setup your specific model or read reviews about your specific model. Just because it's provided to you does not mean it is a good product.
Sharing my settings will do nothing for you, even if we have the same model because WiFi signals can be affected by your home layout and your neighbors WiFi if they're close to your home.

Agreed. Personally, I turned off the WiFi from my router with my provider and have a two device mesh network WiFi.

I have a fritzbox 7490: I can disable wifi from network provider and configure the fritzbox as wifi router

Never heard of it but I checked the specs and although it's rated for 1300 Mbits/s, I don't know how close you'll actually hit that. Let us know.
