I see my device connected to my home wireless, but it says only 54Mbs. Wondering how I can tell if it's connected via b, g, or n. If it's n shouldn't it be up to 150Mbs? I get really good range, like a few houses away on my phone, so I assume it's got to be connected via n, but want to figure how I can tell on ym network and others I connect to.
TIA
Have you looked in the routers menu to see the connected clients and speed/type yet?
Also in SGS tools goto secret codes then usage stats and device info then wifi info

Have you ran speedtest while connected to wifi?
Also, if your router doesn't have automatic channel switching, you will have to choose. That should tell you how its connected.
I ran speedtests and used wifi analyzer and checked in my wifi settings. I see what channel I'm using and which are available, but nothing says connected 802.11b or 802.11g or 802.11n.
The further away from the AP you are, the lower your negotiated speeds will be. You can be right on top of an N router, but with the Broadcom WiFi chipset in the Galaxy S, you can only have a 72Mbps connection.
Lower throughput with further distances comes from error corrective algorithms. Lower throughput carries less errors at long distances.
remember our phones dont have dual band.
your router has to be setup to either be dual N band or on Single band,
but our phone will only pickup single n
and also as said above distance and signal strength can very.
as for running speed test... wont tell you much about your network connection unless your internet is faster than your router, and in north america thats hard to find...
Yeah I maxed at 72Mbps right on top of my router. I was just trying to find a way to tell if it's connected via b, g, or n.
If you are getting over 11Mbps then you are not B, so you can either be G/N with poor signal. Over 54 you are not G which means you are N.
Dual band only matters for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz freq. ranges and being able to operate on them.

Absolutely correct..anything over 54 would be N but rate will degrade with distance and signal so it may be hard to tell what the initial connection was. Get close to the AP and see if you're over 54. Router/AP status may also tell you

That means nothing. Your internet is considerably slower than your router can handle. Speedtest ONLY measures your internet speed. The speed between your device and the router does not come into play unless you are connecting at less than your internet speed. Also, if you have a standard N router that is not dual band and you have something G on it, everything will connect at G speed.

And phone is bits or bytes?
My router is a dual band N speed, but its not set on the 5.4 setting and it doesn't auto change. It is MIMO, if that matters.

wireless g speed is 54 MEGABITS per second which, without ANY overhead (impossible) you can see speeds of 7 MEGABYTES per second.
your dsl connection is 99.999999999% positively MEGABITS per second, so you could, without any overhead (again almost impossible), possibly see speeds of 750 KILOBYTES per second of actual bandwidth transfer.
there are 8 bits to every byte

No. Its 8 bits for every byte. Its mathematically impossible to score MORE bandwidth than is actually available.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
To reiterate, 6 megaBITS per second equates to theoretical 750 kiloBYTES
There is not currently a DSL on the market right now that can do 6 megaBYTES per second.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
Throughput is almost always measured in bits while size is always in bytes. Exceptions being download managers which usually (or as an option) display bytes since bytes (kilo or mega) are considered human readable.
For wireless modes (abgn) and freqs (2.4/5) most modern routers can do simultaneous modes and their supported speeds while only highend ones do simultaneous freqs. An exception being devices that support mode A since it is 5GHz 11Mbps.
Also for the OP.
Somewhere in that router it will tell you the mode you are connected at. My Linksys E3000 shows it in the dhcp client table. Others will show it in the connected wireless devices menu (i had a netgear once that displayed there)
Oh, another thing with some routers. Even though they support mixed mode, if you have a client connected at a reduced speed rate the router may reduce everyone to that rate.... but that is going to be for older devices.

I live in the Atlanta, Ga. Metro area. I have noticed that my internet speed would start out at normal speed then get very very slow after a few minutes. I tried some speed tests and the First two Test gets 1250 Kbits, then the speed drops to 200 Kbits and stays there as long as I am connected. If I wait a bit and reconnect, I get the same pattern, a fast connection then an 80% drop in speed.
Is anyone else experiancing this problen on AT%T??
I'm in Atlanta too, but I haven't really noticed that discrepancy.
Your title is pretty much nonsense.
Perhaps what you meant to say was "AT&T's network is so overloaded the speed randomy drops 80%".
Howard Forums has a lot in this regard. AT&T is just overloaded. They've made some adjustments, and it's helped. 4-6 weeks ago I couldn't even download a file without it completely stalling most of the time, now it usually finishes, although probably slower.
Supposedly It's a known problem and it's being resolved as soon as they get to it. I assume it means additional upgrades to infrastructure.

NO Nonsense, what I meant to say was "AT&T cutting 3G speed by 80%" and there is nothing random about it. I can consistantly log on at any time and do one or two speed tests at 1200 mbs then the speed drops to 200 Kbs until I log off. Then log on again and get 1200 Kbs and the speed is dropped to 200 Kbs again. They appear to be detecting large blocks of data and cutting your speed down substantually.
I noticed that if you use wap.cingular as your APN, it does seem to be a bit slower. Luckily for me, I have an actual data connect plan and am able to set up my APN as isp.cingular. Maybe its a PLACEBO, but if im not mistaken, the server that ALL of the Iphone data runs through is the wap.cingular, freeing up the other APN for me . Also, change your dns to an opendns server as that may help with some of the initial latencies. I for some reason have NEVER had an issue with the whole proxy setting dilemma ( maybe because of my specific data plan ) but this may also bottleneck your data too
Hope some of this helps
Dude if my 3G dropped to 200 mbits, I'd be a happy camper.
Is it just me or are you confusing your numbers? If that was the case you could download a file at 20 Megabytes per second after TCP overhead initially then it would drop to 2 MB/s. Now I logically think you either added an extra 0 or two or you ment kilobits.

I'm also in metro Atlanta, but I'm not seeing that. However in recent weeks, I have noticed HSDPA coverage has expanded a bit -- I'm getting it in places I never did before.
Also, your speed figures sound about 1000x higher than I've seen; perhaps you mean kilobits/sec?
I would love to have those speeds. Most of the time where I live the edge is faster than 3G.

Works fine with my D-link DIR-655
YES ^^ its work
Yes it works, but keep in mind only on the 2.4Ghz band, not the 5Ghz one. Rocking 150 here on my N wifi!
You guys just convinced me to get this phone
Just bought a Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti WHR-G300N . Its a 300M wireless router.
I set the 11n mode with 20M/40M in router, my P990 only can connect with 65M speed.
Not know why ? P990 really support 11n?
working here too.
Only got up to 74Mbps though
Never had mine above 72mbps, but then that's the max my N1 reached as well.
Still, both n speeds though.
Had the same issues with my LG Optimus 2x. LG is noting but promises, they can't deliver.
But we should already know this now. It is with all their innovations, they obviously only work in lab environments. Or maybe in Korea.
I can only assume you meant to post that elsewhere, as LG clearly have delivered on wireless N.
Wireless N on paper, yes, but if the phone can't get to 150 mbit or 300mbit, then it is just "speed vaporware". What I would expect with N is at least 150mbit and not only 65 or 75 mbit. Taken this into consideration, deliver in regards to the speed, this is what the original post was meant to be .
I do have a Wireless N 300 Mbit router and that phone never did more than 75Mbit while being connected to the router.
Anything above 54mbps is N, that's all there is too it. If a certain speed was promised you'd have a point.
who the hell needs speeds of 150-300mbps on the phone anyway
Guess it might be useful for transferring HD movies, but other than that it's just bragging rights IMO.
Well, those ratings you see in the wlan connection details should only be treated as indication on what speed you may be able to get.
I managed to transfer files over wifi from my LG with speeds ranging from about 3,3 mb/s to 4,3 mb/s (so up to about 32 megabit/s, depends on whether its using samba server or Websharing).
Thats decent enough for music, images and small videos, but for larger transfers i prefer usb, where I get 10 to 18 mb/s for the external sd depending on whether its reading or writing..
Oddly enough, my O2X only managed like 100KB/s on average. It takes a really long time to transfer movies from my computer through wifi and it's not a problem with me router. My HTC desire can manage ~3+MB/s doing the same thing. I wonder if it's something I'm missing or LG makes crappy phones. Not to mention, this phone is sluggish. If one didn't read the specs and found out it is dual-core, one might think it's got lower specs than a Desire Z.
Anyway, the only way for me to get decent wifi speeds on O2X (starting ~2.5+MB/s and then gets to around 500KB/s) seems to be to restart the phone manually before doing transfers. For some reason, the device tends to get super sluggish after long period of use (without restarting). I definitely hope this is a software issue that will be addressed in Gingerbread release (at least).

Probably the Note's antena is a 2.4 GHz one. 802.11n != 5 GHz only. I learned that the hard way with my home network.
Which is a real bummer. I didn't know Samsung's devices had crappy WiFi, as it's the primary means my mobile devices get online.
My 2.4Ghz notebook makes 150 mbps speed, why Galaxy Note cannot use 150mbps? Actually the maximum speed is 65mbps even near the AP. I can't use DLNA, because all the videos are glitch with this speed. Can anyone explain is it possible to increase the 802.11n WiFi speed?
I was pretty sure its supposed to be dual band. I thought id resd other people had used 5ghz. Anyone have any experience with this?
Also my reason for wanting to use the 5ghz band his nothing to do with bandwidth and everything to do with the horrible. 2.4 ghz congestion in my apartment. If I'm near my router it's fine, but in other rooms I get wildly fluctuating speeds on 2.4ghz congestion(regardless of the device used).

It is not necessary to use the 5GHz band for 150mbps speed. It is enough 2.4 MHz.

afaik generally speaking 5GHz quality deteriorates much quicker with distance and obstacles than 2.4GHz - it probably wouldn't be any better than 2.4 GHz.
Btw can someone measure .g and .n max speeds ? If I remember correctly SGS2 peeked at 32mbps no matter of the connection type so if Note does 65mbps then wifi in SGS2 and Note aren't identical. On the side note: SGS2's wifi is really crap, HTC Sensation's XE wifi works even with couple of walls in between the router I can browse the net, download etc. without problems, while SGS2 is close to unusable at that distance. I really hoped Samsung had learned they lesson with crap wifi implementation sadly this doesn't seem to be the case :/
Well I can tell you that in my apartment, the 5ghz band is a much better bet. Trust me, I have tested it a bunch with multiple laptops.
As far as wifi speeds, the fastest I have seen is roughly 30mbps on a rock solid 50mbps fiber connection.

I can confirm the same with the Note. The speed with 5Ghz N is way better and dropoff at least in my apartment is much less.
> Anyone else experiencing issues with wifi?
WIFI-g works fine on my device.
Both 5ghz and 2.4ghz work fine on the note, with the exception of 5ghz @ 40MHz channels which the note can't see. Of course the 5ghz band deteriorates faster as you get further away from the router but in 2.4ghz crowded places its still better to use the 5ghz radio. It's really very individual, each has to adapt to his environment's limits.

Using an asus N66U. Would love to test 802.11AC but don't have a capable router yet.
Also something that I noticed when testing this, my One really doesn't want to be told to connect to 5ghz wifi only. It refuses to (re)acquire an ip address after being told to connect to 5ghz, so even if I had an AC router, I'm not entirely sure how I'd force it to use 5ghz in the first place. So the iperf test above is using standard settings on the One, with "use best wifi perfomance" enabled under power settings.

Better WiFi speeds than my N4 and better signal strength too.
I haven't tested a local LAN connection, but for internet speeds the wifi is fine. This is using an Asus RT-N53 router, Wireless N, 2.4 GHz band on top, 5 GHz band on the bottom:
Speeds are great, only problem is the unreliability of the 5 GHz band on the router itself, but the phone is fine.
To compare my desktop on a LAN connection gets 33 mb down and same upload speeds as the wifi.
Speedtest.net gives me 61M down and 7.73M up, which is pretty much the same as my desktop computer gets.
Note that this is using CM10.1 on a 5Ghz network (Apple Time Capsule). When using stock firmware I'm unable to connect the the 5Ghz network at all, it just doesn't see it.
I have an Asus RT-AC66, and the WiFi speeds on my One are great - link speed is 433 Mbps. Speedtest shows download speeds of 74 Mbps on my 80 meg broadband connection.
Rate this thread to express how you think the LG Nexus 5X's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Again, plastic case, this means that your signals will be good. No metals in the way.
Before my N5x is had an iPhone 5c.
Also plastic, but there is a big difference in signal strength. N5X has much better range.
Sidenote:
My tp-link 5GHz router will crash once in a while only the 5GHz band does this.
This started since I use the N5x
I owned the Nexus 5x for 7 hours now.
And I'm deeply disappointed in the WiFi part - constantly getting maximum 50 kb/s wherever i go. No matter which wifi network, no matter which band im using, and no matter which signal strength.
Probably a failure of something hardware-wise, as i tried reflashing the firmware.
:/
My Wi-Fi is great. Just ran Speed Test and got 30Mbps download.
Does anyone else have the problem of WiFi randomly droping? I have had this issue since I received the phone. The problem has also been consistant through different ROMs. I was using Stock, Cataclysm, BlissPop and Pure Nexus which is my current ROM.
Very satisfied about the WiFi speed at home, this the highest speed so far:
D: 94.11 Mbps
U: 96.02 Mbps
This is on 5Ghz with the router one floor above me, nearly got the full speed of my ISP (100Mb fiber)

What kind/model wifi router are you using? What are the ping speeds on your speed test?
Mine gets choppy speeds and they drop and pick up even during the test. I did multiple network resets and a full phone reset, but still the same! My home network is solid getting 90+mbps DL with 17ms ping on my S6 and Xperia Z5.

I've got a Draytek Vigor2132 viber model modem that can only run 2.4Ghz, as a extension for the upper floor I've got a Tenda N60 with AdvancedTomato firmware running 5Ghz.
I'm getting a average ping of 15, on my PC this is lower. Maybe you got some kind of interference from a other network, you can use the app Wifi Analyser to see of you router/modem runs the optimal channel for your situation. If you neightbours are using the same channel as you signal quality will drop.
