Hello!
Anybody know why the wifi rate is about only 500 kbis/s?
Test made by Pocket speed test. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395165)
With/without AC power.
Phone radio - disabled/enabled.
All Power mode presets has tested.
Momentary speed rate not stable: 100-800 kbit/s
Notebook at the same point use 30-40 Mbit/s...
Is it only my problem or global?
HI
My network card has gone bust (doesn't work properly no more )
So I'm planning on buying a Wireless USB Adapter. (probably today) Its for my laptop in which i do a lot of surfing + streaming and i Play online games a lot.
So which adapter would you recommend for me to use, my internet connection is 20mb (but i only recieve 6 ;|)
i have a Sky wireless router > (IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g)
Are these what i am looking for? and which ones better

Thanks
Similar thing happened to a friend's laptop, headed off to the local large Tescos and picked up a Zoom USB adaptor.
Was only around £15
Plenty of range and 54Mbps connections (although speed test sites over wifi will show less than directly plugged into the router)
Wireless G too so would be compatible with your router.
Those with N will of course work, but you won't get the advantage of N's speed as your router doesn't do N.
Cool thanks mate
was wondering if there was some kind of external wifi antenna that maybe uses the usb/mini usb. most of the ones in the local electronic stores are for windows plat forms and im pretty sure wont work.
Probably not because they would require drivers.
Smart repeater

Doesn't phyically connect to your tab, but, if your looking to extend your range/reception in your house you could use an amped Wireless Smart repeater http://www.ampedwireless.com/products/sr300.html. I actually chose the access point version http://www.ampedwireless.com/family/accesspoints.html for my house to improve the wireless signal on the second floor. Works great.
The difference between the access point & repeater is the a/p requires a phyical connection to the network & the repeater doesn't. Max throughput on a/p is 300mbps & repeater is 150mbps (since it has to transmit wirelessly to your existing router & wireless clients).
thanks, i definately didnt want to have anything hangin off my tablet, kinda defeats the purpose, i like the repeater, ill check it out
Cheap mode: any router that supports DD-WRT - just put it into 'bridge' mode.
Fancy: the new Cradlepoint CTR35 can work as wifi repeaters as well as a hotspot
I connect Galaxy Note to my 802.11n AP
But the connection speed only 65mbps
My desktop PC connection speed is 270~300mbps
Why Galaxy Note Wifi speed is so slow?

You need to understand how 802.11n works. To achieve 300mbps speed, you will need 2-3 spatial antennas which can be found on modern laptops with Intel Wifi chipset (such as 6300). Our galaxy note has only one antenna (should be 1 for each radio band (a/n, b/g/n), but it is "N" compatible. So your speed is actually pretty good on a single antenna.
Unfortunately this is a case of the manufacturer misleading it's customers (tbh I would say out right lying to us).
As the above poster mentioned the note is compatible with N, however it can not support N speeds, as far as I have seen all phones that claim 802.11n are actually limited to 65mbps. So really are not 802.11n at all, rather just a little faster than 802.11g.
Although having said that unless you are transferring huge files across the network, streaming multiple FullHD streams at the same time, 65mbps is going to be sufficient.
its really misleading, i got upset when found out, also i have the impression that the battery drains faster on n without giving me any faster speed than on bg, maybe one day someone builds a phone with real fast wifi

For further detail on this issue I found this post helpful
I have the same issue with a Galaxy Tab 10.1
does anyone know if it is the same reason ?
how many antennas has is and what should be the max link speed ?
I have a wireless N router, and with my desktop (that's connected via wifi, I have 2, one wifi and one RJ45) I get 300 megs (connection speed) and when I connect via FTP From my phone to my desktop to download files or sync files, I get about 2.7 megs. I'm right next to the router (about 8 feet, clear sight) and the desktop to which I'm syncing is connected via LAN.
I also have this question about what need is for that on a phone. I can view HD videos from Youtube though my slow ADSL and the normal WiFi. You only need 1 - 1.5 Mbps for that.
Even if you were streaming 1080p with 5.1 channel sound, you don't need 100 Mbps.

What if I only have 802.11N router with access point and I want to set old router off and connect G2 to my desktop PC by 802.11AC 5GHz WiFi? Will some cheap USB stick do the trick or I must only buy new Dual Band 802.11AC with access point?
If USB stick will work which one is better, Linksys WUSB 6300 AC1200, TP-LINK Archer T4U, or Netgear AC1200 A6210 or ASUS USB-AC56?
