Anyone else experiencing slow wifi performance with the Galaxy S II?
Running the speedtest.net app against the same server with all the same settings, from my Nexus One I get 8100kbps down, 1100kbps up. On the Galaxy S II I get 1900kbps down, 1100kbps up. The phones were next to each other, and I ran the tests several times and always got very similar results.
Will be flashing with the latest firmware later today (currently it has the O2 firmware on) but just wondered if anyone else was seeing similar issues?
Strange you say that i keep getting max 1900 down on my mobile internet no matter where i go.

My Wifi super fast .
jje
I get
ping: 52 down:8099kbs up:734kbs on phone
ping: 45 down:11450kbs up:690kbs on laptop
so not much difference
ping 46ms, down 14585kbps, up 4807kbps
over wifi with one bar signal at other end of house.
On Virgin 50Mb service here, and didnt expect anything much more over my wifi.
Weird.
My wifi signal strength as reported by Wifi Analyzer is actually slightly better on the S II than it is on the Nexus One. The firmware update has made no difference to the performance I'm seeing.
Will try it on the work wifi network tomorrow and see if that shows any different behaviour...

i hope so because i get superb wifi range and performacne on my nexus one with 2.3.3. my gut feeling is the SGS2 would be a step down and i wouldnt get wifi signal in certain parts of my house where i do with the n1.
The wifi is nothing short of excellent as far as I'm concerned:

Even though you're connected to the same wifi network the two phones could've connected to different channels. On my desktop I get everything from 1Mbps (very rarerly) to 140Mbps (more likely) and that stays at the same spot all the time
And it got nothing to do with signal strength either as I can have full bars on my desktop and still get 1Mbps (or 20 or 40 or 80 and so forth).

Jammy git!
Orange's data in Bristol has slowly been getting worse. I was barely touching 400kbps the other day. Seemed to speed up a little today though.
I am also experiencing poor wifi speeds. On speedtest.net with my home router, SG2 is getting 0.6 Mbps download speed where my pc is getting 7.5 Mbps. More than 10 times slower?! Any ideas?
Slow Wi-Fo on SGS 2
I have exactly the same problem with my new Galaxy S II. Put the iold SGS and the new SGS 2 side by side and the SGS gets 5.3mbits/s (the broadband connection speed roughly) and the new SGS2 gets 0.9-1.2Mbits/s.
As I have a dual mode g/n router I have tried changing channels on it, turning off n support and everything else I can think off. The wireless router by the way is an Edimax model that works absolutely fine with everything else in the house.
I have also tried eveal different broadband speed tests, all with roughly the same result.
Anyone have any ideas? Mine is that Samsung did their usual thing and released the product with a great big bug in it that won't get fixed for months..sigh.
Slow Wi-Fi Fixed
Got it!
Changed the router to channel 6 (I'd already tried 7,9 and 11) and ..it now works just as well as the old SGS or anything else in the house.. with b/g/n enabled on the AP.
Happy man.
No issues here, Speedtest.net Android app giving me just under 15mb on my 16mb connection which is pretty much the same as I get with my laptop.
Slow Wi-Fi on SGS 2
Well..having thought that a channel change on the AP router fixed it..it did..but only for three or four speed tests, then without changing anything on the router it reverted back to ~1 Mbit/s.
So..I reset the router without changing any settings and lo and behold the SGS 2now seems to be functioning correctly again, with download speeds the same as my other systems.
So, if you're getting the same problem try a channel change on the AP ..or just reset it, it might work. It's also possible of course that the router has a bug and the 'n'th system that connects to it gets these problems. I'll set up another AP and see if the problem stays with the phone or follows the AP.
I had similar problems with very poor wifi. With speeds much worse than my wifes iphone 4 and and my old iphone 3gs. It did seem to be intermittent, but it happened on two different routers numerous channels and settings. I sent it back to and am getting a replacement.
I am also getting slow wifi speeds. Like 1,5 mbit instead of 8 mbit. Reconnected lots of times. Changed channels to 2 instead of 1.
Changed to WEP instead of WPA+WPA2, but nothing helped.
With vodafone i get just 3,6 mbit(max)
Anyone got an idea?
any body can help ? i have this problem too ! slow wifi with very bad signal power !
no body can help ? its hard to use wifi in this phone ...

Just bought the phone yesterday, and I noticed that this is the 2nd Samsung phone that is having these WiFi issues.
Sorry of this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. Google is no help as the searches weren't specific to SGS2 I777 for AT&T.
I can connect to wifi, but the speeds are horrendous! I have a 60mb connection at home connected to my wireless router.
Every phone, iPhone 3GS, iPod, HTC Inspire, iPhone 4S - all have no wifi issues resulting in slow download speeds. Each having a download speed of 5-7 mb or more.
The SGSII, gives me the following results when connected to WiFi:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and the connections just don't get anywhere near what my other phones can get in download speeds. AND - this is my second Samsung phone in 3 weeks. 3 weeks ago I had the Infuse 4G, and it had the same issue. Took it back. Then got the SGS2 on special , but I'm thinking of taking it back before my 14 days is up if nothing can be solved.
When its off WiFi I can get 3-5mps down/.85mps up.
----------------------
Is this an issue that a custom ROM can fix?
Are there Radios that can fix this WiFi issue?
Thanks for your help.
Try going to speakeasy.net from your browser instead of that app. I'll admit that looks bad and there's clearly something off...

Same results.
Routers sometimes have issues with different radios. Try your phone on a different brand/model router and see what those results are.

What routers are people having good luck with?
Westell, linksys, ubiquiti, netgear have in general worked for me. Issues sometimes with the netgear. Huge A+ on the ubiquiti. That thing is amazing. Run 24/7 and not even a hiccup.

I am having the exact same abysmal throughput issues with my SGSII as well. Home router and work router are both Cisco. I have a 50 meg cable connection amd I cant get over 5 mbps on my home router standing 10 feet from it. My captivate gets better throughput on both wifi and HSPA.
I've tried several different apns for HSPA and Nada. Also tried 5 different ROMs so far, to no avail.

Sounds like it is something in the sgsii. Hopefully it's software and not hardware. I've noticed times too that my phone wasn't connecting as fast as the wifi I was connected to.

Hopefully somebody out there can help figure out this radio problem. A quick Google search turned up a lot of other folks in other forums with the same problem.
I'm going to take it back later today to get a replacement.
For high end phones, there should be no reason why the Wifi radio can not get better speeds than regular radio.
Just got power back! Talk about being really happy I have an extended battery. No way I would have made it through yesterday last night and all this morning.
But anywho, I see cm7 has a few different modems, I was wondering where they came from. My only guess is the international.
If that's so I'm more than willing to start flashing modems to see what will work with stock rom.

When phones first come out it's not uncommon for them to have issues that need to be ironed out.
The iphone 4 would drop signal when 'held wrong'. The captivate couldn't get a gps lock to save it's life, atrix couldn't use 4g, plus many others. After they were in consumers hands fixes got rolled out in less than 6 months(usually), or a fix was available even sooner from xda
Hopefully this is just a software issue that can be fixed easily.
Sent from my páhhōniē
Well not exactly the issue I am seeing. I am having issues with the radio not getting quite the same distance my other phones can get. Not sure if a software fix would help there but here is to hoping it is software and not hardware. It might also be my router considering I am still using g and not n.
I have never had problems with my broadcomm based Asus WL520gU (WiFi G) running tomato firmware with my SGS2. I am getting at least 9Mbps when WiFi is full bar, although I should agree that this phone has weaker signal in comparison with my older phone.
BTW: Galaxy S 2 also uses broadcomm chipset for WiFi and Bluetooth.
Thumbs up for tomato!

The modems MAY help out with wifi issues as well. The modems came from 1. Our original modem that was shipped with our phones "UCKH7", then we have had three LEAKED versions so far with "UCKJ1, UCKJ2" modems from the leaked roms, then we got another.leak for our phones "UCKJ4" ALL those modems are/were made for the i777, and in fact the i9100 (international SGS2) modems do not work in our phones. You can also find another user whose post is now in the sticky threads has the same modems but with the update script for users of samsung based roms.

1) Are you using a case? Some people have had severe problems with some cases.
2) The TCP buffer sizes in the stock kernel are a bit small - the buffersize fixes in my kernel fixed it for some people. However for cell data, it's probably just AT&T. In 90% of the country you're lucky to see 3 Mbps.
I think I found out why it won't work well. My phone is running baseband i777UCKH7.
Its supposed to run on Wi-Fi a/b/g/n. I run a wireless Linksys B router at home and at work. Never gave my phones any issue (iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPods, HTC Inspire, BlackBerry Bold 9000, 8300, 8900 and work Laptop).
It seems that B/G are not well suited for the phone or Samsungs Wireless radios, but it easily picks up N signals without any issue. I could be wrong, but just my thoughts.
I might have to upgrade my routers, but for now, I will just do it well with what I got. New Linksys routers don't come cheap, even on craigslist.
Go for ubiquiti (ubnt.com). Their equipment is amazing and really good prices.
The AirRouter
http://ubnt.com/airrouter
is one of the best plug in and go routers I've seen. It doesn't support ddwrt or tomato but it's uptime is the best I've seen.
Most times I can find it online through resellers for $50 shipping included.

The bullet/nanostation is the most useful thing they have in my opinion. Zero drivers. Just plug in ethernet, configure over ip, and it puts out internet through the ethernet port. Crazy power going to the antenna. Way more than anything I've seen in any store.
Primarily they sell to small isp's so most their equipment is designed to be ran 24/7 with no issues.

I have been getting really slow data speeds in the Los Angeles area. I used to have the Galaxy S2 (i777) and it had decent speeds (usually 2-3 Mbps and sometimes up to almost 11). When I upgraded to this phone, I was hoping to get around 5 or 6 Mbps but I get this instead.

It's so slow I can't even load webpages sometimes.
What phones did you come from and what has your experience been with data speeds? What city do you live in? Have you played around with the APN settings to increase speeds?

I am on the 2gb data plan and it says I have 1.9 left. I rarely use At&t data since I am connected to WiFi 80-90% of the time.
Speeds are faster early in the morning or later in the day around afternoon and also night time. It's just really slow during the day. I guess the network is just congested but it was never this bad when I was on my old phone.
Make sure you are connected to the closest server in the server list, sometimes it messes up and gives you one thousands of miles away, which result in low speeds.

Thanks. I've selected the same server that I used with my old phone (Los Angeles Dream Host).
How do your data speeds compare with your old phones? a) increase, b) decrease, c) stay about the same?
And was your old phone LTE or HSPA+?

All lte at my house except one 3g test as you can obviously see.
I think you may want to check apn or call att. That might resolve your issue
I had to do that twice in one year due to some technical beef my phone did not register with their servers after resetting.
Portland oregon
around most of Dallas I get 12-20Meg ... in some places 30-40Meg+
the only time I got terrible speed was when I tried using the LTE toggle. but that was easily fixed.
I hate you guys, such fast speeds.
I shot AT&T an email and this was their response.... not sure if it is true or if it is just the normal reply they give when people ask about data speeds.
"Thank you for contacting AT&T about your wireless service. I will be
more than happy to assist you with your inquiry regarding your data
speeds today.
I'm sorry to hear of your data speed issues on the new LTE network, and
am glad to look into that for you. I do see several tower issues being
worked on in your area, which started a couple of weeks ago. They are
planned to be resolved by 12/30/2012. There are also planned upgrades to
the existing towers there too. I have now sent in a network quality
report to our engineers to make them aware of the impacts this is
having. They do use these reports in network planning also.
If you have any additional questions about this issue, please respond to
this email. Thank you for choosing AT&T; we appreciate your business."
Ask them if your data plan is compatible. The Bestbuy website, when I ordered, said that I must upgrade from my 2GB 4G data plan to the 3GB LTE data plan. There was no getting around it. Maybe you have to have the 3GB data plan to use LTE. Although it does look like your connected just fine.
Hello Members
I'm on the '3' network (uk), and I'm sure the 3G signal while using my new XZU is not as stable.
The signal keeps jumping from 3G to H to H+, which my previous phone didn't do at my home address.
Is it possible that the Sony XZU needs more firmware updates, or is the phone just suffering signal strength issues?

Hello BASKOU, it's my 3G signal. I find I'll have reasonable high signal bars on the XZU but the mobile 3G icon will constantly change from 3G to H to H+, and this action seems to interrupt the speed/flow of how Web pages load, or how the 'Play store works'.
The only thing I find it's not 100% consistently doing this problem, depending on where I am, or the time of day, but what I do find is it will generally always start with a 3G symbol if I'm not using the Internet first off on the phone, then the arrows will flash and the icon will move on to H the H+.
It's as if 3' network is monitoring what process you doing at the time your using the network, and controlling the mode of speed that is required (a 3G speed, or a H+ speed), I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the LTE roll out on 3's network?

Ok so try to lock on WCDMA and see if you still have this problem. It happen to me at my home (have an antenna just up to me so it mess with the network). But when I am in town or normal covered area it never switch all the time like you.
The network do not tell your phone which network he should use. It is your phone that choice which network it should use. And corresponding to the speed it say if you are on 3g/H/H+. So normally it is because 3G signal is not stable that your phone do that. As my XZU have a better signal than my htc sensation and the note 2, I guess it might come from the network.

The phone swith to 3g to conserve battery life, when you start using Internet , it switch to fastest network available, that's the delay that you experience, i think that normal for all phones.
So far, the signal is better compare to my iphone 5 in weak signal area.

Thanks BASKOU, I'll lock to WCDMA only tonight, while I'm my home address signal area which seems to suffer this problem the most at the moment.
Thanks ijat91 also for that, I also had the Note2 (GT-N7105) previously, but I never noticed, or picked up on the phone displaying the 3G icon first off before going to H+, it tended to always be showing H+ and this was at my home address.
But at you've stated bASKOU, I think the phones hunting for the strongest signal, now you've mentioned this, I've heard other friends and people I know have suffered issues like this on there different makes, and model phones, using there mobile networks.
I'll report back if making this change in the settings improves things.
Regards
Well, I did the settings change as suggested to 'WCDMA only', the result was no improvement in fact the Internet symbol on the phone just stayed on 3G, and the signal bars would just flip between 2 & 4 and then none, thanks anyway.
I'm almost sure it's not a physical fault with the phone, as yesterday I was virtually on H+ signal while in an area of London call Kilburn, so I don't think there's a problem there.
It might possibly be related to the phone firmware, in that in some way it's not handling a weaker H+ signals and locking onto them, but choosing to alway find the strongest connection, when all the variation of the broadband network are available, but none are strong and all are equally weak in the area.
Anyway, I'll have to live with it for now and see if the LTE service from the 3 network improves things in the future.
Thanks again everyone

Got the T-mobile version of this phone recently. For some reason, the wifi speeds are pretty slow when I run speedtests. I have a 100Mbps+ connection at home running a dual-band network of G and N. But no matter what, this phone can't pass even 9mbps. Anyone else have issues? My other Android phones have no problems with speeds. Seems like the wifi antenna is weak in this phone.
Can't say I experience the same. When on my standard 2.4Ghz WiFi I max at 54Mb/s when on my 5Ghz WiFi I tap out my bandwidth for my connection

Your router must be a poor performer, configured improperly, or you're picking up a lot of interference. My WiFi signal is the only signal in the area (rural). I have a pretty decent ASUS router. On both my 2.4 and 5 GHz connections, I hit 50+ mbps.

I am having the same exact issue you are. I also have a 100 megs and it only hits 50. I have the Google on hub router. With my nexus 6 I had no issues. How can we change the WiFi band's on the phone. There is no option like the n6 in settings.

Hmm. Interesting. We have a lot of wireless devices at home and this one seems to perform the slowest for some reason.
checked it after reading this with two different apps and both were slow, even after rebooting my wifi AP only getting 2Mb down and 5Mb up max when my Linux box on wired connecting is doing 60/5.5 ... might be some iffy wifi chips around?
**update**
Played around with the Amped AP settings and have the 5Ghz channel on AC only now I'm getting good speeds for wireless, around 15-20mb down on my V10, however my laptop is getting close to the 60Mb that my wired boxes are... no idea why the phone wifi would be so much slower. Have not rooted/rom'd or anything to my phone, only half a day old.
I am not sure if this has to do with anything. I restored my phone yesterday to before I flashed xposed. Because it did break smart settings and second screen function and maybe other things. My Wi-Fi is working like it should.

I can confirm that wifi speed is definitely an issue with the V10 (at least with the AT&T version). My wife has a Nexus 6P and she gets 30+ Mbps. I'm only getting (at most) 3 Mbps. My Note 4 was getting 30+ Mbps as well so its not my home wifi equipment.
I'm hoping an update gets released to fix this.
I am having the same exact issue. Very slow wifi speeds. I have the t mobile variant, unlocked it and now on ATT.

and just to confirm it again, i'm now connected to my corporate wifi network and I'm still getting about .5 Mbps and spiking to about 3 Mbps. I'm going to factory reset and try again to see if its a problem with software.
Anyone who finds out anything on this, please let me know, as I am having the same issue. I don't want to use all my data, but getting better speeds on LTE than WiFi. Using the Verizon variant. Don't know if i should get my phone swapped out or not at this point. Asked my friend at Verizon, and he said no one else is complaining of the issue.
EDIT: Strangely enough, i'm getting fine speed test, but most of the time, i'm timing out on stuff in apps. It quite annoying.

My speedtests run pretty well; I can get over 100Mbps, which is 90% of my Comcast bandwidth. However, establishing connections and/or maintaining them in apps or web browsing seems to be very laggy/intermittent. For example, when I refresh Instagram, it will show the text parts of the posts, but it takes another 5-10 seconds for the images to appear. Similar experience in Google Play and Chrome -- text comes down pretty quick, but the additional data like images and such take another 5-10 seconds. My LG G2 on the same network works seamlessly and without pauses. I have factory reset my V10 twice with no improvements. I have the Verizon V10 variant.
One articleI saw mentions a possible wifi firmware problem when SD cards are inserted. I pulled my SD card with no improvement.
This really seems like a firmware/hardware issue. Hope it gets addressed soon.

Sadly, still having this issue.
TWC Wi-Fi, guaranteed for 50mbps and that's pretty much what I'm getting.

It's really hard to explain, but i know that the people on here get it, it's not that it's slow when it's working, cause speed tests are fine, it's the initial connection on some apps that just timeout, or take a really long time to load, but it doesn't do it on LTE, only on WiFi. Instagram for instance, takes forever to load pics, videos, even the pages sometimes, just sits there and thinks, Facebook on occasion, google wallet for sure, i have to go to data most of the time to load google wallet (something with android pay), but webpages seems to load fine, except for some SSL sites, again, slow to load....Now that i'm thinking about it, i wonder if it is something with SSL that's causing some things to be slow....Think about it, speedtests aren't SSL, so those would run fine, but google wallet and android pay are SSL for sure, i'm not 100% on Instagram or Facebook? Can anyone confirm that the traffic on those are SSL?
**Sometimes when i'm typing stuff out, it all comes together in my head...lol***
Ya I hear ya, although the speeds are good sometimes there is slight delay?
Not so much speestests, they always run good because they are running over HTTP, not HTTPS. It seems like apps and webpages that run SSL run really slow. But again, I do not see this on cell data.
Add me to the list of people having wifi problems. Speedtest tests my home connection at 180Mbs. But browser surfing drags along.
Got my S23 ultra yesterday
Version : S918B/DS
The wifi connection is unstable: I have a wifi 6 5Ghz hot-spot and after a moment I have on my phone a "no internet" wifi shown in the parameters, with real no connection on the phone. My other phones and computers still having internet (the wifi Hotspot is working perfectly).
1st time it happens to me (old S20U and 21U never got this problem)

Try to connect manually with dns 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1
I have the same issue and manually setting dns didn't work.
It seems that the problem is only with wifi 6 beacause with others wifi networks (not 6) I haven't problems
I'm using Wifi 6 and don't have any issues with my S23 Ultra

Maybe tell us your router and OS on it.
Hey there,
I'm in France as well, and do have the exact same issue with Wifi 6. Sometimes it does works great, but is really, really inconsistent in the long run. Looks like clear software issue.
My previous S21 Ultra (Exynos) was rock solid with hyper fast speeds. New S23 Ultra does even worse than my cheap Xiaomi tablet.
Hope it's just for now and future updates will fix that.
I'm also not having issues with connecting to the WIFI6 networks.
Router
Huawei OptiXstar HG8147X6
Double-check that the router is not using TKIP or both, only AES is now supported. WPA2 or preferably WPA3.
Thanks for the AES tip. Did that. The response when in wifi 6 (not E) seems a little better but the speedtests are still a choppy in some ways. I Hope a firmware upgrade will fix that, as the S21 Ultra didnt suffer from it.
FYI everyone, I just got the Feburary software update but this issue with WiFi 6 networks and connectivity loss is still not fixed. WiFi 6E and WiFi 5 works fine, it's only WiFi 6 networks that are having issues.
What the hell is taking Samsung so long to fix it? They need to acknowledge it immediately. These reports are all over the Internet now on every forum, from Reddit to XDA to Samsung forum itself. This is clearly a driver issue that needs to be fixed ASAP.
I am having the same issue with no internet connection even though I am connected to WIFI 6 5gHz.
If I cycle the wifi on and off it connects and works normally for some long amount of time.
I have a TP link AX6000 And did not have an issue with my Galaxy S22 Ultra.
I had WiFi 6 (now upgraded to 6e) and no issues with either.

Same boat.. coming from S22U Ultra and no issues with TP Link AX6000, but a few minutes with screen off, and the S23 Ultra loses connection. Really annoying
Looks like a known issue. Would expect an update to fix it.
Your Galaxy S23 Wi-Fi problem is being faced by others, too!
The Galaxy S23 launch has been pretty successful so far for Samsung. All the phones in the series have received ...

Hi, i seem to experience some WiFi trouble since last firmware.
I tried to connect to WiFi in the train the other day and it connected but said there was no internet. Normally once connected it should have opened a web page to input log in.
I did try this earlier with the original firmware version and it worked well back then.
Hope they fix it in next update.
Got the new update and I have same issue with wifi, US Unlocked!
Solution seems to be switch to 5G until they work out the issues with WiFi 6.
Hi guys
All my home setup is all based on Ubiquiti equipment; router, switches and AP. Not using a router for WiFi - sucks. My AP supports WiFi5 and 6 and both are enabled. Never had any problems with either my S22 Ultra or now S23 Ultra, both connects to WiFi6 - 5 GHz and my older devices uses 2.4 GHz - WiFi 5.
On my S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra I've speeds around 900Mbit up/down. Upgraded my AP a month ago, was thinking about a WiFi 6e AP but dropped it...no need since my fiber i 1Gbit U/D. Both S22 and S23 connects to AP with 1200 Mbit, using WPA3 Personal.
Don't know if this is for any help, but I hope.
Regards DeHAWK.
Hello everyone, do you still have the wifi problem?
I noticed I'm having an issue with WIFI 6E when watching videos on Facebook or Youtube, its aggravating. If I toggle wifi, it works again until I start watching videos again. Disable wifi and have no issues watching video on Verizon 4G LTE or 5G. I have an unlocked S23 Ultra.
