Update: 31Mbps highest DL speed so far.
I have a 40Mbps download and the best i can get on the TP is ~22. Anyone get higher speeds?
I can get ~33Mbps using my laptop (Macbook Pro) using speedtest.net From anywhere in my house. BGN network or just GN it didn't make a difference.
Up to 22Mbps on my prime from just about anywhere in my house same results on BGN or GN.
Using WPA, QWEST Router M1000.
On my original Prime I get the same results using Speedtest from the market.
Using WIFI Analyzer, my TP shows better reception.

I would appreciate it if people would post general router/AP settings, just for the sake of science.
Like did you use wifi-a/b/g/n, was it on a 20 or 40mhz band, and howfar away from the source were you.
Also dont forget to mention if your ISP is limiting your results by default so we dont get the wrong idea.
And also how did you test it? Personally I like http://www.speedtest.net
That kinda stuff, so we can all replicate and compare.
I like this topic, keep it up.
And if your company says you get 40 you get it a wired lol

My cable is rated for 50mbps. I don't get more than 24 or so mbps on any wireless device. I do get 50+ on my wired HTPC though. My prime pulls about 12-20mbps at any given time depending on where i am in the house. I have my router/modem set to N although I get the feeling it is still in mixed mode.

Not to be THAT GUY, but don't we already have about 75,000 threads with 1.3 million posts on wifi performance?
I hit the 30Mbps area on a daily basis. some devices never download the full capacity of load. my Comcast wireless rated for like 50 or 60mbps or so. my Ipad or Atrix never could achieve that. its on device end that doesn't allow it most of the time. Prime has consistently pulled speeds same to my Ipad or faster.
You must have CenturyLink as well. Firstly, I highly suggest that if you want anything close to the max 40mbps, use another router and bridge your M1000.
Secondly, 22 isn't bad at all for the Prime. I would be pleased with those results.

I have an Linksys 601 (i think) It's a dual antenna N router, so eventually I'm going bridge, but i just upgraded from 5Mbps service through Century Link. Got a great monthly rate. ($35 per month/one year). I just wanted to know what the average top download speed was.
So it doesn't matter if your sitting on fiber, i want to know who has the best wireless DL speed.

ALL OF THIS DEPENDS ON THE SPEED COMING INTO YOUR HOUSE! SO YOU CAN'T COMPARE NUMBERS LIKE THAT! SOMEONE MAY HAVE A HIGHER SPEED COMING IN SO IT'S UNFAIR
and other factors such but not limited to
other devices currently connected
router
Distance from access point
Time of day
shared connections such as cable connections speed slumps at around 6-10pm
humidity
The way you hold the device
the other apps using the same connection
The closest sever you are connected to

On the same server and same day I pulled 23mbs from my tfp and 20 from my EVO 3D. I pay for 20 or 25mbs. I think mine is up to par, but I'm returning it due to other issues. Hopefully I get one that can actually see at least 1 satellite and has a serial number so I can update next Thursday. I'm glad I have that day off!

Its sad. But I just couldn't hold on to the phone anymore.
I loved it for the great features, smooth UI, etc. But the wifi radio was weak, and I got a notice that I am now the 5% of users of which AT&T will start throttling for data usage. All because the wifi doesn't work, and that became the deal breaker for me, and so I took it back.
To me, a phone, like many before the SGSII (Blackberry Bold 9000, iPhone 3GS, iPods, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, Inspire 4G, Blackberry 8900, Blackberry 8300), the phones worked out of the box. With the exception of BB8300, the phones hooked up to any and all Wifi signals with NO issues. Working right out of the box. Download speeds to what the phones could handle, and I didn't have to worry about any data issues using 3G/4G.
Wifi Radio. It's the only disappointing thing about this phone. I even asked about it in this forum, and because the phone was so new to the US market, no one knew if any radios would help fix the radio for a better wifi connection.
Sadly, I lost my upgrade eligibility due to 2 trade-ins in 30 days, lol, but I was able to get a new Inspire 4G (as previous phone).
Hooked up my Inspire 4G to wifi, and it was getting 5-9 mps on my home and work router. Compared to my sad and laughable SGSII download speeds - .25mps or less.
Anyway. Goodbye SGSII forums. It was fun while it lasted.

It is definitely not the hardware. I am far from stock but I just did a speed test on wifi and got ~11.2mbps.
OP, why didn't you try it on another wifi network outside of home or work to see if it was a router firmware or router issue?
Try going an extra inch to find out what the real problem is before blaming it on the phone . . .

Definitely a bad unit...I get great WiFi speeds all the time. I have pulled almost max 30Mbs out of my works Fios connection and 10 from the home unit. So i'm with the last poster, find a local service center and take it in and get you a replacement.
Edit: Meant to add the screen capture last night but it was late...Check out some of my recent results. Even the second one I just did not even 5 minutes ago.
I get pretty good Wifi speeds at home as you can see from attachment. Outside my home, the speeds aren't anywhere close but still decent.
Sounds like it's not the GS2... 27.2Mbps on Wifi for me...
Every product has a lemon. Maybe you got one. Not sure why you downgraded phones though for a non-existent and probably single remote issue instead of swapping a new one.
Oh well, enjoy.

There was nothing wrong with your sgs2. My sgs2 keeps connected to my wifi clear down the street via wireless N. I feel sad that you were not well informed and educated about electronic devices.
My SGS2 must be broken then because I pulled 16.53 down and 3.29 up on my WIFI on my 5 year old router.
Next time try some troubleshooting.
Android Central article says UK Primes unaffected by wifi issues seen in the States. Can any of our Brit friends confirm this?
Articles also says UK warranty extended to 18 months and Asus will give refunds if not happy with GPS.
We need to see the same offer globally! It would make me feel better holding out for a fix and give us enough time to trade in for the tf700 if nothing is resolved.

Asus (US) told me today it was a WiFi "card" issue. And that some do not work correctly. So, Asus offered to RMA mine, and is going to check (and hopefully fix) it.
It may be that Asus had to dial back the gain on the wifi radio to comply with FCC regulations. This is speculation of course, but the EU's/UK's regulatory laws pertaining to harmful interference are a little less draconian than the United States.
Europe uses different Wi-Fi channels than America and may have required Asus to use a different Wi-Fi chip/card.
Can only say that here in the netherlands there also have been quite a number of people with wifi/gps issues so I don;t think 'all the euro units are unaffected' but who knows, maybe the UK units are a different batch...
Different batch or FCC issue. Seems like pretty good answers to me.
I wish Asus would be more open about this. Soon.

Well I won't buy one until I'm sure the Wifi & GPS works fine!
I have a UK Transformer Prime, And i cant say i have noticed any issues with Wifi signal.
Im yet to use GPS but if you guys let me know what tests you want me to run i can do them later and post results after the blackout.
I've not tested my UK model with any particular tool, but I've not had any wi-fi issues in day to day use.
The backplate is made out of special shiny backplate material.
Trust me, the units in the UK aren't perfect.
I'm on my third which is going back today after being in a constant boot loop since upgrade to ICS.
On all 3, the gps has failed to see more than one sat and the wireless performance on either my home or work N network is amongst the worst of any device i've owned. Speed drops off rapidly as you move away from the ap and complete loss of connectivity is frequent.
This announcement is concerning as if this is the prime working i think i'll pass on another. Saying that though, i just dont know whats going on as in the post above, there are completely happy users who seem to have no issues

3 units in less than a week? thats some turn around!
What tests or actions best show what you are seeing? maybe i can try them with mine and see if i get the same.
UK units are not perfect. WiFi signal is still weaker than it is on my phone, which has mostly plastic body and GPS, while it can lock at times, can't really be used for car navigations.
But WiFi seems 'stable' and doesn't drop off in the middle of using it, which makes it a non-issue for me, since I rarely use it in areas with weak WiFi signal to begin with.
UK owner here too. Wifi has been generally fine for me. When I first got it the browser seemed to hang quite a bit but I don't know if that was hardware of software. After upgrading to ICS, browser+ and the browser+ update it seems fine. I did notice yesterday that when I was next to the wifi router it was super quick and then using it last night up stairs about 15-20 feet away it was maybe 20% slowly, which in real terms is maybe half a second so not noticeable.
How would I do GPS tests?
Felix
Wifi for mine in the uk has been good getting 20 to 25 mbps and i am a fair distance from the router. I have never been able to get any lock on GPS whatsoever. Asus uk have offered me an additional 6 months warranty, but i am currently seeing if comet will take it back and give me a full refund as asus have said to return it if not fit for purpose. I will order another and hope it gives me some kind of GPS. I don't want it for navigation but do want to be able to use places or maps. It also has 2 dead pixels and the screen rotation does not always work. As i have paid £499 i want a near as perfect device. John lewis are offering 2 years warranty as well so have ordered from there.
My wifi is stronger than my GS2!
Through 3 walls (brick in England ) about 20m away I get half bars - Channel 1, G, @54mbps.
I think that UK version does have a different antenna/card
I think its likely that the Uk ones do have a different card. HOWEVER
I am getting intermittant issues on mine. Sometimes ill be getting perfect speed and suddenly it drops off here and there. Im connected to my works WIFI and it does the same..
yesaterday i was downloading GTA3 and it did 10mb then stopped. Same with other downloads.
Personally im going to keep my prime as everything else is brilliant. And hopefully in the coming months patchs will come about. For me thats not an issue.
GPS doesnt work at all for me. No locks what so ever. But i am yest to try outside in the open air. I dont like standing in the rain really.
All uk people with issues could you post your SN Number like so:
BCOKASxxxxxx
Dont put your numbers in, just the text prefix. would be intresting to see if it is a batch of primes thats at fault.
I haven't tested the GPS yet, but so far the WiFi is ok.

Mines the same serial as yours and i dont have an issue with wifi its same as my laptop and just tested gps got 9 sats with 5 locks dont know if thats good but at least its working
Ok ive been trying despartely for a week to find a prime near where i live. (lexington ky) I finally found one and here is a tip. Even if staples or bestbuy or officedepot says its sold out online. Tell it to check in store availability. Turns out staples in my area is not putting them on display and holding them in lock up until next week but theyll still sell them if you ask for it. So i called the one who said they had it in stock and sure enough they did. They held if for me till after class and i went down and got it.
No backlight bleed
No wifi issues
havent tried gps yet.
Serial Number is C10KAS
Congrats.
Let us know how your GPS does and the first few digits of your serial.
I got a C10KAS unit from Staples on Sunday via the same method (the sales guy didn't even know they had them in stock), and mine's excellent. Everything works (even haptic feedback, which is a first among the many units I've tried), including GPS--I got 10/12 satellites and 36' accuracy sitting on my bed last night. Outside, I lock to as many as 12/14 satellites within 30 seconds with wifi off. It's not stable in my car, but for any stationary geolocation it works great.
I got one too just now from staples with the same method. He had to get it from the back for me.. And looks like even other staples guys didnt know about it.. cuz his manager came up while he was ringing it for me and said "we have that? my friend was asking for it couple of weeks ago"
BTW, should i update to .13 update directly or we need to go step by step with other previous versions incrementally? (Im planning to do it manually instead of OTA)
EDIT: Serial number is C10K....
Ok I just did all the ota's. And gps is working great im in a campus building on UK's campus and i got 12 birds. Im so glad i decided to get this regardless of what people were saying. serials first digits are C10KAS06XXXX then it has a little 12 after it
Congrats!
I think mine's newer as mine is 10 and not 06 but no go with GPS. Wi-Fi is still a problem when moving away from the router. Did you try that?
im on campus and its moving fine between there wifi
Welcome to the Club
Same here lol. Got mine at Staples as well. C1 serial so far solid wifi and GPS. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Ok so today has been my first full day with the prime. I LOVE it. Has had zero wifi issues while at home or on campus which is saying something because college campus wifi is notoriously crappy if your moving around. I pulled a 22 mbps download rate with 2 bars pf wifi while on campus.
That's odd because after running around taking the one with the "B" serial number back and getting a "C" at Staples I've had no difference unless I'm using GPS test wrong I get no sats and I live in Philadelphia so that mission produced no results only thing left is the tom tom GPS receiver that I bought

I also have a C serial number prime. No issues except for backlight bleed and very minor ICS graphics glitch. Also, +1 for Prime being awesome on campus internet.

Us people that ordered through BB have to wait till Sunday. There now don't you feel better. lol
I'm not sure if the extra 2 day wait was worth the $50 and a case I'll probably never use. Right now it don't feel like it.
That was my dilemma as well. Of course BB made it easier for me when I got up at 3 AM on Feb 5th to preorder and there wasn't an option to preorder on BB yet. Also, I'm not sure if I just overlooked it or what, but on BB's online orders I didn't see an option to keep my 2 GB of data for $25. I barely use 1 GB so I definitely didn't need 3 GB. That really sealed the deal for me. I didn't see myself using the flip case either.
Although I'm going to try out the AT&T live tv 7 day trial when I get my Note and see if it's worth the $10 per month. If I end up keeping it I will probably need the extra gig of data for $5 bucks more. We will see though.

I have an older Slingbox and I'm thinking about upgrading to a high def one. It really is great. You get all your channels that you get at home. If you have Sattelite or cable and movie channels it's awesome.
You should look into a Slingbox. It will pay for itself with a lot more channels, including all your locals.
That looks awesome, but it has a little too much up front cost for me right now. With getting a $300 phone, I don't think my wife would enjoy me spending another $330 to be able to watch TV on it. But you are right, it would definitely pay off in the long run. That is unless I got fired for watching TV at work, haha.

@ 9:30 she points out a speedtest result when "we forced the phone to HSPA+"...does this mean LTE can be disabled in the AT&T version? I remember reading that was not an option with the Skyrocket?
Does slingbox provide its own content to cable and local channels or is it working off an existing provider like a fios tv?

It just slings whatever channels you have on your satellite or cable TV over the internet to your phone.
It has these infrared things that hang in front of my satellite box that allow it to change my channels. It used to freak my kids out on Sundays when they were watching cartoons and the channel would change to football all by itself because I changed on my phone at work.
One great thing about these phones with the hdmi out capabilities and a slingbox is that you could be in a hotel anywhere in the world and hook your phone up to the TV and watch all of your channels, local, movie, etc.

EDIT: Lisa said there is not voice and data over LTE yet. When you make a phone call, the phone switches to HSPA+ and then takes a minute to go back to LTE after you end the call and that is when she did the speed test on HSPA+. There is not LTE/HSPA+ toggle on the ATT Gnote.
Thanks for the update! Hopefully a custom rom will remedy that sooner than later!
so, mods, if this isn't a good place for the thread, feel free to lock it or whatever..i had no idea where else to post it..
but basically, this month at work we had a contest. if we sold 5 fios triple plays, whoever won, would win a samsung galaxy tab 10.1. it's a sick tab, with a nice portfolio case. (BTW, it doesn't have to be a triple play. if you're interested in ANYTHING, let me know, because the more signups the better, especially in verizon's eyes for our store!
there's only a few days left in the month, and i'm only at 2.5 sold, because it's hard to sell every customer on fios.
basically, i'm asking that if anyone here is seriously interested, to let me know..i can look up your address and check if you have fios available, and if you're interested, i can sign you up.
if you sign up, the the higher TRIPLE PLAY packages will get you a $500 visa gift card, and the lower ones will give you $250....so, verizon is GIVING you money just to sign up, which is sick.
if anyone wants details, or a quote, or interested in signing up, please either respond here, or throw me a PM. i'd love to win this tab, and there's only a few days left! thanks guys!
I would, but theres no landline internet out here...just satelite, mobile, or the dreaded....dial up! "Shivers"
I just signed up for internet only. It would have to be a Triple Play to qualify for you?
nah, not just a triple play...i got the 0.5 one because it was phone and internet lol..if it's internet/tv, it counts as a triple play for my contest..if it's phone/internet, it's 0.5..and internet would probably be 0.5 too lol
did you get it yet, cares? cancel it, and let me sign ya up haha (i've had people do that before lol)

ugh, dialup! i'm so sorry. haha
Already got Directv, don't need a home line as using google voice +pbxes and have at&t. If you can get me fios, then I will sign up.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
But if you convince them to drag it aaaaaall the way out here in the middle of nowhere, ill sign up right away lol i use 20+ gigs a month on my phone cuz i cant get decent internet out here lol
Any chance it's available in Cary, North Carolina??
I'm so sick of time warner cable and att uverse.
FIOS is a hard sell around here.... Cox Cable is hard to beat. I used to have residential but now have a business account (needed for home office) and just run the residential side out of one of the IP from that.
Best phone co could do is 9600baud dialup (Seriously!).... and I am in metro Phoenix area.

Like I said, phone co can only get 9600 baud dialup at the house here which is weird because I am in the middle of the city.... max dist from two closest points of access... or something like that. Quest -> Century Link or whatever they are called now days has basically been non-competitive. Once they lost the monopoly... people just plain left. Their commercials are a bit of a joke.
I pay less than $180 for 50mb/10mb business connection (no blocked ports and better SLA than Residential service) and a block of 16 IP's. No bandwidth limitations, all I can eat. Oh that includes two land phone lines, one for the office and one for the house though I am going to drop the house one soon.
Use Cox Residential for cable (house pays for that, not business) so that is separate.
that sounds like a damn fine deal!
i'll sign up if you can beat what i'm currently paying for cable, internet, and phone.
of course, that means you'd literally have to pay me.
i'll pay you in a galaxy tab! wait no, then there would be no point in me even playing in this contest lol
no

I think they could do a little better then 9600kps over fiber. Can you even get FIOS at your location or are you referring to service over the existing copper lines?
Good deal on the business connection, I've thought about doing the same with Comcast to get rid of their stupid monthly cap...

yeah, I've thought of getting a business acct just to have a static ip, but does that require a tax id?
TWC is still unlimited so not worried on that aspect yet.

Welcome to the club. I'm in Raleigh, and I am sick of getting 15mbps at 5:00 AM and 1.5-2 mbps at 5 in the evening. You never know what speed you are going to get.
you guys in NC, fi you wanna PM me an address of yours , or around you, i can check. i haven't checked NC yet, but a lot of other people sent me PM's, and unfortunately verizon hasn't rolled it out to their areas yet
