Wi-Fi worse with ICS update? Poll - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

My Wi-Fi is really bad since the ICS update. Is anyone else having the same issue?

My wifi is pretty good, better reception than my Android phone.

Mine seems the same as before which is just fine. It does better than my Droid charge for sure.

Wifi was great before ICS and is still great afterwards. Better reception than my T-bolt.
I can be outside in the yard on the opposite side of my house from the router and still get 3 bars and great speeds. I guess I just got lucky.

Mine is the same as before, too. Can't really complain.

I've been holding off on the Prime due too all the talk about bad wifi speeds and range. Are you guys saying that it is actually not an issue? I don't care about the GPS that much, even though it has been horribly handled by Asus. But wifi is a "make it or break it" part of the product for me. Is it worse than the TF101? I have seen a lot of posts that it is worse, but you guys say that it is really good.
In doubt...

Not an issue on mine. I have conducted tests against my laptop/tf101/ipad1...my prime is right in the mix.

No real improvements here. Just about the same. I'm going to change my router's 2.4 Ghz band back to combined b/g/n as opposed to isolated g (which helped my Prime a LOT) to test out if ICS truly helped at all.

I'm on ICS and just switched to g only from a/b/g/n, and my speed greatly improved, so it doesn't seem that ICS made a difference in that regard. Wish I knew why using g only helps so much with the speed on the Prime. I'm in an apartment complex with many signals, and I'm wondering if that had anything to do with it.

I'm finding that I get an extra bar indicated, but I don't think it's really any better or worse with ICS.

My experience has been a bit odd with it. As far as the signal indicator goes, my wifi reception SEEMS worse than on Honeycomb. However, I haven't lost signal at all and my speeds are great.
Overall, I'd say it's about the same, but the indicator seems to fluctuate much easier.

Same as before (which is still weak), but it is still not as good as any of my laptops, Skyrocket, Blackberry, or iPhone.

I'm actually getting better wifi range to my router.

Same here, I live in an apartment and there are a lot of WiFi networks in close proximity.
What kind of router do you have? I have a dual band Belkin n600.

Interesting. I'm going to do some research into whether being near so many other wireless signals may have something to do with g only performing better than a/b/g/n when I get a chance. Then again, devices like my laptop and iPad1 pull the same speed regardless of whether my router is set to g only or a/b/g/n...ugh.
I'm using a D-Link DIR-655, which is not a dual band router.

Mine is by far worse!
I barely even have a chance to tell before my Prime reboots. But it shows it as having a poor signal even when I'm right next to it and it never actually connects. Just says obtaining IP address.

With honeycomb my phone (evo 3d) would get more reception, it could see networks the prime wouldn't. Since the update my prime not only sees all the networks its getting great speeds even on the weak ones.

Same after ICS, which is good.

It's about the same for me. But I had some issues with rebooting at first, but now it is better.

Go into the WiFi settings, "forget" the network, and then reconnect. I had a similar issue after the ICS update on my home network and this fixed it for me.
Also, people shouldn't rely on the number of bars the WiFi indicator in the bottom right has. I've found this to be very inaccurate, and almost useless. I've had no bars or one bar and pulled in speeds just as good as when I had 2 or 3 bars. Instead of basing your assumptions on this, use the speedtest.net app and the wifi analyzer app.

huge speedtest improvement?

Was getting between 5-8 mbps past week on 4 different local servers now today I am getting 15-20 mbps on those same servers has anyone else noticed this or is this just a fluke for me tonight?
Were the tests done at the same time-of-day, and none in the weekends?
Speed tests over the Internet add its variability into the mix. You should limit the test to your LAN only. A simple big-file-copy test should suffice.
Time-of-day may still matter, depending on your wireless environment's density. If it's crowded, a 9PM test would have lower performance than, say, a 3AM test.
no but ill check that now
it's odd but it seems like the more I use my prime the faster it gets in general... maybe I am getting used to it. Opera browser+ Go keyboard with tablet plug in in 10" tablet format is ftw
I've had the opposite experience with speed test results. After the update yesterday, I'm getting a puny 3mbps when I usually averaged 20+ on a 35+ network.
distance is key
People keep just mentioning speeds but not their location in respect to the router.
In the same room as router I get 20 mbps. Next room over 1 wall I drop down to 5 mbps.
In my bedroom 2 walls I drop to about 3mbps. Meanwhile my HTC tbolt is getting 12 mbps.
Is this kind of quick dropoff common for other users
I get .5 to 2.5 mbps on my prime my gnex gets ~10 and so does my dads iPad on our wifi. I got one of the bad units

There was speculation among some of the Prime reviews that router brand matters.
In fact I think one of them made of a chart with speedtests from the same location and different routers.
time of day, location or distance from router, router brand, and network settings will all affect download and upload speeds. too many variables in the mix.
I tried doing a speedtest test yesterday, and the first time got a 5mbs DL and 1mbs UL. I then did the test on my phone and it said 18mbs DL and 5bms UL. So I was like wtf until I noticed that the app chose 2 different servers. I changed it up to the closest to me and what a difference. I hit 25mbs DL and 5mbs UL on my TP and I got 22mbs DL and 5mbs Ul on my phone. I am still rocking the .29 update since I can't update to the .33 just yet.
My Wifi speeds got quite a bit faster from the .33 update.
Before the update speedtest.net app showed around 15-20Mbit/s now it's up to 25-30Mbit/s.
My internet connection has a constant speed of 32Mbit/s which is working all day no matter what time. Upload speeds are always 1Mbit/s which is the maximum of my line.
So I got a perfectly working Touchscreen and faster Wifi with this update --> perfectly happy now!
Edit: location was both times the same ofc.

I'm pretty sure they're all "bad" units. People who claim they have no wifi problems just aren't comparing the speed to other devices at decent distances from the router. Rather, I suspect they're basing their conclusions on the fact that browsing is fine.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
For any other WiFi device I use on my network, I can use the results from SpeedTest as a true estimate of the actual speeds that device can achieve, but I don't feel that way about the Prime.
While my SpeedTest results are in the 3 Mbps range for the Prime, I have no problem HD recording from Netflix, Veetle, Youtube or VLC.
Can anyone suggest another method for testing speeds on the Prime?
Best speed on my prime was on lower odd-numbered channels 3,5,8. But I'm on a 3-4 year old linksys router running dd-wrt.

not neccessarily. as i said before I tested Prime against my ipad1 and Atrix4g phone and Prime consistently pulled faster speeds regardless of distance and signal strength shown. did the same with atrix4g. and Prime using wifi analyzer. Prime was right on par with signal strength of phone. the Prime is just more sensitive to changes. but once again, it never affected its speeds. you have me, Diamondback2010 and a lot more showing great wifi download and upload speeds. maybe those who are experiencing issues need to check their router settings or something. Because to say everyone has bad wifi is incorrect. especially since 12/22 my prime has been connected to my wireless network nonstop. never dropped a connection or had issues with speed dropping off no matter where I was or how far from router.
edit: just did a quick speedtest.net test on Comcast network on Netgesr router
Download: 25mb
upload: 4mb
ping: 16ms
that's pretty damn good in my book n I've pulled even higher speeds on Prime b4
For those of you noticing poor WiFi range and wondering whether you have a defective Prime from the much talked about early defective batch (like me), I suggest you read this article:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5178/an-update-on-transformer-prime-battery-life-wifi-issues
The reviewer in the article had both a defective Prime and a non-defective, replacement Prime, and compared the WiFi between the two.
Basically, the defective Prime had a cap of about 2 Mbps at any location. That is, even right near the router, the defective Prime wouldn't pull more than 2 Mbps, and was averaging about 0.5 Mbps in speed tests.
The non-defective replacement Prime the reviewer later got fixed this 2 Mbps cap problem, but still didn't have great speeds when moved away from the router. For example, the non-defective Prime the reviewer had got about 10-16 Mbps, while the original Transformer got about 34-37 Mbps at the same location.
So for those of you considering returning or RMA'ing your Prime because you get big speed drop-offs when moving away from the router, I strongly suggest you reconsider, since it seems this is a limitation/design flaw in all Primes. Stated simply, if you're not capped at a ridiculously low speed while at any location, your Prime is not defective.

What is consider as "weak wifi"??

So what is consider as weak wifi?!.
I've recently got my prime and have been testing the wifi of the prime to my sg2 and vibrant...
Standing next to my router i get about -45dBm while my sg2 gets like -33dBm. The dl speed is also slightly faster on the sg2. Then when i compared the signal to my vibrant....my vibrant gets about -45 to -50dBm.
So just curious is that normal? Or weak? Or any other opinions...
Thanks

Don't feed into all that weak wifi hype. If you even have to ask then that means your device is performing fine. OR YOU won't even notice anything unless someone tells you its bad n starts making you think that.
Base it off of performance, not what Tom, ****, n Jane tell you..lol
Try running the same test on the same devices but move farther away and test each result. the "common" problem is the rate at which the wifi looses strength is roughly around 20'. But this is all based on individual results i have read. Others claim there are no issues or problems. To each their own.
My question for you is, When and where was yours purchased from? Im curious if the newer purchases are as common to show issues.
For me it's pretty simple to prove.
From family rooms and bedrooms I can get 16Mbps.
From kitchen and dining room I get 2Mbps, while the iPad right beside pulls in 16Mbps still.
I used wifi analyzer to find what channel was best in G band than configured my router to it and my prime pulls the same or better numbers than my SGII, daughters iphone4s and wifes Kindle fire. All devices have better speedtest results since I switched to channel 1 on G band I wish I would have known this along time ago because places that I previously had weak or no wifi now have a strong signal.The configuring router thing has been posted hundreds of times on this forum

My experience is pretty similar. Near the router, all devices get a pretty fast download speed, above 11 Mbps using Speedtest. Farther away, at about 20-25 feet, Prime slows to 10% of that, while the other devices are still up near 11 Mbps.
Don't go looking for problems. If it is running fine for you and seems fast why try to get technical about whether it is weak or not.
I brought mines recently on the 21st of Jan.
For mines wifi seems okay when compare with other devices when there is no/few obstacles...ie i get the same speed but different signal strength when Im on the lobby of my neighbors(1 house away) while my router is on the 3rd floor.
But when Im in the lobby within my building my prime gets very weak signal and often disconnect while my sg2 remain connected with 2-3 bars and about 4-5mb dl

Maybe you are checking WiFi close to the router? Most folks that report WiFi problems (including me) report that near the router is fine, but that 20 feet or more away, the Prime's download speed is WAY less than other devices. (my Prime is about 10% of other devices at distance.)
Yep, standing right beside the router I can get 30Mbps. This is in the basement. I live in a large bungalow. Standing right above the router on the first floor I can get about 18Mbps and then it drops from there and very quickly. In the dining room, which is main floor but about 30-40 linear ft distance from the router, the speed drops to 2Mbps.

[Q] Tmobile S3 Weak WIFI

Is it just me or is anybody else having a problem with weak wifi signal on their phones? I know its not my router or connection because on my g note i always had at least 3 bars and speed test always gave me a constant speed of 10-11mbps. But now on my tmobile s3 i barely have a wifi signal shows 1 bar , and my wifi calling even says you are almost out of coverage area. And speed test is only giving me 2-4 mbps??
Anybody else also expirencing this? Any fixes, do you think there is something wrong with my phone, should i pay the restocking fee and return it?
Mine is actually better than gnote i had on att. My wife's gs3, she said wifi speed is faster on gs3 than her previous s2 skyrocket. We are VERY pleased by these awesome phones.

The wifi signal isn't so bad that I'd call it weak(my Transformer Prime is WEAK), but it's not so great. Depending on what phone you were using before the gs3, it may seem weak though. I use different devices alot, and the gs3 is not the best or worst when it comes to wifi. The gs2 has great wifi, the Galaxy note soes too. The prime is terrible, and the gs3 is probably slightly better than the sensation in my opinion. I'm upstairs with the router downstairs, and I get 10mbps, but right in front of the router I get 30+. I've also noticed that it can depend on how I'm holding the phone. It never knocks the signal out, but it does weaken it when I'm using it in landscape. Maybe you could move your router to more central location?

Wifi Weak - 802.11n 5ghz band is pretty weak

So I was hoping to connect to my router via the 5ghz band and if I'm just one level up from where my router (TP-LINK TL-WDR4300 N750) is, it will drop all signal. Even when I'm on the same floor, it won't be at full strength (mostly around 75%). My laptop and iPad has no issue and get a pretty strong signal. Even one computer that's two floors away has no issue connecting at that band. Kind of disappointed with this, but at least the 2.4ghz band runs ok. Not the greatest as well but it'll keep a connection pretty much throughout the house.
How has everyone's Wifi signal been?
Mine has been very crappy as well. Better speeds when NOT using wi-fi.

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy Note 9'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!
Wifi throughput is very bad, constantly drop its speed on WLAN, happens to few. Address?
Wifi signal is excellent. I live in a triplex. On the top floor i workout. I disable the LTE, still can have 2 bars of wifi. The modem is in the first floor.
Used to have an iphone 8 plus. I could never have even a 1 bar of signal.
Guys, before you comment, make sure it's not your router or home equipment causing issues, and not your phone.

I have create a thread in Question & Answer but seems like nobody is interested in.
My router are, RT-AC87U and Archer C2600 both on stock lastest firmware. 4 meters from the AP, no obstacle, direct sign. On 5GHz/80MHz, my XZ Premium, Z4 tablet, Nexus 6, iPhoneX have very good connection and would never drop* on either one.
Keep in mind this is throughput of the receiver (here is Note9) is low and kinda unacceptable, it will impact the speed of everything using internet connection. Signal is 4 bars full strength, you can have a look on the pic i posted.
---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------
I checked that Note8 also had a fewer complain address the wifi issue, nothing related to the signal or reception. Just the throughput/bandwidth was low and probably not fully compatible with Wifi chipset, it sometimes happens with Apple iDevices and Broadcom-used Router.
Just did another test to make sure no updates from Samsung broke anything, and I'm getting 375mbit, which I've seen the note 8 get up to about 350mbit and start maxing out. I have a feeling there's a bit more headroom with my note 9.
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/4187326458
I have a 400mbit connection at home so I'll have to test when I make the next wireless rig up for work, where I'll have a gig to test with!
Really sounds like interference for your problem.
Mate, do me a favor and search for wifi issue with the Note8. Considering not much change physically and internally this year.
Nothing to do with interference, if it does, then not only my Note9 is experiencing it.
The Note 9 is the ONLY device in my home which suffers from poor WiFi speeds. I have 2 access points from UBNT and my wife's iPhone 7 can saturate the connection and peg at the speed caps of my provider (200 down/7 up). My laptop and other WiFi devices can do the same. On the note 9, I can only muster 10 down and 7 up. So it is DEFINITELY an issue with the Note 9 hardware or drivers.
Throughput is the same as my note 8 . All good. Running a t mobile Asus router.

So there's definitely something wrong the note 9 then? Even with my stuff is correctly configured, TX powers all set, interference cleared out, sitting on a 80Mhz channel I'm getting 380mbit, -49dbm, and that's shaped by my internet package. My router is reporting it can hit 747mbit on this modulation, which I've attached.
I think you guys need to reassess your wireless networks.
So have 100 mbps internet and hitting 112 on N9. Using Asus rt ac87u with Merlin firmware. Router has always kicked everything away. N9 is getting good connection and has. Better signal in my outdoor shed ( laundry room) than my n8 and s9+ I have not complaints. Some might be having issues but I'm not.
Using 5ghz 80mhz channel.
82mbps on 2.4ghz
Sprint replaced my phone. all is good now.
Mine doesn't do too bad, I do experience slowness with some apps. I circled speeds that are close to my Spectrum connection which is 200/10. I am battled so wifi interference.
I'd figure I'll add to this. My speeds are gig, my computer gets roughly 750-950 on the daily. My phone gets roughly 450-580. Asus rt 87r

My reception is pretty good. My internet speed is 200 Mbps but I'm getting over that.
I too experience slow internet speed on my Note 9. I have created a thread and seems like few others are also facing this issue. I have given my thread URL below.

I have Fios Gigabit internet. My wifi speeds are solid. A little better on average than the modem in my Note 5. The 2Ghz speeds are an atrocity, but I live in NYC where my neighborhood alone has a higher population than most towns in other states. So heavy interference is commonplace resulting in lower speeds while not plugged in.
