Hi All
I have a strange issue with my wifi connectin i have a 50mb wireless connection from virgin media and on most my wireless devices i get 25-30mb speeds
However i am having serious issues witn my wifi when i connect my ps3 pad i am lucky to get 3mb is anyone else having this problem if i disconnected the ps3 pad the speed jumps up to 15-17mb
I also noticed if i connect my onlive wireless controller it puts the speed down also but not as bad as the ps3 pad.

Someone more experienced, feel free to correct me, but I understand that in any device/environment, actively using Bluetooth and WiFi at the same time will cause some interference. I wouldn't have expected it to be that much, but using the controller (which runs on Bluetooth) might be interfering with your WiFi signal, thereby dropping the speed.

Ur right about that. Both r on the same frequency (2.4GHz) and can cause interference. I havent tried it myself, mainly because I just dont game on my STS, but if ur router supports it I'd suggest u set ur wLan to 5GHz, thereby eliminating possible interference issues.
Hope this helps!
Things might be improved by changing the channel your router is running on channels normally in the range1-11.
i tried to set it to 5GHz but the tablet couldnt locate the router

i have tried everything i can think of the onlive controller works great i get 20mb however if i connect the ps3 pad it takes it down to 3-4mb from about 25mb thats over 11mb it loses

I cant see that being a problem the onlive controller i have is also bluetooth and doesnt effect the speed as much as the ps3 controller does
I have also tried the 5GHz however the tablet s couldnt locate the tablet it seems it can only connect via 2.4GHz
I rang sony support and its been passed to a 2nd level support just waiting to here back from them.
When I connect my Onlive controller, a lot of the time my connection will drop to 1mbps. It's really annoying and I sometimes have to disconnect and reconnect wifi multiple times or even restart the tablet to get my speed back.
I don't have an OnLive controller so I can't comment on that, but with your router problem, try adjusting your region settings in build.prop if you're rooted. On my old Galaxy Tab, adjusting that to an EU region allowed me to connect to hotspots with a channel higher than 12.
Your mileage will vary of course, so be careful.

Got a 32GB version.
All my other devices, windows laptops, android tablet connect up to my wifi fine. I am using WPA with AES (static IP). The HP Touchpad connects, but there is huge packet loss and it barely can keep a connection. It doesn't drop out per se, just cant get any data. Tried changing router settings, being 30cm from it etc. Still same problem. Any apps/tweaks i can try on the Touchpad?
Maybe it has something to do with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n with WPA, WPA2, WEP, 802.1X authentication;
maybe your router doesnt support it.
Just curious, are you running any of the Preware patches?
I am having a similar problem with my 16gb wifi model. Wifi works for a short while, then drops the signal. If I go in and turn off wifi on the device and turn it back on again - then it will work fine for another few minutes until it eventually drops the connection again.
I had this problem before I loaded any preware tweaks - and after as well. I am running the Govnah app to overclock to 1.5ghz and a few other logging tweaks.
I did some digging and it seems the most likely issue is a problem with the firmware of my router (D-link DIR-655), specifically the wireless n protocol. I am going to try updating my router firmware and see if that helps out.
By the way - no issues with my two laptops, dell streak 7, or my wii - so its definately isolated to be an issue specific to my touchpad/router combination...
I too am having problem. I don't drop the wireless connection, just a internet connection. All of a sudden nothing on my touchpad can connect to the internet, until I turn the wireless off and then back on again. Very weird. Everything else working off of my Dlink DGL-4500 works fine, except the touchpad.
I notice a few of you have Drinks, maybe thats the cause?
I'm running on FIOS and using Verizon's provided router. Works flawlessly. I've had one issue w/ WiFi, but a reboot solved that and has never come back.
I had problems with my dlink 615. TP would lose connection after 20 minutes or so. My wife's would do the same. My evo 4g had the same problem. I changed the router to the G only setting. I haven't had any problems with either TP since that change. The 615 uses draft N and was one of the early routers with this. I think it causes problems with some devices. I haven't really lost any speed either as the 615 will only connect at the speed of the "slowest" wireless card on the network, and I have some devices at g speed that are always on. I do plan to get a new router at some point.

See my Touchpad is the ONLY device having problems, that's the part I don't get. All of my devices are wireless N as well.
TouchPad WiFi issues
Okay, I've tried every custom kernel available with almost the same results. I'm beginning to think my unit is defective, but I am hoping it is the custom kernels and not my unit. I haven't tried restoring the stock kernel but I suppose I should have before writing this. Anyway..onto the issue!
Does anyone have this problem where WiFi will randomly stop transmitting data? It happens most when I am browsing the web with the stock browser and almost all the time it is after the unit awakes from sleep. Sometimes it happens while browsing but the majority of the time it happens when coming out of sleep. WiFi is still on and connected to my network, but network activity is not there. The only way to fix it is by doing one of the following:
-Turn off and on WiFi
-Launch the HP software catalog.
The second method one seems to give the network a jump start and WiFi will begin working again and data will transmit.
Freeza I think that's a common slug, I read some other posts about it. Heck mine was doing it a lot, but not so much lately. I don't think you have defective device.

I have this issue too, on two Touchpads on the same wifi network (mine and my wife's). The issue vanishes on my portable wifi 4G hotspot and my much better office wifi network, so it's probably my router. I've ordered a MUCH better router, and if that kills the problem, I'll know for sure within a week.
I hear this is a common, but situation-specific issue.
phew.... Was getting worried for a bit there. Thanks guys. Hopefully the next webOS update can fix it

I also have this problem. The wireless on the TP will stop working, even though it says it is connected. Disabling and re-enabling the wireless fixes it temporarily.
I also have an 802.11N wireless router. It is a Trendnet TEW-633GR. No other wireless device has ever had an issue with it, so I think the touchpad doesn't handle something properly...
I was surprised to find that this phone supports bot 2.4GHz and 5GHz for wifi. However, I am having a problem getting it to connect to my 5GHz N radio. It will see it and says that the signal is excellent. I type in my WPA key and hit connect. It attempts to connect then goes back to disconnected. If I click on the name of it, it show signal as poor and link speed as -1Mbps. It connects fine to the 2.4GHz radio. The router is a Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H running DD-WRT. Has anyone else had this issue?
i thought wifi was only 2.4ghz on this phone. my 5ghz network doesnt even show on my phone.
5ghz seems to be working fine for me
only certain 5ghz channels are supported. see if ur router is on channel 36 for 5ghz.

I have been able to use channels 140 and 149 as well as 36. What I did notice is that the first time I connect to (the very first time or if I make a change to the router) the wifi signal will drop and start several times.....I find if I just turn off wifi and turn it back on and reconnect it will hold.
Actually, I have it running on 144 and working now. I had to set the mode from N only to NA mixed.

I've got an apple airport extreme. my evo connects just fine on 5ghz
I have a Cisco ISR wireless router and I use strictly 5Ghz. It's wireless-A, not wireless-N, but it's strictly 5Ghz and it scan and uses whatever channel it wants. No issues so far.
I tried N network a while ago on my older phones (not 5Ghz N) and noticed more battery drain VS G. Since then I have switched my N to 5Ghz and just use my ipad3 for it. My phone I keep on G network. I don't see any real point to having it on a N network. G I still pull 10+ megabits down which is more than enough for pretty much anything the phone can do. Not really worth the extra battery drain in my opinion. My ipad I like on higher speed since I stream MKV files but the phone I think is pointless at least for me.

I actually had the exact same problem as you mentioned. The one thing I wanted to add to your excellent description of problem symptoms is that it says "Authenticating", and that is when it drops the signal to -1Mbps. Something during the authentication process seems to kill the radio connectivity. This has not happened on any of my other 802.11n devices. It connects fine on the same router's 802.11g. I had no issues with my previous phone (Samsung Epic Galaxy S).
Interestingly my router is a different brand but perhaps it shares some similar chipset. My equipment as follows:
Bone stock Sprint HTC Evo 4g LTE (on Ice Cream Sandwich, duhh)
Belkin Play N600 HD Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router (F7D8301 v1)
After reading the other posts here it inspired me to play with my Router configs for 802.11N. Turns out after making some adjustments I was able to get connected.
-I had the following selected:
Wireless Channel: Auto
Extension Channel: 40 (grayed out)
Wireless Mode: 802.11a&n -Worked after changed to 802.11n
Bandwidth: 20/40MHz
Protected Mode: OFF -Worked after changed to On
802.11e/WMM QoS: On
I honestly think it was the Protected Mode that made the difference. Here is what the router help page says about that feature: Protected Mode
NOTE: In most situations, best performance (throughput) is achieved with Protected Mode OFF. If you are operating in an environment with HEAVY 802.11b traffic or interference, best performance may be achieved with Protected Mode ON.
So long story short, try turning Protected Mode ON in your 802.11n configs first and see if that gets it going for you. Hope that helps!
P.S. After changes above I ran some Speedtest.net for Android tests (back to back) and got the following from the next room over (about 20 feet from router):
Test 1: On 802.11n: 17024kbps down, 5857kbps up, 27ms ping
Test 2: On 802.11n: 18134kbps down, 6266kbps up, 39ms ping
Test 3: On 802.11g: 15385kbps down, 6091kbps up, 25ms ping
Test 4: On 802.11g: 22212kbps down, 5785kbps up, 43ms ping
My router supports 802.11n but my phones connect only in 54Mbps.
In addtion whenever i set my router to transmit only in 802.11n protocol , the phone can not connect to wifi.
it can see the router but it can not connect
The phone's chip always uses the highest possible compatible protocol.
All you can do is switch frequency between 2.4 and 5Ghz band. (I'd leave it on auto)
You may want to check with another non-similar Wireless-N router. In most cases i've seen this issue the Router wasn't actually N but one of the very early draft Versions (read: pre-beta) of the N-standard and thus had too many incompatibilites with the client for both to understand each other.
This would cause the device to go back to G standard.
ok, how do you stop it using "n". on my HTC I could tell it to use "g" to save power. On my S3, wlan traffic sucks the juice from the battery.
When I turn it to 5ghz band it doesn't find at all my router.my Samsung smart tv works fine with 802.11n , same with my ps 3 and my pc .My router is d link DSL 2740B

My phone connects with the router at 75Mbit/s. The router has a reduced late-draft-N protocol with only 2 antennas so it's correctly using the maximum capacity.
If you have the choice, please try e.g. with a N-supporting Fritzbox of the manufacturer AVM or other similar high-end products. Low-end cheap routers tend to have ****ty hardware.
My router is d link DSL 2740B, I think it is a quite good router with 2 antennas, but as I say my other devices connect fine in 802.11n transmition , my Samsung TV , my playstation 3 , even my galaxy s1 connect with 65Mbps.

Xperia Ray most likely does not have support for anything above 72Mbps.
And to be realistlic, you will only see a difference, if your ISP provides you with internet of 72Mbps or higher.

I dont know if there is any ISP which provides 72Mbps. Its the lan speed of your internal network created using router. If so, how can laptop show 150Mbps?
I was just curious to know if there is any mod solution for it.

Hmm...when you connected you laptop to your router using LAN it will use the full speed of that router (150Mbps) but if you connect it using Wifi (laptop, pc or phone) the speed is cut in haft (72Mbps)....
there no way to modified it cause all router has the same spec for LAN (full speed) and Wifi (haft connection) connection....

WiFi has the possibility for 150Mbps as well.
This cannot be modified, as this is a hardware level idea, thereby editing software will not increase.
Nevertheless, as said already, this speed only indicates to speed between your device (phone/laptop) and router. The real connection speed depends on your ISP and how fast internet it provides you with.

On what things the wifi signal capturing of the phone depends? hardware, kernel, modules?
My ray stops detecting wifi signal of my router if I move away only 10 feet. No problem with laptop, detects till 50 feet.
I flashed all kernels including stock and all modules available on forums. I am using TP link router.
My friend is having nokia n8 and belkin router at his home. His N8 detects wifi signal even beyond 50 feet. He was laughing at me because my ray couldnt detect the signal while sitting in living room and router placed in bedroom.

I've read some reports saying that wifi speed takes a plunge when bluetooth is activated. But the thing is, I'm getting ridiculously slow speeds even with bluetooth OFF.
1Mb download on a 100Mb connection. And it doesn't happen to any other devices.
I'm desperate. Can you guys help? I've already tried changing the DNS but it had no improvement at all
Use inSSIDer and analyze your wifi frequencies. Make sure you're on the best channel and mode.
If you router support it, try both 2.4 and 5ghz. And at least for me, Bluetooth don't have to be connected to tablet to interfere with wifi, maybe you use some other Bluetooth gadgets at home?
