Is 65mb the fastest wifi on the Note? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

When on 5mhz N the max I get is 65mbs. I know my network will go 300 so is this a limitation of the Note?
Thanks!

anytime a device is using a dual band router...5ghz is the fastest on wifi.....make sure when choosing it..your wifi setting are not on 2.4 or auto...make sure your on 5ghz as well to achieve maximum performance..do this by clicking menu in wifi setting I believe

Hmm, tried that but no change even when standing right by the router.
Thanks though.

I think you have reached the limit of the device if you are seeing 65....g

if your just looking at your wifi screen and it says 65mb....that's not telling you much at all...download speedtest app in market....make 2 profiles 1 with your 2.4 ghz with password on router and a 5ghz one....now scan your phone and simpky try each and test each one separatetly on wifi, that's the only way to know what ghz is really faster, then looking at the wifi login screen..

You must not live in the US. I would kill for those speeds.

Are you sure your not looking at this menu..lmao....Yes the picture of my 2.4 ghz says 65mpbs but with testing. the note will never achieve this value..believe me...the most I have ever seen is upper 40's on wifi....the picture of your your wifi screen means hardly nothing...testing it on speedtest will verify what thkse actual wifi speeds are

What kind of network you have that has 300mbs? Fios gives me 30mbs
This some corporate Internet you using?

Yeah so is mine but that'll only give you local transfer speeds, not from the Internet

It's been a while since I looked ...
But the note maximum wifi capacity is in the 50-60 range I believe ...
Again ...I honestly can't remember.
That sure would a nice speed ...
My best is around 10 down ....g

This is my fastest on wifi...some higher on Lte...I made a thread in general section called Att apn hack if interested...here's my screen shots..
so yes its possible..

by the way, wouldnt the note write speed limit you anyway?
like your connection is 300mb u say. so say you had it transferring at 250mb....but could it? since i doubt the note could write data that fast? well at least not to the emmc. doesnt where u writing to internal or external matter as to how fast those memory/drives are?

Is this phone actually faster than the 4g?

Hello, I just got a new evil 3d becuase of the dual core processor because I thought that the internet would be faster. Is there a configuration needed? With my 4 g my speeds are in the 400 and now with the 3d "dual core" processor I'm in the 200's
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The processor has little to do with internet speeds. It helps, making things more responsive, but the signal effects the data speed. And the antenna on the 3D are at the bottom near where you'd hold the phone which could degrade the signal.
Is the phone faster than the 4G? Yes. Does that mean you'll get faster data? Not necessarily.

You'll return it in a week, once you see how slow 3g is with sprint.
IF your lucky, you might get 100k up / down, but typically, only 25k

This is dependant on location. I'm not doubting you are experiencing slow network speeds, but it's purely a matter of tower saturation, and your surroundings. I'm consistantly seeing downloads in the range of 1.0-1.7 mbs. Sometimes, at night, I can break 2.0 mbs, but that's because there isn't much activity. But, I'm in a major metropolitan area, with strong network coverage from the major 4 carriers. There was a blip for about 8 months where the speeds were really slow, but Sprint fixed the tower by my house, and now I'm back to normal.
And, to the OP, I didn't notice any difference in download speed between my Evo 4G, and Evo 3D.

exactly it all matters were u are with any network. ive been with sprint forever and ive always seen consistent 3g speeds in my hometown ranging from .8-1.7mbps recently ive moved from the east coast to the west coast and im still seeing great speeds but not the same around .5-1.0 which still works and i somehow managed to move from the best 4g city to another great 4g city haha always see speeds of 5-12mbps

The Airave doesn't provide 4G Signals. It does however provide 3G Data Connection which is usually faster than what you'd get from a Sprint Tower. Also Depends on your internet connection that you'd be hooking the Airave up to.
I just hooked up the airave and I went from 0.2 to 1.3 . It's bad assets. I recommend everybody call Sprint and get it. It's freeeeee.

My evo 4G is actually a lot better about picking up a 4G signal, but the speeds are about the same with both. The 3G and 4G antenna are still on top with the 3D but the wifi and Bluetooth are indeed on the bottom of the phone.
If you're not getting at least 600kbps on 3G call sprint and let them know. That's the minimum speed they advertise do usually they'll credit your account for it.

So I was messing with data settings and found similar settings in this we know of from og EVO etc
If there is a post on this sorry
Just wondering if anyone else messed with it
Obviously msl is needed either the reader from the market or via sprint you can get it .
Also if using msl reader root privs are needed
I think there is other ways those who know more please feel free just learning

T-mobile on i717 slow data speed

Yesterday I bought an i717 rooted and installed every rom, ICS, GB, and tried every modem. Telus, Blaze, KID, VK1...set all the WCDMA 1700 only... and tried use HSPA only, *#*#4636#*#* and *#2263#...just give me a speed of download 0.5mb upload 0.03mb...what should I do???
Is it the phone defect??? hope any pro can help me.
I would get $20 paypal donate to him if someone fix my issue... first come first serve.
If you normally get speeds faster than that its most likely a phone defect.

try an app on the market called 3g/4g optimizer, saw about it on another thread. Helped me alot
I saw one guy here putting 2 pieces of aluminium foil and his phones speed increased
try it and see if it works on your phone!
also go to a different area and try your speed with speedtest.net

It's not an exact solution, but you can use "Wi-Fi Kill" app to block other devices in network. So, your relative speed will be higher.
Google has kicked out this app from Play Store, but you can find its APK on Internet. Just, search..
What will wifi kill do exactly? ?

WiFi Kill spoofs ARP replies to trick other devices on the network into thinking your Android device is the router. Then, it drops all their network packets.
Will that crash the server tho? In other words.. will it get me in the ****

Which type of server you are talking about?
Original Wi-Fi router (with default gateway) and your device will work fine. So, servers on these two devices will work fine.
So mine and the router will be fine. Just all the other wireless connections will go down? Or does this include wired? Im guessin not.. but i aint riskin all the pcs goin down

As your device can't send ARP replies to wired clients without magic, wired clients will not be affected. Only wireless clients will be victims.

Throttle remover

Has anyone made a throttle remover for ics yet?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
You don't get throttled...so why would you need a remover?
If you're throttled I've been told by Verizon it's because you're congesting the tower you're currently at. I guess that means if you're in a different area than where you sucked down all those GBs you should be normal speed.
But Nah not that I've seen. No throttle remover.

wildstang83 was one of the people making these things maybe try pm'ing him. For what its worth Verizon throttles on their end not the phone end so its just a placebo effect.
Also from what I can remember Verizon had once said that if they do throttle you it will remain in effect till the end of your billing cycle. That was over a year ago and things change so I could be wrong. I've also heard they won't throttle 4g but have never seen anything in writing from Verizon but it makes sense as it can handle larger loads.
I used to make the mod on the dinc and we all found out it was a placebo effect so we stopped making them.. it doesn't do anything

When I was living in Ohio I took the bus to work. I'd just charge both extended batteries, keep the spare in my bag, and just watch Netflix during the trip (4 hours altogether.) Used 4G and never got throttled and usually used 8-9GB a month.

Most of At&t's "4G" network isn't really 4G either. HSPA+ is 3.5G. Only their LTE network is true 4G.

There's a way to unthrottle over on Rootzwiki that works for any phone with init.d support. If you search for PowerBoost it is located in that thread. I have used it on 3G at my house before I got 4G on Sunday and for the 3G parts of my commute and can tell you it certainly works.

Download link: http://min.us/lhg5dyllrTInG
Unzip the pb 2.2 then use script manager to run the script in the unzipped file, run as root. Your phone will reboot, open terminal and type....

Sysrw
Powerboost
Then your on your way to unthrottle.

It is but people still think they get some benefit out of modding the phone to remove it. I've never seen anything except anecdotal proof that it works but there isn't any harm in doing it so more power to anyone who thinks it will help.

if you want to get pedantic about it, current LTE networks aren't 4G either. We need to wait for LTE Advanced for actual 4G
