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.

I blame the router, I upgraded from a trendnet tew-673gru dual band to an Asus rt-n66u dual band and it made a huge difference.

No problems here on a Cisco e4200. One floor up and getting full signal from my router, almost exact bandwidth I get on my wired desktop.

I'm not sure i'll have to check that. Once I do that, I'm going to load DD-WRT for more control over the hardware.

There's actually a few of them. I chose IPV4 (there's actually one named specifically "for faster wi-fi") (I'm paraphrasing but something like that) I chose that one.. then there were a few others. I chose "faster media streaming". Dude, just download it and check it out. Go to network and internet. There's too many tweaks to name.

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.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
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.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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.

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.
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?

Well, technically it shouldn't take more than a few seconds. Put the phones in the same spot, and check the signal strength in dBm.
I agree, those that have it the rest of the world is dying to know!
How is the signal? Is it the same radio that's in the GS3?

Curious to know from those who upgraded from HTC Thunderbolt with frequent LTE disconnects if the issue remains, which points to network issue, or eliminated but it'll probably require at least a week to confirm.
Coming from GNex, plz let it be better then that :fingers-crossed:
I'd like to think it is slightly better because the size of the device means the antenna can be farther from anything that will cause noise or something. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

I really hope it's got a better radio than the GNex. I've been limping along with that thing for the last year. I'll go from a 20 megabit connection to no data without even moving locations.
I kind of hated ordering the Note2 blind, but I've been waiting for a note to arrive on verizon since the note1 came out. If the radio is lousy, well at least I can draw with it.

Much better than the GS3 I had, even when I was using all the different types of radios that were available.
Data connection is faster too. Most likely as a result of NOT using a piece of $hit snapdragon SOC.

I think my rezound has a snapdragon SOC, and it has no problems with reception or data speeds. Get up to 40 down and 15 up on it.
Samsung has a history of bad radios on Verizon. It's really the only potential negative of this device.

cool, going to head over to verizon store and play with it and dna and look at signal strengths. I only get 1-2 bars in the hospital so if its worse, I might not have signal.
The rezound had good 4g reception but average 3g reception; the galaxy s3 had good 4g reception and below average 3g reception. Anyways I hope folks provide good feedback and 4g, 3g and cellular reception for the note. Very interested in this phone (though it is bigger than I would like). To be honest I would go with the DNA if it had a large battery. Don't take me wrong I think the note has a lot of nice unique feature I just wish it was a bit narrower.

i have my galaxy nexus and my note 2 side by side and signal strength is the same with a slight edge to the note 2. I am looking at the signal strength in options and not the bars.
I have notes 2 and DNA side by side at the possibly worst corner in terms of cell signal.
Note 2 is extremely unstable. keep on switching between LTE to 3G to no signal (the round circle with a cross over the center. usual stop sign)
while DNA has a full bars for CALL. and 1x for data. It is slow, but it is stable and usable.
SHAME ON YOU SAMSUNG. Why put such a stupid radio chip on such a good device otherwise.

Only matters when you are in weak signal areas. If you're seeing -70 to -80 DBMS or lower you're in a decent area. What the Gnex couldn't handle was the weaker areas. Where my rezound was -85 or so the Gnex was -100 or worse. I'll post something when I get back to my office. I'll do a compare and post it. If the Note 2 is anything like the Gnex it will end up the same way with me. Returned! I don't care how cool the phone is.

Do you have dBm readings that you could post for a comparison? The data switching between 1x, 3G, and 4G could be fixed in an update hopefully.

the dbm on N2 was jumping from -120 to -98 to -75 and the data connection is ON and OFF. That is frustrating.
My location (my cubicle) here now is like a stress test case in terms of cellphone cell strength in a weaker environment.
IN good coverage, everyone is happy. Both phones are -75dbm and stable.
In weaker ones, N2 can't hold on to a data connection.
I really want to love it, but in this checkbox, there is no competition.
It does perform well in battery category tho.
And by the way, refer to your other post, the screen is not brighter than DNA screen. even put to full brightness. It is just so pathetic putting them side by side to compare.
I will continue test until this evening. If the data connection weakness is confirmed, I have to take N2 back to store. I feel it will make my wife crazy to see me carrying both giant 5 inch phones each costing more than 600 USD combining all costs...
Hey guys, I have fios with 50/25 mbps I can get around 40 with my laptop but my note is getting low teens. I switched from a wep security to wpa2 security whichever increased my wifi on my laptop but not on my phones (note 2 and ssg3).
Any ideas how to increase this? Am I missing a setting when connecting to wifi? At the moment, my 4g is faster than my wifi.
Upload speeds are fine... Actually higher than my download speeds. Seems like something is restricting my download speed.

Same set up here...with similar results. I did some research on this as my ipad2 (which is now in a drawer thanks to the Note 2 BTW) wasn't getting anywhere near the speed I would have expected despite it supposedly being N compatible (my lenovo laptop gets 45 Mbps down all the time). Best answer I could find is that not all wireless radios are equal and can't handle the same speeds.
I have a 25 download connection on FIOS, and am sitting in my living room about ten feet from my router. I just ran a test on my laptop and phone via speedtest.net, and got 24/5 on the laptop and 25/6 on the Note 2. Initially I was going to respond to your post and say I am used to the same result you are seeing, but I just proved myself wrong.
When I'm in other parts of the house however, I do tend to see more of a performance degradation on the phone vs. the laptop...I don't have any exact data at the moment since I'm feeling too lazy to walk upstairs and repeat the test, but I do know the falloff happens more rapidly on the phone with distance from the router.
This is what I get on my Comcast 50/15 connection.
Desktop hardwired: 59Mbps down / 12Mbps up
Desktop wireless: 55Mbps down / 12Mbps up
Note 2: 40Mbps down / 16Mbps up
My desktop on wireless connects at 144Mbps, while my Note 2 only connects at 72Mbps. Both are within 4' of the router. Both using the same SpeedTest.net server.
I've noticed a huge difference in WiFi speeds between the different radios, the one that had given me the best spotted on WiFi is VRAMC3. The one that gives me the best speed on LTE is L4. The speed definitely differs from which radio you flash, that's why I wish Samsung would give our devs access to their radio tools and let us build our own. I guarantee if they did we wouldn't see this kind of crap.

My S4 is rooted and it does it on both TW and aosp ROMs. I know Comcast is a pretty popular company so I'm hoping another S4 owner can help me figure this out. Thanks

What does comcast advertise your speeds at? I have a 50mb connection at my house but am only able to pull about 22 down. It might not be the phone either, it could be your router as well. When you were testing the speeds was there anyone in your house downloading or streaming something because that would affect the test as well.

It seems like your node is messed up or the modem.
Comcast does not offer these kind of upload speeds or it's simply your phone trolling you.

My Verizon S4 (i545) over Wifi just got 14.26 Mb/s download , 15.89 Mb/s upload.
For contrast, my desktop gets 28.52/31.58 - so the phone is slower.
OK, maybe it's the wireless infrastructure here. But my Galaxy Tab 2 gets 16.55 download 11.25 upload.
I will say that the numbers I'm getting seem to vary a lot from run to run.
Edit: I forgot - I use FiOS. Not slowpoke Comcast, which may be the entire cause of your 4 Mb/s cap.
For me, same problem with Comcast. (2-5mbps wifi)
Solution: Dump their Xfinity "all in one" modem. Soon as I put my personal modem (Moto something or another) on the line, bam, 30+mbps on wifi. Only downside was I lost my land line phone ability.
Hope this helps.

Try changing your encryption type. Seems counter intuitive, but see what happens on WEP. It will only give you g speeds (around 18 mps max probably) but may work. I've seen this happen on plenty of Apple stuff, never any android though. Also, do you live in an apartment? Try an app called WiFi analyzer, see how many networks are around you. More than 10-12 and that could be part of it as well. I have seen apartments with 40-50 networks visible, and everybody had terrible wifi speeds.

I can't I have the thriple play bundle with the wifi, home security, and the cable.. I don't think they'll let me
It is a known issue with Comcast using I think Linksys router.
I had the same problem, I flushed my router with dd-wrt firmware and applied some commands and firewall block and my download went up to 50.
Search on Google Comcast ssdp. And you will see solutions.

Ya I have the triple Play bundle too, just no home Security. They will absolutely let you put a personaly owned modem on the line. You will still have to pay for theirs though.... (Found out the hard way)
I was having this issue and I switched to my 5 ghz wifi on my router and I actually gained about 10 megs
