So I recently upgraded from an older router, to a newer dual band 2.4, 5 N600 router and the connection speeds for my tablet are very low. I have a 30/30 connection speed and the prime is the only device that has download speeds at times of 200 kbps, up to about 12 mbps. I have adjusted the MTU, and I am wondering if anyone out there knows of a setting on the router that might be affecting the speed of the tablet. Also when I adjusted the MTU from 1500 to 1400 it greatly affected the Prime's speeds, I did get a couple of 1 kbps down load speed test before the adjustment.
Thanks.

Whenever I do the speed test with my phone, the highest score I've been able to get is 1.27 mbps, but on average its about .80. I live near chicago so I figured I'd get better speeds and I noticed many people are getting up to 5 mbps.
Is there a radio update I need or is this the phone, or is it the area? I test it when i'm outside with clear skies and it stills only shows that much.
I usually get great speeds. My maximum has been near 7 mbit/sec down., and my average is 3 mbit/s.
When I hold my phone tightly, the signal goes down, but I never lose a call or any bandwidth. Try putting the phone on a table.
When I had my G1 I was having crappy speeds (maximum 1.5 mbit/s down, average 0.8 mbit/s) compared to what T-Mobile is capable of. Your problems could be location. Maybe, just maybe, it's the device, but I highly doubt that.
have u try to installed Lagfix? just my 2 cents.
Yes I did. Its been great for the overall function on the phone, but hasn't really affected the date speed.
I am curious to know what the maximum mbps this phone can handle. I am getting fiber optics in about a week 20mbps and am curious if I will be able to take full advantage of that with this phone and if so how much further speed wise can this phone go.

It is compatible with 802.11n networks if thats what your router is putting out

So that would be about 65 MBps

Actually, the theoretical maximum should be 75 MB/s, as the maximum data rate of the 802.11n spec is 600 Mbit/s (divide by 8 for MB).
Of course, you'll never get sustained rates at the theoretical maximum of any data connection really, especially not a wireless type.
btw dont put your hand on the top, that's where the wifi antenna is and mine sufferes a great signal decrease if i do that.
On my laptop I get 30 ms ping times and 20 mbps speed. My View sitting right next to the laptop gets 300 ms ping times and 6 mbps download.
In other words, it sucks.
Any ideas?
Huh.
Tried forgetting my wifi connection and reconnecting. This seemed to help quite a bit. Ping time dropped way down to 52 and speed increased to 11 mbps.
In the short time I've owned my TP, I've been seeing very inconsistent performance of Wi-Fi connections. The short answer is that turning off mixed mode on my routers has drastically improved performance and consistency.
For those who don't know what I mean, the routers have a setting for Network mode with settings like "Wireless G Only", "Wireless N Only" and Mixed meaning that both can be used.
My routers are both Cisco/Linksys, one an E3200 and the other an E2500. The mode on the 2500 was set to N only because that one is used solely for streaming video to my 2 TV's which both have N available. The E3200 was in mixed mode because we have a mix laptops, one of which is an older model that doesn't have N.
On the router with mixed mode, the TP would be reporting Good to Excellent signal strength and connection speeds of 50 - 65 Mbps. However actual performance on the TP would be very inconsistent and speedtest.net usually only reported 3 Mbps. When I tried connecting to the router that was N only, I suddenly started getting a consistent 20 - 25 Mbps.
So, on the E3200 that was previously set to mixed mode, I changed it to G only and now I'm getting 20 - 25 Mbps out of that one too. I had to make it G only instead of N to accommodate the old laptop. Anyway, that change completely cured my wifi issues - at least at home. I haven't taken it on the road yet but obviously I can't control the settings on someone else router.
For reference, on my desktop PC that is wired into the E3200 router, speedtest.net consistently reports about 31 - 32 Mbps (Charter cable promises me 30 so they are true to their word). So with mixed mode turned off, the TP isn't getting that much less speed than the desktop's wired connection.
I have been using Speedtest.net to measure network performance and rarely I sometimes end up with 4G (HSPA+) with a high latency of 600ms ping instead of the typical 60-120ms. What is strange is that if I then switch over to Wifi, the latency is 50-70 ms instead of the typical 10-15 ms and the bandwidth is only 12-15 Mbps instead of 25-30 Mbps download. The problem goes away if I then reboot the phone, where HSPA+ is back to 60-100ms ping and Wifi is again 15 ms with 25-30 Mbps download speed. Any idea what the issue is - do I have a defective radio? The problem has occurred twice so far since I got my phone on Monday.

I have noticed the same ...could be issues with the way the app is testing...I have yet to notice any latency loading pages.
