Guys,
I have an Active but its probably the same for the regular S4.
I was just transferring a bunch of music files to my phone wirelessly and I was shocked how slow it was.
I just got under 2MB/s on a 72mbit link with WPA2 AES encryption.
I had full bars connecting to a Asus AC66U router.
I thought AC wifi is capable of almost gigabit speeds.
How do I see if my phone is using N or AC? Is there a way to force an AC connection.
Anyone else have the Asus AC router?
Can you post your speeds.
Thanks
Oli
Are you transferring to the internal memory or an sdcard.
Make sure you are actually connecting to the right access point. By default, the 2.4 and 5 GHz APs will have the same SSID, so just change one so they are different and always connect to the fast one.
On my rt-ac66u the 5GHz upload (file writing to NAS) speed is nearly 3x faster than the 2.4GHz from phone.

That depends on the Internet speed you pay for through your provider. The router can handle 1GB speeds.

It also depends on the speed of the phones processor and write speeds on the memory card whether it be internal or external. I have an AC66R and it connects at ac speeds I'm assuming. I haven't found a way to find out if it uses ac or something else.

Internet speed doesn't factor in since this is internal network transfer .
Storage write speed could be the factor if writing to a class 2 sdcard.
I have an net gear R6300 AC router and I used the es root explorer to copy files and I get about 9MB/s.. fluctuates a bit.

Are you sure they is no one else around you using the same channel?
I would have rather had usb3 than ac. Wireless is just not reliable when it comes to speed.
(Actually what I REALLY want is gigE. I have 8 drops around the house...could make it 16 if I bought a 16 port switch. That sounds be nice.)

I have the Asus AC router as well. Make sure you name your APs differently (e.g. add a 5G suffix to the 5GHz radio) The phone might connect to the 2.4GHz one otherwise. There is a way to force the phone to pick 5GHz APs, but requires an app/rooted phone:

If you have both networks passworded there is no way it can connect from the 5Ghz to the 2.4Ghz band. That's common sense. Do you take us for idiots? Mine always connects to "The G-Spot 5Ghz". The other network is "The G-Spot 2.4Ghz".

Your S4 will need to use the 5Ghz band for faster speed but it won't get anywhere near the claim of 1300Mbps. That only happens when you have at least three antennas to do MIMO for wifi and most likely a compatible wifi chipset. I am not sure how many antennas S4 has but you can use WiFi Analyzer to check the link speed. Link speed doesn't mean your actual real world transfer speed though.

It shows my S4 connected at a link speed of 433Mbps. The 2.4Ghz band shows a link speed of 72Mbps.

That's what I have when I am connected at home as well. I can safely guess the S4 only has one antenna and 433Mb is the best it can do. For 2.4Ghz one should be able to do 150Mb but I never try. I didn't even try when I can connect to 5Ghz all around the house.

The phone says its wireless N able but I can't seem to get it to see my wireless N network over 5GHz. It sees my wireless G network over 2.4GHz fine but not wireless N over 5GHz evidently.
Anyone gotten theirs to connect to N networks? If so what were your configs for channel, and all that if you mind me asking?
I haven't had any issue connecting to wireless n. I'm connected at home, girlfriends and work. My router is channel 11, gf is channel 6. I don't know about work.

If your on channel 11 then your only on 2.5GHz not 5GHz. do me a favor and while your connected on your Evo3D go into wireless settings and click on the network that your connected to and tell me the speed it shows. Willing to bet its only 65Mbps, which is because your on 2.5GHz and not 5GHz.

There is a difference between A/N and B/N.
B/N is 150Mbs + and has better penetration than A/N. You're asking the wrong question.
Yes, you can connect to a B/G/N network. No you cannot connect to a 5.0GHz anything network.

So this has a single antennae then correct just like the Evo4G did which is why it couldn't connect to 5.0GHz networks?
j/w b/c I can't get past 65Mbps on the connection while I thought the 3D had a better wireless card in it than the 4G. Its not my router as I get boost up to 130Mbps on my laptop connected to same SSID at times.
Just a bummer thought we were getting a true wireless N capable phone.
This makes me wonder even more why they took out N capability in the Evo4G update and never added N to the spec sheet.
A single antenna is not what makes it 2.4GHz vs 5GHz. The single antenna basically limits it to Wireless N, 150Mbps vs 300Mbps. The 5GHz is just the frequency that it travels over, and most mobile devices won't do 5Ghz, and will only have a single antenna.

So your able to connect over 2.4GHz freq and your evo3d shows its connected at 150Mbps??
I have a top of line netgear full dual band router here so I know its not that, esp seeing as my pc connects at 150Mbps over the 2.4GHz band. I'm checking this by just clicking on the SSID after connected on the Evo3D, or checking Status on my PC's connection.
Dont get why I'm always showing 65Mbps on the Evo3D. Would of thought that since they are publishing that they support Wireless N as opposed to the Evo4G who only had 1 antennae, that I would connect at higher speed than the Evo4G. did

There's nothing more misleading than the whole "link speed". I've never seen an actual 150Mbs off of my A/N "300Mbs" connection, and that's with the laptop sitting 4ft from the router. The phone can't utilize anywhere near that bandwidth, and I'm willing to bet that even if your internet is several MB/s, you won't actually find a website to give you more than 1.2MB/s. Microsoft is one of the few that I know of that can really dish the data out.....but how often are you downloading massive updates?

Not concerned with internet speed and more so looking at my internal network speeds for file transfers and such.
I get that it can be missleading but do not get that if the Evo4G which has a less powerful card than the 3D evidently that the 4G and 3D show the same link speeds.
I prob need to check the specs on each phones card really though the more i think about it b/c most i have been going off of is word of mouth like the 4G only having 1 antennae and such. No clue if the 3D has 2 or not.

You'll probably find that the WiFi and BlueTooth antenna are shared....and if a phone has an FM rx, it too will use that antenna. Not likely to find a cellular with dual WLAN antennas.....they're not really built to be a dedicated WIFI anything.
If you're concerned about xfer rates on the phone, yank the SD card out and put it in a reader. That's the fastest way to get data to the phone, followed by hooking up the phone via USB. The phone has no use for WLAN data rates above 15Mb/s. If you're transferring movie files, use the USB connection method. Outside of that, don't sweat it. I honestly couldn't see someone moving GBs worth of data on a constant basis with the phone.....and if you are, sounds like you should look at something with larger storage like a Tablet PC.

I hear ya im aware of outside options. I just thought that since this phone is supporting wireless N fully then the link speeds would be able to be higher than the link speed on the 4G.
But again like i said before i really need to get down to it and look at the documentation of the chips used on the 4G and 3D to see what differences there are.
EDIT:
NVM makes sense now. both phones have the same Broadcom chip inside. the Broadcom BCM4329.
BUT whats odd is that from what i read that chip only supports bluetooth 2.1 while we supposedly have 3.0 on this phone. Also interesting is the chip supports 5GHz dual band. here
I don't think my 3D has connected to 5GHz on my home network. I have a dual-band N router, and I have 5GHz as the primary, so my laptop and media player connect to that immediately.
I only noticed my 3D on the 2.4GHz part of my network. I haven't tried manually connecting it to the 5GHz band, but if it could, I would have assumed that it would automatically.

Well, when it comes to "N", there are several factors that come into play. One, the wireless chip MAY be able to support the A frequencies, you're talking about additional code to make it work with rest of the phone. Antenna isn't an issue since 2.4 is half of 5.0. A 1/2 wavelength 2.4GHz antenna, is about a full length 5GHz antenna if memory serves me correctly (that and the 36hrs I've been up). Another thing that comes into play as far as the bandwidth is concerned is channel width. There is also MIMO too....but the phones will be basic of basic. The fact that N support is enabled is surprising, but it's most likely just a selling point. It supports the most basic N, with the smallest channel width, and clearly MIMO isn't supported. Routers can be configured to B or G or N only, sometimes combos of them as well. I use DDWRT on my routers and it allows virtually everything to be manipulated. Either way though, there is a lot of features to cram into the small area that is the cellphone, and if you ever take a look at a full featured ABGN mini pci-e WLAN card, you will see that there is still a decent size to it when all the features are present.
Ok, I think that's about all I can add to the topic, LOL
N is the technology that delivers faster then G speeds using MIMO packets.
A is the technology that frees up the crowding of B/G Networks by running on 5GHZ as opposed to 2.4GHZ
BGN Refers to a 2.4GHZ spectrum capable of running the N packets.
ABG Refers to a 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ spectrum capable of running the B/G packets.
ABGN Refers to a 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ spectrum capable of running BGN packets.
It's retarded how they label it. LOL but you can run N on 2.4 spectrum or 5GHZ spectrum.
Most mobile devices only see 2.4GHZ spectrum since they only have one antenna.

Actually, abg means that it can use the 802.11a, 802.11b, or the 802.11g standard, and abgn adds 802.11n. 802.11A is a very different standard than N, and is incompatible with the others, whereas B, G, and N are forwards and backwards compatible, except for N going over a 5Ghz signal, which still isn't compatible with A.
All that said, I'm pretty sure that this phone will only support 802.11n over 2.4GHz at 150Mbps. I don't have the phone yet, but I'm basing this off the fact that nearly all portable devices that use 802.11n are that way. At least I haven't seen one that is capable of either using 5GHz, or 300Mbps.

I have the exact same issue. My laptop sees my 5ghz ssid, but my MT4G doesn't. The weird thing is, I've flashed several ROMS to my phone, and none see it. I did however, flash the stock ROM (froyo 2.2.1) today for the sh*ts and giggles of it, and it saw the N ssid! WTF.
I have the speedtest.net app on my phone but i'm getting very high ping ~100+ and download speeds of no more than ~2600kbps I have a 802.11G wifi and a 100mbit connection to the world, do we have such crappy wifi's on our phone?
My wife's LG P500 gets around ~8000kbps on the same router in the same spot
Could you guys who have access to a internet connection greater than 5mbit please try the speedtest.net app and report back to the thread test on wifi only plz
Just ran the app on my phone and PC. PC is running ethernet to the router; phone is obviously on wireless:
Phone is pinging 8ms more, which is expected.
What ROM are you running?
My speedtest app results on wifi ...

I don't have an 5MBit internet connection, but if it makes you feel any better, I have a 30KBps connection.
Just flashed stock KPO
Did try a friends phone an SGS and he gets marginally better results...
Here are my results from a comp (with ehternet) and my phone
Flash a new ROM that's all i can say,
as you can already see people in here are getting such speeds of download/upload
There is nothing wrong with the Wifi adapter.. Flash another ROM as davinder mentioned.. If that doesn't work maybe somethings wrong with the Wifi adapter in your phone..
Just to let you know.
54Mbps is the theoretical max speed of 802.11g . file transfers are dependent on your system, and not just the transfer medium. For instance, if your HDD is being used simultaneously, your transfers are going to be affects by that. 3MB/sec is pretty decent for a wireless G connection IMO. other factors include electromagnetic interference; things like other wifi networks in the area, televisions, microwaves, and 2.4GHz wireless phones will interrupt 802.11 signals.
Ok, so I downgraded and still got the same results, but the comment about the HDD got me thinking about my SD card since it was the only thing on the phone not "stock" and I'm getting better results now wich is quite funny since the card I bought was a higher class Or so I thought atleast

I would think a major limitation would be because the wifi chip + antenna are SISO not MIMO. It could also be a compatibility issue between wireless chipset in the gt-i9300 and the router

There are other special requirements to achieve 450Mbps too...

As mentioned by xtechx, this is a chipset limitation. You'll just have to live with it since it only has a single antenna (meaning it supports about half of the maximum transmission speed of your router for Wireless N), as with most mobile wifi chipsets. Though if I remember correctly, the HTC One supports MIMO (full wifi speeds)

Old post but what the heck.
Wireless devices are built to operate at given speeds.
Common Android device connection speeds are 54Mbits/sec(802.11g), 65Mbits/sec, 72Mbits/sec, 150Mbits/sec(5GHz).
As WiFi is half-duplex, you will never see 'real' data throughput at the listed connection speed.
At very best, you'll probably only see ⅔ the connection speed.
The connection speed is often dictated by the number of antennas a device has and generally max'd out at 150Mbit/sec on 2.4GHz frequency due to 20MHz channel allocation limit, where 40MHz channel allocation is not encouraged.
5GHz frequency connection speeds are generally higher as 5GHz is based on 40MHz channel width.
I have a Sony XPERIA M (C1905) with dual band (2.4GHz/5GHz) WiFi.
5GHz has a connection speed of 150Mbits/sec.
Over 5GHz it has a bandwidth throughput of 109Mbits/sec in an optimal environment.
5GHz is a higher frequency than 2.4GHz so it will not have the same signal strength of 2.4GHz at distance.(trade-off)
If you really want to test WiFi throughput on an Android device, you have to use iPerf for Android and then install a Windows/linux version of iPerf on a NAS/PC.
This will provide true maximum bandwidth/throughput available to your Android device in a LAN where your testing servers should not bottleneck the Android device you are testing.
Because of the channel allocation, you have to have a 802.11ac router if your Android device supports 802.11ac to obtain the max. 802.11ac throughput.

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.

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.
Anyone using Wireless storage on 5GHz network? I want to know the speed of file transfer from PC as I planning to purchase a new router with 5ghz band and 300mbps data transfer. So can anyone help me should I upgrade or stay with my linksys 54mbps 2.5ghz router only.
Any idea on AC routers aur our device supports AC routers.
With linksys 2.5ghz I get 2mbps transfer speed not more than that.

That is actually a good question. I recently got an 802.11n router, might just test it out on it.
