I'm trying to diagnose why my transfer speeds seem to be slow on my HTC One running ARHD 40.3 with latest firmware
I'm downloading one or 2 files totaling 1.56 GB from my Synology NAS device that is plugged into a gigabit switch then ran to my gigabit router which has a gigabit switch on it. I'm connected to the router via 802.11ac (router is Linksys EA6200) on the 5 Ghz band I am reporting anywhere from 80 Mbit to 433 Mbit connection, yet I've only ever seen said files download at 3.5MB/sec, or about 25 Mbit.
Why is this?
If I wire up to my NAS directly and copy files over USB it's considerably faster, so it's not crappy read/write speeds of storage media, it's something with wireless, i can copy stuff to from about 20 times faster from my wired computer as well
Thanks

Have you tried bringing your phone really close to the router while trying to download? You may be experiencing signal attenuation from walls and such.

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
Anyone test their speeds using Internet Connection Sharing? I did a bandwidth test from the phone and got 8.9 Mbits download and 3.6 Mbits upload. Then I then did a test from my laptop and I got 3.5 Mbits upload but my download would not go above 0.6 Mbits. Anyone else noticed this problem?
This is not slow, hsdpa gives 7.2 Mbps speeds only so expected

This phone is capable of 14.4 Mbps, not just 7.2 Mbps. My Carrier is capable of 21 Mbps. This was not the issue. The issue was getting over 8 Mbit/s download speeds on the Titan, but when using Internet Connection Sharing the speed would not be greater them 0.6 Mbit/s. This was tested right after the initial test. The upload speed was very similar though.
As is my understanding, you will never achieve the same speeds when using ICS.
When your phone is communicating with the internet, it is dealing with one lot of data being sent and one lot of data being returned.
But when connecting your computer via your phone, your phone has to take that data from your computer, then pass it on. So it is dealing with one lot of data to/from your computer, and another lot of data (the same data!) to/from the internet - So you are doubling the amount of work the phone does. Your phone only has the one radio chip for this data, so it has to alternate between all the incoming and outgoing data.
You get the same slow-down on home wifi networks if you use a wifi repeater.

I understand that it will be less, but to go from over 8 Mbits on the phone to 0.6 Mbits on my laptop is more then what one should expect as a penalty for connecting thru the phone.
Even with your example of using a wifi repeater the bandwidth is only halved, and that is because the link is using the same frequency band over both hops. In the case of the phone, Internet Connection Sharing is acting like a home router with the cell frequency side the equivalent of the wan port and the software is providing NAT to clients connected on the 2.4ghz wifi connection side so there is no penalty for using the same frequency band.
As I also stated the upload from the phone and the upload from my laptop are the same, around 3.5 Mbits. What I was asking is if other people have had this same discrepancy when using Internet Connection Sharing. Even if the results from just the phone were ignored, the fact that I only got 0.6 Mbits download vs 3.5 Mbits upload thru the phone tells me something is not working properly.
If anyone is seeing this discrepancy between upload and dowload speeds with Internet Connection Sharing let me know.

Have tried same SIM different phone? Different SIM same phone?
It could well be your provider!
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.
Hello,
I have posed this problem on the S4 section, but I got no answer, and it looks to be a global Android KitKat issue...
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 with the newest firmware from Samsung I9505XXUGNF1 (Kitkat 4.4.2) rooted with TowelRoot. My router is a Asus RT-AC66U to which the S4 connects with max speed of 433 Mbps. My internet connection is 120 Mbps.
When I do a speedtest on the S4 I get results of ~120 Mbps. When I download a file over the internet I get full download speeds ~8 MB/s, but when I'm downloading a file over LAN from the disk connected directly to the router I get download speed only of ~20Mbps (2.4 MB/s) which very much sucks!
The same is happening to my Brand new Galaxy Tab S.
It is connecting to the WiFi router with 866Mbps, and files inside the network are download only at ~3 MB/s
My Laptop with Windows 7 have only a N network card, and connects to the router with max 300 Mbps and when I download the same file I get over 7.5 MB/s!! (~65 Mbps).
Speedtest also shows results of over 110 Mbps...
I remember when the phone was new, and it had Android 4.2 (~10 months ago), I had LAN download speeds of over 7-9 MB/s...
I tried with different file managers like X-Plore and others, but it looks like it is not the app problem.
When downloading a file from the laptop, the download speeds get even worst!... less than 1 MB/s!
I have enabled Location and set on "GPS only" in both, the S4 and Tab S
does somebody have the same issue and know what could be the problem?

The problem is now solved by installing newest version of X-Plore v 3.66 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore
LAN download speeds went from ~2.5 MB/S to ~14 MB/s (I think that the limit is now the Hard Drive plugged to a USB 2.0 port on the router)
Thank you Lonely Cat Games for solving this issue!!
Hi.
What wifi speeds is the galaxy S9 plus capable of. I have Gigabit broadband and the max speed I can get on the 5Ghz is 160mbps.
The router from provider isn't the best
Will I get much higher speeds if I upgraded my router or purchased a wireless access point connected to 1gb LAN port and access point capable of 1300mbps on 5Ghz?
Thanks
I have 500Mbps from my provider plus custom router(DIR-882) AC2600 MU-MIMO. And this is what I can get(400Mbps) from room next to my router(3m + wall/door) : http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/4290259062
I've gotten up to about 530mbps once in a while. More typically just under 500.
You need a high end router in order to get higher speeds over WiFi
Try to change to a not frequented channel and set the Bandwith to 80MHz.
I can get 800Mbit/s when nobody other is using the WiFi.
Allways 866Mbps guys.
Tp-Link Vr900
But when i send videos to the nas usually the speed is 40mb/s
Maybe your drive in the NAS can only write with 40MB/s. Remember, that 40MB/s are 320Mbit/s.

I think that with 1+6 i was writing with 50-60mb/s.
Also my nas can write with 1gbit connection (lan) 100mb/s.
Do you have any sort of an extra firewall on your phone?

My S9+ will connect via 5GHz to my Netgear R8500 at a LAN speed of 1083Mbps - but you have to be within 3m/10ft to get that speed. It falls back to 866Mbps pretty quickly if you are only just a little further away.
Real-world download/throughput performance will be lower.
