My G5 gets only 60MBs from my router which should provide 90MBs, I tried to factory reset, clean cache, force using ipv4, nothing worked though.
Do you think 60MBs is the limit for the G5 ?
What speed are u getting on yours ?
** Checked the speed with speed test by ookla app**
Idk if it's important: my router supports only wifi 802.11n while the G5 supports 802.11ac
Thx in advance
If you have other devices like laptop pc or tablet then check on those too. I cant help as my wifi from sky (uk) only gives me 12 mps anyway

It's not the phone itself. I get close to 90 MB/s on 2.4 & 5 GHz WiFi at home. LG G5 H830. Some routers don't live up to the speeds they promise, so check with a laptop on wifi.
I agree with jeffsga88. I have a 50MBs at home but my phone gets only 30MBs. My other devices also get the same speed. It might not be because of the phone so maybe you can also check your other handhelds.

I get 90 MB/s on 2.4 or 5 GHz on my G5. Funny thing my laptop on 2.4 GHz only gets around 60 MB/s lol.

My laptop gets between 70 and 80 MBs
But i found a way that boosts the speed in my G5 to 90 which is the maximum using an app that disables Ipv6 ( it seems like since marshmallow android devices have issues with it

Guess that would be dependent on how your router and ISP are handling ipv6 as well. I'm using ipv6 on my g5 and have no issues getting 90 mb/s. Also probably could have something to do with how the specific rom your on is handling ipv6. I'm on RR and don't remember what my speeds were with stock. Anyways, glad you got your higher speeds on your phone finally.
Reviving an old(ish) thread.
I am getting 275mb/down and 175mb/up on my old Galaxy Note 4.
My newer LG G5 is sitting right beside and topping at 85mb/down and 80/up.
There definitely seem to have an issue with the G5's wifi adapter.
If LG G5 is plugged in, i can get 400 Mbps down from my Asus RT-AC3100 on my Optimum 400/40 plan on the 5 Ghz band. Thing is, that happened only once for some reason.
Maximum i usually get is 165 Mbps down on 5 Ghz band, 100 Mbps down on 2.4 Ghz band, on battery.
I have a noticeable difference between using WiFi on 2.4GHz vs using WiFi on 5GHz frequencies. The 2.4GHz download speed tops out between 50-60mbps while the 5 goes as high as my ISP plan allows.
I have three other phones confirm it is not my WiFi router or settings. LG Nexus 5x, Samsung Galaxy S6, and Sony Xperia Z5 all produce similar speeds on both 5 and 2.4 frequencies.
This RS988, and a previous exact model i returned to get this as a replacement don't produce good speeds on 2.4GHz.
I've tried this on Linksys wrt3200acm and Linksys EA8500, and the results agree.
~50-60Mbps download speed on 2.4GHz.
~120-130Mbps (my limit set by ISP) on 5GHz.
This is not cool at all!

I noticed my WiFi signal isn't as strong as my original Epic was. Does this phone support wireless N?

I tried N on my evo a while back and thought it sucked my battery down compare to G. My N network shows up fine on my 3D although I haven't tested it cause G is plenty fine for the 3D. Plus I get excellent battery life leaving wi-fi on G and don't really need the speed bump going to N. I don't think N will work on 5Ghz though. My ipad2 will see a 5Ghz N network but not my evo. So if your N is on 5Ghz it won't even show up in your list, at least it didn't for me.
I get between 65 and 72 mbps with my 3D on my 4G i was topping off at 54mbps.
That really is too bad... I thought I remembered having read somewhere that the 802.11 chipset in the 3D supported 5Ghz..? If that's the case I would be curious if a different firmware or driver might be able to enable use of the 5Ghz spectrum.

My ipod touch 4th gen won't see a 5Ghz N network either. I ended up switching my N network back to 2.4 since hardly anything even sees a 5Ghz network.
The evo3d does support n but only on a 2.4ghz signal. Your router must be set to that signal in order to use it. It will not see 5ghz ssid. I average 78 to 94 mbps on wifi. Hope this helps.

I could be standing right next to the router and not get better than a 11 mbps rate when the cable service is 25 mbps (and the computer reaches that high). Why would that be? I looked in all the Linksys settings and cant see what could be changed.

I believe so. My routers settings page shows mixed mode b, g and n and all of the other settings seem to be set to auto.

do you currently have a 802.11b device connected at the same time as the Evo 3D?
802.11n on the 2.4 side, might be talking slower because you have a slower device connected? (maybe an old iPhone, or old laptop or something?)
If that doesn't work, take off mixed mode, and set it only to n, or at least G and N.

Well you might have to invest in a different router. Your router needs to be set at 2.4ghz in order for the 3d to see the ssid and connect. Otherwise it will only see the g. Try updating your routers firmware and see if that might help. Also call the tech support or check the routers website to see if it supports 2.4ghz

Not a bad thing. A netgear 3500 dualbad will only set you back about 170 + warranty of course. But look at it like this do it now and its over. Got mine from bestbuy with a 4yr warranty. With this router you can have multiple networks setup. I have the 5ghz for my 3 desktops and my laptop which support the signal. Then I have the 2.4ghz n just for the 3d. Then I also have a guest network for friends who visit and want to connect which is a,b,g or n. You can configure the networks as you see fit. Its a great investment imo and with the 4yr warranty you covered. Hope this helps.

Yeah the EVO 3D does not support 5ghz N Band.....at least it doesn't detect mine.
Does any phone out support 5 GHz wireless n? I'm not positive but I don't think so. And even if it does what ISP has speeds that even come close to the speeds available in that spectrum? I have 5 GHz n on my computer and yes it performs better on speed tests than my 3D but Time Warner isn't selling 300 Mbps service. My 3D and my OG EVO both cap out at 72 Mbps which I attribute to "good neighbor" mode in 2.4 GHz which basically never let's you use channel bonding that is required for higher speeds. That being said 72 Mbps is more than sufficient for anything I'm doing on my phone especially considering my service is only 15/2 Mbps. On a separate note I did notice the Samsung 10.1 tab does support 5 GHz.

Is the N on a separate chip in the 3vo? I don't understand how N would suck the battery faster than G. I thought N was more efficient than G.

Don't forget the 3D can act as a dlna server si you can use more speed.
I was wondering if any prime owners tryed to connect on a N-Only wifi?? on the box it says a/b,g,n wireless but when i try to set my wifi to N-Only, i can see the network but theirs no way the prime is connecting to it. I have to switch it back to either Mixed or G/N Mixed, and then im able to connect with a max connectivity with router of 54mbps. This problem was present before and after ICS update, my router is a Asus RT-N12 (tryed with stock firmware, updated stock firmware and with DDWRT). I Would like to know if any of you guys tryed this out I feel i'v been kinda scammed
PS. (I checked out on Q&A for the prime and couldnt find any post related to this if you guys know there is already one, please just give me the link i'll continu posting on the other thread thanks)
I can't connect to my "N" router either. Mine doesn't even show up in my TF.
is it a TF prime or the first one?
N-5ghz is not supported, putting it in 2.4Ghz mode should work (at least, it does on mine... whether there's a difference or not is another thing)
I can connect my prime to my router with N only as long as its on 2.4GHZ and between channels 1-11. I wish I could pick up 12-14 because I live in an apartment complex with crowded wifi. Router is Cisco E2000 with DDWRT firmware...
The link speed showing on the network signal app only maxes at 54 mbps though. I can stream 1080p mp4s from my network drive though so its fast enough for me...
RT-N12 is operating on 2.4ghz and does not support 5ghz. Are you sure you are in "N-Only" mode or are you in "Mixed"??
This has been discussed in great detail in general section. Its known Prime can't connect to 5Ghz. set it to 2.5 or G only. G only seems tl yield best results. also check this article out..might help.
www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30664-5-ways-to-fix-slow-80211n-speed
Yes, it connects 2.5 N only but the performance is pathetic. Prior to ICS, I got curious changing my 2.5 GHz band to strictly G. Saw an immediate boost in performance + speeds.
Yes so far I am very disappointed. I just got the Prime today and it immediately updated to ICS. Once that was done I started checking out the wifi ability right away, because of all the bad reports all over the internet. Much to my surprise, mine doesn't see my wireless N either. I had the TF101 prior and it worked fine with my router. My Samsung E4GT phone sees it just fine, and what really hurts is my wife's iPad 2 sees it, connects to it and pulls just under 20mbps speeds.
To say this sucks is an understatement. I hate losing to Apple in any way, and here I am with the latest and greatest Android tablet, and being punked by a nearly year old IOS device.
Crap

What do you stream over 5ghz network to iPad? 1080p movies? It redundant...just turn down to 2.4 and everyone is happy.
Having a technically higher spec which does not improve on daily usage is redundant.

Exactly, the prime doesn't support the 5Ghz frequency. Only supports 2.5ghz N or whatever. There's only a few tablets that do actually support 5ghz. All it takes is a simple change n it'll work. THE whole argument that it should work on any network is b.s. Especially if you have it set to something not supported. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
I've always used N-Only. I get a decent connection to my Transformer Prime with it too.
Mines is the cheap Belkin N150 router so I doubt it does that 5Ghz range as that seem like a setting for a higher priced N router.

Point 1: Your are in the US, so you are not allowed using anything except 1-11 by FCC regulations.
Point 2: N-Only often turns on channel bonding in soho equipment like yours, so it needs 8 full channels to use it properly. Each channel is 5 MHz apart from the other and a WiFi device uses channels in a/b/g that are 20 MHz wide, in 11n with channel bonding (which is an optional feature for the high data rates) they use channels of 40 MHz. So dividing the 40 Mhz by 5 Mhz makes using of channel 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7. If you would live in Japan, on only country that is allowed to use channel 14. So for US it would be channel 11-4. This explains why channel bonding in the 2.4 GHz band is a band ides unless you are living in a big ranch 500 feet away from the next WiFi router.

Cool device, taken from the specs page of belkin.com:
Security: Wi-Fi Protected Setup, 256-bit WEP (64-128bit), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2- PSK (AES) with WPS Push Button
Range of up to 1,000 ft.
Link Rate: Up to 150Mbps in 40MHz Channel Mode Bandwidth 20 MHz & 20/40 MHz auto
ISP Protocols Supported Dynamic, Static, PPPoE, PPTP, Telstra Bigpond, L2TP
Compliant Standard IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
So no 11n support per specs, but the Overview page tells 150 MBits are supported, so it can run 75 Mbits without channel bonding and 150 with.
Try out the WiFi Widget it tells you the data rate to the WiFi router.

I spent the extra money to purchase a dual band router, so I could broadcast N and G as two separate signals. As I understand it, if you broadcast both on a single signal, and you have some older devices that require and connect to the G band, it will automatically cut the speed back, to whatever the slowest device connected is capable of. At least that is the way it was explained to me. So the N was on 5ghz and G was on 2.4ghz. It has always worked with any other wireless N device I have had, until I got this "latest and greatest" tablet. So yes now I have downgraded my wireless network to only 1 band, to accommodate the Prime.

If you have 2.4ghz g network, prime should be able to detect it. Check if your dual band is working properly...
Wireless n is impt only if you stream HD movies. I stream music on g with no problem at all.
I know you feel frustrated, and I know it sucks as prime is supposed to be PRIME. If you intend to stream HD movies to prime you may have to "down grade" to 2.4ghz if not wireless N is kind of overrated or "miss used" as I see no use of having to stream HD to non HD devices. If you are a home theater enthusiastic or business it then wireless n 5mhz is a must.
Hope you can move on to appreciate the quad core of prime than dwelling on this issue.
Cheers!

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.
Thanks in advance.

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.

In this day and age of 802.11n I would have thought that a tablet would consistently connect at speeds of 100 - 150 Mbps, even 300 Mbps doesn't seem like an unreasonable expectation if the signal strength is good. However, the fastest I've seen on my Tab Z is 72 Mbps. Is this speed a hardware limitation? Anyone connecting faster?
Answer:
What makes 802.11n different is the specification’s support of multiple radios and antennas that can transmit/receive multiple data streams – called spatial streams. In 802.11n vernacular, these send and receive antenna configurations are noted as 1×1, 1×2, 2×2, or 3×3. These numbers indicate how many transmit and receive antennas and radios are in an 802.11n access point (AP) or client. They determine how many different spatial streams of data can be sent at one time to improve signal reception.
More antennas and streams mean faster speeds, less dead zones, fewer dropped connections, and better coverage. 802.11n 1×1 Wi-Fi adapters don’t take advantage of 802.11n’s multi-stream capabilities so they can only reach a maximum data rate of 72 Mbps. A 1×2 802.11n adapter with two receive streams can double the maximum data rate to 150 Mbps. Take it up to 3×3, the maximum data link can reach 450 Mbps.

In this day and age of 802.11n I would have thought that a tablet would consistently connect at speeds of 100 - 150 Mbps, even 300 Mbps doesn't seem like an unreasonable expectation if the signal strength is good. However, the fastest I've seen on my Tab Z is 72 Mbps. Is this speed a hardware limitation? Anyone connecting faster?

Why not try Googling "wireless n 72mbps" - you'll see loads of stuff about this on various devices

Good and how do we go from 72 mbps to 100 mbps or more.
There are solutions for this?
Try using 5Ghz router.

With 5Ghz you can get 300mbps.

probably your device connects to 2.4Ghz band on your router. Check your settings to connect it in 5Ghz mode.

Rate this thread to express how you think the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
it does'nt have dual band wifi
Going by the way Asus is targeting its phone and the audience appeal. Definitely it will be developer friendly. With the recent drift by the Asian OEM's moving closer to "Openess" i believe they will allow BL unlock and release the kernel sources as well. (Example, Xiaomi's approach have change towards kernel sources. And now you can buy Redmi 5, minus wait time and flash sales). All the best to Asus for bringing in this device, looking forwards for Developer community to accept it and bring in some action.
Can any one confirm that dual band wifi works or not. Because dual band is supported by soc but not listed in spec sheet

This ****ty phone only comes with WLAN 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz and not 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac.I've checked this on the official asus website.

I have also checked the website but in flipkart (e-commerce website) shows a,b,g,n is supporyed
As far as I remember, Asus always had bug in their software. Some Zenfone 5 got freeze when unlocked, Fonepad 8 brightness bug not solved. Maybe when custom rom ready, we can have ac Wi-Fi.
Up till now, there is no confirmation about the wifi ac. No one has tested it yet. From the SD636 spec, it stated SD636 should have integrated WCN3980 wifi ac (not like SD625 which can have separate module). Maybe the wifi ac is disabled to make sure it doesn't compete with the premium product?
ZenFone Max Pro doesn't have Wi-Fi AC. Even the Wi-Fi n has issues. After software upgrade it causing me problems after problems!
can any one confirm what is the max link rate achievable on the 2.4ghz band . Does it atleast got 2 x antenna to support higher throughput
As these days 2.4ghz on phone is good if we have 2x or more antenna to support spatial stream.
I have seen upto 173Mbps which is good and not possible if it dont have 2x antenna. As if the phone is dual band they dont host 2x antenna which can boost 867Mbps on ac and 300Mbps on 2.4ghz which is hard to come. What do they do with all the power just game. . Also ditching type c is really bad. I am disliking this model
wifi connection problem
can any one pls confirm, if they are having the same issue with asus zenfone max pro m1 --
google play store(many times), norton live update(havent worked yet) , and chrome (crashes and has to be restarted to access internet), these all are not working over wifi when mobile data is turned off or phone is in airplane mode. and when i try to turn off the wifi to switch it on again, the button when moves from right to left, the motion is jittery and not smooth, it hangs for a fraction of a sec in middle.
also my phone's -- android security patch level shows 1 may 2018 with build number opm1.ww_phone-15.2016.1805.318-20180712 ? is it the latest or asus have released any latest after this?
1 more issue-- under network & internet > mobile network > network settings, there it shows 2 mobile networks, where it shows one as card 1 (which is actually airtel)but other correctly as vodafone IN. the displays shows CARD 1 / VODAFONE IN.
and 1 more thing-- the option of enhanced 4g lte mode is available under 1 sim only.?? are those ****ty things happening with my device only or its universal apocalypse.
in short- accessing internet over wifi has many issues with many apps not detecting the internet.
lol...1 more issue--- in the quick settings drop down menu where it shows signal ,time battery etc there is no option of mute, or volume adjustment or volume profile soft key or am i missing something here. though volume menu is integrated separately and only pops up when u press hardware vol up/down key. what a ****ty device
Many apps doesn't work on wifi only work in mobile data. Don't know why many people has this issue.
Guysss my maximum speed i can get on speed test wifi is 57 mbps . But my home wifi maximum speed is 100 mbps . I can get 100 mbps speed test if i use my samsung s8 plus. Is the limit of asus max pro m1 only around 50 mbps? Can't go much higher or what is the max speed max pro m1 wifi can get ? Please reply guys thnx.
check your link rate. If its less than 86Mbps you cant hit 100 for sure. Its so wiered 6gb is showing less . Not sure on 4gb variant.

Hi, it show 72 mbps on wifi info shown on my device zenfone max pro m1 4gb variant. Weird 2.4 ghz only can reach 57 mbps highest while my Samsung s8 plus 2.4 ghz can reach 100 mbps. Same setup no download during test. Maybe it's software not optimized? Anyone please test your wifi highest speed can get how much. Thnx.
N00b disclaimer: I do not vouch for the authenticity of what I state below
1) Our device supports only 2.4Ghz WiFi, however I believe the hardware may support 5Ghz.
2) Default Wifi bonding module probably throttles the speed and tweaking the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini will support 40Mhz and speed up to 150Mbps (Magisk module available but not tested)
3) I have checked the WCNSS file (found 4 instances) and seen that there is no channel bonding mode defined for 2.4Ghz but it is defined for 5Ghz as 0. Devs may be better able to understand the implications.
Note: I have a 6GB 601KL variant running stock rooted v318 firmware with TWRP recovery.
It means that our phone is capable of running 5G ? It requires 5ghz of band something like that . I don't know much about it . Maybe Asus has kept it as a surprise for the users inside the hardware
I just hope in the future update our device support faster than 60 mbps wifi speed.

Well Asus has surprised us by keeping the Camera2Api code in its stock firmware which is why it can be enabled with ADB without root. But don't get your hopes up !
Who use more than 30Mb/s in smartphone ?
It's no make difference in daily use.
For me, 5GHz is not relevant.
