Hi,
As a 1.3d user from the beginning. I was annoyed by the wifi behaviour of my folio 100. As time passed, my wifi network was beginning unreachable, not appearing anymore in the list or avaible networks. I was thinking that , as much users, my wifi driver or hardware was the cause. My other devices worked smoothly. Using the folio in my bed (that is new !) I've noticed a lack of coverage by my wifi router. Using the alternative firmware from dd-wrt on my linksys wrt54gl, i've increased the signal from 74 to 140 mdb and switched channel to one tha is not in use around me. Now the reliability of my connection is good on the folio. Meaning that the folio wifi chipset is maybe weak compared to an iphone or a macbook, and needs particular attention homeside.
Off topic, can't wait for that media player dexter teased us. I hope it handles every audio format to watch scene releases on the fly. I was surprised xbmc on iphone 4 could playback it.
Long-time troller, first-time poster.
I'm a network engineer, so I know a thing or two about WiFi and what not but this has got me scratching my head.
For the life of me I can't get my Nook tablet to connect a speeds greater than 54Mbps via WiFi. I've got my Galaxy tab next to the thing and it's connecting at 65Mbps.
It's not an issue of frequency I actually disabled 5GHz spectrum on my AP to check. The AP is a Cisco 1142 dual radio 802.11a/b/g/n WAP. But I've also tried with a Cisco/Linksys e1000, and a netgear what-cha-call-it at a friend's house. No dice on WiFi speeds above 54Mbps
Even my Xperia play connects at 802.11n 2.4GHz speeds.
I'm running 1.4.0 Rooted if that helps. Plenty of reboots to kill a cow if anyone thinks that's the problem.
I'm thinking that B&N have the nook locked to 802.11g speeds.
What do you all think?
Something is up with the wifi for sure. If you google nook tablet wifi problems, you get a ton of hits. I could get my nook tablet to connect to my router but could not get the internet to work on the tablet. After rebooting the router and the nook several times, changing several router settings and doing everything under the son, I finally changed my security from the N to the G only setting ( Dont really remember which is was) and this fixed it. Keep in mind my android phone, my wifes blackberry, my playstation 3, my friends mac book and my in laws ipad have had 0 problems connecting to my router. I think its safe to say its the nook tablet.
Yeah I've seen the issues with the WiFi on Google and even here on XDA, but everybody seems to be having issues with not connecting, or connections get muddled up and they have to reboot their nook.
I'm still thinking Barnes & Nobel deliberately throttled the WiFi to support only 54Mbps max. Although I have no clue as to why they would do that.
yea i think they capped all the hardware cuz even the sound is low but when rooting and using a android media player its way louder
Hmm... I wonder where items like connection speed, and volume would have their parameters kept. I wonder if with Root one could edit them?

Tweaks can be done i think.
Where to look? : system/build.prop and system/etc/
I recently purchased a M8S PRO as my android tv box. I upgrade [purchased it] specifically because it supports 5ghz and i thought the wifi would perform better.
However whether Im streaming with the browser or even playing movies off my nas i have latency issues
I believe this is due to the internal wifi chip because i also have a nvidia shield tablet which has none of these issues even if i put it in the same location as the M8S PRO
Should I buy a range extender or a new wifi dongle for it (like this one)?
Does Android support more then one wifi adapter? Will i be able to disable the internal one?
Or should i try a custom rom (i dont see how this will help but maybe im wrong about it being a hardware issue)?
Try various configuration in your router, you can try 20 or 40 mhz bandwidth, maybe disable legacy modes and use AC only, I had issues before with 5Ghz when legacy modes were enabled like A B or G. let me know, as I just purchased this box and im still waiting for it. , also you can check the 2.4GHz band.
regards.
screw these dam things
as far as i can tell the wifi chip in this thing sucks
i put the dam thing right next to the router and its still horrible
topping out at 400-500 kb/s on lan transfers over a minimum presence 5ghz wifi
sorry for late reponse, i was loading lede onto my router and trying other things to fix the issues i have with this device playing items across the lan (via samba)
I've got the 8" version and I noticed that when I connect a bluetooth headphone or speaker the wifi slow down to less than 1 mbps while playing music or video. Can anyone test if it's a common problem or is it just my unit?
Thanks.
PD: sorry for my english if I made any mistakes.

I don't own the MediaPad M5, but i have a MediaPad M3, and it does indeed have the same problem. I was wondering about getting an M5, but if it have the same problem, i am a little skeptical.

Well as WiFi and Bluetooth use the same frequencies there is always an interference between them especially if you have two streams in parallel (downloading the music file and transmitting to the head phones). You could try to use 5GHz for WiFi in that case Bluetooth should not be affected.

This isn't a minor interference, it makes wifi almost useless. Less than 1 mbps of download speed, latency increases and sometimes it doesn't even work at all. I did this speed test right next to the router while playing a song:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
With bluetooth on it is impossible to stream a video without constantly buffering. I did the same test on my phone and my laptop and both are ok. My router doesn't support 5 GHz, but I read that it doesn't fix the problem for people with the same issue on other devices.
Edit: And don't forget that this tablet doesn't have a 3.5 mm headphone jack (a really stupid decision if you ask me), so it push you to go wireless and this is what you get.........
I have the m5 10" version and I have the same. About 0.5MB at a 5Ghz network while listening to some music. Get around 5-10MB with Bluetooth disabled.

It's not just my unit then, must be a bad design of the antennas or whatever I guess, great. Because I don't think it could be fixed with a software update, right?
This is unacceptable to me, I'm going to return it. Now the problem is what tablet buy next. What other choices are there? IPad, I don't like Apple; Samsung Tab S2 is kinda old; S3 too expensive...... damn it.

I have the M3 and just tried it. With Bluetooth on I get less than 1 mbps down while streaming, just under 5 mbps with no streaming. With Bluetooth off I get 155 down on my 5ghz wifi. Damn. I usually use my phone for music.
The mediapad M3 has this issue also, it just crawls when using wifi and Bluetooth.

This is not device specific. This is a bluetooth WiFi general problem. The 2.4 GHz frequency

Just do one Google search. I have 3 devices. Google nexus 10. Oneplus 3 and the mediapad m5. All have the same problem when using bluetooth devices in various routers in various network providers in various houses. This is a problem that thousands of People have asked all over Internet, in Android in ios in Windows Phone. Im not saying nothing that Comes out of my mind.google it before you call me out.

Ok, I'll give you some numbers.
Huawei M5 playing a song through bluetooth:
M5 bluetooth off (I know, my internet connection sucks):
Nexus 5x playing a song through bluetooth:
Nexus 5x bluetooth off:
Can you see the difference??
I know that if a lot of devices are connected at the same frequencies there is going to be interferences and the speed is going to drop (notice the minor hit in the Nexus). But the case with the M5 is not normal, must be a bad design. It makes wifi almost useless. And there are 2 replies that have test it in a 5 GHz wifi and the problem persist.

Man. I gave up bluetooth headphones a long time ago. Just search the internets for this problem. You have enough to a week. The general answer for this question is change router channel or get a 5ghz router.

Again?? Did you not read that a 5 GHz router doesn't fix it? This thing is broken.
Give up bluetooth headphones on a device that doesn't have a 3.5 mm jack, great. And no, that stupid usb to jack adaptor it's not a proper solution to a problem that shouldn't even exist in the first place.
The tablet is going back to the store next week.

Again. Google it. Its not a problem related to this device. Its all over the internet. Every OS and lots of devices. Maybe some devices dont suffer as much from the problem but this is definitely not a problem related exclusively to this device.

I just realized that I didn't test with no Bluetooth.
No Bluetooth - 160 down 12 up
Bluetooth device connected - 170 down 12 up
Bluetooth device connected and streaming - 168 down 12 up.
It looks like Bluetooth improves download speed. ?

Unbelievable..... Last time I reply to this.
I have tested my family's phones, a Xiaomi Redmi 3s and a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro, and both under the same conditions give me around 9 mb/s:
So let's compare numbers:
Nexus 5x - 12 mb/s
Both Xiaomi (budget phones) - around 9 mb/s
Huawei M5 - around 0.6 mb/s (tested multiple times, it never gets more than 0.8)
The M5 is more than 10 times slower. Do you get it now? Yes, none of them get the maximum speed when bluetooth is on, but only one becomes extremely slow.
Ok, those are the hard numbers, but what about real life usage? Well, the M5 is so slow that browsing the web is a pain in the ass, web pages with lots of images takes forever to load, and it is impossible to watch a hd youtube video because it's constantly buffering. None of this happens on the other devices. Do you see the problem now??

Thanks. A demonstration that it can be done right.
this is really sad to see. there are so few tablets to choose from, and even less if you want hd screens and latest gen hardware. this one looks great on paper, but reading in here is a complete disappointment.
it does not take a rocket scientist to notice the speed problem, and anyone that says "well dont use bluetooth!" if they cant make them play nice (which they do fine on other hardware, at least well enough to use both at the same time without noticing an issue) they should not have even put bluetooth on the device.

I hope ppl staying saying ALL android has this problem, the problem with my M3 is wifi is nearly unusable when blutooth is on. And pls stop misleading huawei tablet users 5ghz will be better. IT DOESNT HELP. I have owned many android ( samsung note3, note5, xiaomi, even entry lenovo tablet n nvr had one with wifi problem with blutooth on. I am using m3 and even 5ghz is below 1mbps for download with blutooth on. If u have sim version u should check from time to time.. It is slow extremely slow compared to other device using the same sim. I have given up. By the way my problem is only for download, upload tests are ok with wifi n sim.
Hey there!
Ever since the official Android 10 update I'm experiencing interrupts in my wifi connection whenever I put my tablet away for a few minutes. I'd guess that's probably some new feature for battery saving, at least it's called "sleep mode" on my OnePlus 5T, but I haven't found anything similar on my tablet yet. The patch notes for the Android 10 update also don't mention anything wifi or battery related as far as I can tell....
It's not my wifi since my phone and my bf's phone all work as usual.
Any ideas or anyone experiencing the same issue? Already checked dev options in the settings, but couldn't see anything related. Maybe I missed some settings somewhere?
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, 256 GB LTE (SM-T865)
push.
I've been experiencing problems with WiFi direct screen share connections too, like Miracast protocol

Yup! I did a couple of things though, so I don't really know which of them actually helped fixing the issue, or if it's even required to do all.
- I got 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wifi. They shared the same name, which made my tab switch between them often. I renamed both wifis so they don't share the exact same name (fun fact, they're now called Pizza 2.4 and Pizza 5). My tab is now only using the 5 GHz one, the 2.4 one now is only for devices that don't support 5 GHz (like my New Nintendo 3DS XL or my printer), because I live in an area where many people are, and the more wifi channels are occupied, the messier (and more prone to interferences) it gets. 5 GHz has a smaller range but is also stronger, which is perfect for my small flat. On 2.4 there's way more interferences because it has more range.
- In my router's settings, I've set the tablet's IP to static, because I've read somewhere that this might help.
Can't tell if both steps are required, you might just wanna try out one first if you don't necessarily want a static intern IP for example.
My tablet also used to take ages to find my wifi, which is now fixed for some reason. On my OnePlus 5T it still takes very long to find my 5 GHz wifi, although it also has a static IP. But both devices won't disconnect randomly anymore.
