I have my Tab S7+ connected to a 5ghz (wifi 6) network. And if I check the network connection on the tablet, its anywhere between 200 mbs and 350 mbs. This could be standing right next to the router. In comparison my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra gets anywhere from 800 mbs to 1.2 gbps. Why is the Tab S7+ so wifi so much weaker? Aren't they both using the same WIFI chipset?

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.
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.
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.

Hi guys,
I have a questions regarding LTE in manhattan. I am only getting 2 bars or 1 bars when my phone is connected to LTE. Is that normal?
Also when the phone switches from LTE to 4G. The speed is really slow like 1mb download. I never had that problem before the LTE was turned on.
The low LTE "bars" is expected as its a different algorithm and LTE runs at a lower minimum signal level. 1 bar is sufficient to get 20 mbps down and 10 mbps up.
