Anyone triedd?
Thx
Tested and working, only got to 65Mbps, but thats the router's fault... Laptop only does 65 to...
Yes, 150mbps up and running here

Works fine with my D-link DIR-655
YES ^^ its work
Yes it works, but keep in mind only on the 2.4Ghz band, not the 5Ghz one. Rocking 150 here on my N wifi!
You guys just convinced me to get this phone
Just bought a Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti WHR-G300N . Its a 300M wireless router.
I set the 11n mode with 20M/40M in router, my P990 only can connect with 65M speed.
Not know why ? P990 really support 11n?
working here too.
Only got up to 74Mbps though
Never had mine above 72mbps, but then that's the max my N1 reached as well.
Still, both n speeds though.
Had the same issues with my LG Optimus 2x. LG is noting but promises, they can't deliver.
But we should already know this now. It is with all their innovations, they obviously only work in lab environments. Or maybe in Korea.
I can only assume you meant to post that elsewhere, as LG clearly have delivered on wireless N.
Wireless N on paper, yes, but if the phone can't get to 150 mbit or 300mbit, then it is just "speed vaporware". What I would expect with N is at least 150mbit and not only 65 or 75 mbit. Taken this into consideration, deliver in regards to the speed, this is what the original post was meant to be .
I do have a Wireless N 300 Mbit router and that phone never did more than 75Mbit while being connected to the router.
Anything above 54mbps is N, that's all there is too it. If a certain speed was promised you'd have a point.
who the hell needs speeds of 150-300mbps on the phone anyway
Guess it might be useful for transferring HD movies, but other than that it's just bragging rights IMO.
Well, those ratings you see in the wlan connection details should only be treated as indication on what speed you may be able to get.
I managed to transfer files over wifi from my LG with speeds ranging from about 3,3 mb/s to 4,3 mb/s (so up to about 32 megabit/s, depends on whether its using samba server or Websharing).
Thats decent enough for music, images and small videos, but for larger transfers i prefer usb, where I get 10 to 18 mb/s for the external sd depending on whether its reading or writing..
Oddly enough, my O2X only managed like 100KB/s on average. It takes a really long time to transfer movies from my computer through wifi and it's not a problem with me router. My HTC desire can manage ~3+MB/s doing the same thing. I wonder if it's something I'm missing or LG makes crappy phones. Not to mention, this phone is sluggish. If one didn't read the specs and found out it is dual-core, one might think it's got lower specs than a Desire Z.
Anyway, the only way for me to get decent wifi speeds on O2X (starting ~2.5+MB/s and then gets to around 500KB/s) seems to be to restart the phone manually before doing transfers. For some reason, the device tends to get super sluggish after long period of use (without restarting). I definitely hope this is a software issue that will be addressed in Gingerbread release (at least).

So I was at a T-Mo store on LI the other day and the girl was telling me how fast the laptop was with the "Rocket" or whatever it is called. My N1 gets 1.5 down in that area and so I ran a speed test on the laptop and it was consistently over 4 down. How is it that the laptop could access these speeds but my N1 couldnt?
Did you speed test your N1 in the store? I vet double the download speed about 2miles from my house.
Ya... right next to the laptop.
Multiple reasons;
1) Testing speed to a better server.
2) Laptop has a much more powerful CPU.
And WTF is a "rocket stick"?
What i think is that the "rocket stick" (if it is what i think it is) has higher down limit than your nexus. a internt stick is more expensive than using internet on your phone.
It's the Rogers Rocket stick. In an area of good reception they can supposedly get 7.2 down, however around 4-5 sounds more like a realistic figure.

Hey guys,
It can't seem find anyone who has ever tested the 802.11a support on the N1. Well I have been trying to, and have been coming up empty handed. I use a Motorola 7131 as my wireless router, which I have my thinkpad and desktop both connected to a non-broadcasted 802.11a WLAN. I've tried with/without encryption. I can't even get the N1 to see the connection. I feel like I must be missing something.
Anyone worked with this?
I'm running 2.2 FRF91 kernel 2.6.32.9-27227-g3c90b0d.
Thanks.
802.11a
A??????
Sorry, but LOL
You do know how cheap wireless G routers are nowadays?
Wow, I didn't expect that. Do I really need to explain this to you?
I get my equipment for free, working with Motorola, and I don't need your crappy Linksys router. What about frequency saturation? Do you honestly think 5.8 is nearly as used as 2.4ghz? I get the same 54mb speed as you do with your 802.11g, which works really well with the 30mb up/down fiber coming into my house. And I really don't feel like going into security, considering that's actually what I'm paid to do on a daily basis.
Now seriously, has anyone successfully tested the 802.11a radio in the N1?
Pwned. Nice one.

I see my device connected to my home wireless, but it says only 54Mbs. Wondering how I can tell if it's connected via b, g, or n. If it's n shouldn't it be up to 150Mbs? I get really good range, like a few houses away on my phone, so I assume it's got to be connected via n, but want to figure how I can tell on ym network and others I connect to.
TIA
Have you looked in the routers menu to see the connected clients and speed/type yet?
Also in SGS tools goto secret codes then usage stats and device info then wifi info

Have you ran speedtest while connected to wifi?
Also, if your router doesn't have automatic channel switching, you will have to choose. That should tell you how its connected.
I ran speedtests and used wifi analyzer and checked in my wifi settings. I see what channel I'm using and which are available, but nothing says connected 802.11b or 802.11g or 802.11n.
The further away from the AP you are, the lower your negotiated speeds will be. You can be right on top of an N router, but with the Broadcom WiFi chipset in the Galaxy S, you can only have a 72Mbps connection.
Lower throughput with further distances comes from error corrective algorithms. Lower throughput carries less errors at long distances.
remember our phones dont have dual band.
your router has to be setup to either be dual N band or on Single band,
but our phone will only pickup single n
and also as said above distance and signal strength can very.
as for running speed test... wont tell you much about your network connection unless your internet is faster than your router, and in north america thats hard to find...
Yeah I maxed at 72Mbps right on top of my router. I was just trying to find a way to tell if it's connected via b, g, or n.
If you are getting over 11Mbps then you are not B, so you can either be G/N with poor signal. Over 54 you are not G which means you are N.
Dual band only matters for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz freq. ranges and being able to operate on them.

Absolutely correct..anything over 54 would be N but rate will degrade with distance and signal so it may be hard to tell what the initial connection was. Get close to the AP and see if you're over 54. Router/AP status may also tell you

That means nothing. Your internet is considerably slower than your router can handle. Speedtest ONLY measures your internet speed. The speed between your device and the router does not come into play unless you are connecting at less than your internet speed. Also, if you have a standard N router that is not dual band and you have something G on it, everything will connect at G speed.

I thought i knew the difference, but I think I got the big b and little mixed up again.
Ok, g speed maxes at 54 Megabytes or bits?
My internet is dsl, do its most likely 6 M bits or bytes?
And phone is bits or bytes?
My router is a dual band N speed, but its not set on the 5.4 setting and it doesn't auto change. It is MIMO, if that matters.
Thanks for straightening this out. Maybe I won't be the only guy that learns something from reading this.

wireless g speed is 54 MEGABITS per second which, without ANY overhead (impossible) you can see speeds of 7 MEGABYTES per second.
your dsl connection is 99.999999999% positively MEGABITS per second, so you could, without any overhead (again almost impossible), possibly see speeds of 750 KILOBYTES per second of actual bandwidth transfer.
there are 8 bits to every byte

No. Its 8 bits for every byte. Its mathematically impossible to score MORE bandwidth than is actually available.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
To reiterate, 6 megaBITS per second equates to theoretical 750 kiloBYTES
There is not currently a DSL on the market right now that can do 6 megaBYTES per second.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
Throughput is almost always measured in bits while size is always in bytes. Exceptions being download managers which usually (or as an option) display bytes since bytes (kilo or mega) are considered human readable.
For wireless modes (abgn) and freqs (2.4/5) most modern routers can do simultaneous modes and their supported speeds while only highend ones do simultaneous freqs. An exception being devices that support mode A since it is 5GHz 11Mbps.
Also for the OP.
Somewhere in that router it will tell you the mode you are connected at. My Linksys E3000 shows it in the dhcp client table. Others will show it in the connected wireless devices menu (i had a netgear once that displayed there)
Oh, another thing with some routers. Even though they support mixed mode, if you have a client connected at a reduced speed rate the router may reduce everyone to that rate.... but that is going to be for older devices.

I have also some problem with the wifi.
If I am under 3 meter from my access point, there is no "problem". But if I am farest, my Note always disconnected. Every 3-5 seconds, the Note is doing a scan of the networks and cut the connection. With others phone I don't have the same problem. For example, it's impossible to listen to radios with wifi, download some stuff, there is always disconnection.
I saw that some other android phone had the same problem, is there a solution for the Note?
Thanks for your responses and sorry for my bad english.

Yes I've found wifi to be worse than my old desire
Most of the Samsung made devices I have seen recently for Wifi are pretty much crap. Not sure why but most have weak wifi signals. The Galaxy S2,Nexus S and the new Samsung Note are pretty much all the same as far as Wifi signals are concerned.
So I'm not sure if this is related, but it sounds like it might be. My note can't see my 5ghz wireless N. Anyone experience anything like this?is

Probably the Note's antena is a 2.4 GHz one. 802.11n != 5 GHz only. I learned that the hard way with my home network.
Which is a real bummer. I didn't know Samsung's devices had crappy WiFi, as it's the primary means my mobile devices get online.
My 2.4Ghz notebook makes 150 mbps speed, why Galaxy Note cannot use 150mbps? Actually the maximum speed is 65mbps even near the AP. I can't use DLNA, because all the videos are glitch with this speed. Can anyone explain is it possible to increase the 802.11n WiFi speed?
I was pretty sure its supposed to be dual band. I thought id resd other people had used 5ghz. Anyone have any experience with this?
Also my reason for wanting to use the 5ghz band his nothing to do with bandwidth and everything to do with the horrible. 2.4 ghz congestion in my apartment. If I'm near my router it's fine, but in other rooms I get wildly fluctuating speeds on 2.4ghz congestion(regardless of the device used).
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
It is not necessary to use the 5GHz band for 150mbps speed. It is enough 2.4 MHz.
I was going to get the unlocked Note to use ONLY on Wifi and maybe with the h20 prepaid at&t prepaid sim. This Wifi problem has me worried.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I am having no wifi issues what so ever, other than I am getting the sneaking suspicion it just doesn't support 5ghz bands at all.
Anyway, my 2.4ghz n is working just fine.

afaik generally speaking 5GHz quality deteriorates much quicker with distance and obstacles than 2.4GHz - it probably wouldn't be any better than 2.4 GHz.
Btw can someone measure .g and .n max speeds ? If I remember correctly SGS2 peeked at 32mbps no matter of the connection type so if Note does 65mbps then wifi in SGS2 and Note aren't identical. On the side note: SGS2's wifi is really crap, HTC Sensation's XE wifi works even with couple of walls in between the router I can browse the net, download etc. without problems, while SGS2 is close to unusable at that distance. I really hoped Samsung had learned they lesson with crap wifi implementation sadly this doesn't seem to be the case :/
Well I can tell you that in my apartment, the 5ghz band is a much better bet. Trust me, I have tested it a bunch with multiple laptops.
As far as wifi speeds, the fastest I have seen is roughly 30mbps on a rock solid 50mbps fiber connection.

I can confirm the same with the Note. The speed with 5Ghz N is way better and dropoff at least in my apartment is much less.
> Anyone else experiencing issues with wifi?
WIFI-g works fine on my device.
Both 5ghz and 2.4ghz work fine on the note, with the exception of 5ghz @ 40MHz channels which the note can't see. Of course the 5ghz band deteriorates faster as you get further away from the router but in 2.4ghz crowded places its still better to use the 5ghz radio. It's really very individual, each has to adapt to his environment's limits.

Wifi is fine for me
Got my Note Saturday. I noticed the signal displayed is not as high as my Skyrocket but the wifi works just as well. Was able to use it in places I did not think it would work. I have a dual band N router.
I only ask the question because 'technology' never stops. My 'computer' is an old Z600: 8GB old RAM, couple Xeon chips, 1GB ethernet. Ex-girlfriend's ex-husband gave me a sweet video card for it a couple years ago - 'course it was old and gross to him (so, maybe a year or 2), but pretty sweet to me. Now Nexuiz looks even better! Max settings!
More to the point, my router is pretty 'old'. It's a version 4 netgear wndr something that has been a pretty sweet ride for my lan, but, as I write, it's pretty old. I have dd-wrt on it, of course.
People say - dood, that's some old ****, I got the super-ultra-mega version X, with updated version this, and version that, for 12 million dollars and only one of my kids - DOOD - you should get it!!!
A few months ago the new router seed was planted in my head - I'm thinking about it - but, to what end? What am I missing? Anything? wi-fi 6?
It's only me in the house now - kids are grown, so their devices are gone. From that router I have the z600 as my main box (ethernet), serving up web, hosting pi-hole: I browse on it, watch movies, frag motherfukers, maybe some email; it's Debian, so, I'm always in a terminal because I can be, maybe some gimp... There's a roku in the bedroom, can't use 5Ghz - so, old wireless, couple new phones. That's it - my lan is no longer, really.
I'm not too sure at all that I need a new router. I mean, I have 3 more in the garage if this one craps out. Lol. The speeds I get on my lan are pretty good to me. I had dial-up, 52K was super-ultra-mega! - WTF! I can stream movies no problem, download lineageos images just-like-that, even on my phone when it's wi-fi connected on my lan. From my phone, anywhere in the house, I can use FX to connect to my computer and it's wicked fast - I can play music from an old dump on my computer downstairs doing laundry, or watch a video, or tweak the system, move files - so the wi-fi seems fast enough to me.
I have charter's lowest tier ISP service - 100 megabits per second. Pffft...it's barely better than the service I had in that one town 14 years ago! Still, it's 10 mb a second, at least. Which, is pretty f'kin fast to me. On 52K it was 10 minutes per MB, now it's 10MB per second, which, is pretty ancient, too!
I don't need a new router, do I? What will I gain, or, employ that I don't have now? To be honest, I'd buy one just to have a sunday morning of config'ing and rebuilding my lan, but, my ancient wisdom says - dood, 200 bucks is 200 bucks! That's gas for 3 weeks of getting to work. Gas! That's food for almost 2 weeks. Food! I'm just sayin' - my parents house cost 24,500, my car cost 32,000...
I use gas every day, and food - I use my router every day. I drink coffee every day and the only reason I'm not using a stainless steel percolator on my ancient gas stove every morning anymore is because waking up to a fresh pot of coffee that started automatically as I still slept is fuk'ing magic. How much better is wi-fi today, how much better are routers?
Not much I would say.
If you update the router you will also need to update the WiFI card on your computer.
new WiFi card will consume moar CPU power.
And things will be same.
