I've received both of the Nexus 7's I ordered and they both have absolutely terrible wifi performance. Each of them gets < 1 Mbps when but one meter from my wireless router. Thought it could be the router, but enabled the wireless on my modem and found the same problem.
My Macbook Air can get signal from the router almost a block away yet *both* of these tablets struggle to get even 1 Mbps. What's going on, any one else experience this?
Are you talking about a speed test throughput performance? Or actual wireless link speed to the router?
My Nexus gets about 23Mbps down. My Link speed is 65 Mbps
Don't have this issue..

get wifi analyzer app for nexus and then change channel to strongest one on router, that fixed it for me!
The nexus 7 definitely has a cap WiFi speed, however its not 1mb.
My router is upstairs whilst I'm downstairs.

I have poor wireless network signal strength and get 'out of range' messages even though the router or phone I'm going to tether it to is just inches away. I even watched the list of SSIDs toggle between "out of range" and "connecting" on one occasion. My phone and other tablet show full strength signals while the N7 has just one bar and I sometimes get the "Web page not available" screen. I appreciate that's technically different to download speeds but IME there is a wifi issue with some units
I'm in the process of returning it for a replacement because of this and a couple of other screen problems
I must always have good luck. I have no problems with my 7... just did a speed test in the worst part of the house and got 27mbps...
This tablets WiFi is leaps and bounds faster than my last tablet, this from the fairest edge of my house. My A500 would pull 8mbps

How are you getting 45mb downstream, isn't that higher than what the nexus can do?
Most I've had from my nexus 7 is 33mb - on my PC I get 105mb, so 33mb isn't pushing my connection.

I'm a network guy and this sounds like a classic case of stepping on someone elses wifi channel.
When 2 routers broadcast on the same frequency, you'll get this because they get confused and packets are being rejected by the affecting router.
Solution : change channels.
This happened to me when I bought my new house a few years back. Moved in and my wifi was iffy sometimes... wouldn't see the router located in the same room. I did a wifi scan and sure enough my neighbors was blasting out the same frequency.
Channels 1, 6, and 11 are 3 that are far enough apart they won't step over another. Its good practice to ONLY use these 3 because if you use an oddball like 9, you'll get interference from 6 and 11.
Custom router firmwares like Tomato actually have scanners and show what the neighboring wifi networks are broadcasting. Alternatively you can download Wifi Scanner from the market. It has several graphs and power stats of each detected network. Then you can see which one is less busy.
Most routers default to channel 6 and people don't know what it is, so they don't change it. You'll probably want to use 1 or 11. I actually offered my services to all my neighbors just so we could all get along.

g versus n issue perhaps?
My N7 is getting terrible wifi performance at home. Frequently connecting at the 1 or 2 mbps fallback rates at 50 paces from the router. The home setup is a pair of very standard WRT54GLs on different channels (different floors) running DD-WRT. I've haven't yet needed to go above 802.11g, since the incoming internet speed just isn't that fast. Everything else in the house connects at 36-54. No other wifi interference (fairly rural).
At work, we have an extensive Cisco 802.11n infrastructure. The same N7 connects at 65 (the max with one antenna) just dandy, and speedtest agrees. It's a little worse than some other wifi devices about 'hopping' (it won't go to the next wifi AP until it's down to one bar), but that's often tweakable.
I'm getting really poor connections on some public hotspots and fine on others. My suspicion is that it's bad on 802.11g and good on 802.11n. Possible?
The WiFi is brilliant on my 7. Much better than my phone

Their thinking is you can use your Galaxy Nexus or pretty much any decent android mobile and the great functionality that is Wifi tethering.
I'd have liked 3G version as well since I want to use it out and about. Lucky as long as you have an android device, you can easily create a WiFi hotspot.

Well.. I was expecting somebody to offer tethering. It will work. But most of us have big screen devices like GNex etc. So if I will take my GNex from the pocket.. I will use it rather than will turn on the Tethering.
Hot spots are OK. But... well... It is not as available as GSM (and in some cases costs more than GSM; at least in Lithuania).
I have iPad with 3G. Maybe that's the reason I can't imagine tablet without GSM anymore
Some people expect too much from a $200 tablet. I feel we are already getting waaaaay more than we're paying for so people need to just shut up and be happy.

Yea, definitely specially when you look at the break down of the device and what they are really making from it, close to nothing.
So long as you have a data plan on your phone, and this also includes tethering, then you could just tether it to your phone for access to the internet on the go. But, frankly, a tablet in my opinion is designed to be a home device that only leaves home when on extremely long trips. On a day to day basis, smart phones suffice.
We are getting a few trolling topics whose only intent seems to be to discourage people from buying what appears to be an excellent tablet.
It is easy to spot them by the titles. "Anyone else disappointed" is a good candidate.
It would be nice to give them their own forum, maybe titled "You gotta be kidding".
It's not rocket science, don't like it - don't buy it.

Look at MOST POPULAR 7" tablets: Kindle Fire, Galaxy Tab, etc. None have GSM chip and yet they are selling like hot cakes...
I have Clear 4G with unlimited Internet for $25 / month. Backup is my Note via tethering.
Doesn't bother me, I would choose the wifi over 3g anyway. Whats the point in paying for a second data plan when I can tether.
I imagine 3g/4g versions will be available later if there is enough interest from mobile networks wanting to offer it.

Doesnt bother me from purchasing it. The only thing that I am upset about is not having USB OTG and MHL connecting out of the box. But that is something I can live with.
But with a 200 dollar tablet you really cant complain about a lot of things.
3/4G Model Not That Necessary These Days
Even if Google had offered a 3/4G model, I still would have bought the wifi version.
Why would I want to pay an additional $10 a month to add a tablet to my plan when I get free tethering / wifi hotspot?
I always carry my phone, whether I'm carrying the tablet or not. If I absolutely have to have a data connection on the tablet, no problem.
I've been practicing Bluetooth tethering with my galaxy tab 7 and my galaxy s showcase, in anticipation of my nexus, it will be little more inconvenient, but i don't think I'll miss 3g at all

How is there always someone who just has to complain about something. Im guessing you do not have the device seeing as how not having cell coveragei is such a big deal and so important to you. I said in a different thread and I swill say it here as well; I do have the Nexus 7 and it has taken all of my expectations and blownb them out the windows. This thing is as solid feeling as an IPAD but ten times more awesome, runs smooth as butter 24/7, and plays Tegra 3 games better and more clear than any other device I have seen, Hands down. FOR $200 bucks..?? I use my Galaxy Nexus as a hotspot and keep it on all day. When im in the car im charging the Galaxy onlky cause the nexus 7 has awesome battery. This topic is almost as bad as the one a few lines up that says "Disappointed in CPU perfomance" or something to that nature.. That's a ridiculous untruth or a faulty device.,
I have my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 phones beside each other on my window at home. Why is it my Galaxy Nexus has superior GPS accuracy than my Nexus 4?

Hate to burst your bubble, but my $100 Galaxy S Vibrant have better signal than both of your Nexus devices. But seriously, I wouldn't mind seeing results by other Nexus 4 owners. I am more concerned about lock time and the ability to keep a signal while on the the highway.
I didn't use any test apps or anything like that, but in a normal tracking situation - going about 5km by bike - the nexus 4 did a much better job than the galaxy s2 I tried before.
Not only am I getting a gps fix in a matter of seconds, even inside buildings, but the recorded track is also a lot closer to the actual route I took.
Don't forget you also got glonass now, not sure if your tools are taking those into account

Ok I have updated the AGPS within GPS Test. Here are my results now. I am still very disappointed.
I have not tested this while driving just yet. Though I will be using this while on foot mostly, for sports tracking purposes.
So you never tested your gps on real usage and you are very disappointed. First world problems.

Your local tower/site might be being upgraded to LTE. If so, you should expect some down time. My site literally went offline for a few days (100% roaming on Verizon) until they finished whatever upgrade they were doing. Got LTE about a week later. But as stated, your mileage may vary.

I'm coming from a Nexus S 4G too and this phone has so much better reception, especially wifi. Don't really get LTE that often though, which is kind of disappointing because I actually had pretty good WiMAX coverage. But I know LTE coverage will only get better with time.
Signal != Data speed. If your signal is good but your data speed is slow, it's most likely that the sector is overloaded or the site is currently backhaul limited. It sounds like the site you connect to hasn't had Network Vision upgrades yet. Go familiarize yourself with Network Vision over at s4gru.com.
Call sprint before you return it. I had the same thing. I had great signal with my HTC Evo 3d and when I switched to the S4, I was dropping calls like crazy and with 1 bar or no signal. Found out that they were updating the towers and I also have 4g in my area now. Woot!

I get download speeds of about 50Mbps...
I get 30+ on LTE and 70 on WiFi.
Yeah I can get faster speeds standing next to the router, but its not as speedy when far away.
I compared side by side: Note 4 always load faster than Note 3 and Z3 with Youtube and Chrome.
Are you trying it with an Asus router? In my own tests, the Note 4 seems to perform worse with Asus routers like the RT-AC68U, but faster with the Netgear! I think the phone needs some driver optimisations
the note 4 and galaxy tab series have an amazing wifi radio. they both pull like 70mbps in the furthest room in my house on my Asus dark Knight router. whereas my g2 only pulled 25mbps.. same with my nexus 7. this thing rocks.

Echoing this as well. Connection is unreliable even when near router. Maybe I should try to connect on 2.4Ghz and try again (all the while on 5Ghz and it's crap). My Cat 6 LTE speed (typically betweek 80-110Mbps) trash what I could get on WiFi.
My note 4 is less stable and has less range than my LG g2. But here are the results. On my moca 1.1 connection with 300' of coax between moca boxes and my dir-825 wireless router.

The only thing in unhappy about is that using ES file explorer,transferring a file to and from my NAS to the phone is limited to about 10.5MBps. Much better than the note 3 of course but was expecting at least 30MBps or so....

I compare with iPhone 6 Plus, it load faster than it. It is loaded pretty fast to me. By the way mine is Exynos edition. No worried here.
Just got my Note 4 yesterday and just ran a test on my wi-fi right now... 125 mbs down and 12 mbs up. Basically identical to my desktop, can't complain at all.
For everyone posting speed tests please specify what technology your the signal was on at the time. Please do not post stupid answers like 'Get a new router' or 'Upgrade your ISP' these people are idiots so don't be one. Every router I try with the results are the same. Note 4 about 1/3rd the speed of the Note 3 being tested. FYI the upload is slow just like the download.
Here with 802.11 G/N 2.4 Ghz, the speed is complete crap compared to the Note 3. Even went as far as re-flashing the whole phone and no luck. Added a separate SSID as Fast to my router on 5 Ghz n 40 Mhz and connected to it. Didn't make a difference.
There are lots of reports online and I'm sure they're going to be more:

Its worth noting that the speedtest.net app has never NEVER gotten close to my broadband speed on any Android handset I have owned so far, even though WiFi throughput when tested by iperf is usually much greater than my broadband speed.
Also, my Note 4 had a day one update waiting that once I applied has messed up my WiFi performance. Before the update I noticed Google Play installing apps at my full average broadband speed of 66Mbit, after the update its all over the place. Its bad, but it does at least suggest this is a software problem so fixable.
Interestingly, before the update when connected at 866Mbit 802.11ac, I got EXACTLY the same throughput (260Mbit) as the Note 3 did connected at 433Mbit.
On the other hand WiFi reliability seems to be vastly superior to the Note 2 or 3. When I do anything with the LIFX app its instant, there was always a little delay on the Note 3.

In parts of the world OTHER THAN North America, those speeds are on the low end of normal!

You might want to say that this is normal in Asia. I live in Europe and besides 4G that is just deploying, average ADSL stays below 15 MB download. I'm quite lucky and have 20 MB through ADSL and up to 55~60 with 4G [emoji41]

Then I got "Error:2001 test error"
Worked great for me, really useful, confirmed my thoughts about the Chromecast wifi been rubbish which is ashame, only getting 7.48Mbps down, when my phone next to it is getting ~30Mbps.
Using the App I've played around with my chromecast location, if I connect it to a 2m HDMI cable and move away I can get the chromecast to 24.83Mbps which is obviously a massive difference, chromecast is always doing HD now instead of flicking between HD and VHS.
Thanks.
Download 14.04 mbps over here upload 0.8 mbps

Yeah I can confirm that this app allowed me to figure out that I get a consistent increase of 5~6.0Mbps more speed when using the HDMI extender.
Left this a 5 star rating!

Thanks.
Does anyone need function to test the speed of local network?

I think it would be useful so you can figure out if the poor performance is due to your WI-FI or the actual internet connection.

Yes. My internet speed is only 5 MB/s-down 0.6 MB/s-up so that doesn't test how my wifi is functioning. Streaming off my local network sometimes requires 30-50 MB/s.

LAN speed test may need an internal server.

You could probably get away without the server so long as there is a SAMBA shared directory on the network.
BTW, is there a change log for the Play Store update that just showed up?

Thanks OP for this useful app, also helped determine the HDMI extender really does improve WiFi throughput from my router, at least, the connection speed to the server improved a lot and on a 2mbps down / 384k up line here in South Africa, that's already a big deal

Enojoy it.
Great little app!!!!!
I got following:
Download: 21.92 mbps
Upload: 4.97 mbps
Latency: 17 ms
Jitter: 700 ms
Running an Asus RT-AC56U router with latest Merlin firmware and set Chromecast MAC address to "highest" under QoS under 2.4 GHz wireless. I will run some test moving it around by extending the Chromecast stick in a best position to see if I can improve upon this and report back. ISP is Comcast with typical down/up on a desktop with OOKLA at 60mbps/5mbps.
Based on others experience are these numbers good?
Much thanks for the app!
Great app!! thank you very much dev.
Can someone please explain to me what difference does the HDMI extender make? I see some people say it helps them get faster speeds but how?

By default, chromecast will be pluged to TV at rear, wifi signal may be affected by TV.
HDMI extender could help to put chromecast to a right position.
