Wireless router question

Ok so I'm moving to another place by myself and need to buy a router. The internet averages about 7-10mb/s here. My question..is there any reason to go with anything over a 150mb/s rated wireless router? Like say a netgear n150? I play ps3 online..watch "videos" etc...mainly does the fact that my internet connection is far less than what the router is rated at matter?

only benefit you'd have from the 150mb/s would be if you had one or more wifi N lappy(s) and wanted to transfer files

..50 what? Routers?
Lol
I have the netgear n and its very good.. although if you want better speeds you've got to have a WiFi n card
[Sig] dId you know? If you Insert a Coin on your Desire, then it levels up to HD, Z or S :[/Sig] !!!! 10 post limit for off topic NOW!!!!

I would go for a wireless-n router
So 150 or 300mb
Because of longer range, faster speeds when you want to transfer files..
And it is not so expensive anymore

Just use any normal router. Remember to set up WPA2 (who am I kidding, everybody loves WPA2 except Husam) for security.
Use a physical wire for connecting your home server to the router instead of going full wireless (total regret for me).

GNote, 5Ghz wifi missing?

I'm not entirely sure what I might have messed up, but...
Got my new galaxy note via amazon.com today, and as any good xda reader, it was rooted within 10 minutes of charging the battery. Installed CheckROM v5 along with CF-Root (both LA4) and everything seems to be working.
Well, ALMOST everything. For some reason, the wifi radio isn't seeing my 802.11a (5GHz) wifi AP. I've verified that the SSID is being broadcast, and that the SSID is seen on my samsung galaxy SII. Nothing on the Note..
Installed "wifi analyzer", and it won't even give me an option for 5GHz (as if there's no 802.11a support on the device.)
I went into the Wlantest mode and it shows options for testing the 5GHz radio, and no strange errors come up when I run those tests.
Any suggestions? Am I missing something here?
It's pretty important to me that I'm able to access some 802.11a AP's, so I'd like to figure out what's going on (or put a stock ROM back on and get amazon to give me an exchange.)
Thanks
Gary

This is a funny problem I am trying to work out myself. I have 2 wireless dual band routers at home. One belkin and one netgear. I can see the 5ghz on the belkin but not the netgear.

I can't see ANY 5GHz network. The Note is acting as if it doesn't have a 5GHz radio whatsoever!

i have the opposite. my note connects to my netgear dgnd3700's 5ghz easily enough. but im running stock 2.3.6 rom (polish plus model), so maybe its something with your rom?

My Note does not see 5ghz on my home Netgear router but does see it at my work's Netgear routers (diff models). I too would like to know more about this.

I'm not going to mess with this - calling up amazon to have them send me a replacement. (done.) If I get two in a row with 5GHz not working, I suppose it'd be possible that the 5GHz hardware is simply disabled for the region they are importing phones from (Brazil? Original firmware is UBKK1)
If that's the case, I guess I'll be returning and ordering from elsewhere.
Take care
Gary

I've just installed a new Netgear WNDR4500, and my Note is able to connect with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz as well!

Maybe. Although it happened on my stock kka Rom and is still the same now that I'm on stock la4 so I am not quite sure that its Rom specific.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Strange... The replacement came in, and it's ALSO missing 5GHz. Looks like a Brazil firmware (UBKK1.)
I've never seen anything like this... I wonder if Amazon knows that the imports they are selling are crippled.

UPDATE:
Found the problem.. Phone comes with a Brazil firmware, so I guess I should set my 802.11a channels to be in the spectrum allowable in Brazil, right?
Doing that, it works. On both the original and replacement phone. I feel stupid now.

[Q] Low Bluetooth Distance

I have several BT headphones and three Logitech BT receivers connected to active loud speakers. With my previous phones (Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung SII, HTC Desire HD) I could bridge distances up to 10 meters including in other rooms without problems
Whereas with my new HTC One in a distance more than 1 meter I get outages and with more than 3 meters the bluetooth connection is dropped at all. Maybe this has to do with the unibody in general or is just my phone not working as expected?
Do you have similar experiences?
Elmar

I have the same problem. It's a bit disappointing. We can only hope it's a software issue.

It has definitly to do with WiFi switched on. If it is off, everything works fine as expected.
Sometimes (I haven't understood the logic), you can switch WiFi on again after connecting to your bluetooth device and it works perfect.

Turned WiFi off. Works like a charm now.

I have. Bluetooth audio is distorted in my car with the HTC One. Really a pain in the butt since now I have to use the Aux cable and can't skip songs using the controls on my deck.
The S2, S3, and Note2 all worked fine with my car. :crying:

Did Whompasaurus come with the kernel or did you flash it after the fact?

I may, because the phone tends to get "stuck" on 1X or 3G and refuse to go to 3G or 4G even if there is a strong signal available. I usually have to toggle data to fix it and it's getting annoying. Other phones, including the S4, do not seem to have this problem.
Apart from that the One is pretty much flawless, so I'm just waiting until the end of the 14 days to see if the irritation of constantly switching data off and on gets to me.

Awesome! I'm running Viper right now. I'll trying flashing over that and see what happens!!

Not at all...this is actually the first phone I haven't had any issues with. Not even considering rooting right now just b/c everything works...HTC One ftw

Had the S4 for less then a week before I brought it back and exchanged it for the ONE. Best decision I have made during my 14 years with Sprint. Didn't like the feel or performance (in my area) of the S4 at all. Lots of reception issues, dropped calls etc. Plus the phone just felt "cheap"

I get this too, glad I'm not the only one. Bush league ****, I can't believe a problem like this got through HTC's QC.

Try updating your prl and profile I was stuck just one time and that did the trick this is a sprint issue not HTC

Would never switch to the s4, I have used the s4 extensivly. I updated to viper 1.1.0 and no issues with the back and home button anymore, big thanks to viperboy for all his work. Also a huge factor for me is the front speakers, makes the whole phone experience that much better.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

I have both. Im using the s4 but still play with the htc one. I bought both off craigslist for a really good price. They are both amazing phones. I cant decide which to keeo. I love the sexy design of the htc one. The speakers are amazing and i love the music app. I really love fact it downloads the cover art automatically. Then the S4. I love the bigger screen. I love touchwiz. I love the fact it has more features. I looooove the meny button being stationary and not different places dependin on what app your using. The fact is there both amazing phones. I think samsung listened to the consumers complaints about the s3 and note 2 and did its best to put out a product wed all love. I think htc listened to the complaints about tue htc one and the one x and did there best. I lean towards the galaxy only bc all my tablets are samsung and my fiance has the s4 so im just more comftorable with touch wiz. But the htc is super quick very snappy if you know what i mean lol. Uuuughhhhhh which one do i keep!!!!! Lol

Did both of those at least a dozen times, but the issues are still present. It may be a sprint problem, but it only affects the One. My old HTC Arrive did not have these issues, and neither do the s3 or s4.

Try repairing at the longest possible distance while the car is running so it hunts for the best BT channel. Start far enough away so that it fails. Then get closer until it works.
Bluetooth works great for me, finally since it was awful on the EVO 4G LTE. Only problem is voice command prompt volume is too low.

Huh.... I'll have to give this a shot.
Does any one know of any programs that monitor the Bluetooth connection so I can see if it changes channels or even something where I can force it to change?

I have been having the same issue with the LG Optimus G here in KC. It is a network issue. It is how the phone trades off between 3G and 4G. I will be on 3g and my wife is on 4g at the same time. There shouldn't be a difference between S4 and One. They have the same modem.

Already did and I'm happy

First one to 64GB on Sprint gets my business (for the S4, that means 64GB +64GB SD Card).

Same bug, different phone?

Hello,
I already opened one thread some weeks ago about the wifi range issue, which I had with my old device. (C5303)
Now I got a new device (sure, also C5303), cause the old one had dead pixels on the touchscreen, I reclaimed it and the shop, where I bought it, gave me a new one.
But Im still facing the same problem like before. The wifi range is just horrible!!!
Im on the newest firmware (2.254).
For example, sometimes I like to watch some videos on youtube, before I go to sleep, but unfortunately I cannot.
I just don't get enough speed to play/load the videos, cause the wifi signal is damn weak.
I made a screen of it.
]
As you can see, the video cannot even start, cause of that low signal/speed.
Here is a pic, where u can see the distance between the router and my bed.
Is every Xperia SP facing this problem?
I also wrote an E-Mail to the sony support, but they were not able, to give me a solution, to fix that problem.
It seems, that Sony cannot fix it, so what can I do?
IT IS JUST ANNOYING!!!

1. Try other model of phone and see if the range is the same in same distance, coz u have a wall btw u and the router.
2. The problem maybe no is the phone, its the router. Try to update the router to the latest firmware :thumbup:

It cannot be the router. I tested many other devices with my network and no one of them had issues with the range.
I also tried different router settings (changing the canal and more)
So, wifi is one of the most important functions for me and like u see, it doesnt work correctly! But I paid 350€ and demand a phone, which works fine at all. Can I demand my money back and give the xperia sp back to the shop? (under warranty)

There's a WiFi fix offered in general forum, it worked for me, but as it looks like, I got from the very beginning a device with excellent WiFi Reception, good camera in dark areas and no touch issue.
Its just pure luck I guess, and a bit tweaking it.
