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.

It's an electronic device that can do things to my girl friend that I can't do.
... Access the internet that is.
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

Thatswhy I said run speedtest. My router is N speed,.but I only have 6Mb service. However, I usually clock about 5.8 on dl speed. My wifes netbook had a g speed card and maxes at 5.4.

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.

But my internet speed is greater than than the high end of g speed. How could I clock so near my isp speed when that speed exceeds the g rated speed?

You need to learn the difference between BITS and BYTES
Unless you are rocking fiber connection (FIOS) or similar, you are NOT going over G speeds

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

Thanks. I do appreciate that.
pirate you are missing a 0
7 megaBYTES = 7,000 kiloBYTES
my DSL was 1,500 kB per second at my last place

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.

Hello, so ever since I've gotten my new note 4 I have been having the wackiest speeds I've ever had on their network. Check out the pic below, I don't even remember running that one test that pulled an "amazing" 20MBPS. All the speeds I do no matter where I am come up with the same results. Less than 2 MBPS download and slightly higher upload. I went in to tmobile they say I'm not being throttled so they gave me a new SIM to me and my mother's phone because hers was having horrible speeds aswell. She said "give it two hours" well its been and as you can tell it's even worse, dumb rep said I'll need to get a replacement. Like B you ain't even know what the hell your talking about! Anyways is their something I can try to solve this issue? I got wifi at home that pulls 25 to 50 MBPS. Any help?

Same here wtf
I'm on my second note 4 first one would hardly stream music on LTE I'm getting fed up should have stayed with my note 3
So yesterday fios installed the quantum router which gets 150/150 speeds. When i do a speed test on my nexus 9 on wifi i get this: (edit) refer to first picture below
When i do a speedtest on my note 4 i cant get any better than this: (edit) refer to second picture below
What gives? When i first did a speed test after he installed it, i got 80 down. I shouldn't have to reset router as he did it a few times when instslling. The only thing that i changed was the channel to 11 my dad said his verizon notification thing in his pc said there was a lot of interface and to switch to channel 11. it can't be the channel thats causing the problem cause i did these two speed tests at the exact same time. I tried turning on smart network switch in wifi settings but it didn't seem to make any difference. Does the note 4 just not have good wifi hardware? Idk what else to do. Whenever i watch youtube it constantly buffers and it annoys the crap out of me i should not have to have buffering with a quantum router!

I am assuming you are on the wrong server.

nope same server and its as close to me as possible nyc
Have you tested the speed with your computer?
Yea 150/160

I have a few friends who live in NYC. Who is ur provider and NYC is big can you give a street or at least near a big attraction. I have optimum and on my PC I get same as phone. Had the 101 but not worth it considering the servers I download from throttle on their end.

Any time I run a speed test being either on WiFi or LTE the speed test will shoot to the speeds it should get for less than a second. Than the speed will drop and drop and drop. With my 2 year old htc one testing lte network I average between 40 to 50 mbps. The fastest the edge hit was 30 once averaging around 20. And my network speeds at home are 58/28. On ipad, iPhone, tablet, and htc one all achieve such no problem. The edge hasn't made it past 26 and averages 15-20. Anyone have any idea what could cause this? Could it be a problem with the phone itself? Thanks.
