Low speeds on internet tethering

Is anybody else having issues with low bandwidth speed when tethering? I'm on the latest Cyanogen build. I've tried both wired and wireless tethering, both have low speeds when being used. Normal I get around 300-500 kbps on my G1 but its only allowing about 20-50 kbps to the pc. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like EDGE speeds and not 3g.

I'm definately on 3G. I've had 3G in my area since Aug. Could it be the OS I'm using, windows 7?

how much data have you used for the month? i heard that if you go over your gb limit, tmobile will throttle you back. phone will say 3g, but you will be cruising at edge speed......

I'm not sure how check my data usage but I'm pretty sure its no where near the 10gbs allotted for the G1. With the speedtest app I'm gettin speeds between 400-500 kbps right now but when I try the speedtest website on the pc while tethering I'm only getting 30-40kbps.

You use mscrap and expect fastness?

[Q] HD7 Wifi Speed

Hi All
Had my HD7 for a few weeks now and im liking it, used to be an IPhone user but thats all changed now.
One thing i want to know is that the HD7 is stated as having wireless N capabilities. When im on my wireless N network at home im getting really slow responses from the browser or when downloading apps from the market place (like im on GPRS or non wifi). I have a wireless N network setup and also have 50mb Cable so its not a problem with the LAN/WAN as i can download lightening fast with the lappy or even when i had the Iphone on the same LAN.
Anyone else noticed that the wifi is not very fast? Also is there a "speed test" app that can tell me the sorta speed im getting, used to be one on the Iphone, but obviously cant be flash based, which are most on the web. Did find one non flash based site but im not convinced its that good.
Any advise is appreciated.

I use tracert's non-flash based bandwidth meter and seem to get low reading as well. my max. bandwidth is 15 Mbps yet my HD7 usually tests well below 10 Mbps. Odd. In terms of downloads though, my HD7 is speedy. I downloaded NFS from Xbox Live and calculated it was downloading at about 1 MB/s (which is fair for a 15 Mbps connection). So maybe the speed tests are off.

no problems for me.
It's weird that on IE on the HD2 you could use speedtest.net to test speeds, but on the hd7, it says you don't have the proper flash installed....

Hd 7 dosent support flash yet, maybe with update next year.. as far as I know this is the best device for my wifi although its not N
Hero used to struggle with my wifi but the hd 7 is super brilliant..
Just love it on this one

No problems here. And when it comes to browsing this thing is a pure joy ! Imagine when they will update the browser with Flash 10.1 and overall speed. I browsed today a little longer then usual and when I got home and turned my PC on it all felt boring. This is the first time I am experiencing a far more enjoyable browsing on my phone rather than my PC.
They have done an amazing job

mmm must just be mine then, an app from marketplace on the phone took about 3 minutes to download while on wifi and its just a small notes app. Weird! Ill keep having a look at whats going on.

It's surely something with your phone or with the WLAN. When I am home I am browsing only via WiFi and in my room I only get low signal but even then it runs pretty fast.

I have to disable cellular data and 3g to make my WiFi fast on my hd7. I'm on tmobile and in an edge coverage area. It seems that the phone prefers cellular data over WiFi even when there is a clear speed advantage in WiFi.

I have experienced zero problems with the HD7 over wifi. This is also with T-Mobile coverage in an edge only area. Settings allow for all network types including 3G.

Well im surprised because my experience in Puerto Rico with the hd7 on the internet speed its noe the best.
When use the app's for speed test never come colse to 1 mega and the faster speed its around 400 kpbs its T-Mobile or the phone really i'm think its the phone because my wife have an Lg optimus with android and the same t-mobile but the speed its around 1.2 and 1.5 mbps so if any one have the solutions wow i'm apreaciate to hear about.

wi fi bug or what? pls help

when I connect my o2x on wi fi (6mbit speed) they give me this results in speed test(and another 2 tests)
ping: 15-20ms
download: about 5mbits(i have adsl and overhead :S)
upload: 0.85 mbit
after 20 miuntes or 3, 4 hours (depending on situation) my wi fi stop working correctly, browser is lagging and give me lower results in speed test (also in another 2 tests)
depending on situation, like
ping: 50-150ms
download: 1.96-3.28mbits
upload: 0.85
Then I try test with girlfriend iphone 3gs and get normaly results always
also, i try to connect my phone on brothers wi fi (10mbit) and is still no working correctly(give me about 6mbits of 10, 50-120ms) until I restart phone, after restart gives me 10/10mbits and 15ms
when I restart my phone, wi fi works correctly again
this problem occurs with gingerbread v20r and v20s(which I have now, rooted), but with ics v28g problem does not appear and wi fi constantly works ok
anybody have any ideas how to fix that?
thanks

No Data at 5ghz

Hey guys, I recently picked up a Nexus 6 and when trying to set it up I noticed my Wifi download speeds were terribly slow even though im rocking a 200mbp/s download speed. I'd try and download speed test but my signal was too slow so it would time out. So I sideloaded speedtest and got a download of .02 mbps on 5ghz and .5 on the 2.4ghz band. Can anyone help?

What channel is your router on?

2.4Ghz is on channel 1 and 5ghz is on 44

My 2.4 is on auto and 5g is on 157. Works great for me.

Android 6.0 broke wifi 802.11ac in Nexus 5 (D820)

I've upgraded my access point to support 802.11ac. My laptop with Intel 7260 AC card connects at 867 Mhz and I can copy a file over LAN at 50+ Mb/c. When I connected my Nexus 5 with Marshmallow, it connected with 802.11n protocol at 135 Mhz and file copy speed at 5+ Mbps. Then I tried to flash Android 4.4.4 which resulted in 802.11ac and connection speed of 433 Mhz which is expected. File copy speed settled around 10 Mb/c. Not huge, but twice faster. Then flashed 5.1.1. Same result as 4.4.4. Then I tried to flash bare 6.0 again and got 802.11n and 135 Mhz again. So, it's clearly a firmware issue. So, I downgraded my phone to 5.1.1. to make wifi faster.

Actually, 5.1.1 lost 802.11ac as well after all the updates. I suspect this is something to do with the Google Play Services which have the new version in 6.0 out of the box while 5.1.1 has an older one which works as needed after fresh flash and then gets upgraded and breaks the 'ac' mode. Gotta verify that.

Well ain't that just a peach!
I upgraded my AP several months ago (had Cataclysm Lollipop) and decided to test file transfer speeds a couple months ago. Noticed speeds never exceeded 10Mbps. I was rather disappointed and thought it was a faulty AP, but too late to return it. Now I wonder if this is the issue.
If I use my PC to pull files from my phone using an ftp host the speeds will increase slightly to about 12-14Mbps, but that's all. I never thought to check what protocol it was using, I just naturally assumed it was AC since it was on the 5 GHz channel.

It can be 'a', 'n' and 'ac' running at 5 GHz.

I don't have an 'ac' router, but I have tried 5ghz ac by creating access points like:
WiFi file transfers as follows:
Nexus 5 6.0 WiFi hotspot 5ghz band - Galaxy S6 -- speeds around 22mBps download to S6.
Galaxy S6 superbeam auto 5Ghz band - Nexus 5 -- 25mBps.
Also tried the above tests with tab pro 8.4 and got similar speeds (20-27mBps up and down).
Nexus 5 running 6.0 cata and DP2,3.
Maybe, the router needs some different configuration.
On YouTube, I have seen some videos testing the Google fibre WiFi on Nexus 5, it did 220ish mbps (220/8 = 27.5mBps) with sub 5ms pings on the speedtest app.

Chances are you guys just ain't using AC 'correctly'
Nexus phones 1 can't use DFS channels. It absolutely will not connect.
This means less overlapping channels can be used for aggregation.
Most time of the you'll be lucky to pull off 40mhz channel width. 80mhz was great when no one else had 5ghz WiFi but as more people move to 5ghz N you'll lose it until everyone goes AC.
The Nexus 5 is only 1x1 so AC will never be faster than 433mbps.
So 1 set your channel width to 80mhz
Two use a Non-DFS channel like 48 or 161.
There's only 5 non-overlapping 80mhz channels.
File transfers with an N5 is a bad measure. There's only so much write cache. You could do a couple tens of MBs then the cache is full and it needs to move to the slow NAND.

In my case the phone connects at 433mbps.
File size was: 800MB
Average speed(800/time taken): ~25mBps

I found what was eliminating the 'ac' connection. That's the Google app. When the 5.1.1 is just flashed, there's an old version and the phone connects with 'ac' and 433 Mbps. Android Wear requires a newer Google app. If I install the latest version, the 'ac' protocol disappears. Then I re-flashed and installed the Google app from Sep 1. The 'ac' stayed. Installed Google Wear and it was fine working with somewhat old Google app. So, now I have everything on my phone as before and I still have the 'ac' protocol working.
