Not a dumb question at all. 2.4 has range and better thru walls. If u have wide open space then 5.ghz is smooth and less traffic. All wireless phones started on 2.4 5 is a few years old. 5ghz range is shorter but does not like walls and going thru things.

I have it and it's definitely a GREAT wifi access point. I don't use the routing functions, it's hooked up to an 8 port switch into my ISP's given router.
I haven't had anything good to say about wifi calling, though. Both my wife's phone and my own (both N4's) consistently disconnect calls after a short period of time, i think it was like 10 seconds or something. Never looked into it, we don't need it anyways. Willing to bet it's got something to do with AT&T Uverse congestion/throttling/etc..

I have this running Merlin's latest. It can handle whatever speed you have. Keep in mind if whatever site you're trying to access or download is slow you could have all the speed in the world and it wouldn't matter. It would still be slow. The router is great.

Hey man, have you had to hard reset your router and upgrade your version of Merlin's through the recovery utility? It doesn't work through the Admin page (for me, at least). Just wondering if there's an easier method to update than what I've been doing
Btw, I'm also using this router running Merlin's (not quite latest) opensource Asus firmware. This router is definitely fantastic. My cable connection speed is 50 down / 10 up... and that's exactly what I see on every wifi speed test I run from my phone :good:

I upgraded it through router. I didn't hard reset it. One of the tabs in admin says upgrade firmware.

I got them to send me the signal repeater. Been thinking about seeing if they will also send me the router.
Anybody get both for free from T-Mobile?

Que hot how to lower ping using wireless tether?

Hey I've been playing cod2 online a lot on my computer lately and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to lower my ping usually it stays under 300 but evryonce in awhile it'll randomly jump above 500 and the ping police get me and I get kicked of the server so I was wondering if there were any tweaks I could do to wirless tetherfrom Google like changing frequencys exc
BTW I'm Mr. Melee on alteriwnet if anyone wants to.hit me up.

Wow. You can tether COD over your phone? Hot damn that's a good speed! I get crap over here. :'(
Yea its actually not that bad lol
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Yeah, well I envy your speed brother. As for the tether, I don't think nothing can be done besides hardware check and phone positioning. There might be something out there that, if installed, would make your wireless access card run more effeciently with the rooted wireless tether program, but I'm not sure.
However, in your search you DO find a solution, let us know! I'll be having this Hero until a dual core comes out, so I got plenty of months ahead!

Anyone useing the international galaxy note with canadas rogers carrier?

Any good rom recommendation for the canadian international note user? Thanks and hope this was not asked already

You may have to... just Google them, aren't hard to find at all. I'm awaiting my note as well (putting it on Rogers too)
You might want to disable fast dormancy on the Rogers network with the N7000. It should help your battery life a bit.

Fast Dormancy is a protocol established between the cell masts and the radio in your phone. It allows both ends of the data transfer to co-ordinate switching between high and slow speed data modes. If your carrier supports it then it can save battery power, running at the less energy intensive slower data speeds when you aren't transferring large amounts of data and switching the HSPA+ when needed.
If your carrier does not support it then you typically will see slightly reduced battery life with it on.
As far as I know, in Canada, only the Bell/Telus network support it.

Install a browser on your phone and search. It's not hard. Shows what a person gets for trying to help someone out. I gave you an explanation you asked for but I am not going to spoon feed you too.
Canadians are generally known for being polite and kind. So much for that assumption. Must be some sort of stereotype like beavers and polar bears.

There is something that can improve the perceived speed, but at the end it comes down to the raw network speed. And many times it's not the connection slow, but the sending server that is slow.

Well its good over mobile networks!
Mobile network is easily faster than my home broadband. (Thanks to old fashioned copper)

Realistically you guys are thinking I've got the results mixed, Unfortunately i can reassure you i haven't. See the attachment. :good:

We're talking about the network speed, not the phone's. My phone has already been buttery smooth even when I was on ICS.
But showing speed test results aren't gonna help you anything with this phone. Your network speed is a 'given' situation where you don't have control over it unless you're willing to pay some more money to see improvement. I'm one of the lucky dude in my country to have constant 12 mbps network speed but I don't need to boast that here as I don't think it's gonna contribute anything to other users. Unless we come up with some tweaks of this phone to improve your network speed, I've always thought this kind of thread is useless.

[Q] Slow internet on note 4

I received my note 4 in the mail today via ups and I have tried almost everything to get the internet to work as fast as it should. I have called tmobile and told them the issue and 3 out of the 5 people that I talked to asked me how did I get the note 4 and it isn't supposed to be released until the 17th. I have downloaded the speedtest.net application and I got ping 26 ms download 0.74 upload 0.05. I need some help on what my next move should be. I have not rooted the device.
Got my Note 4 today as well and I'm experiencing slow download speeds also.

I have tried wifi as of right now that is the only way that I can download things, after I downloaded the speedtest.net, I turned wifi off to get the 4g lte reading and pretty much got those marks above. I was using the sim card that was in my note 3 and then was told by a tmobile rep that may be the problem after changing out the sim card basically got the same readings.

NOTE 4
I'm using the Sim card I used in my Nexus 5 (previous device), I'm sitting in my bathroom and getting 15mb/s speed on 4G LTE, getting about 30-45mb/s in my living room.
It could very well be a faulty antannae in the device, especially with how the packaging was when I received the device. Nothing against T Mobile, but a packing ENVELOPE? Really? Seems kinda faulty for a $900 device.
It works on 4G but not real good and 4G lte looks like this now

I'm guessing there's no way to tether now that there's no rooting...? If that's the case I'm gonna have to return it. Any recommendations on a similar rootable phone. I just traded in my note 4.

without root you have to go off the tethering on your plan if you have it. dont go with the new tmobile unlimited plans because they charge for tethering and it's not as much as you can get now. there's really not anything similar to the note 7. the note 5 comes to mind but you had the note 4 so i'm guessing you didnt like the note 5. the international note 7 has root so you could go that route. it has bands for tmobile use.

tmobile uses Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz), Band 12 (700 MHz).
the n930F uses:
LTE Cat9 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28)
TD-LTE 1900/2300/2500/2600 (Bands 38,39,40,41)
so yes it is tmobile compatible.

Yeah, for me I couldn't because of service around my house but for many it's acceptable. I would get an international version if I didn't need wifi calling. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the international version was just updated and locked down.

I'll recommend a Nexus 6P, it's a gorgeous phone, and it's full pure android, so no problem rooting it legally from google.
no problem with bands, as it's multi band.
I'm using Wind (T-mobile partner), I too only buy phones that works with AWS bands
for the past few years, all phones are true multi-bands, so we no longer have issues with phones not supporting AWS
I too was considering the Nexus 6P before picking up the Note 7.... which I might either return or sell, if root is not available in the next 30 days

I understand why someone wouldn't need it but not knowing the use case of the guy asking the question it's better to assume all possibilities rather than just your own.
I for one cannot send a text message at home without WiFi calling connected. That may be a consideration for him to take into account when making his decision.
Also the area he lives in may not support volte

Yeah it looks like a nice phone but the display is not as good. What do you use root for?

Titanium Backup, i've been using it for many many years.
The stupid Samsung "Smart Switch" (not smart enough) software doesn't work, it doesn't transfer your Apps/Games and safe games, or Apps data.
Which is why Titanium Backup is a must.
Then I also use use Droid Firewall, to manually control what comes in and out via. It's a great tool to avoid browser malware from being installed into your phone unexpectedly while browsing the web, or trying out some AD Bomb Infested Apps from Google Play.
Being able to choose what gets to connect to the internet, makes it easy to identify. Nothing goes behind my back without knowing which App is sending/receiving data.
There are a lot of other Apps I use which requires root, but they are of less importance. Apps like Widgetsoid, CPU Speed control, GPU speed control, SD card Boost, restart to Recovery Mode, and much more, basically all the Apps that can let you have full control over your phone.
Which is why most manufacture they do not like the idea of the "End User" messing around with their phone, because we are not "Owner" of our own phone, so we don't get to be "Admins"
That's the only nice thing about Nexus phones, you are guaranteed Admin / Root access.
But unfortunately as you mentioned, Nexus phones even the top of the line, are not always the best.
Samsung makes the best phone, but they are getting worse and worse at letting the "Consumer" do what they want with the phone.
