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.

Hi
I am using radio XXLB2 and i have a wireless N 300Mbps router, TL-WR1043N, but whatever i try the sgn only connects at 65Mbps and even tho i have a 120Mbps internet connection i get a maximum of close to 30Mbps downstream bandwidth whenever i test with the speedtest.net app...
It kinda looks like something is limiting the speed to that connection speed and to that downstream speed...
Is there any thing that i could change to try and get more speed? different radio maybe? i think i had same results on the other radios tho
What are the speed connections and real downstream bandwidth that u guys have?
If somebody has same router, do u have same limitations as i'm experiencing?
thanks
I have the exact same performance but with another router. I have 100Mbit, but only getting 30 with speedtest.

its known if you search the forums that the note only connects at 65
mine connects at 65 and i get a full 30 from my isp, people are hung up on certain things when it is perfectly normal
If it connects at 65 then why are we only getting 30 from or ISPs when we have much faster lines and other devices get more?

Jun-3 2017 got OTA update a few weeks ago. T813 doesn't have problem connecting to 5Ghz wifi but on 5Ghz the connection is slow. Appears to be capped at about 10MB. Whenever I run speedtest while connected to my 5Ghz network I get 10MB uploads. Disconnect from 5Ghz, rerun speedtest and I get 80MB uploads. Go back to 5Ghz rerun speedtest, back to 10MB. Can reproduce this every time.
I guess I am stuck not using 5Ghz.

Found this in a different thread. Changed to channel 40 and speedtest shows upload speeds of 80MB. Netgear recommends using channels above 149 but I will stick to 40. Anyone know why using the lower band 5Ghz channels gives higher speeds than the higher band channels?
do you happen to be using a euro model in north america? what is your CSC and which country are you using the device?
On router (if possible) change channel width to 20 any frequency should fix wifi. Atleast for me this worked

After changing the routers channel bandwith, this thing goes from 10 mbps to 80mbps. They need to fix this. All my other devices max out at 235mbps on 5ghz. This tab is too advanced to be doing this.
Had the exact same issue on my new T713 and the channel width change from Auto to 20 worked for me on Asus router. Left the Control Channel on Auto. Thanks!
I had this same issue too. I had to turn off Power Save Support then I didn't have anymore 5 GHz slowdowns

Mine had the slowdown with Power Save off - the channel bandwidth was what fixed mine.
hey guys, my download speed is very slow on 5ghz wifi, but few time ago was working well, I dont know what happened. My macbook reach 120MB download and 10MB upload, but my galaxy s8 shows 10MB dowload speed. I tried change my channel width on router, but didn't work.

I'm finding 5GHz to be a real mixed bag across all of my devices - Tab S2 T713, 2 iPad Air 2's, Dell XPS 13 9350 laptop, a Lenovo desktop, 2 Dell desktops, and a Galaxy S7 Edge phone. Performance seems to be inconsistent and I see complete dropouts where the band isn't even visible on some devices. This is irrespective of distance from the router, an Asus RT-AC66U_B1, number of connected devices, etc. When it's good, I see 120MB/sec but other times it will drop off by 50% or more or will disconnect. I've pretty much reverted to 2.4GHz except when I get the urge to test 5GHz out again.
Rate this thread to express how you think the Google Pixel 2's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
2.4ghz signal strength is improved over my OG Pixel, but the 5ghz reception for me has been significantly worse to the point that I can't use 5ghz in my home with this phone as it has to be much closer to the router than my OG pixel which I can go anywhere in my house with. Anyone else experiencing the same?
Using speedtest.net on 5ghz, downoad speeds on my Pixel 2 are about 20-50% slower than my Nexus 6P.
I've been noticing a lot of drops with 5ghz where my old Nexus 5x has been solid. Lately, it's been from the next room over from my router. I've switched over to 2.4 and will test that out over the next few days.

If it's on a 5GHZ network it will always lose connection if you aren't close to your WiFi router. That's how 5GHZ just works.

How profound, you also lose connection to 2.4ghz wifi if you aren't close enough, that's just how it works!
However what is being said here is that the 5ghz reception on the Pixel 2 is not great. At a range where my OG Pixel and laptop are both showing around -68dbm signal strength the Pixel 2 is showing -80dbm and can't hold a stable connection to 5ghz. I doubt there is anything wrong with it and most likely this just boils down to the design of the antennas and case. The 2.4ghz wifi strength seems to be slightly better than my OG Pixel.

Where are you getting this information from? Are you doing internet speed tests?

On the phones I am using WiFiAnalyzer app from VREM Software to get signal strength information. There are lots of others available in the play store. I have a wifi analyzer application on my desktop as well to read out the dBm values for networks from my laptop.
I concur - 5GHz WiFi lacks range. 2.4GHz WiFi appears fine, though.
5 GHz Band has a smaller coverage area than 2.4 GHz. It has nothing to do with the phone..5 GHz band is the better one to be on. It has more non-overlapping channels which means less traffic assuming you don't pick a busy one. 2.4 GHz band only has 3 channels that don't overlap.
Like with the 5X and the 6P.
Pixel 2 starts with 5Ghz when I reboot the phone and minutes later change to 2.4Ghz and never come back to 5Ghz until the next phone reboot.
This is happening even near the router and in a small house that have 90% 5Ghz signal even in the most remote areas.
The 5Ghz traffic is also pretty low in the area compared to 2.4Ghz which is more crowded.
The router used is an Asus OnHub and both SSIDs have the same name.

some problems with wifi, on 3 different routers, no miracast
Hi
We have a pair of Ubiquiti UniFi AP-AC-Pro WAPs at opposite ends of the house to provide decent coverage throughout (long skinny house with solid internal walls). My Pixel 2 always connects at 5GHz using 802.11ac and stays connected at 5GHz using 802.11ac, and the UniFi WAP controller software shows that the phone connects at a TX rate of between about 500Mbps and 900Mbps depending on distance from the WAPs. With the phone about 10m from the nearest WAP, if I run an ftp server on the phone and use an ftp client on a PC to copy a 1Gb VOB file up to the phone and then back down again, I get a throughput of around 55-58Mb/sec (440-465Mbps) in either direction.
I suspect a lot of the problems reported are due to the generally poor quality of consumer-grade WiFi WAPs.
Same here! My pixel 2 wont connect to the 5ghz network unless its near the router. And also WiFi disconnects automatically frequently. Any fix for this???
Haris, that depends on your wifi signal. If it's strong, the phone is defective, and you know the "cure" for that. If you're going through anything large and conductive, or noisy - a refrigerator, a microwave oven that's running, 5 walls, etc. - that's the problem and you have to get some signal to where you are. (I could never use anything on my deck, which had to shoot 2.4MHz through a microwave to get to the router, when the microwave was running. the only "solution"? Wait.) Now, in a larger house, with a more centralized router, no problem anywhere. No problems finding a clean 2.4 MHz channel, so I have 5MHz turned off.)
Does anyone know the maximum wifi speed possible on a Pixel 2 XL?
My Nokia 7 Plus connects to my Netgear D7000 router on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
When the phone is near to the router it will max the connection speed out using speedtest at about 75mbps (max internet speed for me) however as the distance from the router increases the speeds drop off dramatically to either 1 or 2 mbps or they drop completely and it keeps trying to jump between networks presumably because the signal is low.
The drop in speeds seems to affect the download speed more than the upload speed.
I have an old Galaxy S5 and in the same positions it holds the connection easily and will still max the connection. I can go much, much further from the router before the connection drops.
If I use wifi analyser then I see that on the S5 the signal looks to be about 10db better, it simply looks like a case of the S5 having better reception.
How do others find the performance compared to other phones, is the wifi poor or do I have a duff one?
I'm currently using Oreo 8.1 with the July security update., has anyone noticed wifi being better using Android P?
Android p is far better

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm just reading through the thread on Android P at the moment and will probably give it a try providing I can make sure I can roll back to Oreo easily so the device can be returned if it is actually faulty.
Hi,
I'm having an issue with my Rog3 Strix edition while connecting to WiFi.
I'm having speed of 200MBps and when I test the speed using iPhone 11 or Samsung note it shows average speed between 180mbs to 195mbs. (IPhone always shows higher speed)
Sadly on Rog3 the speed usually between 50mbps to 90mbps. Maximum reached after many tries in different time 130Mbs.
When I checked network details it's showing the following
Transmit link speed
192 mbps
Recevie link speed
192 mbps
The network band is 5ghz. Tried with both 2.4 and 5 and actually 2.4 is showing lower results even.
Any suggestions please how to get the max of this wifi connection.
Thank you very much in advance.
I found the solution, make the band 149 in your router, and it will work fine...
