I'm on DK28, midNIGHT 2.9.3, and trying to use wireless tether but the results are heartbreaking.... It can hardly load web pages before they time out an looking at the wireless tethr ap its only doing 20kbps max.
Anyone else have similar results?
I noticed pretty slow speeds on 3G when using Wireless tether (mine were like .35mb down/.8mb up) but when I switched over to 4G I got >4mb consistently. This was on a rooted stock DI18. I'm using Wireless Tether 2.0.6, fwiw.
Honestly, the 3G speeds are disappointing when I was getting ~3mb on 3G with my old Touch Pro2.

Maybe I'm just a noob and this is how smartphone wifi works, but I can only pull 2mb/s download and 1mb/s upload speeds using wifi via my HTC Ozone.
I have a 30mbps fiberoptic line and a Dlink DIR-625 router.
IS this normal? My ping is also very high at 180ms.
If this is normal, how come it's SO much slower on mobile devices? It's barely any faster than my 3g speeds....
I also can only get 2mb/s download speed. Using a HTC snap.

I usually get 5Mbps download speeds and 2Mbps to 3Mbps upload on WiFi, I dont think it will go much faster then 8Mbps (its rated for 7.2Mbps). I usually only get 1Mbps on 3G.
There is a program called SmartTweaker that is supposed to help speed up WiFi (and other things) but I have never used it.
okay i get 2 BARS of 4g in my house but my download speeds on WIRELESS TETHER are at 650 the HIGHEST and mostly from 230-350 KBPS on the regular again with TWO BARS of 4g...WHATS WROGN ??IS THIS NORMAL?CUZ i think i used 2 have more b4 the DI18 update
I never really use my wifi on my phone even though I have it at my house. But last night I connected to wifi to compare download speeds with my sons droid x. Well come to find out that this thing is downloading videos at 1.5gbps !!!! I could not believe it, is this a normal speed for the Fascinate? I also have rubiks rom with the data throttle remover. Could I get some feedback, just want to know what most people are running on wifi. Thanks.

1.5gbps? Are you sure that its not mbps?
At that speed, are you downloading videos within a second?
If you are download at 1.5gbps, that's unworldly fast. You mean mbps? Also, Wifi speed also depends on how fast your home internet service is in the first place.

It has to be Mbps; the max speed for wireless N is around 300 Mbps.
correction
My bad guys it is"mdps" After I posted I realized that I mentioned to put mdps.But I still think that's pretty dorm fast, it beats every laptop on the house and this is a phone.
You still probably want to say mbps. Today's phones can match any laptop on the a,b,g,n WiFi band. It all depends on you isp speed and what type of wifi you're using.

Just to let you know wireless N has virtually nothing to do with download rate. That has to do with your ISP wether it be Verizon's Broadband or any ISP... Wireless N can reach speeds of 600Mbps with a dual bonded router and dual bonded adapter... This will only matter if you transfer files on your LAN... Not over WAN... normal maximum bandwidth around the country is anywhere between 1.5-25 Mbps... not to say there isnt faster.
I seem to only get about 200kb/s via wifi on internal networks -- other people seeing the same thing?
mine is working good here...10mb per second...
mine is fast 14.6 download 4 up
14 down consistently which is better than some of my laptops get
Mine is super fast compare to both my modded n1 and g2. Usually the phones do 4 gbps down and 1.something, the xoom doubles
The speed: 9 down and 4 up.

Download speeds are quick and speed tests match my Dell laptop.
No issues here...

i always find that when speeds let down or connectivity problem arise then reset. I reset modem, router, and laptop and then all is good in the world.
Yeah, my xoom's wifi is dropping its connections to my wireless router. I will reset everything on my home network. But I still think something is wrong. I will also try a tether from my galaxy s 4g to see if I get the same loss of connection. I will respond in the next day or two on what happens.

What are you guys using to speed test?
Mine is working.fine. reset my friend

Yeah my xoom will only load half of sites, no matter how long I wait. Wont load facebook or engadget at all. Xda works fine though.

Well, I said I would respond in the next day or two. Well, I've downloaded speedyest.net app from my tetherred phone while my wireless network was resetting. From tether: 2.60mb dl .60mb ul. From wireless network: 17.9mb dl and 2.9mb ul. No connection drops now. Things seem to be fine since resetting network and leaving it off for 10+ minutes.
Mine is working fine...way better than with 3g. Not sure about the signal of verizon in my area, my galaxy tab from tmo is faster.
I got 20M down and 1M up on my wi-fi. My Droid X can barely get 6M down and 1M up.
Not quite the same issue - my speed is fine - but I've noticed the Xoom gets 1-2 less bars of signal on WiFi in the same location than my iPhone or iPad.
It's also quite variable - depending on the orientation of the device, I watch the WiFi signal meter go up and down from 4 bars to 0, and even drop the connection. Meanwhile, my iPad is perfectly happy.
I have also noticed it's worse on 802.11n 5GHz vs 2.4GHz.
What else other than speed test.net app? Lol.
Here's a tip on how to increase your wifi performance. Not by much but it helps:
Use an aluminum foil sheet. Put the sheet behind the router and point it to where you usually use your device.
My ps3 read 92 percent, a 24 percent bump. The router is located in the living room where it has to travel through 2 walls to get to my room. My nexus and the xoom read 3 bars constantly vs 2 bars before.

I have just bought an sim free Arc S
speed test app show a good solid 5mbps down and 3.4 up
how ever in tether via WiFi or usb, it struggles to get past 3 down and 1.5 up
my currently dead galaxy nexus would match its wifi tether speeds with the app
any ideas?
just tested now in the quiet time
phone hit 9.6 down
tether hit 3.5 down
both on speed test on the same server
WiFi tether seems very poor.
I have unlimited data inc tethering my phone are my broadband connection
I have line of sight to my cellphone companys local mast
I get an average of 5mbps busy time, 10mbps quiet time
My currently busted Galaxy Nexus would give me the same results of speedtest either by the app, or on the website on my i7 laptop
The galaxy Y thats my standby phone gives me 4mbps average gives me the same results of speedtest either by the app, or on the website
BUT
The SE Xperia Arc S, has hit 9.6mbps in the app, but its wifi tether will not go much above 3mbps
It also drops and hangs the tether A LOT meaning you sat there waiting a lot.
Ideas ?
Try another theter and report if there's the same issue.
" theter" ?
What's that?
you mean the USB tether
ok, tried that, marginal improvement, still not getting above a stable 3.5mbps for HD streaming, and the connection hangs (pauses) a lot lot more.
yet the phones speed test app still cranks out great results
No, I mean a different WiFi tether or hotspot or AP ...
