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.

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 ...

Just got my N7 2013 today, and it dawned on me that there seems to be a huge WiFi issue in 4.3. I have a 20 Mbps connection at home, an ASUS RT-N66u router, and my N4 and both N7s are constantly testing at around 2 - 6 Mbps. I used to be able to get the full 20 Mbps.
I tried doing a factory reset on the router, rebooted the modem, changed channels, changed frequencies, switched back to an older ASUS RT-N16 router and nothing seems to work.
Anyone else experiencing similar problems? It's incredibly frustrating.

I think my router is struggling with the competition between the 3 Android devices. I somehow got it so that the N7 2013 on the 5 GHz channel can get a full 20 and the N4 on the 2.4 GHz channel can only get 15 but that's also with the other N7 tablet off. I have no idea what's going on... *confused*

Are you running custom Roms, check their MACs. There was an initial issue with Roms and macs.

I'm noticing the same issue. Can't get over 3Mbps with this nexus 7. My HTC one pulls 90-100 consistently though sitting right beside the nexus 7. And my old nexus 7 pulls 40-50.

I've got an ASUS RT-N56u and had some wifi issues with the N7. I was initially getting only around 4-5 mbps when I normally get around 20 mbps. So I toggled wifi on and off and it jumped back up to 20 mbps. I checked again after a few hours and it was down to 4 mbps again until I toggled wifi again.
So I tried setting the wifi frequency band in the N7 advanced wifi settings to 2.4 ghz instead of Auto and haven't had any problems since.
I'm noticing a huge difference with web browsing compared to the original Nexus 7.
What I do notice on both 1st and 2nd gen unit is if I'm using my blue tooth ear piece (jawbone era), it sometimes slows down my browsing and especially stream like Youtube. If I turn off the blue tooth ear piece, things are back to normal. It doesn't happen all the time with the 2nd gen but 90% of the time on the 1st gen.
4.3 WiFi speed seems vastly improved from what I've seen on N7 2013 at a Staples as well as on my N4. (Though the Staples floor model was riding on 5 GHz band)
Im Having the same issue. Nexus 7 slow Wifi

So I got my new Nexus 7, and Im having the exact same issue. Any device I have can pull 20-30mbps on speedtest from my home internet, but my New Nexus 7 only gets like 4-5mbps. Its still stock and unrooted.
Normally it wouldn't be a big issue. But streaming HD video at that rate will be choppy, and on this nice screen i want to see the clarity.
I can do a test from my Nexus 7, get 5mbps, right after do one from my GS4 and get 22. Is it the radio?

Ok I just tried that as well and went into advanced. Set it to 2.4ghz only instead of Auto. It got slightly better.
Then I turned it to Keep wifi on during sleep only when plugged in, and unchecked let Google always scan for networks.
My speed just got up to the high teens, 14-17mbps. Still my other devices are getting 20+, but this is a huge improvement from the 4-5mbps I was getting moments ago. hope this might work for others as well :victory:
I have both the 2012 and 2013 Nexus 7 and I can say that the 2013 model performs significantly better with my router (RT-AC66U). The 2013 model peaks at 150 Mbps (theoretical) and I've pulled 100 Mbps down on it in SpeedTest. The OG Nexus 7 maxes out at 65 Mbps. The range seems similar between the two.
I'm having the same issue with mine as well.
I just got my new 2013 Nexus 7 today as well, and have the same slow wifi issue. All my other devices connect and get around 20Mbps, but when I try my brand new nexus7, only get around 4-5? I tried toggling all the above options, but no dice, still same slow speed!
Anyone have any ideas? Is this related to the 4.3 update? Or is it a hardware issue?

I have the same router but with the R at the end since I bought it from Best Buy. Anyway, what firmware version are you using on yours? Also, did you have the auto-channel enabled for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands?
I'm on a 60Mbps connection and getting about 20 through 3 or 4 walls. about 50 to 60 next to the router.
Just got the Nexus 7 (2013) today, running 4.3.
I am having a different issue. My setup is as follows:
- RT-N66U as main router: device IP:192.168.1.1; DHCP: on; IP starting: 192.168.1.3
- EA-N66 as an AP: device IP: 192.168.1.2; AP mode; Default gateway: 192.168.1.1; Static DNS: same as N66U
Both devices transmit over 5 GHz, same SSIDs, same password. All my devices hop between the router and the AP when I am moving between rooms, based on the signal strength.
The Nexus 7 however, only sees the AP. When running Wifi Analyzer on my galaxy Nexus, I see both MAC ids for the two devices. The Nexus 7 only sees and connects to the AP.
Any idea what could be causing this? It has to be something with 4.2.3 :silly:
I noticed it to when tethering the N7 to my Nexus 4 on LTE. Exchanged it due to excessive screen bleed but haven't opened the new one to check WiFi speeds since I'm not sure I want to keep it at all (will just sell it or gift it).

Can't say I'm having any troubles. My note 2 (not running 4.3) is getting around 40Mb/s whereas the n7's getting around 50ish Mb/s in the same spot

I see now what the problem is. My Nexus 7 v2 doesn't see 5 GHz networks that are transmitting above ch 48. Since I had my router on ch 161 and AP on ch 36, the Nexus 7 would only see my AP.
Any solutions?
I have this issue but on the Nexus 4. My nexus 7 seems to be OK.

so idk how, but it seems as if when i tether my nexus 7 to my g2, I'll get like double the speed every time.
my g2 will struggle to hit around 10 to 12 mbps on 4g, whereas my nexus 7 will shoot immediately up to 20 mbps. my phone has never hit that high, but the tethered device easily does. same server, same everything.
how is that even possible? lol

Damn, is that slow? I have an average of 200Kbps but I feel like I going at light speed when I max out at 250Kbps. Turn it on and off works most of the time, if not try to connect to your network with all devices connected off. If it becomes faster than its your network.

I think that all Tab4 must have the same downloading speed . My SM-T530 show me 6.6 Mb/s
Are you downloading the same thing at the same time on the same network?
There are a lot of variables to account for...

No no no. I'm not downloading nothing at the same time.
Only computer connected to my wifi is off,
I'm turning on speed test on my tab 4 7.0 sm-t230nu and it shows 450 kbps download and 420 upload (about 1,5m from wifi router). Speedtest ends.
Then I'm turning speedtest on my htc one from the same distance and it shows 3500 kbps download and 420 upload (Just like it should be). Then my face goes like: WTF...why it's not the same or even similiar?
Ok so I changed my Wi-Fi network from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz now my download is ok(2600kbps), but it doesnt work like it should, it f.e. says my network is connected but I can't load any page. It's strange........
Even better, I changed Wi-Fi router (to not the one ISP delivered) and it's ok now
There ya go. Usually isp routers are garbage
