[Q] Do you have speed problems with Wifi? (N-band)
I have wifi N router and set to N only. I have two laptop both wifi N capable. When I transfer file usung file sharing betwen two laptop I m getting speed abt 3Mb/s but when i transfer file between laptop and SGS I only get speed of 300 Kb/s. SGS support wifi N standerd then why it so. Well I use ES file explorer to access file in my laptop over Wi- Fi.

It's a mobile device, they have lower throughput and probably only 1 antenna (most 802.11n devices have 3). There are a lot of factors, but basically, all that's important is that it supports the 802.11n protocol. Optimisation may lead to faster speed boosts over time though.
Network traffic might also be set to a low priority to help ensure the phone runs reliably for other tasks, but I have no idea why exactly it's slower exactly.
I get 1.5mbs from my nas and wireless n network

i get 19.5mb downlaoding speed
and 4.3mb uplaoding speed
on my wi-fi
my connection 500/500mb
I m talking abt internet speed. I m asking abt file transfer speed betn my SGS and laptop
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
87 Mbps according to mine
i'll grab a screen shot when i get back home
87 seems too much I only get 25 while copy file on hard drive it self
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
that's actually low for me, but is better than nothing
my PC down in the cine room gets around 218+ Mbps
I get about 80Mbps laptop <-> network (802.11n 5Ghz), and about 5Mbps SGS <-> network (802.11n 2.4Ghz). Not horrible, but certainly not wonderful. I wish it had a 5Ghz radio too, so I could turn off my 2.4Ghz stuff :-/
[Q] Do you have problems with Wifi? (N-band)
Since my phone is on it's way to the repaircenter I would like to ask you all this Question.
I have problems with my wifi connection. The strange thing is, is that my router is brandnew! b+g+N!!!
The weird part is that it has only problems with the N-band
SO I hooked up another wireless router only with the b+g band and BAM it works.
But that's just messed up to have 2 wireless routers one for laptops and one just for my mobile phone...
So can u try the same thing and give me your comments about this issue?
there was already a topic about this
however one topic we did not touch base on, on the other topic was about the B+G bands
if you read the documentations you'll noticed that for N to work at full speed, it must only listen to N no B no G
when you use Mix mode, N doesn't work well
to use N, you need 2 bands, B + G only needs 1 band
if you enable all 3 B+G+N you only get 1 band for all, so making the N useless
the trick is to update all your old hardware that still runs G or B to N
then you can use pure N, and gain full speed
the SGS phone can run up to 87 Mbps on N
meanwhile computers can go up to 280+ Mbps

Can't connect to home WPA2 wifi
Hello!
The problem is that I've been trying to connect to my home wifi like 100 times or more, but I'm still unable to get it working... The wifi it's WPA2 and it has a long sentence password...
Any ideas? Thank you!

[Q] manual wifi fix app?
Hey, like many Android users I'm often having problems with Wifi not connecting to APs. While that can be fixed by restarting Android that takes a lot of time and is more than annoying. There are some apps to solve this issue, they "fix" wifi whenever the screen is turned on (e.g. http://www.appbrain.com/app/wifi-fixer/org.wahtod.wififixer http://www.appbrain.com/app/blade-wifi-fix/com.bladewififix).
That however I don't like either as due to the fixing taking place always wifi connection becoming established takes quite a lot of time. So my question: Is there an app that fixes the wifi connection but does so only manually, e.g. by clicking a widget button?
[Q] Can't connect to Wifi?
I select my Wifi network, I enter in the password, it says connecting, authenticating, connected, remembered, then it says disconnecting, searching, authenticating, and it repeats. The H at the top never disappears, no Wifi icon ever appears, what is the issue exactly?
And yes, I am connecting to a Wireless-G signal.
Don't worry I can't connect to your home network either so it's not a problem with your phone
I suggest you delete the password from the router and try and connect .
If you connect setup again with the password .

I had the same problem and i manage to fixit with "WIFI STATIC". It's free on Market. Access your router config and add your Galaxy Mac adress, then fill the parameters in WiFi Static. It Works! Never had problems again! Oh, i think you have to put your's computer(s) mac adress too in the router.
is there really no such app? :-(
I have the wifi only model of the Xoom and have noticed that my wifi speeds decrease if the unit is left on for a couple of hours. It will only get back to full speed after rebooting. For instance, after bootup I can get up to 20mbps. After an hour or so, I'll drop to 3-5mpbs max. I tried not running anything after bootup except for the speedtest.net app and get the same behavior. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I am running Honeycomb 3.2. I have searched on this forum but no one is having any similar issues, just wifi dropouts. I don't have that problem. The only services running at the time of bootup are Music, Thumbkeyboard, Minimalistic text, Maps and Google Services.
Your router will affect that. I had that issue until I bought a real high speed router. Also check your router settings for the through put speeds. You can set that to 54mb or higher and change to channel 11. See if that helps.

I have the D-link DGL4300 router. That's a high end router. But I'll try setting it to Channel 11 to see if that helps. I have the same issues using the wireless at work as I do at home. Hopefully this change helps.
Changing the channel would only improve speed if the channel you are currently using is crowded. Channel is merely frequency. As for slowing, it is probably your routers qos.

Yeah that doesn't work. How do I change my qos?

I highly suggest setting up a static IP address if you know how to do so. A static IP is a more direct connection to the device. In other words: Auto settings will do everything by itself to the best of its ability, meanwhile a static IP says that it will go right here to this specific device right now. Thus, you will have a more solid connection to the device with an internet connection.
Setting up a static IP address is really easy, you just have to know a little bit about your router, and know how to work with setting up custom IP addresses. Once you learn it, you would apply that to all of your internet enabled devices, not just the Xoom.
I have all of my devices set up this way, Xoom included. It runs smooth as butter like always.
Setting a Static IP Address in Windows 7
This website has some basic knowledge, although it is for Windows 7. The same rules apply to any other device as well. You'll have to check your wireless router settings and see what devices are connecting to it, and what their IP addresses are. Once you know that... it should be pretty easy to get things rolling. The other basics like subnet mask, and default router are explained in the website.

This is great advice for when the AP you're connecting to has trouble negotiating DHCP, but it seems to me the OP is talking about link speed.
OP: there's a memory leak in some versions of the wifi driver that can cause the symptoms you're seeing. I've seen it a few times even in 3.2, but toggling wifi usually cures it.
I bought a 300mb netgear and it fixed my issue at home. At work is a diff story. Max speed on those routers is 54mb and it pauses all the time. Seems to me the xoom was designed for speed and the cheaper routers can't keep up with the data.

your problem might be cache full as it is ok after reboot. try installing a cache cleaner ng apk from market. it can schedule a auto cache clear daily.

Ok. I think the problem that was sucking down my wifi speeds was a god damn live wallpaper. I downloaded the one called Shadow Galaxy from the market. After I rebooted yesterday, I had changed the wallpaper to a plain one. It's been about 20 hours so far since my last reboot and I'm still getting 15 to 20mbps! I'll keep you guys posted.

I kinda figured as much, but y'all seemed to have this down already. Figured I would offer up some useful info to make a more solid internet connection.
If none of the other options helped, in your routers settings (generally 192.168.0.1), probably advanced then quality of service, you can probably turn on or off the native qos, or make an exception. I'm not sure, Im not familiar with d-link software...

Im having the same problem with my Xoom (3.2), after been conected some time to a wifi speed decreased a lot! What i do is turn off then turn it on again, that fixes it
It there a fit for that?

wouldnt this only be the cause if the live wallpaper connects to the internet... i have one which just uses photos from my sd card... maybe we could try restricting its access to the internet and maybe that will have an affect? I dont know how to restrict internet access though
Just switch it to a stock wallpaper for now and see if that works.
im not using live wallpaper, just an stock one.
I just did the process to restore full speed again, this is happening in all placess i go, at least once at day, i think is a honeycomb (3.2) problem, not just a live wallpaper :-S
First - Hi all, long time reader but this is the first time I've needed to start a thread - so sorry about my first post being a problem/Q!
I've not had my Nexus 4 long, but have got some pretty annoying Wi-Fi issues. I've searched for answers but it seems that people have different Wi-Fi problems and I just wanted to see whether my issue was a common one and, if so, is there a fix on the horizon?
My issue is that I can connect to some routers but not to others (work, home, most open networks)... when I connect it simply says "saved, secured with WPA/WPA2" but wont then connect.
Phones running stock 4.2.1 with franco kernel r28 and the things I have tried are:
Resetting routers
Assigning static IP address
Wi-Fi direct from my Nexus 7
Cleared cache from recovery
changed the Wi-Fi band from 'Auto' to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
Flashed new kernel
Very frustrating and because of my signal the lack of Wi-Fi has made me go back to my old phone while I wait for a fix... which connects perfectly to the networks (S3 running CM 10.1)
Is this a 4.2.1 issue - as seems to be the consensus with other Wi-Fi issues or possibly a hardware issue?
Thanks for any info!
There's one fix you've not tried which might work for you (it didn't for me). You would have to be rooted though, which is going to system/etc/dhcpcd and changing the permission on dhcpcd-run-hooks to read and execute from "others". This help some people out but turns out for me that my router isn't compatible with my phone. (DSL-2780).
I've noticed that some of the mobile devices(eg iPhone 3gs, SGS2) are quite sensitive to wireless channel which your router/ap broadcast on.
Try manually switch to channel 6 or 8 that solved my issue - I don't believe in incompatible routers usually problems are related to config.
It is more complicated with an access to the public WiFi as you can not modify the setup.

I too have wifi issues with my N4. We have several phones at home - an HTC Aria and believe it or not the SGS1, SGS2 and SGS3!
All of them connect with no problems. My brand new N4 will see the router but refuses to connect until I toggle wifi on/of serveral times in succession, sometimes 6-8 times!
I have avoid poor wifi disabled but it does not help
I really hope El Goog fixes this asap as it is very frustrating.
I've had this issue forever. Android phones hate low or overcrowded signal. Though my nexus 7 always works fine. Makes me think it is the lack of WiFi antenna strength

Nope, i have a 4.2.2 and its same think
i have a problem in my nexus 4 wifi ... it don't connect automatically to wifi network ,, i have to turn wifi off and turn it on to connect !!! any solution ??
One very irritating "feature" on my note 3 is it's automatic network disconnect when it thinks the internet connection speed is poor. Is there any way to override this automatic disconnect? Particularly since there seems to be a well known bug with the galaxy range wifi network which thinks the connection speed is poor even if there is nothing wrong with the wifi signal or Internet connection speed.
Try this.

Unfortunately the wifi connection dropping issue seems to be highly dependant on your router.
Most people with the problem (including me) solved it with a different/newer router.
If you have spare time you could waste it ticking/unticking boxes in the wifi menu .. & THEN change your router lol

I am having the same issue on a corporate wireless network behind a proxy. It will connect, perform the connection speed test and then disable the network due to the connection speed being slow.
I am able to connect to a WiFi network on a secondary connection which does not go through the proxy. Both connections are on the same network.

Yes.... obviously an OS bug but we are stuck with it currently.
The information people need is how to COPE with the bug. I changed my router & no more problems so there's router's that will stop the issue occurring.

Hello people of XDA!
I had my note 3 runnning on CM11, suddenly it wouldnt connect to my router 5ghz network anymore but it did fine on the 2.4GHZ i tought it was a CM11 bug so i restored back to TW now i can connect to the network but my Download speed is really slow (about 1-2 mbps compared to my laptop wich speedtests at 50 Mbps running the same wifi)
The question is: is my note broken (again) or what should i do ?
Great now i cant even connect to the 5GHZ network, if somone kind would help me i would be thankfull!
(You havent changed any settings in your router lately ? )
You tried rebooting ?
If wifi isnt working at all one of your last chances might be a backup + wipe system/clean flash of current ROM.
Use wifi anyalyzer on the play store, and see what channels other routers are using, if they are on the same as yours and there is an empty spot somewhere, try changing your routers channel to a free one.
I have had many issues in the past due to this, damn neighbours! Haha
This may not even help, worth a try.

Well im the only 5ghz network here nearby according to Wifi analyzer, strangely i can connect to the 5GHZ via wifi analyzer but after i exit the app it disconnects... Weird...
Could be the location settings under Google settings, caused me problems with glitchy internet in the past. Switched it to gps only one time and after that to desired setting and it solved the issue for me.
Hope it helps.
