OK, so, as I sit and type this, I'm on my ASUS Transformer tethered to my Epic...and I'm getting half the speed I get on my phone. My phone is sitting at around 2.2 mb connection and my tablet is getting around 1 mb.
Is there a way to get better speed out of this set up? It seems just as slow on my laptop, so I don't think it's the tablet.
Also, does anyone know if there's a way that I can USB tether my Android phone to my Android tablet? That would be amazing...USB speed from my phone seems nice and fast.
Thanks!!!
Have you tried one of the later builds of this? I'm getting crash-free full 4g speeds, something I didn't get in earlier builds.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this or knows a little about it.
I do not have cable and have been getting buy watching downloaded videos. Last week I saw a streaming media player that runs off of Wi-Fi and thought to myself, perfect I have Wi-Fi. After buying, hooking it up I started my hotspot on my Nexus and tried to watch a Netflix video. The media player said it's connection speed was 0.1 mbps needless to say trying to watch a movie was a painful experience to say the least.
Since then I have adjusted and played with every setting I could think of and have maxed at .09 mbps (which works but can not see what caused it) but generally around .02 mbps.
I am have a Sprint NS4G in a 3g area running AOKP and MATR1X. It doesn't seem to matter if I have full signal bars or not and the CPU seems to be set at 100 MHz (even though I have played with the settings it just doesn't want to use more resources). I have also tried with and without Wi-Fi tether app.
Anyone know how I might be able to improve my speeds or get my phone to focus more on the hotspot (the resources are there just not being used from what I can see). I would be so appreciative. I would like to see how Hot Tub Time Machine ends lol.
Thanks in advance forum.

I've noticed that my Note has been getting really slow wifi speeds. I've tried speedtest.net using the same server, and my laptop will consistently get around 18mbps, while my Note will only get 3mbps. My Samsung Infuse will get around 12+ mbps. I've tried turning wifi off and back on, but still not dice.
That's weird... Are you running a custom rom and/or kernal?

Bone stock.
me too
I thought it was just my imagination but when connected to wifi my connectivity is slow as treacle. Stock standard config with a few apps installed on my Note.
Anyone have any ideas please?
Seems Samsung just uses a very bad wifi chipset or useless antenna. This is a general Samsung issue but it has the worst wifi.

I've got no wifi issues whatsoever. How is the wifi on your computer/notebook? If you're running windows on your computer try this program: inSSIDer
You can determine which channel is the least crowded. You can also see which channel gives you the highest signal strength.
Hope this helps..

Totally agree ... its something related to the wifi hotspot and the channel you are using .... i get over 20 mbps upload and download over wifi .... i connect my note with my laptop using connectify ,, and my laptop is connected via LAN 100 mbps connection (yes its really 100 mbps , m in southkorea and speed here is just the best) my laptop gets around 100 Mbps on speed test.net but my note sticks around 20 mbps ....

If you see the same results with the Note close (same room) as the router then i suggest you fiddle with the router wifi settings.. pick a different SSID channel f'rinstance
FYI i get 16Mbps on the Note, and many users have reported up to around 50mbps or so..

I think some issues you don't even have to worry about, anything probably over 3 mbps you phone browser wont load the page any faster because of system limitations, the only thing wear you'll notice a different is downloading studff, but I don't see any time you would need to, I get about 20-30 mbps on my note, but the pages don't load any faster than my 3g which is normally around 3-4 mbps.
~56mbit at work
12mbit at home
My Wifi is slow as molasses too. It's ridiculous. I'm not even sure what "change your ssid" even means. Would somebody be good enough to explain a little further.? It's ridiculous that I can't watch youtube on my Note while at home.

Ssid is the broadcast name of the wireless, so virginbroadband or whatever you see when you're searching for networks.
Selecting a different channel changes the spectrum that the Wifi uses. If you're in a crowded area, most people will use the default channel which means everyone's on the same spectrum and it can cause a lot of interference, so changing will often create a more stable bandwidth and therefor increase speeds.

bumpin' an old thread here, got here through google.
Got the same problem, while my mate gets +50Mbit I only get 10 to 15Mbit on the same wifi.
Any idea how this comes?
Running PA 2.51.
I have a stock Verizon SIII running PdaNet(FoxFi) to launch WiFi tethering. The SSID broadcasts fine, and both my (rooted) Nexus 7 and my iPad are able to connect to it just fine. On the iPad speed tests consistently show 18-20Mbps down and 5-6Mbps up. The N7 is another story. It's lucky to get 1Mbps download speed. Speed testing it before rooting was the same.
Any ideas why the N7 is able to see the hotspot and connect just fine, but the speeds are so unusably slow? I figure it's got to be with the tablet, not my phone, since the iPad is able to get normal speeds out of it.
I have a Canadian GS4 (SGH-1337M) and have noticed the wireless speeds are not great. I am an on site computer technician and I use the speedtest.net app to quickly and easily test wireless network speeds when troubleshooting wireless or slow speed issues with peoples computers and wifi networks. In doing so I've noticed there seems to be a cap of about 25mbps down speed with the GS4. Doesnt seem to matter the router or provider I can never break 25mbps down.
I previously had an iphone 4 before I replaced it with my GS4. It has identical wireless performance, this invisible cap of 25mbps down. I personally have 100mbps shaw cable at home, it speed tests over 100mbps down and over 5mbps up on a wired connection and over 95mbps down 5mbps up on a wireless connection on a PC.
I've tested both the 2.4 G and 5ghz wireless N on my dual band router, made no difference. Do these phones only have 54g support? I'm disappointed that a new device with other high speed features such has USB 3.0, LTE and apparent wireless N 5ghz support still cant take advantage of real high speed wifi connections.
any thoughts?
I don't notice any cap on the GT-I9505. I have 120mb down line here at home and the phone, on stock firmware, connected on 5ghz rather than 2.4ghz, with the same speedtest.net app, shows usually around 110mb consistently. Doubt that different variants of the S4 should be so different in this sense unless there is some software fault on your end maybe, though I could be wrong ofc.
