hello guys,
i recently bought a new router tp link (td-w8960n) that supports 300 Mbps connection rate. as far as i know nexus 4 supports Wi-Fi 802.11 n dual-band, that supposed to be 300mbps.
when i connect to the network (with and without wifi optimizations) the connection rate is 72mbps reported by the device.i have full signal (about -50 to -60 dBm) and the router about 1 meter from the phone without anything in between. the network is broadcasting in 2.4 GHz and channel 13 without any interference from other networks on the same channel.
my question is why can't i connect to a higher rate? at least i should be connected at 150 Mbps. this is very strange to me.

Hi,
I have a UK Desire Z. The spec says the phone is capable of connecting to b/g/n wifi standards. However I am having trouble seeing my N network on the wireless list. Has anyone sucessfully connected thier phone to an N network?
Are you trying to connect to a 2.4hgz network or a 5ghz one?
It should work on the 2,4 but not on the 5 ghz
I have dual-band router and Desire Z does see/connect to 2.4GHz N network. It does not see 5GHz network. But my 5GHz is running in two channel 40MHz mode, didn't have time to check if switching to single channel would allow Z to connect.
Mine connects fine to my home Wi-Fi network, which is 'N' standard. Not sure what speed it is connecting at, or whether it's dropping back to B/G though.
Do you have MAC address security blocking set on your router, and if so have you told it about the phone's MAC address?

This verifies that answer, changing to single channel on 5GHz will not make a difference.
The wifi radio on the DZ is a 2.4GHz radio.
I've seen that the Atrix does indeed support it... Has anyone done speedtests with it?
I connected to my 5Ghz network at home, but it wouldn't connect to the net.

My 5Ghz works but the reception is not very good. I may say, it's bad.
i am able to pull an average 40 Mbps of my 55 Mbps connection and upload 8 Mbps of an 8 Mbps connection on my new atrix
9.33 Mbps
1.47 Mbps
Server is ~920 miles
on my wifi, 5ghz pulls 20828 kbps down 8343 kbps up
using the 2.4ghz on my same network pulls 8024 kbps down and 1730 kbps up to the same server
Thanks for the replies Have you guys tried pushing a file to te phone with an FTP client with 5ghz?
Hey I'm using the Linksys WRTU54G-TM with Comcast. I get ~16mbps on speedtests if connected via wired. If I buy a new router(wireless n) then am I going to notice a decent speed increase?
Btw I do not use T-Mobile for home phone anymore.. just still use the router
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
Not to your router's internet speed.
Assuming you've got wireless G devices in the house, then those devices will have a faster connection to the router.
Wired connection to the router is likely to be 100Mbps, so more than your internet connection of 16Mbps, so something connected directly to the router is going to have a 16Mbps internet connection.
Wireless connection is much slower, depending on how far you are from the router, you may only have a 6Mbps connection to the router, therefore you can only use 6Mbps of the 16Mbps internet connection.
Think of each connection as being a pipe, 1inch diameter for every Mbps, so you have a 16inch pipe coming into your router.
Any pipes going from your router to your devices that are bigger than 16inches will let you access the whole 16inches, whereas any pipes that are smaller than 16inches will only let you access up to their own diameter.
You will only notice a difference transferring files on your own network. 802.11G is rated for 54 Mbps which is faster then the 16Mbps going to your house. I believe 802.11N is rated for a little over 100Mbps.

wired vs wireless
hey i can tell you difference b/w wired n wireless connection simply...
wired===> more perfomance,less convinience
wireless===>less performance,more convinience
n has more bandwidth and extended range so you MAY see an improvement.
The speed test you're talking about is on wired. Getting a wireless N router won't necessarily do anything for wired connections.
If you have a very fast connection, like something in the ~30-40mbps range, then Wireless G might not cut it. Even though it is rated at 54mbps this is basically never possible in real world scenarios. You need wireless N to reliably push 30-40mbps or higher.
I connect Defy+ (MB526) to my 802.11n AP (TP-LINK WR1043ND)
But the connection speed only 54mbps ( >1 FT=30cm)
My laptop connection speed is ~300mbps
Why Motorola Defy Wifi speed is so slow?
I found the tests:

Despite the poor results on the test I'd like to try to achieve higher speed WiFi connection? How to achieve that?
Ummm, even though your router has the "n" wifi protocol, your defy hasn't ... i think the maximum protocol for defy is "g", with a top speed of 54Mb ... so your tests are ok...
no, it isn't:
WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot

official:

Sorry for mistake! ;-)

I tried the Wifi Bonding (Qualcomm) mod created by simonsmh to enable 40mhz on 2.4ghz mode. However it did not work. The mod is installed but without any positive results.
On my phone, I am still connecting to my home wifi @ 72mbps only while my other clients are connecting at 270-300mbps link speeds!
Any clues guys?

Same problem on my Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo). Work's on 5GHz but not on 2.4GHz.
Enable 40 MHz option in the width range of router 2.4 GHz or choose the maximum width of your router in 2.4GHz option , you are set to go and restart your device and router !!
