I've been searching for a while and i just cant seem to find the answer. I just upgraded from an AC 1200 to an AC 1900 router. My note 4's wifi link speed on the AC 1200 maxed out at 867 mb/s. on 5ghz which is the max for AC 1200.
Now with the new router it still only connects at 867mb/s and not the max link speed the new AC 1900 router should provide.
I know it dosent matter, has nothing to do with why i bought the router and is plenty fast enough... but it's bugging me.
I just want to know if the N4 tops out at 867mb/s? Has anyone gotten anything higher for a link speed?
thanks!!
I certainly haven't gotten anything higher than that with my RT-AC87 and my Note 4. Only topped out at 700-something Mbps while being in the same room as the router itself.
Usually, the bandwidth numbers on these routers are inflated for marketing reasons anyway. Sometimes they mash together the total theoretical bandwidth for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, sometimes they assume you're using 3x3 clients (I'm pretty sure the Note 4 and most other smartphones and laptops are just 2x2), and sometimes they conveniently ignore the fact that Wi-Fi is an inherently half-duplex connection (transmit OR receive, not both, so your bandwidth's halved for bidirectional communication).
Your new router is probably only a dual band. Two channels of 433 Mbs. = 867Mbs. I have a Nighthawk Tri Band router which will combine 3 channels to allow 1.3Gbs. However I have no devices that support triband connections. My Surface Pro 3 and Samsung Tab S only connect at 867Mbs. Even the new Note 5 specs say Dual Band for the .AC radio spec. I haven't seen any new phones with a Triband spec yet.

I have just got a new broadband contract with O2, here in the UK.
I have a wireless Box IV (4 in roman numerals) which supports wireless N.
My phone is connecting to this wireless box at 65mbps. I had expected it to connect significantly faster, because wirelss N supports up to 300mbps.
Can anyone tell me what the fastest wifi N signal available on the phone is?
Thanks!
James
Mine is consistent @ 65Mbps also.
Never seen mine higher than 65 mbps.
Using an AP D-Link DAP 2553 (Wifi N 300 mbps max) at 2.4 GHz
As far as I know the fastest available Wireless N-chip on any phone is 65mbps. If what I've read is correct this is because phones only have 1 WiFi antenna and speeds higher than 65mbps requires multiple antennas (google "MIMO").
is the galaxy s 2 Draft-N or 5.0GHZ N ?
Thanks guys. Ok, it's good to know it's not a problem with something.

I don't understand your question, SGS2 is dual band (2.4GHz N and 5.0 GHz N).
N-draft is gone since a long time ago, the N-draft standard was approved so basically all units sold as N draft is also "pure" N. But support for 5 GHz is always optional.
65mbps also.
Hi!
Has anyone reached more than 65 Mbps? I tried many different options on my Asus RT-N66U, but I haven't got faster. When I connect to my WLAN, SGN shows only 65 Mbps, while router supports up to 450. If there is a way to get faster I would greatly appreciate to know how) I use 5GHz, WPA2-PSK network
Thanks in advance

Well, might as well respond to this.
Note is being advertised with 802.11N but it isn't exactly what you think. Usually if you see WiFi N you automatically think it's 150 or 300 or 450 in speed.
How they reach those theoretical maximum speeds is MIMO and higher bandwidth. (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output)
Now look at wifi routers or adapters. See a router with 150M? It has one antenna. See a router with 300M? It has two antennas. See a router with 450M? It has three antennas.
Now if you look at their specs you can see they support 20Mhz and 40Mhz bandwidth.
With single 20Mhz link the max you can reach on WiFi N is 72.2Mbps. With single 40Mhz link you can reach 150Mbps.
Now add another link and what happens? Possible speed doubles. Add another link and it triples compared to single.
See the chip/antenna in our phones (other phones as well) isn't simply capable of higher speeds.
The chip and antenna in our phone is only capable of single 20Mhz link. Add higher bandwidth -> more battery is drained. Add another link -> more battery is drained.
If I were you I'd take a quick look at the wiki page for IEEE 802.11 and read a little about the bandwidth, data rate and such. It's actually rather entertaining stuff.

My views coming from a network administrator's perspective.
What sort of Router are you using, what sort of files are you accessing / transferring.
just an example, do you understand there are various type of switches, Normal, Low Latency, Ultra low latency etc...
My point is there are many factors to consider before you can reach certain speed, N specify XX speed means it can reach that speed but criteria do matters.
Hi.
I am getting 50 to 70 Mbit/s wifi speed with my Le Pro 3 Al.
How come i can't get any faster wifi speed ?
And how fast wifi speed do you get in 2.4 and 5.2 Ghz with your Le Pro 3 ?
90.7 Mbps down and 10.6 Mbps up on my x722 on 5 GHz. Tested with the Amplifi app (for Amplifi routers only). But there are a lot of factors at play when it comes to Internet connectivity. Like the speed testing website or app you're using, as well as your proximity to your router.
My router is about 10 feet away from me. If my router was in the living room (I'm upstairs), I would be at around 30 to 50 Mbps down right now.
Also, add peak times for your ISP to the list of factors. My ISP (Rogers)'s peak times are in the evening. That's when everyone here is streaming Youtube and Netflix in HD. Some ISPs will throttle you during certain times too.
Another factor could be your Mediatek processor and your device's WiFi chipset. When it comes to wireless or LTE, Qualcomm has it down pat. I saw that the Pro3 AI does have MU-MiMO and two-stream WiFi like its Snapdragon counterparts, but I can't find any official specs on it.
Have you tested other Android devices on your WiFi connection? You'll know if it's just your device with those speeds then.
After extensive troubleshooting with my ISP's highest level tech support (I escalated my issue to the highest level) and ultimately swapping my Arris XB6 router/modem with a brand new one with a different chipset, my S6 Lite attains atrocious 2.4 GHz speeds.
Before people lecture me on how I should be using 5 GHz only, the fact is I usually can't because of physical limitations such as concrete walls, congestion, and and distance. What's interesting is how when connected to 5 GHz, speeds are fantastic and mirror other devices including my laptops, mobile devices such as iPhone/iPads, and even a wired ethernet connection to the desktop.
However, things quickly go to **** when using 2.4 GHz. I exchanged my S6 Lite and it's still doing the same. I tested it out in another area using a different AP with a different ISP using only 2.4 GHz and I got the same result.
When using other devices including new or legacy devices, they all kick the S6 Lite's butt in terms of speed. While I can often only achieve 6 -10 Mbps with the Lite, I get close to 70 Mbps on other devices and even with an old Nexus 7 2013 I get close to 40 Mbps, but not with the Samsung - connected to 2.4 GHz.
Using Wi-Fi spectrum analyzers signal strength and speeds are all awesome. I have a signal of around -37 dBm when on either 20 or 40 MHz channel bandwidth. I tend to get slightly faster speeds on my Lite via 20 instead of 40 Mhz. Channels are manually selected as Auto gives the worst possible speeds.
As such, I have come to accept this is Wi-Fi is an issue with the Lite and an not a defect per se. It's engineered this way. My question is though, how and why? Does Samsung use two different radios or "network" cards on the motherboard? And if anything, shouldn't the 5 GHz spectrum suffer before the 2.4 GHz? From past experience using Android TV Boxes, my issues have always typically been when connected to 5 GHz.
I am looking for some techincal thoughts on this issue since the Nintendo community and support agents don't know enough hardware or software to help me find the root of the issue.
I have a V1 Nintendo Switch which appears to have a BCM4356XKUBG Broadcomm WiFi + Bluetooth IC inside that has a max theoretical data rate of 867 Mbps. However, despite having the maximum MTU, extremely low latency DNS servers specified, having the router's and the switch's antenna array less than 3 inches away from one another with line of sight, using an open channel on 5 GHz WifI (scanned it using Inssider)...I still cannot break 60 Mbps with a reliable 350 Mbps wireless signal confirmed by 3 devices at a similar distance.
Any thoughts or ideas? Is Nintendo possibly limiting the bandwidth in firmware?
