I can't find definitive specs on the wifi capabilities of this phone. Specifically which speeds each band supports on each standard (N, AC).
My netgear r7000 is capable of up to 600mbps on the 2.4Ghz band and 1.3 mbps on the 5 ghz.
I have a 155 mbps internet pipe which is over provisioned to somewhere around 175 mbps. I can generally saturate this easily on the 5ghz band during offpeak hours. But usually get somewhere around 80-90 mbps on the 2.4ghz band.
From the router wireless status, the 5Ghz band syncs at 866mbps (900mbps), but max I see on the 2.4Ghz is 144mbps. This explains the speed bottleneck. What it doesn't explain is why the 2.4ghz side is syncing at such a low rate. Signal strength shouldn't be an issue as the router and phone are less than 10 feet apart.
Thoughts?
I think I just found my answer.
Bottom of page 6, remark 1 - https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=2664811
1. 802.11 40 MHz bandwidth is not supported in 2.4GHz WLAN.

Lack of a 40 mhz bw at the 2.4 mhz band is why it tops out at 144mbps (N150) instead of 300 (N300). I'd speculate the reason might be because some of the supported radio bands are very close by (1900, 2100, 2500, 2600 mhz).
This puts one mystery to rest
Good in depth explanation on the topic:

I downloaded the speedtest.net application and over the course of a month tested my speeds on wifi and 3g in Seattle. I was wondering what speeds people were getting as mine feel really low
For wifi I'm avging about 1/2 mbps (my upload is faster )
For 3g I'm avging about .5/.3 mbps
Is there a different speedtest I should be using? Are these speeds typical or is something wrong with my phone...
Thing is. I feel like the internet is pretty fast esp on wifi... maybe the readings are just wrong
Wifi N @ home - Ping: 37, Download: 2,245kbps, Upload: 2,822kbps
Wifi G @ work - Ping: 151, Download: 607kbps, Upload: 1,364kbps
3G - Ping: 138, Download: 802kbps, Upload: 427kbps
H - Ping: 111, Download: 927kbps, Upload: 244kbps
My 3G speeds have varied too much by location to really justify posting here. I've never seen over 1Mbps, but I usually see over 400Kbps down. Up varies a lot more, but never more than 1Mbps and never less than 100kbps.
But, what I did want to mention is that I have an N router with 20Mbit Comcast connection at home and my phone typically sees 10Mbit down and 5 to 8Mbit up. I also see speeds in that range here at work where I can't vouch for what kind of routers or what kind of internet connection they use, but both are likely fairly fast.
So, if you are only seeing 1/2Mbps on your Wifi, it is probably limited by your router or your broadband connection.
[BTW, browsing the web via Wifi at home and at work feels almost as snappy as my latest generation Macbook Pro. It was quite stunning compared to my G1...]
Tested my phone for couple days with the speedtest app. Highest I've gotten today is 3341kbps download speed. Usually download speeds are between 2500 and 3000.
Anyone else getting terrible speed on WiFi. I am getting around a meg down and half up...on FiOS 50/25.
You're not the only one...there's another thread here somewhere.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
Download: 16.6 MBit/s
Upload: 5.6 MBit/s (provider limited)
Ping: 25 ms
Down: 50 Mbps (can get about 95 consistently on my computer on the same line)
Up: 5 (provider max)
Ping: 14ms
I'm happy with the wifi performance. Could only consistently get 30 down on my GS2.
2.4 GHz or 5 ghz? The interference can cause very poor speeds on 2.4 GHz networks as there are only 3 overlapping networks. I get 25 to 35 Mbit on an 802.11n 5 GHz network. Have you run any WiFi scanning apps to check for interference?

On my gs3 same network I used to get 30+/10+...something isn't right.
Yup same issue I think the WiFi radio needs a software update

Getting 17/2.5 here, same as my desktop.

I've had this. Turned wifi on/off and it fixed it so that I got a nice fast connection
i had very slow wifi speed...
the solution that work for me is
on /system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
set "gEnableBmps=0"
disable the BMPS "Beacon Mode Power Save"
now i have good wifi speeds
Hello, I have an Asus zenfone 3 ZE520KL and I have a huge problem with this phone, at wifi capabilities, in 2,4 Ghz 150 Mbps N, and 2N 300Mbps routers, it negociates just with 72 Mbps only. It is frustrating. And with AC band 5 Ghz router it negociates in 150 Mbps.
This is a normal thing ? This phone can not negociate with 150 Mbps in 2.4Ghz N Band ?
Thank you!
Rate this thread to express how you think the Nokia 8.3 5G's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Umm taking a break from poop hurts. Butt my nokia 3v is very slow or put root come on
I'm not an expert in this area, but I'll say that I'm unimpressed with the 5G so far. I'm sure it's capable of high speeds, but I have T-Mobile, which I like, but the speed indicator seems to be meaningless. Mine might say 5G or 5G LTE but still take 5-10 minutes to download less than 100 megabytes of data (sometimes much less). This page only list 4G, but I'm guessing 5G is the same on the minimum, with no actual range. You can see that there is basically no minimum speed; so, don't count on anything it's just marketing. If it wasn't, then it would indicate some actual range, but with a minimum of "LESS" than .1 Mbps, forget it.

Upload speeds: Typically between 4 – 20 Mbps, with minimum expected speeds of less than 0.1 Mbps
Latency: Typically between 30 – 50 ms
4G LTE Network (Via Smartphone Mobile HotSpot/Tethering, for Plans Including 4G LTE Tethering):
Download Speed: Typically between 5 – 31 Mbps, with minimum expected speeds of less than 0.1 Mbps
Upload Speed: Typically between 3 – 15 Mbps, with minimum expected speeds of less than 0.1 Mbps
Latency: Typically between 30 – 50 ms
P.S. So far this is from google or f-droid or similar; servers that shouldn't be maxed out
I don't have a 5G simcard, but I'm able to get 4G+ in my area. On Google's internet speed test it ranges from about 40-120Mbs download, slightly lower upload.
As for Wifi, we have a 500Mbs package, and the 8.3 can reach speeds of 400Mbs in close proximity to the router.

I don't have that problem, also on tmobile in a large metro area ie lots of coverage.
I have a general question on Wifi connection. pls share your thoughts on this.
I have a 40 mbps connection in my room. pls says that any of below 2 conditions makes any difference.?
4 mobile phones coneected to 2.4 GHz in a same room (40 mbps fibernet plan).
2 mobiles connected to 2.4 Ghz and 2 mobiles connected to 5 Ghz of same router (40 mbps fibernet plan).
does condition 2 makes any difference?
