US996 unlocked using OEM site. Phone is rooted. I am running the stock Oct. 1 2016 US99610d Build number deODEXd firmware. I am using Verizon wireless and Verizon FiOS which I recently upgraded from 75/75 to gigabit. At 75/75 my wifi speeds on my V20 were consistently 85/90 D/U with 9 or 10 ms ping using the OOKLA speed test. With my gigabit FiOS I have seen V20 speeds as high as 435/305 but no more. My FiOS desktop PC speed test using the Verizon gigabit speed test consistently shows 949/934 for router and 924/952 for device (PC). My V20 with the OOKLA test however will usually show something like 5 ms ping and 85/110. If I delete the OOKLA app, go into recovery and wipe Dalvic/ART Cache and Cache, then reboot and download the OOKLA speed test and run it I get the Very high 400/300 speeds UNTIL I get out of the app, then rerun it and get the old 85/110 speeds. The WiFi connection on the phone always shows 866 Mbps link speed. All OOKLA tests are from the same OOKLA site. I can tell if the phone on WiFi is in fast mode or slow mode by download speeds in general. I am frustrated trying to figure out what is preventing consistent high WiFi speed (all quoted speeds are from a distance of about 3 feet from the router. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.

I am in Boston enjoying 4g service and getting 8mb down on the street (wow). However, I seem to be limited to about 1.4mb down when I run speedtest on my laptop through wireless tether. Does anyone know the limitations of wireless tether? Am I limited on the speed by WT, the phone, or what?
Speedtest app shows 5-8mb consistently, speedtest website on my laptop shows 1.2-1.4 consistently.
I never trust that site. I have a network monitor widget on my desktop and, when in 4G, I utilize it fully. Usually around 7-9 Mbps down. So my suggestion is to use a monitoring solution that looks at the actual in/out of the network interface.

I've had the exact same problem, and the developer has worked on it a bit, but the page has seemed to die out.
Far better than the apps on the market. It gives real speed of your web connection. I was getting 1.2 -1.5 down on the speed test app when http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ was giving me 4.1ish.
The speedtest.net app has been extremely unreliable for me. When I use it I get a download speed of 800k. If i use a browser based test even from speedtest.net I get 3mbps. The app also lowers my wifi speeds from 5.2mbps to about 3-4. Ping times are also affected.
use www.testmy.net for accurate tests. Make sure you select the mobile tests

Just ran this on my 3GS and I get 3.3mbps on wifi which is impossible considering speedtest.net shows a 30mbps down connection
EDIT : Speak Easy also reports around 30mbps, tried running TestMy on my wired computer and it runs around 14mbps, It seems crippled.

You ran the Speedtest.net on your computer. It will be much slower on the 3GS.
Also, when using the test suite, make sure you select the mobile version, www.testmy.net/mobile
Also select the AUTO option. For comparison, my Verizon Fios connection get 28MB/s download and 27MB/s upload over my laptop using wireless-N 5GHz. Testmy.net gives me the same readings (this is with a XBOX 360 in the background playing COD: Black Ops (hardwired), and my wife upstairs on her laptop playing Cafe' World on the same network band). With nothing else running, my connection is usually spot on 35/35. On my Evo, I get 7.7Mbps download speed. Wireless N but at the 2.4GHz radio. I think when I had my 3GS it was about the same on the Wireless G.
Using the Speedtest app on my phone, I get about 13 downl and 7 up...

Yeah on Speedtest.net app on my iphone on Verizon FiOS I get around 18mbps down with the stock wireless G router. I tried TestMy and it shows a 3.3mbps connection on my iPhone. Both Speedtest and SpeakEasy show a 30mbps down on the wired desktop while TestMy shows only 14down its weird.
Can anyone with this tab tell me what your max download/upload speed is on this Tablet? I'm getting max 100mbps down and 20mbps up. I have xfinity extreme 400mbps internet. Just trying to figure out if it's the max possible speed on the Tab A, or if there's something wrong with mine?
Xfinity Router Speeds.

Are you running it on the 5GHz side or the 2.4GHz side of your router. Xfinity at times installs the service with showing just one access point. This tablet is capable of connecting on the 5GHz band. I used to have the same issue when I lived in Virginia having Xfinnity, until i went into the router and split the two bands, and then allowed the Tablet to only log in on the 5GHz side. Hope this helps.
Unfortunately Im already connected the 5ghz channel, and from what I gather the tablet just isn't capable of to much better download speeds.
I have discovered that my US996 Unlocked and rooted device has typical down/up speeds of 90d/55u when the phone is not being charged. When the phone is connected to a charger the typical speeds are 400d/270u. This is very repeatable. The phone is 3 feet from the router. am using speed.net and the ping is 4 to 5 ms for both configurations. If I start the test with no charger and plug the charger in during the test the speed increases dramatically to the higher values. The verizon.net speed test for the router on my gigabit plan was fairly consistent at 948d and 931u. Is there a way to get the higher WiFi throughput while not connected to a charger?
Which router are you using btw ?
90 Mbs down seems like single stream N, on 2.4Ghz
400 Mbs down is single stream AC at 5Ghz
Can you check what your link speed says in the wifi props on the phone
the single sim V20 is dual stream so you'd expect a doubling of that speed, should be able to do 800Mbs on AC and 180 Mbs on N at 2.4ghz with a dual stream router which most are these days.
The dual sim V20 is unfortunately single stream so my max speeds are 90 & 400Mbs instead of being twice as much
I don't understand why you get a difference in speed in the first place. Should not matter plugged or not
I'm using the Vz provided G1100 gateway router. Link speed on the phone says 866 Mbps. I'm at a loss too - probably a phone hardware problem. BTW, I'm still on US99610d deodexed ROM with Xposed and other mods that I wouldn't THINK would cause the problem, but....

Bolded bit implies your connection is good. Dual AC which i was expecting.
It's possible LG ramp down speeds to conserve battery. Not an issue with general use only with downloading
Bolded bit? Sorry, but I don't know what bit you are talking about. I remember seeing nothing bolded in anything wifi (settings). My router lists my V20 connection as "802.11ac" and I see nothing indicating any problem. But the phone still has the problem. I'm wondering if there could be an antenna problem and the charger conection acts as an extra antenna? Obviously l'm groping in the dark now.
Is the phone's MODEM speed limited to about 50mb/s?
My internet speed is 70mb/s as measured on my computer WiFi connected to my router. The max speed the phone is showing is 48-49mb/s while sitting right next to the computer.
Is there a (build.prop) mod that can speed up the phone's WiFi speed? The phone is rooted.
Your computer could be using a different wifi band than your phone. Computer's speed often differ from the phone. Also both the devices have different types of antenna and operating power levels. I don't think messing with the build.prop would do much.
Let me ask the question differently. Is anyone getting faster than 50mbps on this phone? I am not.
The phone is rooted running 2/1/19 update OEM ROM Potter. Router b/g/n broadcasting at 2.4gHz only. Internet download speed is 90-100mbps on the computer. Phone and computer speeds measured 2 feet away from the router using the same Comcast speedtest app..
