Guys
I have not been able to stream 5 secs of the transformer video or any youtube video without significant stutter and lag. I have plenty of speed with my home wifi as far as i know. I have 20+mbs with Comcast and never have issues with my wifi.
what could be wrong...is it my N7 or my router?
I'm so happy someone else has this issue. Well not happy but happy to know I'm not the only one. I have 30+ download on my home WiFi and it lags when I try to watch YouTube also. Its very annoying. It can't be my WiFi because I have tried several other devices and they work great. Hopefully an update will come and fix soon because I'm an avid youtuber. But yeah your not the only one man.

I was having a issue watching transformers as well, I also rented a movie using my credit and never finished it because of lag.

try do a speed test see what's the through put you get on your device. Also, in the wifi setting, see at what speed you are connecting to your wifi router.
Speed test is 27mbps and my WiFi settings speed is 54mbps. I don't see a problem?

yea, doesn't seem like any problem with your connection. Did you try streaming via other apps such as hulu or only lags in youtube?
Some thing you can try:
1. wipe youtube memory and try it again. You can even try uninstall it and download a fresh copy from the market. If still lags, try #2
2. install the flash apk and try streaming youtube via another browser such as Dolphin HD and see how it works out.
what would you suggest I use for a speed test?
using speed test.net app my speeds are
1659 kbps DL
and
4592 kbps UL
seems like i might have a router problem if that's all i'm getting on the DL
my hardwired LAN gets 24 Mbps

If that's the speed you are getting through a router then there is a problem, perhaps router related.
Go to wifi setting on N7, tap on your current wifi connection, it should tell you the speed you are connected. Ideally it should be 54mbps or higher depend on your setup, but based on your numbers it seems it's connected at much lower speed, below 15mbps I'd guess. My 3g dl speed is even higher than that.
use your phone or another wifi device to do a speed test again, if similar low number then check your router's wifi configuraiton or change a router.
Last night I was on Netflix watching Weeds and the only time there were any hiccups was at the beginning of the episode when Netflix was adjusting the quality to my internet connection. By the end of the theme song there was no noticeable stutters and I believe it had upgraded to HD 720p. So Netflix seems to not be a problem.

My Cell phone HTC One S is even worse on wifi....352 kbps DL speeds.
I have a pretty new router. this doesn't make sense to me.
I just noticed the cap-out link speed of 65Mbps too. The manual says that the N7 is 802.11b/g/n capabile, so I figured I should see at least 150Mbps (if not 300Mbps like my laptop).
Anyone else noticing this low cap-out? Is this a software issue of the N7 or a hardware issue that I should have my unit exchanged for?

Normal G router will have max of 54mbps so looks like you have a N router since you are connected at 65Mbps. Some wireless N router can only output 150mbps and some will do 300mbps. Most of modern mobile device's wifi N adapter is only rated up to 150mbps however. 65mpbs is really on the low side for N network but still sufficient unless you wish to do a lot streaming withing your own network. Keep in mind that, if you have both G and N wireless device connected to your router at the same time, the link speed will be reduced depend on your router's configuration.

I have verified that I can connect to the router\access points in my place at speeds between 242-300Mbps no problem. I have no G devices connected. It appears that the N7 is capping out a 65Mbps.
My question was whether anyone else (other than Rugged96 and myself) is seeing this in their WiFi connection info?

I guess N7 will have a max of 65mbps just like most of the phones out today mainly due to the single antenna. To get higher N speed you need multiple antennas (MIMO)
I won't be able to deconstruct my router until later tonight. I am working from home and need to stay focused....

So it is a limitation of the physical hardware...That is good to know. I was worried that something was wrong with my tablet.
Thanks!
Man that is BS!!!! Your telling Me I can't watch an HD movie on YouTube because the tablet went let me??? Why do they even have the option to go HD then? My internet pushes out 35mbps. That should be more then enough to run HD.

No problems here. Watched transformers Friday night with no problem. Sunday my wife used the timewarner app to watch NASCAR. I have even used the watch ESPN with no problems tethering from HOX. Not saying its not your N7 but it sounds like a problem with your network. Unplug cable modem for a min or do a reset through the GUI. Maybe reset the router while at it.

For some reason, my HTC One handles my wifi fine...but my S4 is sloooooooow.
The images will show what I'm talking about. Same WiFi connection, same spot in the living room. Any ideas why this may be?
I have the 24mbps from U-Verse and my laptop, iPad Mini, and Xbox are also having no issues, so the only thing slow is my S4.
NEVERMIND, AFTER FOUR RESTARTS IT FINALLY FIXED ITSELF...

Which wi-fi router are you using? I had a D-Link which would not work with the S4 and it turns out that there are compatibility issues between D-Link and Samsug phones. It would work everywhere else, AT&T hotspots, my work w-fi, etc. I had to run out and get a new router. It now works flawlessly.
No problem here, glad yours resolved itself.

Is this a known issue? I just got a S4 and have a D-Link Extreme gaming router and the phone will just not work. I refuse to change my router for a phone as all my other devices have no issues with this router.

It's a known issue in the sense that there are compatibility problems between D-Link routers and Galaxy phones.
I have not really had issues with my 4500. After some deep searching I was able to get it to work with the right settings. So I will keep my router which works on all my devices.
So, that's it; no solution just screwed if we own a DLink router? Blah... lame. What a bummer.

I have a Dlink DIR-655 wireless n router and I'm having the same issues with my phone/router. The issue seems to be with the dlink implementation of wireless N. Force your router to use wireless G and all probs go away.... I know this isn't a solution, because if your like me... you stream video... and G sux for that!
but its a fix in the short term....

I'm using a relatively new Netgear R6300 that has 802.11AC connectivity but can only get the S4 to connect to it on 802.11G - is there a way to change the band frequency to 5GHz so it can support the AC mode? I cannot find any options in the Advanced when connecting to the router.

Anyone have any luck with this? I just purchased an R6250 and 5Ghz AC only connects at max 58Mbps when I'm standing right next to the router. I think it's more on the phone side. My Tab Pro connects at 433Mbps.

Was it just a design flaw with the phone? My wife's S4 Active seems to connect at 433mbs, but it's a slightly different phone.

Could be the phone, the driver, or the OS. I've seen many mentions of this issue with the S4.
Hello, I own 2 nexus players, suddenly 2 days ago after working well, both started to develop slow wifi connections, streaming is nearly impossible, I downloaded a web browser for the device and opened a speed test page, the maximum speed registered is no more than 1.5 mbps while my internet connection is 10 mbps, all my other wireless devices get at least 9.8 mbps when tested the connection, strangely in the nexus playerthe speed increases a little more during the morning at the most to 3 mbps. I tried everything regarding the router, at first I used my dsl router wifi then I turned it of and started using my airport extreme, no changes in my nexus players, and getting full speed in my other devices, then I connected the nexus players to the airportextreme 5ghz wifi network, no change, I also tried to get the router closer to the nexus player, no change.
The last thing I tried is to share my mobile 4g connection to the nexus player which is about 25 mbps, I was standing next to the nexus player and the fastest speed it got was 1.5 mbps.
The problem occur in both nexus players, my other wireless devices get full wifi network speed, I dont know what else to do. Is this a common known issue?
How far away are they from the router? I have my router and NP #1 in the same room, and 5ghz signal is excellent. But the signal for NP #2 in the bedroom is lousy, so it uses the 2.4ghz band.
Maybe try using a wifi analyzer app to see what the best channels are for your router?
The router is at the most 15 feet from the nexus player. The strange thing is that both worked fine for about 3 months and suddenly at the same time they presented this problem. Could it maybe a firmware update? Mmmm When I shared my 4g connection I was three feet from the nexus player, I have no further ideas of what could be the problem. Neither google nor asus have responded my emails.

Exactly the same problem I have. It started today. I have even performed factory reset but without any help. It runs 6.0 software but until today everything works fine. My internet connection is 40/20 mb/s and all other devices works just fine.Anyone knows what can be?

most likely a driver incompatibility issue that came with the latest update.
I assume this to be the case since I used to have wifi problems with the Nexus player in the past, which used to disconnect from my wifi sometimes, especially with my 5GHz wifi, to which it never managed to stay connected more than a few days in a row. And all of those problems are gone after the new update. So I assume that the changes fixed things for some people (like me) and broke things for others (like you). My speed from the Nexus Player is blazing fast as well, it maxes out my connection when performing a speed test.

If it is happend right after I have updated to 6.0 I will understand but three weeks later....
Somewhere I read that NP can be connected with wlan cabel using wlan adapter.If is it possible do you think it will solve the problem?

It should solve the problem. Also I've heard wlan cables come cheap these days on ebay.
Maybe a neighbor is now using a bad channel. See adjacent channel interference and co-channel interference.

Apparently my dsl modem blacklisted both nexus players, i don't know why, so the bandwidth for the two devices was limited. What i did was to reset the modem, problem solved temporarily, I already had to reseted it twice, as it blacklisted the np again. After doing that the speed in my nexus players is back to nearly 10 mbps again.

Hello,
I´ve installed several rooms (latest STAR) and I´m only seeing 2.4 ghz wifi networks and only connecting at a max of 72mbps on an AC router.
Any idea what might be the problem and how to solve it? thank you!

2.4Ghz only goes to N I thought. You'll need to connect to 5Ghz for AC. 5Ghz modem in this phone is very good.
Thanks, for some strange reason the phone does not show any 5 GHz networks, and while connecting to my router only gets 72 mbps.
I really don't know what the problem might be. Tried different ROM but no luck. Only with the official lineage connection improved to 144 mbps. But still no 5ghz...

I'm able to see the difference. WiFi Slushy is 5Ghz. Slurpee is 2.4Ghz.
I am on Turbo GTX19 ROM. Recommend it btw, but the speeds you look for are only available on 5Ghz WiFi.
HI,
My problem is really that the phone mainly shows 2.4GHz networks, and does not show my 5GHz. Even tried a different router...
Well, Incredibly the problem got solved somehow... just wiped clean the phone and installed Lineage ROM.
Back to 866 Mbps
Ok, latest update...
With lineageOS I get decent wifi, no 5ghz issues or similar, BUT my 4G keeps dropping the connection.
Now flashed the GX-20 and all problems solved except my wifi... Back to 2.4 Ghs 72Mbps. Anyone has any idea whats going on?
Thanks
Recently after july patch<<<(i dont know but i assume) my hotspot tethering range of my phone is greatly reduced..i tried all ways to check.
connected with phones laptops everything..
my phone hotspot tether output range is supersmall to the point i need to keep my phone side by side with my laptop to get the signal which still gets 1 bar
what can be the issue and is the wifi/hotspot module same thing?
is my hardware broken?

Try resetting the network options in settings/system
If it does not work
Try uninstaing and reinstalling the WiFi driver in windows from Device Manager.

Hey there !
Let me tell you I use my 6.1 Plus with hotspot for my laptop and it's on July update. So far I didn't faced any signal problem but yeah you have to keep the phone nearby for sure.
The phone supports 2.4 & 5Ghz hotspot bands. I can't use 5 because my laptop doesn't supports the same but in 2.4Ghz it's fine for me as long I get proper range and internet speed with LTE connection.

Yes this is to be expected because 5GHz is faster but low-range. 2.4GHz is slower but offers better range.
