Hi there, I got a Magic (32A) with FroyoRedux, SPL 1.33.0010 and Radio 3.22.20.17. Everything works perfect, except for one thing: the WiFi speed. At july, I was visiting my parents in other city, I also updated my ROM while I was there. At my parents' house, with WiFi connected to a 8mbps internet connection, I got full speed (tested using speedtest.net app). About 3 or 4 weeks ago, when I got home, also via speedtest.net app, I got a fair speed (3mbps) via WiFi. I have 15mbps at home, but I though it was OK, since its fast enough for most applications I use. But, since then, my WiFi speed is limited to a extremely slow rate, always slower than my 3G speed. I have 600kbps at 3G, and I get, in the best results, 500kbps via WiFi (most of the times, it gets between 100 and 200kbps), even without any other device connected to my router. I tried using static IP, no success (actually, I was unable to connect while using static IP, even with all the settings done correctly). Using an app called WiFi analyzer, I can see that no network next to my house is using the same channel as my router does, so channel interference is also not the problem. I know a setting in HTC WinMo devices which let the user to choose between better wifi performance or better battery life, but I was unable to find such settings in Android.
So, I'd like to know if it is a known issue, or if someone out there has the same problems as me. I've seen many Droid and Hero owners having similar issues, but nobody with a Magic.
And sorry for any typos I may have commited, my english is not that good, I'm brazilian
All: I just got my WiFi Xoom, and I have it tethered to my (rooted) HTC Thunderbolt using WiFi Tether.
It connects fine, but seems slow when using Speedtest.net - I only get about 2Mbps Down, and less than 1Mbps up. When I tether other devices to the Thunderbolt (4G LTE) I seem to get much better performance which seems more in line with the performance it is capable of.
So, I was curious to know if there was some sort of a limitation or issue with the WiFi speeds when tethering on the Xoom? I can't say I see speed issues with the Xoom when connected to an access point at home on a cable modem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Rob
I dont know but the fist time I did a speed test with my TB and my laptop was very fast over 20BM, I did reset my phone and rooted one more time,now Im having the same problem :-( if someone know please help how to fix it!
Samthing here, when using the "internet connection" mode I get 20mbps but when using PDA net or Easy Tether on my TB it's like 1.5mpbs! Anyone got any ideas?
just did 2 quick tests with wifi tether and got about 6 down.
I just got my S4 today and this will be my reintroduction to Android after using WP8 for some time. So far I can't give any positive feedback as I cannot get this device to connect with my wireless. I have a D-Link Extreme router and it works great with EVERY other device I have in the house. I use this for not only my mobile devices but also my PC's and Home Theater components. I cannot understand for the life of me as to why this new to the market would have such an issue. Has anyone else encountered this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also had a D-Link router that the S4 simply would not stay connected to. It would say connected then work any where from 30 seconds to 2 minutes before the connection drops. This is due to a compatibility issue between D-Link routers and the S4. If you google this issue you will see a lot of posts regarding this. My S4 worked perfectly on AT&T's hotspot, wi-fi at Starbucks, and my work wi-fi so I knew it wasn't the device. I eventually had to replace my D-Link and now I can connect at home without any problems.
Ive been trying to use tethering to my laptop and its to the point of unusable, im getting 56k speedsi if that while a speed test from my phone im getting 15-30 down and 2-10 up.
I'm using wifi hotspot ive tried both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz. I have also tried the USB Tether but my windows 10 doesnt like it for some reason. Im on verizon with a shared Data plan that includes the Hotspot feature. anyone have any ideas
Thanks
No idea, but I've tethered to a Windows 7 laptop. Performance was good, so I never bothered to check the speed.

I am having same issue. I use T-mobile and my OnePlusOne never had this issue. I would go to gym and just turn on my hotspot and watch Netflix without issue in the past. With the MXPE, it's like being on 56k modem. Anyone else having this issue?
I tether almost everyday due to terrible speeds at work. I'm on Verizon unlimited and I do not experience any speed issues. I unlocked but I made no changes for tether as that worked out of the box
I tried Bluetooth tethering which works fine without any issue so it's not exactly a carrier issue. I also verify with t-mobile that they didn't turn of my hotspot feature by accident.
I have the same issue on TMO US. With my Nexus 5, I had fast, dependable tethering. Now with the MXPE my tethering is painfully slow and flaky. Not good at all when on the road.
I'm having the same issue. I just upgraded from a Droid MAXX that had fantastic tethering speeds, and now on my new MXPE it's like being on dialup. Has anyone come up with a solution? I've been loving the phone so far, but tethering is too important to me and I won't be able to keep the phone if I can't figure it out.
I've had this happen twice. A reboot fixed it both times.
I've had this happen more than twice... Hoping the devs can come up with a fix

I'm on VZW ULDP and mine can be painfully slow at times as others have indicated. Usually a reboot will rectify it. But that's not really convenient. I have it set up to start tether automatically when I start my car (bluetooth connection activated via tasker) so I can automatically get traffic to work or home on my z ultra.

I had my first tethering session yesterday. I am on Verizon. A customer I was meeting with needed email access on his Surface Pro and there was no free WiFi where we met. I went in and setup a portable WiFi hotspot. We were both quite impressed with the speed. Keep in mind, this is the only time I have tried it but there were no issues.
hello i just got my moto x pure and i was trying to tether everything seems to be ok until i try use internet in my macbook and is not trasmitting data,same thing happened with nexus 6 i found that when lte it stops transfering data,this is so stupid this is an unlocked phone and it wont let me tether?????? wtf........im using simple mobile unlimited 4g LTE ,i was using an Asus ZenFone 2 and tether without issues,thanks.
This happens almost every time I use the hotspot. Rebooting usually fixes it - temporarily. I'm really hoping that marshmallow has better hotspot performance on the MXP
I get this issue... It's not exactly slow speeds, more like a spotty connection. I use Remote Desktop to do my work, which should still technically run smoothly (albeit slowly) on a 56k connection. I am connecting to a Windows NT server, so I am only using 16-bit graphics quality to reduce the strain on my bandwidth. We didn't even have anything that much faster than T1 at that time, so I can't imagine a Windows NT server running slowly on a modem connection. I noticed a couple things that were strange, so I think there may be settings on my phone causing it but I cannot be sure.
The connection fast when I test the tethering at home, but when I am out the connection constantly drops. I cannot even get a stable connection to my server to do any work. This is not when I am in the car moving from cell tower to cell tower, this is if I am at a place without WiFi, such as my dentist's office.
Chrome gets stuck at "Resolving host..." when trying to visit any websites. This would lead me to believe it is a DNS error, however this does not explain the connection instability with Remote Desktop, and using the address's IP address does not seem to fix this, strangely enough.
I am on a VZW grandfathered unlimited plan, using the TruPure ROM. I did not want to move away from stock, but I did it in an attempt to fix my tethering issues. So far nothing has worked.
Hey Everyone,
I'm getting horrible internet speeds with my Cube i9 (1-2 mbps) while sitting right beside the router. It gets into kilobits if i'm anywhere else in the room. Other WiFi devices are working great. Its using a RTL8723B Wireless n USB 2.0 card and runs Windows 10. I'm really not sure how to fix this problem. I read a lot of reviews before buying this tablet and none mentioned a really slow WiFi being a problem. Have I gotten a defective device? Could anyone help me figure out how to solve this?
