Hello,
After finding the amazing WMWifiRouter I keep on searching for a program to help me extand the wifi range in my house, since some rooms i have no wifi in range.
I thought to put the mobile i got (Touch Diamond) in the middle where it can reach my home network, and connect to my home network through it.
In one sentence: make it a wifi repeater..
Any good suggestions?
Is it possible at all?
UMMM no probably not. What you are talking about is mimo and there is no need for it in general. you could use wmwifirouter as you gateway to the internet and use your home router to connect other computers. YOu would have a heating problem and power problem on your phone tho trying to boost the signal to connect. Tho you could move the router closer to the senter useing your phone to provide the internet connection and then you could put it where ever you can get the best coverage in the house. There are instructions on there website on how to do this even using DHCP from the phone thru the router. So maybe this way.
Pocket PC Wifi Repeater
I would also be very interested in this capability, I was in a hotel ounce where I had good wifi in bathroom but not at the desk. So when great wifi is just barely out of range this would be a great utility.
i would be glad to have something like that too.
I would request this by email to WMWifiRouter or if they have a forum not sure if they read posts here
When I first bought the touch HD I was thinking how good it would be to have this phone while having wifi with the lack of 3g for tmobile in the us, but it turns out that the wifi acutally suck! I have a iPod touch 2g And the wifi works great with blazing speed. I can't seem to detect my wifi at home mean while I'm connected on my wifi with my iPod. I been very disappoint with this phone for simple fact that this phone recieves wifi poorly. Anyone can help me out with this problem would be much appreciated because despite the wifi problem I love the phone cause the 3.8 screen is so damn sexual lol.
I've no such issues!
Try to set wifi power options to performance. Also, Enabling G Mode (with SKTools is one of the ways) helps improve speed.
Thanks for the info but it might be the lack of range of my router cause I have been on my wifi with the phone before but I get disconnected frequently and most the time it doesn't even show up or detect it but I don't have that problem with the iPod. With iPod I seem to get wifi everywhere. I'm starting to believe the iPod is better might sell it and get a iPhone or maybe a hero but don't know if I'm willing to spend 600+ on another phone
Next time put [rant] on the title
My wifi connects well to open, WEP, and WPA connections. I tried numerous access points (at least 30), even 802.11n APs in mixed g mode. It even connects to Apple Airport (802.11g). The connection is stable both on power saving and best performance, but I think I get much better speeds on average with best performance.
Its wifi range is much better than my little HP 613 smartphone, but again worse than my notebook. I get 54Mbit connection with signal quality of about 50% at 10 meters through a wall and then it automatically finds another channel on another AP. It roams (handover) APs better than some Lenovo r61 laptops around!
But I am not satisfied with its speed (even on best performance) - it finishes copying a 700MB file on a 54 Mbit connection in 30-40 minutes using total commander and saving on storage card. That means average speed is around 300-400KB/s - laptop does the same (same AP, same file, same network settings) at 1.6-1.8 MB/s in around 7 minutes.
I also noticed that saving on storage card is slighty faster than into the main memory...
I can't seem to detect my wifi at home mean while I'm connected on my wifi with my iPod.

Hmm, are you sure that you don't compare two different situations ? Did you also try connecting to Wifi with your iPod while already being connected with your Blackstone ?
My personal experience shows me that the Touch HD seems to have a better radio than the iPhone 3G. Have you upgraded to the latest Blackstone stock ROM and radio available on the HTC website or XDA Devs ? Whether or not the radio also affects Wifi unfortunately I don't know.
Moreover, use WifiMonster to monitor the strength of the signal, it'll help you discover the best spots for using Wifi. I even receive Wifi signals from the neighbors' houses in my own house (not speaking about appartments), of course that always depends on the room !
BTW I'm pretty sure that a Hero won't solve your problem, it's the same old hardware specs as on the Blackstone.
The Wifi on my device works perfectly and i have had no issues at all with signal or quality. I have had more problems with my ipod than the HTC, are you sure its not the WIFI AP you are trying to connect to? Also are you using stock rom or custom?
I'm using the Energy ROM. I'm assume its my wifi signal its very weak and my touch hd cant seem to detect it. With my ipod i shows up and i can connect to it...will updating the radio make a difference?
I came across a startling discovery the other day regarding the Touch HD wifi. I was also having issues at home with weak wifi signal. I didn’t seem to have this problem with public access hot spots.
I have a Logitech wireless mouse connected to my computer and very rarely turn that computer off. I found that when my computer was off I would get a rock solid connection to my home wifi, but when the computer was on it would drop in and out. I narrowed it down to the wireless mouse was interfering with the Touch HD wifi connection.
I tried all different channels on my router, but as long as the Logitech mouse was plugged it I would get wifi dropouts. But as soon as I unplugged the mouse and the radio dongle, I wouldn’t have any problems with the Touch HD wifi.
I can’t comment if this is your issue, but something might be interfering in the 2.4Ghz with wifi.
Guys,
Sometimes even cordless phones, microwaves, etc will interfere with the connection.
Cheers.
As Poison Wolf correctly pointed out, other household items can interfere with the wireless frequency. Try changing the channel that's being used to transmit from your box (This will involve changing some settings on your wireless router so do some research before you fiddle around with it) I have had to do this before and can confirm it can make a massive difference.

Everybody has this problem because the card seems not capable of more speed.
But it seems nearly nobody cares.

Stron,
Hmm, interesting. The only reasoning I can think of is that perhaps there's a limiting factor in order to reduce the heat or something? I don't see why they would cap the speeds.
Cheers.
What if it is capable of connecting at 54 Mbit, but can actually do only 11 Mbit? Nice trick. I hope it is just a bad idea.
Yay so I'm really happy about the iconia so far. The whole no acees to SD card through computer while connected to the computer will take some getting used to, but its the wifi that'll probably get this sent back. It's really bad. I've reset the connection half a dozen times since last night because it keeps hangin and can only downloads app when in the same room with the router.
Now the issue is that I'm laying beside the router now and getting 2 bars. If I sit up I get 3 bars. Yippee. The signal in the bedroom, on the first floor, get maybe 1 bar and I can't stream or download anything in there. I never get a great wifi signal in there', but its between 2 and 3 bars on my phone and netbook,. I wondered if there might be some interference so brought up the handy wifi analyzer and found 4 other wifi signals all on the first channel, so now my router is on channel 11. It didn't help any :-\
So if I exchange it, will the new unit possibly be an improvement? Is this just the way it is?
I noticed that the connection quality drops sharply the further away you are, but atleast on my tablet it still doesn't drop as sharply as in your case. I have the router here in living room and I get 65Mbps, everything works fine. Then if I move to bedroom or kitchen it drops to something around 20Mbps, yet it still works just fine.
What type of router do you use.I have a newer netgear with no issues my router is in the basement at front of house almost under the front porch.concrete ceiling above it. I can go out to my back yard approximately 200 feet and still get 1 bar and OK speed.I do notice. That the indicator bars do not exactly deplict your signal strength.
I also know there is a issue with some routers and the network card in this device I read in a thread long back.you have to turn off n or g feature I think it was.but do firmware update on router as well might help.not all routers are created equally Linksys sucks in my book. Lately
I can also see neighbors wifi signal but 1 bar they are 500 feet. Prob could not connect thou
Wish you lots of luck
hmmmmm
You could have a faulty Wi-Fi antenna ...
More likely, you are using a cheap router or a router with out of date firmware. Have you checked to make sure you have kept your router up to date with the latest firmware?
Also, have you tested this with other routers? If a multitude of routers show the same issue - you likely have a hardware problem with the a500 - if only your router shows this problem, then likely it is a problem with your local router.
a different unit MAY help, but I would try friends routers n such. My router blows but I can still stream Netflix no problem all the way across the house. I can't even do that on my laptop which has a beastly card. +1 for updating your router and device though, that might help.
Thanks for the replies. I have an old Motorola sbg900. I think I bought it 2 years ago. I have noticed that the iconia doesn't see as many networks as my phone does and the speedtest results are interesting. I left everything default in the app. By the router, I get 9 mb/s with the iconia vs 7 mb/s with the phone. In the bedroom, I get. .8 mb/s on the iconia and almost 6 mb/s on the phone. That is a huge drop and gap :'( I'll look up updating the router. I've never had connection problems before and we have 2 desktops upstairs plus both me and my roommates phones and both laptops and the wii and xbox. I just hope I can get some signal improvements on this nifty device.
sounds like firmware or...
I would find a friend with a different type of wifi router and test your connection with it. That way you get a pretty good indication of if you have a issue with your router or an issue with your Iconia.
Bother, my work wifi allows me to connect, but doesn't allow me to do anything with the connection. I am connected, but cannot do a speedtest. Relying only on bars the phone gets all 4 while the iconia gets only 3. The iconia also only sees 3 of the wifi signals in the building while my phone picks up 7 plus an open adhoc network. I know, it's time to visit with some friends so I can do a second test or maybe this is an excuse to go out for lunch today
ETA: At McDonalds, both devices had 3 bars and identical download and upload speeds. I've gone ahead and ordered a cheap $20 wireless n router to see if that improves things. It should arrive tomorrow, but since it's coming via UPS, it may not arrive until Monday.
Here's the deal and I don't know that this is the right forum but I don't notice it on any other device. I have a WiFi Router located in my Living Room. My kids bedrooms are located in the back of the house and I have not had a problem with WiFi on my laptop, Windows 6.5 or 7 phones, or Atrix 4g.
The problem:
When one of my kids takes my tablets into their room the internet in the entire house has trouble connecting. It only happens when the Tablet is far away in the back rooms. I was told this may be a priority setting but I don't know what that means or why this is happening. The signal is only 1 bar or 2 from that distance and the problem affects every device connected at that time meaning my wife and I would have our laptops next to the device and my other kid can have his Atrix connected and all of our devices no matter the distance stall out and won't connect. A lot of it is from streaming videos I THINK but if my signal is shared by each device the connection shouldn't be getting sapped by one of them.
any thoughts or ideas to fix this?

Completely false assumption. Any one device can totally saturate your connection... I for one would fine out WHAT the kids are streaming when they are in their room, and go from there...
youtube videos
I don't know if I should blame A500 or not, but after I got the A500 for a while, I experienced several times that my wifi router was in wrong state, I had to log into it and reset it.
Perhaps it's your router. I had a Netgear router that would freeze whenever I would connect to the internet with my phone browser but was just fine with my laptop/desktop, etc. I got a new router and everything has been working fine.
Rate this thread to express how you think the Honor 10'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!
No signal drop. Wifi range is pretty good..
WiFi range is pretty good and stable even with weak signal.
No WiFi signal drops yet since launch day
Wi-Fi range it's horrible, where I had no problem to stay on Wi-Fi in my flat with Mi4c, Honor 10 drops connection
It has noticeably worse range than my 5 year old Note 3. My old phone, laptops and iPad have no issues with Wifi downstairs, this thing drops out fairly often.
worst wifi & bt phone ever!!!! While bt connected to MiBand is the wifi useless.. speed drops to 0,01Mbit and 0, then disconnects. When BT is turned off everything is normal. I also tried connecting to other BT devices like speaker, hi-fi sound system, smart watches. Every device was on different places, so each time I was connected to different wifi network. I haven't those problems with Mi 4 C.
f_!#&^(!*@&[email protected]!!&!&!!_cking waste of money
Mine works great on wifi/4g when its conected to my smartwatch.
Do a factory reset, and try again.

My friend your ISP is ****. If upload is more than download then there is a problem on your ISP. Now as i see on your other test it switched server terminals. Well you can not blame your device for that. But say thanks to your ****ty provider

Have you tried turn it off & on again? I must say only LOL LOL LOOOOL.. havent you read my previous posts??? I said I tried that on many places (many ISP)! This is not about the ISP, nor router because I had testet three phones side by side (at home with two different routers) - old crappy Redmi 1s, Mi 4C and this super-fancy Honor 10.. guess which phone is having the slowest connection speed with BT & Wifi enabled
Anyway.. here's nice picture for you with some sh*tty ISP 3Mbit over. 40/40Mbit plan.
I think its a dual problem too hardware+provider, i got 120 download and 110 upload wifi with my provider, as i should on my 500 Mbs plan+router I get even the same results on my y520 laptop on wifi.
As for the bt+wifi, its not normal.
Cant you get a refund?

There is a lot situations why is downlink slower as uplink - eg. QoS set on the router and I can tell you it's not the providers fault in my case. My HTPC on LAN has the top priority for web and it's always above 40/40 on my 40/40 speed plan. Secondly it's 2,4GHz Mikrotik RB wifi and it's crappy during the day when every wifi in the neighbor is active.
A little bit update: I found that when Amazfit Watch app is disconnected from my Huami Amazfit Watch the speed is terrible. Once I connect them together again the speed is okay. Tried also uninstalling Amazfit Watch app and the speed was great. Maybe related to this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/amazfit-pace-wifi-problem-phone-t3664805 so I should move there with my problem.
do you have a "book case or flip case "? i wonder if the magnets inside those cases can mess up the radio's..
because they sure as hell mess up the compass.
nope.. rubber Nillkin case
Problem solved?
Bluetooth+Wifi together without any problem?
what's the maximum bandwidth you guys managed to get with this phone? Is it 866mbps or only 433mbps? I can get 866mbps for my LG V30+ phone on my wifi router (Nighthawk X4S) but only can get 433mbps for the Honor 10 phone..
Just got this phone yesterday. I noticed that sending messages in WhatsApp stalled with the little clock icon. At least for 10 seconds or more. It made me investigate. I changed to 4G and messages get sent straight away. So I done the usually rebooted router, device and tried again. Same problems. WiFi test on 200mbit connection 5ghz was giving me 130mbit. My old Nexus 6 gets full speed. 2.4ghz no better, on Nexus 6 I get 130/140mbit, the honour 10 I get a measly 43mbit. The phone obviously has a problem. I've tested other devices and all including my old Galaxy S5 get max speed via WiFi. I do these tests right next to the router. I feel this phone isn't as good as it's made out to be. Yes it's a nice phone, great speed and camera but it for some reason takes ages to send WhatsApp messages and load YouTube videos, something my Nexus 6 never did. Bit disappointed as it's only new yesterday. A factory reset should not be needed at all.
================
A small update to this. I read around that the problems could be related to Bluetooth causing the slow browser load times, Instagram not loading and the problem I had with WhatsApp messages taking ages to go through. Basically I went to Bluetooth scanning settings in settings area and turned it off. I also turned off WiFi scan settings as you only need to scan for WiFi when you know there is WiFi to be picked up. Both I turned off and the different in browsing, loading of apps and WhatsApp are amazing.
Below a screen of the settings turned off. Hope this helps others.
