How to get max wireless speed (150mbps like in the samsung ad) ?
Do I need 5ghz N router ? and normal N 2.4ghz router won't cut it ?
I'd like to get this too, can only connect at 65mbps like my Galaxy s2.

Hey I'm using the Linksys WRTU54G-TM with Comcast. I get ~16mbps on speedtests if connected via wired. If I buy a new router(wireless n) then am I going to notice a decent speed increase?
Btw I do not use T-Mobile for home phone anymore.. just still use the router
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
Not to your router's internet speed.
Assuming you've got wireless G devices in the house, then those devices will have a faster connection to the router.
Wired connection to the router is likely to be 100Mbps, so more than your internet connection of 16Mbps, so something connected directly to the router is going to have a 16Mbps internet connection.
Wireless connection is much slower, depending on how far you are from the router, you may only have a 6Mbps connection to the router, therefore you can only use 6Mbps of the 16Mbps internet connection.
Think of each connection as being a pipe, 1inch diameter for every Mbps, so you have a 16inch pipe coming into your router.
Any pipes going from your router to your devices that are bigger than 16inches will let you access the whole 16inches, whereas any pipes that are smaller than 16inches will only let you access up to their own diameter.
You will only notice a difference transferring files on your own network. 802.11G is rated for 54 Mbps which is faster then the 16Mbps going to your house. I believe 802.11N is rated for a little over 100Mbps.

wired vs wireless
hey i can tell you difference b/w wired n wireless connection simply...
wired===> more perfomance,less convinience
wireless===>less performance,more convinience
n has more bandwidth and extended range so you MAY see an improvement.
The speed test you're talking about is on wired. Getting a wireless N router won't necessarily do anything for wired connections.
If you have a very fast connection, like something in the ~30-40mbps range, then Wireless G might not cut it. Even though it is rated at 54mbps this is basically never possible in real world scenarios. You need wireless N to reliably push 30-40mbps or higher.
Hi all! Has anybody compared recieving wifi from router with 802.11n and 802.11g? Is the difference big on our G3?
I have 802.11g and think about buying a new router, because I have poor signal in remote points of my flat (no, it is not so big
802.11n has a better range than 802.11g. And I have noticed the difference between my router and my cousin's router. So go ahead and buy it.
I have tried connecting my tablet to a wirless N connection but it doesnt pick it up. Anybody have this problem or know how to connect to a wireless N connection on the tablet?

I haven't tried it, but I believe it'll only work if the Wireless N Network is the 2.4GHz mode. The specs for the TPT say it is compatible with b/g/n, since a isn't supported the 5GHz spectrum cannot be supported.
If your router is simultaneous dual-band, meaning, it can transmit a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz network at the same time then you shouldn't have any issues. If the router is only dual-band and not simultaneous then you'll have to fall back on the 2.4GHz spectrum.
Hope this helps.
Oh, ok. The router was transmitting in 5ghz; changing it to 2.4 worked.Thanks
hello guys,
i recently bought a new router tp link (td-w8960n) that supports 300 Mbps connection rate. as far as i know nexus 4 supports Wi-Fi 802.11 n dual-band, that supposed to be 300mbps.
when i connect to the network (with and without wifi optimizations) the connection rate is 72mbps reported by the device.i have full signal (about -50 to -60 dBm) and the router about 1 meter from the phone without anything in between. the network is broadcasting in 2.4 GHz and channel 13 without any interference from other networks on the same channel.
my question is why can't i connect to a higher rate? at least i should be connected at 150 Mbps. this is very strange to me.
I tried the Wifi Bonding (Qualcomm) mod created by simonsmh to enable 40mhz on 2.4ghz mode. However it did not work. The mod is installed but without any positive results.
On my phone, I am still connecting to my home wifi @ 72mbps only while my other clients are connecting at 270-300mbps link speeds!
Any clues guys?

Same problem on my Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo). Work's on 5GHz but not on 2.4GHz.
Enable 40 MHz option in the width range of router 2.4 GHz or choose the maximum width of your router in 2.4GHz option , you are set to go and restart your device and router !!
