[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] C2Q:
I have a sgs2, and for space reasons on the N7 I stored some movies on my phone for a long upcoming trip. Now I'll be deleting stuff as I watch it on my N7, just wondering if there's any possible way I can access another android device wirelessly or something without a network and grab some files off it?

Edit: I think bluetooth may be a viable option but it will be suuuuuuuper slow..?

Couldn't've said it better myself.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Headcase_Fargone:
This is my second Asus tablet. I still have a TF101 that I've used for the past 16 or 17 months that had this same problem. That problem is WiFi connectivity. As I type this I'm sitting about five feet from my router and have, at maximum, a 19Mbps WiFi connection on the TF700. I've seen it as low as 5Mbps.

I can't even stream HD Youtube videos on this tablet without it buffering literally every 3 seconds of playback. And that's five feet from the router. Meanwhile, my Galaxy Nexus will play the same video in HD from multiple rooms away with no pauses for buffering.

I've read complaints in the past about Asus tablets and their connectivity issues, but I was under the impression that this has been resolved with the plastic strip at the top of the device.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
No issues for me. I stream from my pc at about 30 feet away and still dont experience these issues. I have fios. and my speeds are pretty damn good.

[Asus Transformer TF700] henbone11:
nope
[Asus Transformer TF700] Headcase_Fargone:
I'm on a 24Mbps internet connection, so I know that's not the issue. And as I said, my Nexus streams everything just fine. This is really frustrating...
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Your issue sounds like it's all you. The WiFi has vastly improved since the TF201.
[Asus Transformer TF700] almostinsane:
None with mine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] spasch:
Way way better than my tf201. With YouTube I have a better connection on the web than I do with the app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cvflowe:
Absolutely no issues!!! Loving it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rsmin:
Nope, mine is actually running better than my nexus. Getting 22meg download speeds on my T700, Galaxy Nexus, just a tad less. Was constantly getting buffering on my TF201 but not the TF700. I am about 30 feet from my router.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Workin' good here

Steady good connection thru a coupla walls...
[Asus Transformer TF700] tmaurice:
Mine is fairly consistent, no drops, but not the best speeds. I have a 50mbps connection but can only get about 25mbps down on the Infinity. My Galaxy Note gets much better speeds because I can utilize the 5ghz spectrum on it.

I know - quit complaining.... lots of people would love to get 25mbps download speed :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rsmin:
What keeps me happy is that I can now watch You Tube with no lag or buffering at all. Never could do that with the prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adamskiadam:
I am using WPA2-PSK encryption and my wifi is awful compared to my laptop.

I have 90-95Mbit/s on average on my laptop while my tf700 gets between 15-25Mbit/s.

So no, it's not just you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Again - this does not indicate a problem - the wifi in the Infinity is not supposed to be as fast as the wifi in your laptop! The max speed of the wifi hardware in the Infinity is 65mbps (actually, I've read one report of someone getting up to 72Mbps), but most laptops have 300Mbps wifi cards.

Of course it's not going to be as fast as your laptop.... Has to do with the number of antennas, etc...
[Asus Transformer TF700] adamskiadam:
Ok, so then it's my bad for thinking that a premium tablet would have decent wifi hardware. But now I know better!
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Ummm, it's a tablet, lol! A highly portable device where size and weight are at a premium.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tunppi:
Where would you need any more speed than that in tablet use?

Even if you downloaded some bigass 'linux distros' using torrents, wlan technology is least of your concerns to get same speeds than desktop/laptop.

I have 200mbit internet connection and i wouldnt even think needing 1/4 of it for tablet

For OPs question: Havent tested my speeds yet but signal is excellent even from htc sensation tether!
[Asus Transformer TF700] adamskiadam:
To answer the OP's question: Yes the wifi speed does suck, but apparently that's to be expected on tablets.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
It does not "suck" - it's appropriate for the devices expected usage. There is a big difference.
[Asus Transformer TF700] polish_pat:
I have a Linksys E4200 and i am outside of my house, by the water, about 60-70 feet away from my router and i get one bar, but that more than enough for streaming HD videos on youtube and 1080p videos off my NAS without lag. So yes, this issue sound specific to you and since you've had the same with your tablet, im guessing it's youre router.

Change channels? dont thinl it'll do anyhting but youve got nothing to lose
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
No the wifi does not suck. You should probably return your tablet and stick to laptops. You don't seem to fully grasp the differences between a laptop and a tablet. The Infinity is not a complete laptop replacement. It can do many things a laptop can do but not completely.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adamskiadam:
The 802.11n standard specifies 300 Mbps theoretical bandwidth and as the TF700 is equipped with this, the appropriate expectation should be significantly higher throughput than what I'm experiencing!

But enough of this,

I was hoping the tablet could replace my casual computer usage at home (surfing and downloading media, many 10gigs and bigger) but so far it hasn't quite met my high excpectations, that's all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hawkmo0n:
My WiFi is excellent.

On par or better than my wife's Nexus 7 and my mother-in-laws iPad2. Darn near the same speed as my full sized notebook.

This unit streams YouTube, GooglePlay, Vimeo, etc with absolutely no issues. 30+ feet from my router through the floor and a couple of walls.

Coming from a TF201 where WiFi was deplorable I couldn't be happier!
[Asus Transformer TF700] troysbama1:
Regardless of what some here would say, there are obvious problems with wifi for many people. My galaxy nexus PHONE downloads at twice the rate this tablet does. I suspect it doesn't play well with certain routers. I have fooled with all my router settings and I get much faster download speeds on my b/g router than I do the n router while the upload speeds are virtually identical. Do some thread searching for many other people with problems.

On a 35down/35up connection I can only get 7/15 with an extremely spiky curve on the tablet. On the b/g router I get 13/15 without the spikes. My phone however, is getting 15/17 on the n router and the laptop is right at 35/35.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Headcase_Fargone:
Wanted to give an update for those of you having the same issue. As a last ditch effort I decided to update to 9.4.5.26. This was kind of a pain because I'm unlocked, but luckily I found a flashable zip that works with TWRP. Anyway, night and day difference. I now get a steady 65Mbps in the other room and very little buffering in the YouTube app.

Worth a shot for anyone that's having the same issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
That's where you are wrong - while the *max* speed of the wireless-N standard is 300Mbps. That does *not* mean that every wireless-N adapter is capable of 300Mbps. Just look at the selection of wireless-N USB adapters, for example - some are 150Mbps max, some 300Mbps, etc.

Just because a device is labeled as wireless-N, does not mean that it supports the max of 300Mbps.

Your expectations are simply not realistic in this case. Do you really expect to use a tablet to download files over 10GB??!? If so, you selected the wrong type of device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adamskiadam:
What part of theoretical did you not understand, nowhere did I say it should reach 300Mbps however as I've stated, it's a hell of a jump from a theoretical 300 to a measly 20!

As troysbama1 said, it maybe a problem with it not playing nice with some routers. I have a ASUS RT-N56U router and the next step is to try different security settings to see if it makes any difference!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
You are incorrect, sir. The *theoretical* max speed of this device is *NOT* 300Mbps!

Ok, let me be more specific since you seem not to understand. Different wireless-N devices have different *theoretical* max speeds (you happy?). Some have a theoretical max of 150Mbps, some have a theoretical max of 300Mbps and some (like in these tablets) have a *theoretical* max of 72Mbps!

It all has to do with have many antennas they have, etc. Do yourself a favor and actually research wireless-N before making stupid statements, ok?

EDIT: Here, let me help you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless-N

adamskiadam gets the "tool" of the month award this week.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
It just baffles me how some people have this mind set that when they read posts about issues and a few others confirms that particular issue its now a huge problem and that most people are now included in that problem. People this is a forum! More people will post issues and complaints then those that have no reason to because its not an issue. I have no issues with my wifi whatsoever. I understand that there are legit issues but this particular one is definitely not the majority no matter how you spin it.

Also keep in mind that the Infinity's does not do N routers. Stick to g or b/g you'll get better results.
[Asus Transformer TF700] samuelong87:
I had that problem with my tf101 and it started strangely at a certain point in time. I tot it was software thing coz it seemed to occur close after an update.

Nevertheless I got really pissed off when I couldn't even get WiFi connection in my room whereas my one x was working fine and I decided to send it for repair.

My warranty had just ended (I can only blame my laziness to go to the service CE centre) and I was ready to hear that either the motherboard or WiFi module was spoilt which would cost a lot and getting a new tablet would be a more economically sound.

In the end, no part was faulty and apparently it was some loose connection probably at the wifi module. It all worked out fine afterall and I was pleasantly surprised I only had to pay a nominal repair consultation fee.

So you might wanna get it checked as it may turn out to be just a small hardware issue.

One X to rule them all
[Asus Transformer TF700] troysbama1:
First, find anything in my post where I said most were having problems. Second, this tablet most definitely supports 2.4ghz wireless n according to the specs on their site. So either reading comprehension is an issue you struggle with or you're fully admitting there's a problem in your last statement. Which is it?

I completely understand a lot of people aren't having issues and I'm happy that's the case but the just because yours is working perfect doesn't mean mine is. When my phone has longer range and twice the download speed that indicates a problem. When it takes 8 minutes to download a 10mb file that's a problem. I'm not expecting it to keep up with my laptop, a desktop or theoretical numbers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
wow. when downloading Torrents, mostly comic books. they range at about 15 to 30mb. They only take a few seconds to download, not even a minute Same goes for other file when using host sites. Uploading/downloading to/from my clouds, is pretty quick too. sorry for your troubles.

[Asus Transformer TF700] troysbama1:
I'm still not convinced it doesn't have something to do with certain routers. When I first tried on my Belkin it would drop connection every 20 seconds which made it unusable. Then I found a software update for the router which fixed the constant drops but now it's just slow. I have been wanting a new router anyways so I have a RT-N66u on the way. If the tablet doesn't get any better I'll try swapping it for another one at that point. I love everything else about it. I just got to get the wireless issue resolved. The fact that yours and others work as expected makes me optimistic I'll get it figured out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
I have a fios router. My fiance had problems with her acer iconia connecting and disconnection. Slow downloads as well. I reset the router and now she has no issues. And this was months ago. She hasnt complained since. So i really think the issue is router related
[Asus Transformer TF700] troysbama1:
I have fios 35/35 as well but I run their router along with my wireless n router. I can switch over to the Fios router but the range is lackluster. If it wasn't for the fact that my phone and laptop work flawlessly on the n router I would agree completely with your comments. I work from home and sit on conference calls through voip and vpn and my connection is rock solid. It's just this tablet that doesn't like it. I figure an Asus router and Asus tablet shouldn't have any problems together unless one of them is defective. Hopefully I'll get that answered on Wednesday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
....... I'm going to take a nap. Just until Jelly Bean drops. (spectator mode)
[Asus Transformer TF700] henbone11:
I think the magnified interference of the 2.4ghz spectrum is partially responsible for many of the wifi speed issues. why this tablet is not able to connect to 5ghz networks is beyond me. pretty silly actually.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Have the solar promineces subsided?

Weird.

The tab I have is seeing a stronger connection and speedier transfers yesterday and today.

MOG which usually crashes, locks up or just plain dies has been working with no probs at all.

Kind of scares me...

What the heck has gone right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ali I Hagen:
My Wifi doesn't suck at all, but my wife does :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] troysbama1:
Way to kick a man when he's down :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] troysbama1:
Last update for me. Installed ASUS RT-66 router strait out of the box and did nothing more than setup a pw for wpa2. First connection test was 15/17 with a very flat speed curve. So this proves to me that the tablet doesn't like something about some particular routers. I can't say the old router was defective since it worked perfect with all my other devices. Regardless, I have what I consider to be a fully functioning tablet now with a pretty good router to boot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Headcase_Fargone:
What firmware version are you running? Like I said above, the latest version has worked wonders for my connection.
[Asus Transformer TF700] soh_vet:
Having switched over from a t201, i haven't experienced any wifi issues as i did with the prime. My gripe, if any, is with apps making the device sluggish. Stock launcher for me until there's a flawless 3rd party launcher which i have yet to experience.
[Asus Transformer TF700] troysbama1:
Not sure which firmware you're referring to. I've only had the tab for about two weeks and it installed .26 the minute I connected after turning it on. For the old router, it was almost unusable before updating the Belkin firmware. Neither of those updates completely resolved my issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MovingZen:
My 700 smokes the wifi performance of my old prime. Near, far, pretty much across the board.

That being said, can anyone tell me how I can test my wifi speed? Not out onto the internets, but from the router to my tablet. My e4200 has usb nas. Think that might be a better indication of network speed?

I've used speed test app on my tablet, and then gone to the website on my hard wired desktop and gotten pretty much the same speeds. I dont know that that is a true indication of wifi speeds though?
[Asus Transformer TF700] neo1738:
I think it' safe to say the majority of TF700 owners have good/great wifi performance. I for one have great performance that is unearthly compared to the TF201 I left for my 700
[Asus Transformer TF700] PolishPoet:
My 700 also blows the 201 and 300 away. I have zero problems with Wifi connections or speed. Better than my Bionic and wife's iPad. GPS works great. Still an occasional ANR, but no where near what I had on my Prime. I am a happy camper and hopefully will be more so after JB. ;))

Use iPerf. Eliminates and outside network variables.
[Asus Transformer TF700] paddycr:
I've been a little disappointed with the wifi on my TF700. At a distance I am getting speeds that were pretty much equivalent to my TF201. Unlike a lot of people, the wifi on my Prime wasn't awful, but it was generally slower than other devices. However, I did a bit of messing around with my Infinity this morning and noticed that my wifi speed differs markedly based on whether it is docked or not. Here are my speeds (average of 3!). They were measured about 35 ft from my router with one floor and several walls in between. I've used my Nexus 7 as a reference:

Nexus 7:

d/l - 8.28 Mb/s

u/l - 7.29 Mb/s

Infinity DOCKED:

d/l - 3.30 Mb/s

u/l - 3.16 Mb/s

Infinity UNDOCKED:

d/l - 16.10 Mb/s

u/l - 10.65 Mb/s

I am using the old dock from my Prime, but I have no idea whether that has anything to do with it. I would be really interested to hear whether other people see this too, particularly those who say that their wifi sucks, or whether this is something weird about my setup. Thanks in advance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ratman6161:
That is absolutely true and to top it off, not even all routers sold as "wireless-N" support 300Mbps. I still see some for sale that are only 150. In addition there were many routers on sale for quite a long time that were "draft" N meaning that they were made and sold as N long before the standard was finalized.

So questions to consider:

1. How old is the router?

2. Are you current with firmware updates on the router?

Some settings I found help immensely with my TF201: Check to see if the router is in "mixed mode" which seems to be the default on most routers I have looked at. For example the default on my Cisco/Linksys E3200 (and also my 2500) is "Mixed N+G" meaning it will communicate with both wireless N and G devices. I found that by changing it to G only I got much better transfer speeds on the prime. I chose G only instead of N only because I have an old laptop that doesn't speak N. Also my speed from my ISP is 30 Mbps and I don't do big transfers between my prime and my PC so 54 Mbps "G" is fast enough. Later I got the second router (the E2500) and set it to G only and the E3200 to N only. Anyway, getting rid of mixed mode really seemed to help.

What I actually get on my Transformer Prime is about 20 - 24 Mbps on speedtest.net which is not bad for a 30 Mbps connection from the ISP, keeping in mind that real world network speeds NEVER = the theoretical maximums. For example, try moving a multi-gigabyte file over a gigabit wired connection and what you will see as far as your real world speed will always be way less than a full gigabit.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
That's a significant difference. I'm not unhappy with my wifi, so I haven't tested the speed, but I may just look into it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MovingZen:
Have you been able to do this? I can't get the iperf app to run on my infinity.. I keep getting a wlan error when I try to start the clien? I'd be glad to post speeds. I kinda have a hybrid network runnin..two different wireless routers with a powerline connection between the

. I'd be interested to see how much the powerline slows my network. I'll test it against my motorola defyif I can get it working.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tunppi:
I cant say it sucks, but ofc it could be better.

Thats still way faster than im needing from tablet...
[Asus Transformer TF700] mischiew:
Works perfectly fine here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ImYoungxD:
Change channels on your router. I changed mine and I have increased speed by 8 mb. Use somewhere between 2-5
[Asus Transformer TF700] mbucks911:
no problems here. where my prime had 0-1 bar this has about 3, which is about the same or slightly better than my htc and a tiny bit worse than my mac, which has awesome connection

Could you test it undocked and post the results too please. How far are you from your router when you run this test?

[Asus Transformer TF700] yacht406:
I have an Infinity for about 2 days and I,m having the same problem with buffering HD video. It buffers more frequently as I move further from the router. I'm sitting 3 feet from the router now with Brighthouse cable at over 15Mbps and video is still buffering. thinking of returning this tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mordango:
I haven't read this whole thread but coming from a Prime to the Infinity is like night and day with WiFi radio.

My C7 infinty is picking up networks that are a full block from house - at least 300 yards away. It also connects to my own network so much faster than the Prime. Virtually no drops noticed. I'm happy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
My WiFi indicator never goes above 3 bars. Even when standing right next to my router. O.o
[Asus Transformer TF700] CaptainKelley:
No prob Bob.

Belkin router and no issues with five wireless devices connected.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
Starting to think something wrong with my tablet. I have the E4200 with 35mbps speeds and my Infinity has a hard time streaming music at 64kbps. It's driving me mad. I stand next too the router and still stops every minute or so. Movies stop every couple of minutes for a couple of seconds.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vsilva1993:
mine is just as good as my laptop.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
My wifi has been a lot better (in terms of the disconnect/reconnect issue) since setting my wireless router to G-Only - no more disconnects.

Also, I get 3-4 bars on my wifi even when on a different floor than my router - so wifi signal strength seems great on the TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SayWhat10:
my wifi sucks too

anyway to boost wifi speed on this infinity?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikr:
Not really I get great connection with the infinity
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Since Jelly Bean, I have had not a single wifi issue and wifi strength seems even better than it was on ICS! I no longer need to set my IP manually to avoid the disconnect/reconnect issues either - it's working perfectly.

My WiFi sucks battery like a hungry vampire, but I have no problems with connection strength.
