    WIFI speed not fast enough

    I didn't make a note of the channel it was on when it was set to "automatic", but I know it was in the hundreds. When I manually set the channel to 165 my speed seemed to decrease further. My recall from when I last ran Wifi Analyzer when the router was on "automatic" seems to be that the...

    WIFI speed not fast enough

    Well, I do have something to report back. I changed the control channel setting from "automatic" to 165, the speed was even slower. Then I changed it to 48. I got 110Mbps on my first test! Obviously there is something with the Note 3 WIFI radio that does not like the upper channels on the 5ghz...

    WIFI speed not fast enough

    Mavrrick, Good thoughts. Here's my deal: My 5ghz network is WPA2-Personal, non-complex key, no QOS, No Multimedia prioritizing, I have not used any of the additional networks. I will throw another network up just to see... Speed test: Ookla As for latency, several months ago I ran Namebench...

    WIFI speed not fast enough

    Maverick, you got that right, MU-MIMO will be the bomb. YEA, i am starting to think my issue is really with the router, but I really have trouble accepting it after all of the methodical testing that I have done. I am more than happy with the 50Mbps on the 2.4 band. Hell, I tell everyone that...

    WIFI speed not fast enough

    Maverick, you are right on with your information and that is a sound assumption. For some background, I have set up probably over 50 wireless networks. I have run numerous tools to analyze my network environment (Including WIFI Analyzer). I can tell you that I have NO interference on the 5ghz...

    WIFI speed not fast enough

    I have a 450mbps router (Asus RT-N66R). I have just been bumped to the 100Mbps tier on Comcast. I have done multiple tests at different times (benchmarking against my laptop each time). I can only pull 50Mbps on the 2.4Ghz band (my link speed is 72Mbps). I know it's not external interference...

    AT&T Note 3: GPS Signal Lost

    I downloaded the "Phone Info*Samsung" app (Thanks ehosey). It told me that my replacement phone was manufactured on 1/10/14. My previous phone that was purchased new on 10/30/13 kept dropping GPS signal regularly. Literally unusable. I have used the GPS on the new phone for about 1,000 miles: In...

    Backup all settings (especially app folders) without rooting

    I too used Kies when I swapped out phones. It restored some of the settings but not all of them. In particular the ones that are the most time consuming to redo, like app shortcut folders, were not restored. I find it very disappointing that there is no way to backup and restore all of the phone...

    Backup all settings (especially app folders) without rooting

    Ok well that's great, but It took me about an hour to get all of my screens and shortcuts back to the way I want them. Given how messed up the GPS is on the AT&T version of the Note 3, I can see having to do this again. Already on my second replacement. For the record, I never had to factory...

    Backup all settings (especially app folders) without rooting

    I have searched all over for this and cannot find an answer. Can anyone recommend an app that does a complete backup of my device (Note 3) that will restore all settings including the app folders that I have created. I have used Samsung Kies, but that does not restore my app folders. I have...

    AT&T Note 3: GPS Signal Lost

    Re: GPS Signal Lost This is absolutely false. The GPS chip in this phone works completely independent of the cellular data radio. If you don't believe me, put the phone in airplane mode then make sure the wifi and GPS are on. The loss of GPS signal is a know issue with the AT&T flavor of...
