Wifi very slow download speeds

[aevans0001]

I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION. Well, at least for me it worked. I was having the same issue where all the devices surfed the Internet and apps perfect minus my android phones.

-log into your modem/router and change the dhcp ip address scheme from 10.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.1
-reboot modem/router
-send me a cheer if it works for you

***don't waste money buying another router nor waste time "rooting" your phone like all these dumbies are Suggesting.
***android seriously needs to fix that in the next update

Suprisingly this does seem to be the fix. I thought it sounded stupid but I attempted it and sure nuff my android phones are now opperating alot closer to iphone speeds.

I've just discovered something that may be of interest. I usually get speeds of up to 8mb but recently with my note 3 only it's been less than 1mb. I then put my phone into flight mode, re enabled wifi and did the test again, finding the speed shot up to around 5 mb.
I disabled flight mode and did the test yet again and it went back down to under 1mb.
What could be going on?

I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 and performing the actions that were suggested above had the same outcome for me as well. I put the tablet into airplane mode then upon exiting and re-enabling wifi it seemed to work great! Not sure why this is though.

My solution for ultra slow internet speed for Samsung Galaxy S4

Hey all. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and was having similar ultra slow download/uploads speeds. Of course the first thing is to do is check other devices in the home, to make sure it's your phone that's the issue. In my case, it was definitely the phone.

Here's what worked for me, and I hope it works for you too:

1) Reboot your phone.

2) Clear apps on the phone (hold home button > then X button on the right to X them all out).

3) Clear your inactive and background processes. (hold home button > click the pie chart on the left > click CLEAR MEMORY).

Now go to chrome and check your internet speed. (just type in 'check internet speed' and run the simple test from Google).

Like I said, it worked for me. I hope it works for you too.

Cheers,

Calvin
