I'm using wireless tether in a 4G area getting about 10mbps but when I'm tethering I'm only getting 1mbs max! most of the time is actually less than that. Any one else have that problem, is there a setting that I need to turn on? Please help. Thanks in advance

I've noticed the same thing. I'm not sure, but I was thinking it might be a limitation of the WIFI connection. If you were not using LTE it wouldn't even be close to 1mb/s.

I don't think that's the case because I was getting faster speeds with mobile hot spot

Ok I I tried the 3.1 beta 2 version and that didn't work. As a matter of fact ut wouldn't even let me tether unless I was in a 3G area, on 4G it would kill 4G and bring it down to 1x ? ? What's going on here? Any body else? Do I need to use a different radio? Is anybody else able to tether 4G speeds?

Maybe Verizon decided to throttle connection for 3rd party tethering apps because my Mobile Hotspot is moving right along..

because thats all your gonna get you never gonna max out your speed. Mbps isnt the same as MB/s

Um, what? I remember when I used the Hotspot tether (official one) it was much faster than what this Wireless Tether is. And hint: MB/s = Megabites/Second while mbps = Megabites per second. Those are the same thing.

I have the same issue and I have tried a few different ROM's. Back when my phone was stock and I had the free MHS it smoked right along. Now it's in the 2-3 range. Used to be around 15.

I've never been able to get wireless tether to work very well. I've tried a bunch of versions and radios and it has never really worked for me. I've kind of given up on it.
