Oh...that?

Have you change your router 5ghz channel width to 80Mhz?

Tried on 80, same results(actually worse, but i attribute that to margin of error). But I don't really use the wifi, I routed cable for my desktop and TVs. Only mobiles are on wifi, not too worried about getting full 500Mbps on them.

But I can understand others who depend on wifi, maybe they might not get the full speed on it.

Which server did you select on speedtest? Telekom Malaysia server? hmm.gif

I didn't manually choose, auto selected some U-Mobile server. Don't know if switching to a Telekom Server would help.

Edited: Okay switch to a webe server in PJ. Results as attached.
537Mbps Down & 103.02Mbps Up

My apologies, I miscommunicated. That result is for wired. Previously all my test on desktop was with some U-mobile server in KL (auto selected), wanted to see switching to a nearer server would affect result or not. Now seems like can get 500mbps as advertised.

As for wifi, tried manually choosing webe server, switched manually to 80MHz width, link speed at 433Mbps, still getting on average 200+mbps only. Possible that my phone is just old, I don't have any other newer gadget. Not sure what modem is in exynos chipset, could be the culprit.

Hope that clears things up a bit.

S7 has 2x2:2 configuration.

What is your router model?

Seem like your router only has 1 stream instead of 2?

If you mean my AP router, it's tp link ac1200. If you mean router and antennae in the phone, then it's out of my league. I really don't know.

Eh? This is weird.....by right, your S7 wifi should sync at 867Mbps.

Your S7 can handle up to 400Mbps upload and downstream when wifi is linked at 867Mbps.

Strange...any setting at S7 that you need to change?

TP Link AC1200, original supplied by TM. Maybe this is an entry level router. There's only 2 antennas, I guess one 2.4 the other 5? So I guess cannot have 2 5GHz to maximize the speed? I still need the 2.4GHz to cover other parts of the home.

But again, WiFi is not an issue for me, don't really need 500mbps for my phone haha. Janji tv stream YouTube and Netflix cantik with cable.

Nope, as far as I know, S7 has issue with dropping to 433Mbps when connected to MU-MIMO capable router. Disabling MU-MIMO at the router will let S7 to be connected at 867Mbps

According to tplink, if beamforming is enabled, SU-MIMO will be disabled and vice versa. (it is 2x2:2, so single-user mimo)

However, supposely there is no MU-MIMO function for TP-Link C1200. On the other hand, C1200 has 5ghz Beamforming.

Did you enable 5Ghz beamforming? hmm.gif

Just add more information, beamforming are only available on EU firmware, if you are not messing around the firmware, then it should still be TM one. icon_rolleyes.gif

Oh wait....is it spatial multiplexing or mimo that got disabled when beamforming is enabled? rclxub.gif
